Poll: a Dragonball live-action movie

[stiver]

Something a few people should realize: The Dragonball film is not a Dragonball Z film, so watching "DBZ" doesn't mean much.
Dragonball was a lot different than Dragonball Z, and one of the biggest things is that it wasn't retarded.

Piccolo isn't white in the movie.

Yamcha, Krillin and Tien don't make sense in the movie as they were introduced as characters in the anime sequentially as rivals to goku, and then fell into uselessness when Goku beat/got stronger than them. Thus they would essentialy have not much of a Part in the movie. That being said the original Anime took 120 episodes to even introduce Piccolo at all, so to get a movie made at all the entire story has to be fudged. It is the same thing when it comes to books/comics/tv/foreign/game adaptions that a story is never ever going to be similar to the source material. It isn't about being a continuation to or in the same universe but is to be treated as a seperate entity. Changes should be encouraged and accepted to allow for a good adaption, rather than to please the couple fans who don't care about good movies, and just want to see a word for word adaption.

Will the movie suck? Probably.
Will it suck because it is called dragonball and isn't what you grew up with? No.

The movie would have to be 3-4 hours long because it would take about 30-60 minutes for them to charge up their attacks....so epic fail.

 

[RAWKSTAR]

Guh... I'll go just to be a dick and correct everything they got wrong.

I'm very upset with Chow Yun-Fat now...

From the trailer I saw it barely even resembles DragonBall, even in the, "skewed interpretation" sense.

Goku not being a monkey-boy and uncivilized = Not DB. That was what DB, was mostly about. Re-reading the manga atm, I certainly won't bother with this movie. Hell, even Uwe Boll can do better than that.

i'm not exactly a fan of the series so to me it's just another fighting film. i'll probably see it, though, but i won't have 'he doesn't look like him' and 'he wouldn't have done that' ect so i'll be able to enjoy it more rather than comparing it to the anime

 

[KarmicToast]

Um...have you seen the trailer? Easy candidate for worst film ever.

 

[gigastrike]

Krillin should totally be in the movie as he plays a major part against Picollo.

 

[axia777]

This movie will be a train wreck of a train that was full of cow shit. Rotten Tomatoes will ream this movie for being one of the worst movies ever made with the exception of all the Uwe Boll movies.

A db movie would be awsome but not live action

The guy who plays Goku is white. 'Nuff said.

because Goku is really an alien, ***** on that instead of his skin colour, how about the actor doesn't turn into a monkey in real life.

Even if he was yellow, brown, or black, nothing change the fact, that this movie has NOTHING to do with Dragonball; the producers could easily change the film name, and characters/location/attack moves name, and we wouldn't even notice a single thing.

 

[BurnoutPriest]

Didn't that "trailer" have random scenes from different movies? Hoax? Am I just confusing myself? What the hell is going on?!

 

[Ravenholm27]

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.

ha not a kids show watch the uncensored version there enough blood in the first ten episodes to fill the great lake up

When I first heard rumors of the live action movie I knew it would be a bad idea and prepared myself to boycott the film. Then this trailer came out. I didn't prepare for the horror that was this trailer, my eyesight and hearing has been permanently damaged as both of my senses tried to put me out of my misery by attempting to commit suicide. This is easily one of the biggest adaptation disappointments I think I've ever witnessed (and I haven't even seen how bad the movie will be). The DB movie the live action adaptations of Resident Evil look good in comparison.

 

[Megacherv]

yes, to see how cheesy it is. The ending of the trailer was spectacular...ly hilarious...ly cheesy

the inspiration for the film goes hand in hand with the DBZ franchise, fucking it up is a part of making it, if they did make the film without any of the DBZ in it, then people would ***** that its ripping off DBZ and its doing it badly.

 

[jim_doki]

im going to see it. I don't know if it's going to be any good or if it's going to suck like a hooker with a vacuum for a throat, and I don't care. see, i have absolutely no attachment to the source material at all. If it sucks as a movie, then that's all I'll have to say about it. If, however it's good movie that takes the Dragonball Mythos and craps on it, I won't be complaining. Especially being that Dragonball started as a parody/retelling/adaptation of Journey To The West, I don't see a complete new direction as a crim against god
