Nomurah! Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 [SIZE="1"][COLOR="HotPink"]Hasn't the DBZ movie been due for the past five years? Like every year the due date would change? I think so. I just hope Hugh Jackman isn't Goku.[/COLOR][/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orcus Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 [SIZE="1"]Ya know, Gavin, if they were doing a DBZ movie, they could cast Morgan Freeman as Kami. At least I think so. *shrugs* And as for Keanu Reeves ever being involved in a Dragon Ball related title [or anything that relates to my childhood in any way, shape, or form] would cause me to lose my mind and would require years of therapy to ever get over. I could deal with Shia LeBeouf As for the actual Dragon Ball movie in creation, I was disappointed when I first heard about it, I was disappointed when I saw the promo poster, and thanks to that god-awful shot of what James-Marsters-Piccolo looks like, I think I might need to go cry for a while. Will I see it though? You can bet your *** I will. And chances are I'll by crying the [B]whole[/B] week afterwords. [/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Well, I never really watched Dragonball. I was more of a Dragonball Z fan. I watched from the Freiza to Cell saga... After that, I lost interest (Probably due to Cartoon Network playing the same episodes over and over that never had any substance to them, but creating the spirit bomb!!! OMG!) So, seeing that I never really watched the Dragonball series, I'm sure I won't care either way as to how the movie turns out... It's kinda like how I feel about the Twilight movie: I hated the book, so I know I'll probably like the movie in comparison. (Although it won't necessarily make it a good movie) I 99% sure the movie will bomb, but you never know! It might surprise you, and the casting list has made me happy. (somewhat) On IMDB, I don't quite recall many of the characters, (besides Goku, Master Roshi, Yamcha, Piccolo, Bulma, and Chi Chi) so I'm assuming the rest of these characters are exclusive to Dragonball??? Either way, I like Chi Chi's casting... And I like Justin Chatwin and Emmy Rossum. Now, weather or not they'll be good as Goku and Bulma, I have no clue. I'm doubting it, but they're some of my favorite actors for a reason, so we'll see how this all translates. Best we can do is wait until April 10th and cross our fingers, toes, minds, and hearts!

The Spectacular Professor Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 [FONT="Comic Sans MS"]I'm highly anticipating this movie. Either it will surpass even the highest expectaions and rise to epic heights, or it will fail hard and I'll get a good laugh going MST3K on it. Either way, I win.[/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Not as bad as I had feared. I did break out laughing though at piccolos first expression in the trailer. Trailers is a little more dramatic then what I thought it would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 [size=1]Lol that's not Dragonball... When I think of Dragonball or Dragonball Z, I think of fighting, insane moves and lots of comedy. Doesn't look like it's in here. At best it's a movie [i]based[/i] off Dragonball. I have no hope for this film at all.

JCBaggee Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 [color=darkred][size=1]Mmeh. I've calmed down as a fanboy in recent years and grown to accept that many changes in movies are for the best. But this one...this bothers me. I'm willing to give it a shot, and it is perhaps too early to pass judgment based ona teaser trailer...but Dragon Ball does not look promising so far.[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheShinje Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Wow that was terrible. Perhaps we're not getting the quirky humor because it's short, but my hunch is the humor made way for super-seriousness. Random impertinent questions we should as the director. >Where's Goku's tail? Why is Piccolo a vampire? That's Master Roshi? Oh the prophecy! Well, I have my own prophecy, this film will defy the laws of physics and suck and blow at the same time!

Mr. Blonde Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 I immediately got a 'power rangers' feel from it. They shouldn't have wasted everyone's time and just premiered this on the sci fi channel. Apparently the director has signed a three picture deal that will extend the films deep into Dragonball Z. This is the classic problem when the studio thinks something will fail, so they put a half-*** effort into it and surprise... it sucks. Even the actors look like they're just going through the motions. This was not a children's cartoon in japan; I know it came off that way more in America, but clearly this is a children's movie.

Given how badly they've screwed up a Dragonball adaptation, I don't want to even imagine how they're going to change the concept of Saiyans and Androids (which given they've probably skipped Gero and the Red Ribbon Army shouldn't even occur).[/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
