omg! EPIC!!!!! probably will get removed! beautiful scenery!!!! it looks awesome. Is it just a promo? or the official trailer?

Official trailer, both of them are.

Looks like Roshi is unleashing the Mafuba!! that’s nice!

How do you download it?

piccolo is not green!!!

Yeah, he is. Lord Piccolo may not be, but I believe we also see Young Piccolo here and he is clearly green.

Ok, this has to be one of the WORST movie trailers that I have ever seen.
If you are a fan of the whole series and are above the age of 13 and you like this crap movie, please kill yourself.
This looks absolutely fucking ridiculous.
All the little kids who are going to watch this, my god…and you’re going to be voting some day….

I can’t begin to fathom the amount of crap that his movie will be. I honestly hope it tanks at the box office, I hope it tanks harder than the movies shown in MST3K.

About a year ago or so there was rumor of a DBZ movie, the characters looked amazing but it lost it’s funding.
This is the bastard child of that awesomeness.

All-in-all, Hope this movie is a massive flop but the little kids probably won’t allow that to happen, will you, you little “know nothing about movie/story structure” shits.

Some of you will hate it and some of you will like it.

I agree entirely with what miler says. This movie looks to hold nothing from the anime other than names and the physical object of the dragon balls. I also hope that this miserable attempt at a movie fails in the box office. From the trailer I can already conclude that it won’t even begin to touch on the story apart from the need of the dragon balls to save the world from piccolo which wasn’t needed in the first place in the original story.

If kids these days truly see this as a great looking movie then I am truly concerned as to what will follow if such a shitstorm of a movie even does decent in the box office. Whats next? Thundercats without the sword of thundara? come the fuck on, if a big name studio pics up a story like this, the least they can do is hold true to the original story or make the fights as interesting as they were in the anime (ex. transformers, didn’t hold true to the original story but who the fuck cared the fights were entertaining and the story was…..decent despite shia lebouf).

But aren’t the dragon balls supposed to be glowy? If you seen the episodes when Goku first meets Bulma, the dragon balls glows when they come closer together, but most of the time they just look like shiny marbles. They still look kind of the same, so I think it’s good.

Anyways, this is only a teaser trailer, there’s still more stuff about the movie that’s unknown to the public. I bet a lot of people that complains about the movie now may change their minds when they actually see it. Give it a chance. xD

Either way, I’m excited for it. I like what I see so far, regardless whether or not they could do better. The only thing that really bugs me is Bulma’s hair. THEY SHOULD’VE KEPT THE GREEN HAIR! *bawles* T_T;;

Master Roshi was bald. So was Krillin, but apparently everyone forgot about him. Plus, we all know that the Nimbus Cloud is what made Dragon Ball entertaining and it looks like that was scrapped too.

Fuck this movie I hope all the film catches on fire and it never gets released.

We dont know if the nimbus cloud wont make an appearance. Plus rumor has it Krillin will make a small cameo.

[...] To be honest, it doesn’t look all that bad to me so far, although it doesn’t look like anything special either. It feels a bit goofy when Justin Chatwin finally appears in that orange gi, but then again, if he didn’t wear that at some point, the fans would have been pissed. I’m also not sure about the look they are going for with Piccolo (James Marsters)… ironically, it looks like something out of Buffy or Angel. What did you think of the trailer? You can catch a higher quality version over at thedragonballmovies.com. [...]

omg, do i’m getting old ? this gonna be the flop of flops, worst than the eriler movie made in thailand of db (the magic begins)
serious, maybe itts time to meke childrens, stop smoking ganja, and find a serious job.. thank you, this trailr probably changed my life to better….

i love dragon ball and dragon ball z and all i can say after watching both these trailers is – this movie is …..crap.

We have to remember that this is an adaptation and non-canon to the series. If you wish to only watch the anime, then well the new Dragonball Z Special should be online shortly.

