Dragon Ball Evolution
I believe that is the title of the upcoming DB film. Are you all going to see it? It looks really lame. Its not even Asian people and the guy who plays Goku does not fit him at all and j=his hair is hardly spiked. Eew.
|
Hehe I saw this commercial and immediately thought "cute."
Even though I hate Dragonball, I'd watch it for a good few laughs and giggles. And that fire trick and the locker-opening thingy was pretty cool. |
I'll only be going to criticize the work of ignorant people who don't seem to even bother reading the DB stories, at all. xD |
I think Id be too embarrassed to actually go buy a ticket. It looks kinda cheesy like that Speed Racer movie last year.
|
I saw the commercial and I was like, "WOW". I'm not wasting my money on that XD

However it does look shocknigly bad. |
I hope the people made this a movie good, cuz the cartoon series was incredible and I hope they do the same with the live actioon movie and idk why they made an live action movie because there is stuff that I think is hard to put into but I guess I would have to see the movie in theatres! lol xD

Apparently, it's the DB universe but set in present time, which kind of distorts the already futuristic theme the series initially promotes. But I agree with the majority, the movie looks like another awful port of an old series being brought to the big screen. I also heard Piccolo won't be green, which is just wrong.
|
Daizex.com reviewed it on there podcast. picollo will be green.
|
It's not going to live up to the legend the anime was, but I'm going to watch it anyway. Mainly for the sake of nostalgia, but also for the lulz.
|
It looks terrible. I honestly not problem in waiting for the DVD.
|
Everyone I talked to about this said it sucked.

jesus mate, theres westerners in Japan, do you think they have Americans playing lead roles in 'big' Japanese films? Even if the idea started in the west, they'd still have Japanese actors, just like an American Dragonball adaptation would logically have Americans taking the lead. Saying that, there's nothing to say Goku isn't meant to represent a westerner in the first place, or that the main characters are 'asian'. |
Eh, to me it looks horrendous.
It reminds me of that horrible SMB movie of 93'... |

This movie will be the best worst movie every. It will be so bad that it is good. I will be the fist in line to see it at my theater! xD

I also don't see how a monkeyman from space can be classed as an Asian. And Dragonball has next to nothing to do with dragons, they're only there when a wish is made. Considering Dragon Wars drew more on the idea(s) of popular British folklore of dragons (and dinosaurs) and not the less conventional chinese/japanese ideas of dragons I'm gonna have to avoid your point. |
I've played the game on PSP and I have to say it's okay it's just like the shin budokai series but it doesn't have cartoon graphics.
|
Well, all the other characters seem to be somewhat asian but the main character. He is some lame white gut with ugly hair. They couldnt even give them that.

I've seen the original live action DB movie that was made way back in the late 80's or early 90's. And from what I've seen of DBE, the old one looks better- and it was cheesy, but hey, its an old movie. Kinda hard to make a Kamehamaha effect way back then.
What bugs me is, people have been waiting for this since 2002. They put it off and put it off, and we get this. And they even cut out half the characters- no Krillin, no Tien, no Puar, no Oolong, no Choutzu. And Kami, who had a major role in the Piccolo saga, didn't even create the Dragonballs according to this movie. And sure, the above characters are usless in DBZ, but I'm sure those who have seen/read DB know that they are all major in DB. I'll give this movie a chance- you can't judge something until you know for sure what it'll be like. But honestly, the only way I think this movie will be likeable is if you seperate it from the entire DB franchise and consider it its own entity. However, from the screenshots I've seen, I can't help but laugh...so I'm gonna go see it. If for anything, for the lulz. |

I love the fact Roshi is an overweight teen in this [/sarcasm] Haza, i can;t think of one cast member who strikes me as asian in DB, outside of tai pau pau, kurasaki, master Crane, roshi and at a push chichi. Near enough all of the DB cast are white, not asian. On top of that, it's a fictional version of earth, Asia isn't even in DB, neither is America. |

I see asians. Also you say that u dont see how the show meant for them to be asian? There is an excessive use of Japanese characters used on the show and it revolves around their culture with the cuisine and martial arts competitions. |
I still think that the producers and staffs didn't really check out the series properly.
Well, when is this comin' out. I know, somewhere in Easter, but when? I wish that the character who plays Goku would have more.... hair than that. Also, even when Goku is serious, he still has that goof look. The dude in that poster is just plain scary. |
