I sometimes don't know that's worse out of the two:
The fact that 20th Century Fox had to "Americanize" Dragonball, or the fact that we have to stomach another lame Street Fighter movie (also distributed by 20th Century Fox).
I'll be honest, I don't have any high expectations for neither of them. As much as I am a fan of both SF and DB, there's something in these movies that doesn't appeal to me.
First, Dragonball Evolution:
1-Goku's a High school Student in the film (Goku never went to high school, he studied martial arts under the aid of master Roshi)
2-Bulma's Hair isn't blue
3-Piccolo looks like a freakin vampire from Buffy(at least he looks a bit greener now, yet missing his antennas).
4-Justin Chatwin looks nothing like Goku, not even with the goofy hair.
5-Master Roshi isn't a pervert in the film. (A bit of a let down cause I love Roshi's comedic antics)
6-the gadgets look like something out of transformers (a simple "Poof" cloud would've been fine for the effect)
7-Goku at one point in the film says "I'm not ready for this." (Goku almost never backs down from a fight)
8-Krillin isn't in the movie (he's an important character to the franchise too).
I could go on and on, but these are the main reasons why the movie has a good chance of sucking (Dragon) balls.
As for street fighter:
1-Kristin Kreuk, as much as I loved her in Smallville, she doesn't convince me much as Chun Li.
2-The poster itself SUCKS!
3-No Ryu & Ken. that spells FAIL in my book.
4-I got mixed feelings about seeing Taboo as Vega. Not sure what to say about that.
5-The movie doesn't feel like something out of Street Fighter
6-Balrog should have been played by a Mike Tyson look alike.
7-The guy who plays M. Bison doesn't convince me. Hell, Raul Julia was a more convincing Bison in the old campy Van-Damme Movie
My overall feeling is that while both films will be panned by critics (and hardcore gamers alike) they might achieve cult status or will be financially successful. They only care about the money anyway.
I personally think that I would have done a better job of bringing Street Fighter or Dragonball to the big screen, and that isn't saying much...
Oh well, Thanks again Hollywood for ruining my childhood.
Leave anime to the Japanese, will ya?

Well I think both will suck equally hard. But to let you know the guy playing Piccolo was actually on Buffy. SO that is the reason he look like a vampire.

What an ironic coincidence.