OK im a huge fan of DBZ and not to mention goku isnt even grown up a little till the end of Dragon Ball so that is all fucked as well i do agree that the previous showings a year ago were much better i think they should fund it insted

that shit sting man, the same as street fighter

@ Kyle – The movie takes place during the sagas in which Goku has grown up.

ok from the look of the trailer the film looks shit a couple of people i know have said that to me parts of me are agreeing with them but i might give it the benefit of the doubt it might turn out good i know before you bombard me with messages saying the film looks shit i do agree with u its way off the story for starters and goku looks way too old for the timeline but something might make up for it dont ask me what but you never know look at transformers for example

Sometimes something bad happens, and your told “well thats life”. The bittersweet reality of things always reminds you that this world isn’t perfect. Many things are controlled by greed for money, and idocracy. Well this film is a good example of that, and everything else that is vile, unholy and disgusting. As a boy i loved Goku, and all that is dragonball. I grew up loving dragonball Z. Now i knew i would be cynical about a DB live action movie, but it’s not unfair for me to say that this movie WILL BE ABSOLUTE HORSE SHIT!!!!! The basics, such as goku being a full grown skinny white boy, piccolo looking like a gay vampire, the girls having main fighting roles just to sell sex, theses are all dissapointing. But its deeper than that. Dragonball (& DBZ) had themes, and a certain emotion to it that really inspired and comforted me. This story will be way off from the original. The world will be warped. The characters are the worst. The costumes are terrible. I hope it flops, and everyone involved takes a huge hit on this. Spend your money and time on something more worthwhile. What will you villians do next? Make a zelda movie with westly snipes as link?

Dude, Zak Snyder does the Watchmen and than the Dragonball Series gets this? It looks like a lameass Jackie Chan movie from 1997. Why is Bulma fighting? Why are there tricked out Dodge Chargers? Why isn’t Piccolo green? and where is his sweet turban?

This will OBVIOUSLY flop, DBZ has been around in America for over a decade now, the only people who will give a shit about this movie are the die hard fans who grew up with it and they’ve been given the metaphorical middle finger by Hollywood. This trailer is just downright OFFENSIVE. Little kids won’t even go to see this they are too stuck on Yu Gi OH and kicking my ass at Halo 3.

How about Leonard DiCaprio directing the American live action of Akira? HA. you think this Dragonball movie is bad, just wait until you get a load of Neo-Manhattan. Christ on a cross I hope noone ever gets a hold of the Lone Wolf and Cub series…

@ Legalize It – This isn’t DBZ, this is Dragonball. Young Piccolo is green in the trailer. Bulma does fight in Dragonball, she aids Goku’s quest on several occasions.

I suggest that people watch the original Dragonball before even critising this thing at all.

Give the movie a chance. If you don’t wish to then well, no one is forcing any of you to watch the movie. I know for a fact it can NOT be nearly as bad as the two original live action Dragonball movies made a long time ago. Dont believe me, go to the link below.

See what happens when the movie stays as close as possible to the anime?

BTW, Legalize It, Lone Wolf and the Cub series was already made into a live action movie a LONG time ago. http://www.crunchyroll.com/library/Lone_Wolf_and_Cub_Movies

sa ne ressemble en rien DRAGONBALL QUEL GACHI ET QUELLE PERTE DE TEMPS.

this looks terrible. it seemed like a low budget quality film. even the explosion looks lame. the composite effect’s totally ruins. i don’t know wether this is will be superb or not, but as a DB fan, i am not satisfied.

let’s not talked about that DB live action supposed to be close to the anime or not. but please take a real close look at the trailers… does that looks worth $100 million+ just like the rumours said? come on hollywood… that’s not the way u should spolied everything.

well i am not sayin that i won’t watch it. i am still giving this movie a chance. but as critics, this what we do. we criticsize for them to do better the next time. if there’s no critics at all, how can the movie maker knows what’s the world thinks about their movie.

i think your all full of shit!

HAHAHAHA!!!!

Anyone that supports this terrible shit needs to die slow RIGHT NOW. They are destroying a classic show(and my fav of all time) with this just to make a few bucks. This is going to be just HORRIBLE. Words can’t even express. Fox, please kill yourselves.

I grow weary of continuing informing you guys that this is an adaptation and non canon to the series. No one is going to force you to watch it.

You people shouldnt be hating on a movie you havent even seen. ontop that this is DRAGONBALL people not DRAGONBALL Z, theres a difference and this movie looks kick ass!! if dragonball and DBZ never existed and this movie was 100% original from the ground up all you haters would pay to see this movie if you were slightest action / martial arts fan and not everything from an animated world translates into live action. if you people had it your way exactly like the show and to please your minds,,THEN WE COULD SAY THE MOVIE WOULD DEFINATELY BE CORPSE SHIT!!!! these are filmmakers well aware of how to make a film………so lets see if you can do the same.

