ComicBook's Reactions
"The makers of Dragon Ball Z: Light of Hope" understand the kind of power-up visuals and battle action that fans of the series have always wanted to see in live-action." - Kofi Outlaw
"The production looks pretty strong! The action was really tight, well choreographed, and improved with the effects. From what little I know about DBZ, that looked like a faithful portrayal of the over-the-top battles from the series." - JK Schmidt
"I'm a bit, but this certainly looks like a more faithful adaptation than the abomination that hits theaters a few years ago. It looks like they have a great sense of the epic action of Dragon Ball Z, and the characters look recognizable without being too cheesy. Looking forward to seeing the full project soon!" - Christian Hoffer
"The effects and cinematography are fantastic, you can tell that they put a lot of effort into making it look right. Even though I'm not too familiar with the world and the story, the trailer definitely makes me intrigued to find out more." - Jenna Lynn
