Poll: a Dragonball live-action movie

[Gothicwitch]

Dragonball never fulfilled the basics of good storytelling to begin with, so why oh why would I wish to defile my eyes and mind with this soon-to-be rubbish? Pass.

...I used to enjoy Dragonball Z as a child.
Then again, my childhood was horribly fucked up, and if they're going to rape my childhood, they might as well do it thoroughly, right? Mum always said never leave anything half finished.

god, i felt the same way with the super mario movie

No you don't, because it never happened.
Must...alter...reality.

HAHAHAHAHA!!!
yoshi....didn't...look...like....jurassic park...baby....dinosau---

oh god!!!
must....create...time....paradox!!!

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.

Fans, REAL fans won't even give time to air on TV!!!, it is dumbed down for the Disney Channel, i love hannah montana and the new yu-gi-oh 5D crowd.

It's gonna suck because Roshi's not a fat pervert.

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.

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.

IT IS RIPPING OFF DBZ and ITS DOING IT not badly, but HORRIFYINGLY BAD!!! In the promo, 20th century fox says that it is retelling the story of Goku for Moviegoers.

There are no Nazi's in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. They are Soviets. A bad movie none the less.

I am undecided. I am a bit curious to see the changes, as bad as they will be. But I also don't want to give Fox my "dollor vote". If I sneaked in, sure I would see it.

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.

Dragonball != Dragonball z.

If you watched the original series you would know that, as it invalidates your claims.

i was just ranting on that crystal skull part, and @ first it looked like she was wearing something third reich-ish.

I'm going to watch it but only on download and only to make fun of it. What were they thinking? If there's an anime that would not look good in live action its DB or DBZ. Just look at the Agent vs. Neo fight in the third Matrix film, it's going to be hilarious CGI pap.

The distinction between Dragonball and Dragonball Z only existed in the animated adaptation. The comics were all published as "Dragonball".

Also, I don't care about Dragonball really, but the movie doesn't half look bland.

I want to see it so then I'll know what I'm talking about when I'm bashing it.

You wanna get your facts straight when arguing on forums?, you're new to this internet thing aren't you?

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying there. Disney Channel? There's anime on the Disney Channel?

No I'm not. But I guess you are.
You do want to get your facts straight, yes.

Bulma now has black hair and wields Akimbo Pistols.



I wish I was kidding.

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 think you should put in the option with something like, 'frankly, i'm disgusted by what I've seen so far, but I'm seeing it anyway.'