I am so tired of people saying shit about this movie, if you MILERLITEWEIGHT thinks it is going to be shit then i’m sorry you are so narrow minded you prick and honestly who gives a fuck about what you think, if you think it is going to be such a flop then dont watch it, i honestly dont want some idoit in the back row booing the movie before it even starts, i really wish you people are against this movie would just piss off, it is really annoying when you are excited about something and cant even talk about it because you have pricks like MILERLITEWEIGHT and DANTETHEPYRO bad mouthing the movie all the time, so why dont you guys fuck off and DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[...] the trailer in HD on the Dragon Ball Z site here. Posted In: [...]

As my old friend Patrick Bateman would say to this movie: “You reek of shit, you know that?”

C’est tout pourri ce film! I love DBZ but that’s a fuc*king bullshit!

@ Jangofett – 100% agreed.

Honestly what i think about the movie is gay because who wants to see a movie without gohan,vegita,trunks and all the others im gonna be pissed off if they dont put them in the other dbz movies if they make any more but im a super dbz fan but i dont know if the movie is gonna be better than the cartoon

I think u all are still fucking ridiculous for liking such a movie! lol

@ Jose – This is Dragonball, not Dragonball Z. Learn your Dragonball.

Gotta love the kid who is just ragged on my opinion.

I’ve shown this “trailer” to people who have never seen a single episode of DB and every single person said it looked like a good awful movie.
I’m angry at this adaptation for what it is, a bad movie. Yes, this will be a kids movie but even when thinking in that respect, it still looks pretty bad. Reminds me a lot of Power Rangers when they first came out.
Also notice the blatant product placement that just sucks from movies credibility[Note: Transformers(which sucked also)].
Movies like these have a massive budget, so they will probably look decent in terms of special effects but when it comes down to actual plot and storyline, you might as well watch your bathtub fill up with water.
Jangofett, that’s great and all that you hate me so much, I don’t really mind. I’m merely expressing the sheer satisfaction that I will have when this movie flops at the box office.
[Yes, I know this is just a trailer, it's not the movie. I'm not a little kid here. But trailers do reveal quite a bit about a movie, they are supposed to bring attention to the audience and make you want to watch it. So...this fails.]
Don’t worry, I won’t watch it. Never planned on watching it. I don’t see how I am narrow minded, a bad trailer/movie is a bad trailer/movie. Sorry I’m not going to dumb myself down to watch something.

Message me on AIM if you really care so much: S/N: Milerliteweight

Sorry guys, didn’t mean to post that twice. It just went through that way.

I had no idea that mine and Miler’s opinions were held in such high regards. Anyway, we were simply expressing how dissapointed we were that this movie is even being made let alone the fact that the trailer leads us both to believe it will be horrible. A PowerRangers movie from the mid 90′s had a better trailer and appeal than this does. I just can’t see why it was needed to liscence a live-action movie in the first place. All tihs will do is simply disgust and dissapoint anyone who truly appreciated both Dragonball And DBZ.

I don’t mind your guys’ rants, it just gets annoying when cursing and flaming is involved, agreed? Everyone doesn’t have to love it, but everyone also doesn’t have to hate it. Personally Iam psyched about the movies, I’ve been waiting for it to happen since 2000, didn’t think it would possibly ever happen. For the longest time I thought it was just as likely a Zelda movie would be made. But now since a lot of video game/anime adaptations are being made, we just might see live action Zelda, even Aonuma mentioned something about it being a possibility in the future.

in dragon ball series goku is a kid. not a mentally challenge 18 year old kid with a biker vest…
wtf i know the dragon ball and this is shit
only names are there nothing more.
way to go at scrapping something that could have been amazing.
how can people think it looks good.
its like saying mortal kombat 2 was a great sequel.
sorry im just pissed off cuz ive been waiting 4 this a long time and all i receive is total failure.
common they had the money to do something great.
1st i tought a live action movie would be nice, but now i think that a anime 3d movie final fantasy like would have been a lot more better.
they should have start at begining or saiyan saga.
i wish they change the names of every characters and the movie a just make this something else.

…is power rangers? agg

Is a disaster of movie, until now only there is bad adaptations. Boycott to this film, “anybody to the première”

The fact that some of you people are going out of your way just to say that you hate something is just sad. Unlike some of you I am waiting until AFTER I see the movie to state if I like it or not. A lot of people thought that Heath Ledger would be shit as the Joker in the Dark Knight but look how that turned out? Don’t judge a book by it’s cover.

