New trailer just released. It's... not looking great.

I'd actually say that trailer did well to appeal people to go see the film, if they'd never heard of Dragonball Z.

Unfortunately, the people who have heard of it are likely to stay clear.

...did the script writers even read the fucking manga? Really? And, did the cinematographers and director take lessons from that group that did the Tetris, Pacman, and such movie trailers? That's what it looks like to me.

Yep. This is one movie to avoid at all costs. Horrible acting, bad filming, awful writers... no thanks.

And all that just from the trailer. I try not to judge a movie by it's trailer, but this one makes it horribly obvious that it's going to be seriously panned by the otaku.

All hail the geeks known as otaku!

I declare, here and now, I will see this on the first day of screening, just to scream obsceneties at the screen about how they've ruined Dragonball, and possibly Chow Yun Fats reputation.

This movie will be abysmal. A failure. Even worse than Double Dragon.

Disney implanted something in his head while they were filming Pirates of the Caribbean to make him want to act in more family-friendly films.

"HEY! HEY! GUYS! LOOK! We fixed some of it! Seriously! C'mere!

Yeah... Thats a green Piccolo! Oh look, we replaced Goku's gun with a badly done photoshop, Yeah... Nimbus is still a motorcycle, and yeah, the acting still sucks, but hey!

ATLEAST IT LOOKS LIKE DRAGONBALL? EH? WAIT, FANBOYS! COME BACK TO US~!"

Thats what that trailer says to me.

So, an IP about people so strong that mountains occasionally just fall over when they are nearby has been represented in a film where an ordinary flying side kick to the face is showcased in slow motion as if it's the pinnacle of physical achievement?

Neato.

Personally I felt that the trailer was as good as the source material allows.

That's a blatant insult to the source material, but I'll let that slide.
The problem isn't whether this will be a good enough movie in general, though I think it won't; the problem is that it's getting the Uwe Boll treatment.
In fact, is that who's directing it? Do I have another reason to kick him in the nads?

I can't seem to remember, what did Yahtzee say about nostalgia again?

I said I'd let it go by because I know Dragon Ball is a love-it-or-hate-it series. I'm rather fond of the manga, myself, and several of the games.

Games are fun but Dragonball was kind of a take it or leave it proposition when I was growing up. I didn't like it but only because I'd already been 'tainted' by Akira, Ghost in the Shell and other 'arsty anime'.

On the film-A true wonder. How can you deride somethin that can both suck AND blow at the same time?

Dragon Ball was never really that great, but top-notch when it came to sheer over-the-top action and ridiculousness. DBZ ramped it up to over nine thousand, etc.

You can still capture that kind of crazy on film and make it work. Look at Speed Racer. Unfortunately, it seems the makers of this film have insufficient access to hallucinogens.

I bet it'll still make a profit though. Idiot kids of idiot parents, go figure.

I prefer the manga to to the animé. The manga didn't take NEARLY as long as the animé did...

I prefer the Abridged DBZ series m'self. Covers all the plot points in 8 mins and a lot more hilarity.

Tis a sad day when amateur voice work and editing skills beat professional work. >_>

That was completely awesome in every aspect of awesomeness.

If they had gotten John Woo to direct, I daresay it would be the very essence of perfection.

Y'know, I really want to watch that movie.

For the same reason I watch horror movies these days.

Sadistic humour.

Look up TeamFourStar on Youtube. There are six episodes, though not all are available on TFS's page, at least when I checked last; you'll have to find 'em.


EDIT: Also this.

Okay look, I'm going to have to step in here.

This isn't Dragonball. You say "mehmehmeh more believable" I don't give a shit, Dragonball isn't SUPPOSED to be believable, what the **** happened to FANTASY?

Remember that? something you watch or play to ESCAPE the gritty grimdark world that we supposedly live in?

I could even excuse that, I can handle it being more 'modern' but the character is just all WRONG, in the trailer it has him making out with some chick, that isn't Goku, Goku only ****ing married chichi because he thought 'wedding' was FOOD. They even have him saying "I don't think I can do this.."

When have you EVER heard Goku say that? Especially before a fight?

Never. Never in a million years. Now, I know Daemon you said it's better that he's "less retarded", but he was dropped on his head as a child. I think that's more than enough of an excuse for him to be a little "Retarded".
This movie is going to rape this anime/manga, and the worst part is? I can already tell some people are going to like it and pretend to be fans of DB because of it. I just hope it bombs so badly that they don't go on to rape more of the characters with sequels.

Sorry to bring this thread back to life, but I was browsing through the local Borders today and I saw a copy of the book for the movie. I sat down and looked through it. I have to say, the story on its own is pretty poor to begin with. If the book is this bad, I can only imagine how crappy the movie will be.

pg 12

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEe

pg 13

-GGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhh-Hoh shit!"
