@AABBCC
But what’s the point of adapting a story if they aren’t going to keep anything Dragonball like they’re doing right now?

I Agree with what most people are saying Goku in high school is pretty shit but theres no point in making the movie story exactly like the cartoon story otherwise we will all know the story line and what happens
so now we dont know what to expect i think we have to give a chance and as long as the fighing scenes are as good as the cartoons we’ve got a classic on our hands ;)

This movie should had never been made, if they are going to make a Dragonball movie, it should be in CG.

A Japanese’s impression of this movie after seeing the poster:

One of the biggest jokes out regarding this flick is that people who said the casting won’t look bad started saying the official shots will be great when the set pictures were leaked, then when the official shots came out they began declaring the promotional graphics would be terrific, now that the posters are out they’re proceeding with saying the trailer would be amazing, and when the trailer gets released they will insist the actual movie would be the greatest adaptation of all times, only to end up jumping off cliffs in embarrassment when it got screened.

You people are saying this movie is gonna be bad based on what?
a few pictures, a leaked screenplay that may or may not be fake, and a few rumors…
I’m not saying this movie is going to be good, but neither bad; i understand the fear of Hollywood ruining DragonBall, but it is still too early to judge.
Wait for the trailer, and even go see the movie when it comes out, it wont be the same story we all know, it is an adaptation after all, but that doest mean its gonna suck.
We don’t have enough info to judge this movie, thats all i’m saying ;)

Open minded people, in your definition, are the type that simply lets people shit all over them

you know im in the middle on this one. it totally looks gay and from what i heard about the storyline change makes me even more doubtful. im hoping im proven wrong, but doubt that too. eh damn it, i hate that it takes so little to fuck up a good thing. like mr. 9000 and the lost childhood guy, i dont think too much so far. posters decieve though, so lets see……

@ a.j.

i see your point and get what you mean.
but from an artist’s perspective maybe, what do you think akira toriyama might think of this? as much as it’s true converging dbz page per page would be ridiculous on screen, it doesn’t mean that that’s license to ruin a franchise altogether.

my impression that this movie would suck still stands given what i’ve seen so far - with or without comparing it to the original.

@ Patrick

My point exactly. You’re a prime example of a close-minded fool, any fanatic is a bad fanatic. Your comment is a waste of bandwidth.

I used to love this show…. :( I have no clue what to expect from this movie but I REALLY don’t like the plot changes they’ve made. I don’t care if they ‘adapt’ it for a movie, that’s fine with me. They just seem to have lost the feel of the Dragonball world.

^ Agreed, besides we can’t judge any movie based on pics and some posters. We can’t say if it’ll be good or bad, simply ’cause we don’t have enough info.
Dragonball ended more than 20 years ago, and who knows, maybe this movie could give it a new rise in popularity.
But still, we should at least wait for a trailer before dissing or approving the movie …

Fanboys need to relax a bit and realize that there is almost no conceivable way to replicate the anime series in one movie. If anything they should praise the differences and welcome the fact that they are creating a movie loosely based on the series, in order to bring more people to give the dragonball saga a chance. I don’t get how people flip the fuck out over something like this. It’s a movie. It didn’t magically erase all of the great memories you had of the show and replace them with memories of this movie. Give it a chance, accept the fact that its different, and get the fuck over it. You may have a family or friend or two want to watch the show with you now if they like the movie. who knows?

How can this movie possibly be good. They’re placing Goku, a boy who grew up in the mountains, in high school. He fights a bully called Carrey Fuller for Carey’s girlfriend Chi-Chi when in the true DB story, Chi-Chi only had eyes for Goku. Not to mention they casted the wimpiest/skinniest guy in Hollywood to play Goku. The casting is just as bad if not worse than the casting for Venom in Spider-Man 3.

Oh and did I mention James Wong, writer/director of crappy movies like Final Destination 3 and The One is writing and directing this movie? When will these movie companies get brains and realize this stuff can only work in animation or CGI.