Milerliteweight i was only using you and that other guy as examples, you are not the only ones who are ragging dragonball there are others and i was talking about all of them in general, i just find it very unfair that we have to listen to you guys saying that this movie is gonna be a flop, i am excited to watch it and so are many other people. I do agree that the trailer was not that great but i am still hoping for the best, it doesn’t help when someone is trying to support something and then you have people around saying that its gonna suck.
I dont hate you or anybody i just hate and am annoyed that you as an adult will not even give the movie a chance. So what if it sucks i mean it cant really be that bad that its going to put some people in tears of disapointment.

sorry I’m not like hating the movie- okay My view probably sounds like it but still its just that are u watching something different to wat i have just watch?
Im a fan at heart and i was giving this movie a chance but sorry i cnt now. why:

1) HOLLYWOOD:- if hollywood cnt do it then no one can? wateva u just made it worse….

I have given so much in hollywood b4 like in movies such as hmm lets think back- DEAD or ALIVE, MOTO KOMBAT etc which have bring such disappointment results not to mention street fighter – ooh god lets not even go there. i thought maybe lets give Dragonball a go because it was more successful than the others so its bound be a great movie NOT TO MENTION the bloody budget!! and wat they come wiv another moto kombat stage, fires spitting out fake rocks, SOMEhow cnt afford to make a real cloud so they got a YELLOW SPORTS CAR and NAMED IT NIMBUS!! thats leads to my second point

2) THE STORY
JEEZ WEN DID THE FUCK did GOKU GO TO HIGH SCHOOL— yes yes those who don’t agree with me can say “they made it so that they can relate to 21st century and to relate to also non-fans of DB.” “an adaptation of the movie and non-conan blah blah…” sorry but to draw in non-fans u cant change the whole story u have to make it more special by adding great effects making the scenery (which is not “”beautiful”" at all) better then that of wat i just saw and keep it original.
GOKU AND CHCHI ARE TEENS WHERE CHI CHI IS POPULAR AND GOKU IS A GEEK OMG ISN’T THAT THE MOST CLICHÉ AMERICAN HIGH SCHOOL FILM- LIKE (SUPER-BAD for example) god i cnt say any more on that issue.
WHERE THE FUCK IS KRILLIN!!!. Probably, if KRILLIN WAS IN THE MOVIE THEY WILL JUST MAKE HIM THE MORE GEEKY ONE OUT OF HIM AND GOKU WHO GOES “OOOOH MAN
GOKU YOU HITCH WIV CHICHI THE MOST POPULAR GIRL IN SCHOOL OR SOMETHING SO GEEKY LIKE DAT”

3) “IM NOT READY FOR THIS…..” –
WTF this is something u except Harry Potter to say not Goku. Bloody hell THE goku that i know and the goku U shud know will neva say something like this . Goku
was up for any challenge no matter he was obsessed not AFRAID!!!

4) Race
im NOT racist in anyway, i work for racial harmony so PLZ DONT get offend but i always imagine that if there was going to be a dragonball live action or wateva i always imagine him being japanese or at least aisan because……. he is!! And before ANYONE OF U HU says “BUT HE IS AN ALIEN” must think agen because yes he is from another planet but hello he has asian features IF U CAN’T SEE WAT IM SEEING then i fink u got the wrong show because a pale skin man wiv black hair and martial art suit is defo asian( japanese etc) Making Justin Chatwin as Goku is like making Denzel Washington as SUPERMAN who is also not human BUT STILL white!!! To me hollywood wants its main superhero character to be white and not interested in hiring other ethnic minatory and please dont mention something like (HANCOCK- SCTIPT WRITERS B4 U SAY ANTHING) – THIS IS WAT i call racism .

so this wat i have to say and u can argue back and back but its not gonna change my mind or anyones else’s who agrees wiv me – i just lost hope in this film

@ janet – Goku only goes to school for a couple of minutes, thats it. The story is actually pretty damn close to the real one from the anime. They just pretty much combined all of DB into the Piccolo sagas. And that Goku part, I dont think he is afraid of anything…he just knows he isn’t ready for either fighting Piccolo or turning Oozaru. Even several times in the anime, Goku left to train before fighting anyone. Goku isn’t Asian, he is Saiyan. He just grew up in the asian environment (Roshi is still Asian, as is Chi Chi, and Yamcha, and Grandpa Gohan etc etc etc).

@avenged did u read anything i wrote… cause i cant be bothered explaining myself again i think i sed everything and why.

