Poll: a Dragonball live-action movie

[invitationofchaos]

i was recently on IMDB when i came across this lovely piece of work. Ah yes, it does feel refreshing that one of my favorite series of the 90's gets murdered by over the top Animations and androgynous angsty teens with magnetized hair and enough red bull passing through their system to even place the vehicles they drive into a state of cardiac arrest.they called it "Dragonball: Evolution", i call it "my wasted childhood(*as told by 20th century Fox)". after that quick glance of something that can't be called a "good" movie,or should qualify as a movie in general; i google searched until my fingers felt like a group of stalactites held together painfully by my nerves,i found a hearty grouping of youtube videos that made me want to do ...something or another, but i really made me ask these Questions:
here's the video if you want to put yourself into a state of rigormortis-->http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFQOiLD4USg

and the list of the characters that you should give a damn:

Justin Chatwin ... Goku

Joon Park ... Yamcha

Jamie Chung ... Chi Chi
other cast:

Emmy Rossum ... Bulma

James Marsters ... Lord Piccolo

Randall Duk Kim ... Grandpa Gohan

Chow Yun-Fat ... Master Roshi
(copied from IMDB)


1.Why is Piccolo white?

they (imdb) says that he hasn't seen sunlight in 2000 years. while in the anime, he is dark puke green from the goddamn start

2. where's Tien, Yamcha, Choutzu, and Krillin?!?!

IMDB says they're gonna make a cameo appearance when most of them have been there since, well not day 1 exactly, but around the 2nd and 3rd, they never fucking leave!!!!!!

3.why does Goku (Played by Justin Chatwin) look like a metro-fucking-sexual?

IMDB has no answer, mine though can be summed up in one word -- androgyny

and 4(so i can leave you guys alone). Why hasn't Akira Toriyama killed them in a ritualistic japanese-like manner?

because both he and 20th Century Fox thinks it's just fucking dandy!!

here we go again with another prominent person screwing up his art.
first George lucas (i will not forgive him for EP.1 and 2, 3 passes BARELY because anakin got what he fucking deserved, the *****)
then Stallone (the first blood and rocky series ended in the goddamn early 90's. not when your age>=60!!)
then Speilburg (Why do you mix Nazi's, Nukes and Ailens in a treasure hunter's film, i don't know)
when will they know how to let a franchise either die or just leave it to the fanboys/girls/whoever else likes it soo much that they'll let themselves get sucked up into it and go that far?

I don't want to see DB, period.

a DB live action movie couldn't be any worse than the animated nonsense that was on television for like 4000 years. What an ugly ugly show. But I suppose that not liking a guys drawing style isn't enough to judge the whole thing on.

It's a big part of it though.

 

[Ago Iterum]

I don't want to see DB, period.

Yeah, I've never watched it, and won't begin to either, as, you know, it's a kids show. And I'm 18.

And I'm guessing the film will be aimed at kids too. Or it will try and pull an older crowd and fail.

 

[Avida]

The poll is kinda ambiguous

- I want to see the film, because i KNOW it will be absolutely awefull, but so bad that i can laugh about it with friends.But in an ideal world either this film would never exist or would at least be done well.

If MST3K was still around, then this movie would be perfect fodder. Otherwise its going to fail on an EPIC level.

 

[Tattaglia]

No.

 

[BuggyBY]

If MST3K was still around, then this movie would be perfect fodder. Otherwise its going to fail on an EPIC level.

There's still RiffTrax by the same people, and I doubt they'd give such a gem a miss.

 

[Vlane]

Yes I want to see it but only because I want a good laugh.

 

[Lord Beautiful]

I don't really want to see it, but I kinda want to, mainly because I expect Marsters to be damn good as Piccolo. Other than him, though, I expect it to be mediocre at best.

 

[Metalgamer81]

Making a live action film based on an anime is stupid. GTO was stupid and I'm sure DBZ is equally stupid. It never works out right, mostly because animation is entertaining partially because it's animation and some elements don't work in live action. In order to get around those elements, production studios change the characters, the plot, everything fans love about the series.

It's not worth abandoning the source material entirely to make a movie that only fans will go see being that fans will be disappointed with the result.

 

[Vlane]

it would epic fail!

No it wouldn't. It will!

 

[SwiftFlux]

I don't want to see it, but in the end I'm going to just...because... I guess there's no good reason to.

Maybe to scream obscenities about how flawed the acting and CGI are or how poorly it follows the actual DBZ plot in theatre to release frustration on such a bastardization of one of the only good anime series ever created

 

[buggy65]

Oh, I'm seeing this just because of how hillariously bad its going to be. I mean this is going to be worse that a Barbie Horse Adventures movie!

 

[Bagaloo]

I was never really a fan of Dragonball to begin with, so this doesn't really appeal to me at all. I mean, I watched some DBZ when I was younger, but I got fed up with it needing 4 episodes to move the plot on even slightly.

 

[Frank_Sinatra_]

If my memory serves, DBZ was shit and a live action movie would classify it as a cluster fuck.... So no.

 

[mattttherman3]

I know that this movie will be awful theres just far to many reasons to name, im going to see it then go on a huge rant
