They couldn't even find enough well read lines to populate a trailer with. "Cool" and "Who are you?" both sounded like they were about to die from an overdose on Xanax. The wire work looks terrible, the action looked slow and the plot completely retarded. I hope all of you that go see this never complain about Hollywood churning out watery shit over and over. It's because retards like you gladly lap it up. So thanks for that.

...were this kid actor. You always wanted to be an actor...probably saw Raging Bull 5693 times or something...been banging away at it for a while and things are looking pretty bleak. You're probably thinking of taking the money you have left and going to college, getting a real job. Then along comes this movie!...the lead role!....but...it's about Dragon Testicles. But hey, the paycheck will let you try your luck for a couple more years...besides, Dragonball must have a couple of hot girl fans out there you could bang....right? But it's too late...you are now....That Kid From The Dragonball Movie. The end. No Raging Bull for you. Hell, no Red Bull for you...

that Miyazaki's works count as films, not anime!
The irony....
by VoteRoslin08
Dec 10th, 2008
09:10:56 AM
The irony is that the only people that would ever see a movie called "Dragonball" (or "Dragonball: Evolution", for that matter) are fans of the show, but any fan of the show would tell you not to make this movie because it won't work in live action. Regardless, the trailer look a cartoon with its highly saturated colors. I was annoyed with this venture since it started, but I will see it, maybe or maybe not in theaters.

PS: Who wants the end of the movie involves the arrival of Vegeta, teasing the sequel that will never be made.

I have argued that Goku should not be a white guy, even though people have argued he's an alien and I have responded so was superman...blah blah blah......that being said I take it all back cause this movie will SUCK MASSIVE DONKEYBALLS and I would not want an Asian actor in the lead to take the blame. So sorry!

by Neo Zeed

this will tank hard. Where's the teleporation air battles with laser blasts that take out entire mountains? Instead we have your standard wire-fu stuff which stopped being cutting edge in this country since Crounching Tiger. And superhero energy battles resembling an episode of Heroes. The only hope of a movie is to go all out and be wild like the cartoon....because it ain't gonna be the storyline, obviously.
And the money shot was an old man...

Now true Dragonball fanZ might have a taste as to how us Transformers fans feel. Not too good huh?

Well this trailer shows a b-movie, low profile, low budget movie that can easily, easily be rebooted some day by a good director with good financial backing. Us Transformer fans are not in the same situation. Our injury is far deeper and more painful, and more public was our humiliation.

Looks better than the WEAK animation does

by Dreamwriter
Dec 10th, 2008
01:06:10 PM
It's Dragonball - the original series, before the action went so way super over-the-top. Unfortunately, most of Dragonball was a comic story of the various characters searching for (and occasionally fighting over) the Dragonballs, so not quite a good fit for a big-budget action movie. It was mainly aimed at kids (whereas Dragonball Z was aimed at teenagers). Having said that, this trailer doesn't look terribly bad to me. They could have made something really horrible, instead it just looks like your average summer action movie.

I'm seeing it just to see the hot and cute looking girls fight! Of course the movie looks like it's made for t.v., but....who cares! There's hot asian girls in it! And the really cute Emmy Whatshername! I just want to kick back in the theater for 90 minutes, drinking my soda, eating popcorn, and letting my mind go blank watching hot girls on the screen. You know...RELAXING! Then once it's over I'll go back to work and deal with the complications of the world and stuff.

Looks like absolute dogshit. If the Dragonballs hadn't been mentioned/shown in the trailer I wouldn't have known that's what this was.
And don't diss the first TMNT movie too much; at least that movie tried to be somewhat faithful to the source material.

... But isn't Dragonball Z a story that's better realized in animated form? The sight of two human beings martial arts fighting while hovering 20 ft in the air looks awkward and jarring. Are they going to have the anthropomorphic pig in this movie?

I wish I could have been a fly on the wall during one of the producer meetings. "Okay, Piccolo can be green, but no antennae. General audiences won't get the antennae. And make sure all the leads are cast by cocky, ironic, white Americans. The kids eat that forced attitude up, who cares if they actually have convincing bodies or fighting skills!"

Seriously! What the Fuck?

I've seen a few episodes of Dragonball Z and some of the other series, but seriously... WHAT THE FUCK? The trailer made no sense in or out of context of the show.

I can understand if they were pandering the the viewers or the non-viewers, but from my standpoint, they weren't pandering to anyone at all... just showing random clips from a movie with a random fucking script. Then again, I am drunk, but you'd think that would make it more entertaining.

Right off the bat in the trailer, they completely shit all over the story line. No Kami? Goku has no confidence in his fighting abilities? Seriously, CONFIDENCE was his defining characteristic in the Anime. A big FUCK YOU goes right to Tom Rothman and the people at Fox.

Oh, and this film looks like a steaming mound of tweed - I know these films are for 'da kidz' and all brains should be left at the door, but (imho) what tends to outright murder these films for me is the unforgivably cock-hungry dialogue. A good script can work wonders of even the lousiest of stories!