@avenged
and u sed a couple of minutes couple minutes so does that mean that he went to school then??…
no because like u sed he went for a COUPLE OF MINUTES so how does it in hell mean that he went to school huh?
and lets forget about this race thing because all i was complaining about was that there is still an race issue in hollywood.
i have actually watch the anime since i was in primary school and still watch episodes today, and i guess u do too but you still say that the story of this film is close to the story/anime.
sorry but I strongly disagree, why:
*a car not a cloud, called nimbus ¬¬
*yes goku was not in high school
*if it is close to then story then where is krillin he’s not in the cast, krillin was goku’s best friend and also he’s first rival and not chi chi’s boyfriend. Wait boyfriend, plz don’t tell that was in the anime because that would be a complete lie.
*yes they could have made the film wen he was in his teens because dragonball was also set in his teens as well but he didn’t find the dragonball in his teens he found them with bulma( which i must admit thats only the few things that is true in this film along with the names of the characters and martial arts) when he was a kid so……¬¬
* close to the anime, wasn’t tiean the first enemy and not piccolo so…
*Goku was too dumb to understand a girl let alone fall in one in the ANIME, so falling for a girl when SUPPOSEDLY goku was “”in high school” was sooo not in the anime.

I can go on…… and i guess u will say that all the few points out of the many i could have listed were all in the anime…nope it wasn’t.

No sorry I didn’t read all that you wrote, mainly due to the bad grammar. Anyways, who confirmed that some random yellow car is the Nimbus?

@avenged
well sorry this isn’t a English class is it?

Forgive me if i am wrong but is this not a DB Movie fan site, if it is then why are you people coming here and posting all these horrible opinions about the movie, us that support the movie dont need you guys saying that its gonna be bad, we know that is a possibility, we really dont need you reminding, we are excited and hoping for the best, so please if you are not here to support the movie then please go away.

@Jangofett
Who said this place is just for those stupid enough to support this crap to bloat?
Trying to make it look like people are wanting this crap to be made when they in fact are boycotting because it was made, right?

You people dont have to support the movie, i dont really care that you dont, and i highly doubt that Fox gives a shit either, i am a fan of the movie and i have wanted a reall life adaptation the the show since i started watching it, i always knew that if it was ever made that it would probably be far off the original storyline, it has to be otherwise it might as well just have been another anime movie, face it, Dragonball and Dragonball Z is far from reall life and if they made it exactly like the anime series it would probably suck more than you guys say this movie is gonna….

you said it bruser!!
@jangofett
No this site was for DB fans who wanted to see how this movie will turn out, and comment on what we seen from this trailer, to have an opinion on it.
so i don’t know what you are getting at.
So what if i think the movie is crap and will flop, its mine and other people’s opinion like you, who has high hopes for the movie. ¬_¬

I do have high hopes for this movie, i think the reason why i am getting so upset is because deep down i think i know that this movie is gonna be dissapointing and that really pisses me off.

the one thing about this movie that bothers me the most is how goku is being played by a 26 year old actor. he’s only a boy when he fights piccolo daimao. don’t even get me started on the idea of goku ever being in high school even if it is just for a brief time during the film. in the trailer goku says “i’m not ready for this” he would never say anything like that. anytime a new challenge comes up goku gets excited for the opportunity to fight someone strong because that’s the only thing that he cares about, fighting strong guys. oh yeah, and apparently mai is in this movie and she fights. WHAT mai doesn’t do anything but look dumb and run away from goku along with pilaf and shu all the time give me a break. the last thing i’m going to say is what about krillin you cannot absolutely cannot have dragonball without krillin. seriously

You guys, seriously. Good or bad, wait until AFTER you see the movie to give your opinion. Saying that you know what a movie will be like before you even see it is just arrogant and stupid. You’re basing what you’re saying on a handful of internet facts and not on the movie itself.

-Danielle

100% agreed Danielle, everyone should just wait untill they have seen the movie before they judge it.

Wow, I can’t believe that I am posting a comment. This the first time I’ve actually felt compelled enough to put my thoughts down to post, and it’s all thanks to the stench of crappiness that this trailer emits.
Personally there is no need to wait because I am 100% certain that this movie will sux harder than a cock hungry bitch. This is clearly aimed for starving young kids and we can’t blame them for their eagerness for anything DragonBall related. But for mature fans of DragonBall, I would hope to believe that you would all agree with me when I say this movie should be retitled SuckmyBalls.

