Wow, that hurt my brain lol. Gotta love those terrible foreign movies.

MiriaRose · « **Reply #52 on:** October 20, 2008, 09:40:47 pm »

Your picture is pretty much dead now. . xP

But, anyways, on topic, I'm pretty optimistic about it. It can't be worse than the previous live-actions, at the least.

kurosakiichigo666 · « **Reply #53 on:** October 20, 2008, 09:46:26 pm »

My picture? Huh? I'm confused......but yeah It can't be worse than that for sure.

Teasel · « **Reply #54 on:** October 28, 2008, 01:05:18 pm »

I'm kind of dissapointed too. But I like Chow Yun-Fat (Master Roshi), and it may still be an interesting movie to watch.
Hey, at least they kept Master Roshi's hawaian-esque shirt!

Sayda · « **Reply #55 on:** December 21, 2008, 01:28:41 pm »

I just saw a trailer for this. It's suppose to come out in March of 09. It looks like it has an interesting plot, and they're calling it Evolution. Either way, the trailer still gave me goose bumps! I'm excited to see how this movie turns out.

Syd-chan · « **Reply #56 on:** December 21, 2008, 06:32:53 pm »

Honestly, it didn't look as bad as it could be. Some of it looks a little iffy, though.

Hey, I was that optimistic originally. the trailer actually took me down a notch though.
I'm still going to see the film, if only in support of James Marsters having something to do with anime.

@ Big Guy's comment:

Actually, Dragonball's story went on so long that it actually comes almost all the way to the beginning of DBZ. There was a story of grown up (late teens I think) Goku going into the tournament and not recognizing Chichi since she was grown up, they fight, we laugh, good times. The storyline that introduced Piccolo did have the more "grown up" looking goku i think so it's pretty accurate.

I'd love to see a film with a little kid playing Goku, that'd be awesome. Kid Goku is goofy enough that the kid wouldn't have to be even that good an actor. Just mug for the camera, remember his lines, and punch at the right mark on the green screen.

I will see it though I think that most movies are good ^_^

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #60 on:** December 22, 2008, 12:48:23 pm »

I didn't have a negative thing to say about the film until I saw the character screen shots and the trailer. I base my scathing opinion of the film and lack of hope for it on those two things. I saw the trailer and, for me, there is nothing good looking in it. It looks awful to me, just awful, lol. This is just my opinion and is, like I said, based on what I saw of the trailer and characters and have read of the storyline. It doesn't sound like Dragon Ball to me. It sounds like "look another Hollywood martial arts movie", and about as nonsensical as Bulletproof Monk, lol.

Yeah I guess the preivew didn't seem like it would follow the normal story but I like to have a change of story some time. Its kinda nice to have a story that I have not seen before. Though I guess if it gets way off track then it wouldn't be so good.

melchizedek · « **Reply #63 on:** December 27, 2008, 12:26:09 am »

I hope it isn't like the live action fist of the north star.

NC 17?

KogaRyu · « **Reply #65 on:** January 01, 2009, 10:21:07 pm »

I bet you almost ANYTHING that the climax of the movie is gonna be Goku doing a Kamehameha to defeat Piccolo.

Place your bets people.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #66 on:** January 01, 2009, 10:42:47 pm »

I bet it would be too. It's a little predictable. >_>;

princessmoon · « **Reply #67 on:** January 18, 2009, 10:12:20 pm »

I bet against that... lol.

MiriaRose · « **Reply #68 on:** January 20, 2009, 04:16:27 pm »

At least she HAS blue streaks.

Anyone remember the Chinese "monkey boy" adaptions? No blue in her hair whatsoever.

That or a Spirit Bomb. I'm watching some of the movies now and it seems the Spirit Bomb is the finisher in a lot of them.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #70 on:** February 21, 2009, 02:34:43 pm »

either way would be fine

I think it could be a good movie. I am very optimistic XD

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #71 on:** February 22, 2009, 08:35:47 am »

I read they already have the sequel written, so this will probably turn into a series of films. So, if you're looking forward to this movie, then it's good news for you! ^_^

nikkiolie · « **Reply #72 on:** February 22, 2009, 09:13:03 am »

well I guess I will wait until I see the movie before I know if it is good news or not. Isn't it coming out relatively soon?

Sayda · « **Reply #73 on:** February 22, 2009, 10:29:26 am »

This comes out in April, right? If only I had the money to Cosplay Bulma to it.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #74 on:** February 22, 2009, 10:45:06 am »

I think I will try to see it in theaters. It would be fun to see if anyone DID cosplay to it XD

for this I may have to go to Bridgeport

Sayda · « **Reply #75 on:** February 22, 2009, 10:46:44 am »

Haha yeah it would. We should try to go together!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #76 on:** February 22, 2009, 10:47:53 am »

We should ^_^

we can talk about it a little more latter today XD

Sayda · « **Reply #77 on:** February 22, 2009, 10:55:20 am »

Okidoki!

Syd-chan · « **Reply #78 on:** February 22, 2009, 11:18:51 pm »

o.o Never seen Dragon Ball [on my list!], but I wouldn't see this anyway. ><

nikkiolie · « **Reply #79 on:** February 23, 2009, 08:18:45 am »

XD we never really talked about it huh?

Oh well as it gets closer to time we can maybe arrange a meet-up or something.
