It will never not be lame, because of the idea of it being Dragonball
Evolution. They're not trying to give fans a silver screen Dragonball, they're trying to create a fresh, hip, new Dragonball for this age that people can "associate with." Why do you think the beginning was all emo with Goku in school and such? That's also why they had no qualms with changing things around.
They turned Goku from a playful, carefree kid into a whiny little bitch. They removed Pilaf and let Mai serve Piccolo (lolwut?). They made Piccolo supposedly attack Earth twice and once with the Oozaru (lolwut*9001?). Piccolo only attacked the Earth once and that was during the Dragonball era while Goku was a teen. Piccolo being a spawn of "God" (note, the character's name being Kami-sama, which is Japanese for "God") and representing the evil side of him manifested as a sentient being.
But they also lost a lot of the essence of the show and what made it fun. The atmosphere was complete gone.

Yamcha was pretty much how I'd imagine his character.
How can you even say this? Yamcha's character was second worst compared to Goku! He could
never get near Bulma during the original Dragonball because of his fear of women and this is also why he could never steal their stuff during the series. He fought with Goku for awhile at first and pretty much left once he realized that there was also a girl around.
In the series, Yamcha likes Bulma and Bulma likes Yamcha, but the fact that he could never really do anything with her (because of his fear), Bulma pretty much moved on during the Z era.

Master Roschi I like the bikini reference, pretty good
but the rest of the film was a bit cack...
Roshi was a little off still... he was a perv, but not nearly as much as he should've been. If it were any close to the way the original worked, he would've asked to see Bulma's bosoms (in the series he asks to see her panties, in which she didn't know she wasn't wearing any) in order to help them

Maybe you ought to watch the original Dragonball (it's only 152 episodes vs Dragonball Z's 291) and see what the movie should've been. Dragonball has quite a bit of humor in it (more so in the beginning) than Z does.