@Danielle
Why should people wait for the movie now that EVERY single piece of news coming out, either officially released or from the internet, shows that this flick’s simply made to be boycotted by the world.

shit, this movie didn’t come out yet and you are crapping all over it, many people complain that’s it not close to the story of the anime, but i’m glad, otherwise you would know what will happen, and that’s fucking boring, i’m thinking that ‘im gonna enjoy this movie, cuz i’m a big movie fan and i like DB alsow, you people call yourselves movie fans, all you guys do is complaining, complaining, bunch of cry babys, a movie is supose to be entertainment, and nothing more, when i watch one, i’m relaxed’ i’m enjoying myself, and i’m not constantly taking notes on what scene or character should be better, shit man, i’m done with this

it sucks. it really does. and it will. it will be the only thing it will do. the suit.. goku never took off the suit. and never a glowing silk suit. fuck it would be like a kimono, like martial arts people use. piccolo sucks. someone earlier said it right, they took spike, twisted a little blade style, and created a really nice piece of prosthetic crap.
give the movie to someone who cares, or at least to someone who cares about preserving the essence of the thing. goku would never fight with someone on the street, he was afraid to kill them. a prophecy? i never heard one prophecy in DB. its a simple try to make money from the name and prestige of such a great series as Dragonball, for me the best in the genre.
It can never be an adaptation. and it never could be made in a reality as same as ours. fuck, goku grew up hunting dinossaurs. its fantasy, not reality. the movie sucks.
roshi is a horny old man, who does nothing but to stare at his housewife juggs, but he is a really badass motherfucker, the sensei of goku. I would give it to peter jackson if he took it. theres a guy who can make an adaptation. and he could make awesome. to all you tossers that say it can be good, kiss my ass cus it deep throat’s. like your mother would do. and to all the other comrads, its the kind off movie that i would love to seed, only to see it put 2 fingers up the ass.

Back off the movie it doesn’t look that bad jus wait

-Grewupwatchingit

Have you seen the movie? No. So you have no idea what it’s like or what it will be.

-Bruser

Every single piece of internet news? We have seen a grand total of a few interviews, a few pictures and an incomplete (only having minimal CGI added) trailer that we really weren’t even supposed to see because it was for promotional purposes.

Watch the movie. Then make your comment. Thank you.

Hey seriously, …….is this it? after all this years and technology this is the best they can come up with? if so then they shouldn’t even do it……….The Matrix Reloaded did a better fucking job then this stupid teaser………sorry but as a fan we expect more i mean the series is fucking awsome , the games are great so why kill it….?

“WTF I SHOULD BEN PLAYING AS GOKU LOCO….THIS SHIT IS HELLA HOMO FOR REAL G!!!
I LIKE GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did anyone notice two things missing that are FUCKING main points to DB the firsr one is where is his fucking Tail he is a saying right or did hollywood make him a american citinzen….and the other one well find it…..?

Hey avenged….! nice that you belive in the film but common man you and me both as fans of years know that they fucked up and bad really bad………….seriously who? besides the actors and the people involved in the film think this is a good idea? I mean did these guys REALLY get into the fans mind or were they offered a cuople of millions and did it? I know this is DB and not DBZ or even Close to DBGT but for it to be a DB film you have to stick to what we saw not what they is going to make them money……….wheres the red ribbon army, where jajirobe where is KRILLING his best friend you the guy who died in namek and caused goku to transform in the fisrt place…..and i Fucking bet you that goku wont even transform into an ape all and if he does it will be for the wrong reasons…good damm it …HOLLYWOOD can kiss my ass….! why is goku a tenager?

Hey : first of all……..Dont we deserve to see what we grew up with…? Not some stupid wannabe film…..these fucking idiots are doing something that is going to KILL a franchise that has lived for over ten years……i mean based on the this awful leak it looks like there not trying hard enough……….You keep saying it’s an ADAPTATION ……..fuck them yeah they say that but there intensions are like the real thing……..They knew what they were getting there selves into ……..so why not do it right…? right? They miaght ass well do a fucking series off of this crap they call DB……..they have had enough time to come up with some great…….i mean over the years other movies (Mortal kombat, the covenant, matrix, ) have done better shit then this crap they call movie…..

Any real fan of DB-DBZ-DBGT-DBAF that thinks this is going to be a good movie explain yourself….Why…?

@Danielle

Are you saying that all that information about how they screwed up and will continue screwing up is just a hoax, and that the actual movie will be the decent adaptation we would all expect(like an Asian kid instead of Chatwin playing Goku, Piccolo’s green and bald with antennas, etc.)? Fox would be pretty stupid to do this if they were smart enough to do things right, because they should know this kind of hoax would just get people round the world to boycott just like they are doing now.
Well, since we trust what Fox’s been telling us, I can say for sure the movie will be as bad as it sounds beforehand.

No. All I’m saying is to be fair and not judge something you haven’t seen.

No Krillin? White Goku?
Automatic lose.

I don’t know how they roped Chow Yun-Fat into this one.
Maybe it was the bad economy.

The only saving grace, despite the lack of green, may be Marsters as Picolo.. that’d be the only reason for me to watch it personally… and then only when it comes on TV.

Points for at least including Yamcha.

@ narcosleep – Piccolo will be light green (you can clearly see it in some of the shots, but his actual young form hasnt been totally revealed yet. ) Bad economy? Dude the budget for this movie is over 100 million$…the “bad” economy is a recent ordeal.

yea im siding with the rest of you who thinks dat this is a load of crap…the fact that they kept out quite a few things makes me wonder….if they had so much money to make the dam movie why didn’t they include more?….

come on 100 mill?
Hello?

oh well…if this is what I can see so far then I won’t have very high expectations for the release of this load of bullcrap….I’d rather buy the dvd sets of the series and sit in front of the tv and watch them…

Hello again everyone. I’m getting terribly tired of the “kiddy” attitude that a lot of you seem to have towards “You can’t judge a movie by it’s trailer.” I’ll agree that some of the time, this is true BUT that “some” is a very low number. The majority of the time, if they trailer looks like it just absolutely sucks; it’s going to suck.

Found this, from a smart person:
“It seems like a typical formulaic Hollywood movie. Underdog gets bullied in the beggining, then he finds out there’s some latent potential ability or special power within him and that he must use it to beat some bad guy. He also gets the girl in the end and there’s some mushy kiss scene (already seen in the trailer).”

Thanks. Grow up kiddies.

@ millerliteweight- Except it wasn’t the actual trailer, just a expo teaser that was made quite a bit ago.

OH, COME ON!!! After I saw it I just wanna start bullying bastards that were trying to make that movie. I`m saying “were” , cause it all failed to be a real Dragon Ball movie for me (and I think that for every other DB fan too) ALREADY. As for me… it`s just crap. I MEAN COME ON PEOPLE… fancy cars, GUNS!(?) , characters looking like some kids-idiots, who look nowhere near to the original characters from the real anime Dragon Ball (no offence to people who are starring) . I thought that maybe we can see some damn good old Dragon Ball in other way than just in anime… BUT NO, some stupid bastard thought: “oh, guys, GUYS. maybe we could mess with this DB anime , do it in our BEST way to do fucking money and then hide for a couple of months to think about some other shit… bla bla” . HEY, maybe you (now I`m talking to the producers) could employ some people who can feel this mood and send it to the fans in real art instead of making another crappy mega-ultra-expensive shit… oh SHIT IT`S HORRIBLE, it`s people like you in this world who destroy other people`s dreams and… you know, I even can`t write at the moment, you will only piss off a lot of people with this shit just like you pissed me off. I`m with you guys (real DB fans)

I give up. Be arrogant. Go ahead.

A teaser is merely a very short trailer. Danielle get over it, seriously. While none of us have seen the movie in it’s entirety obviously, a trailer(hence teaser) is merely a compilation of clips from said movie. People who are expressing their disdain for what they have seen as of late, is merely their opinion towards these short clips which will ultimately make up the movie.
So yes, you can judge a movie based on it’s trailer.
Take for instance: If you saw a movie that was comprised entirely of poor animations and shotty dialogue but you only saw these things from the trailer. Would you really expect the movie as a whole to be any better than your preconceived notions? I think not.

People have their opinions as to how this movie is going to turn out and ultimately they will all be correct unless the trailer literally shows nothing of how the movie as a whole will turn out to be. It doesn’t matter how information is obtained because the information that is actually available is still(believe it or not) bad.

Also, this isn’t “arrogance” as you so lightly put, I find myself being no more superior to anyone here than anyone else. I’m merely getting across the point that everyone should comprehend, that teasers/trailers whatever you want to call them do reveal to an audience of how the movie(as a whole) will be.

Look at the definition of a trailer itself:
Since the purpose of the trailer is to attract an audience to the film, these excerpts are usually drawn from the most exciting, funny, or otherwise noteworthy parts of the film.
This trailer/teaser does not attract me, along with many others. So this will fail as a movie. A sad but truthful thing.

All in all, deal with it.

It amazes me how some of you know absolutely nothing from the original Dragonball.

Anyways, Millerliteweight…I know what a teaser is. But that isn’t the official teaser or trailer or anything. Have you not read any of the recent updates concerning this trailer and the real one that is yet to be released and is still being worked on?

Official or not, it’s merely a word and doesn’t change anything. No, I have no read anything concerning the movie since I am not interested enough and do not have the time for such things.
Once a movie is complete/almost finished, trailers are made since they are in fact merely bits and pieces of the movie itself. It doesn’t matter how long they work on a trailer or how “real” it is. What we have seen so far will almost definetly be the movie, which is why people have their concerns.
I really can’t wait until this comes out, flops and then this site dies like most fan sites of this nature that I’ve been to in the past.

@ millerliteweight – Hey, buddy…This site has been up long before official movie news started popping up. It was focused on the anime, now its focused on both. You know you’re going to go see this movie and love it. Stop coming here just to complain. Goodbye.

I’m probably the biggest fan of the Dragonball sagas ever. I grew up following the mega series on Jump. not the English version but the original japenese version.

this movie is shit. period.
how could you like this movie if you’re a die hard fan of the original?

I’m speechless…what a dumb waste of money and talents. Bird studio should never have sold the rights to Fox. stupid adaptation….epic failure.

Really not going to see the movie, it’s easy to determine how bad it’s going to be. I have more important things to do.

- Milerliteweight

If you aren’t going to see it then why are you going out of your way to hate on something that you aren’t even going to see? Clearly you don’t have better things to do with your time…

Merely a thing of principle now, I did 12 hours of research today so I have a few spare minutes after I’m finished.
Stupidity is rampant, here and obviously all over the internet. I have an opinion towards that stupidity so I make it heard.
Get a life Danielle.

- Milerliteweight

Whatever you say.

Uhhh epic fail?

Millerliteweight, you have become a troll. Don’t tell someone else to get a life when you obviously dont have one yourself.

I . . . I can’t believe it! After hearing about this movie being in production years ago, I already knew that it couldn’t be a good variation of the actual anime. But this, this is horrible! I am SO MAD right now! The guy who plays Goku looks nothing like him and honestly, as an American myself, I would have rather him been played by an Asian actor! Granted with Dragonball and DBZ’s vast storyline, I wasn’t expecting to see many familiar senario’s, but the cars, Bulma fighting, no Krillin, Roshi with hair, I am almost at a lost for words! The fight scenes are going to have to save this movie! After I saw the mid-air fight between Agent Smith and Neo in the Matrix revolutions, the energy clash in the Powerman 5000 video “When worlds collide”, even the fight scenes in Kung Fu Hustle, I knew that bringing the fighting of Dragonball that we all know of could be brought to the big screen. I saw this: I hope the movie does well. I’m not going to see it because I’ve been following the anime since I was a kid and I find it distasteful. This one was definitely made for DVD movie to me, but I hope that many others would go see it so that they have enough support to make a sequel to redeem themselves from this potential flop! Now excuse me while I go outside and kick my puppy!

Just watched the trailer again . . . small cameo or not, how can we have an active role of King Piccolo when Krillin isn’t one of the main characters? Okay, its Dragonball, not DBZ and there are not many people that can fly because not many people know of the Buku technique yet. That I can handle, but like I said before, the fight scenes have to save this movie. Wait, there wasn’t that much high-speed fighting in Dragonball either so; not much flying plus no high speed fighting. . . yep, this movie’s still gonna suck! I can understand Goku not having his tail and even not having the power bow, but if the Flying Nimbus cloud isn’t in the movie, I’m gonna start kicking puppies throughout my neighborhood! Lemme know when it hits Blockbuster so I can rent it!

Was there really a point to block me from the site?(Don’t bother saying that I have no life since I had to go around the block, it took a grand total of 20seconds.) You tell me that it’s not possible for me to tell others to get a life when you say that I do not have one myself. The first time I posted anything on this site was on October 9th, then more than a month later I come back mainly stating stating my opinion on the fact that some people cannot understand simple logic and are trapped in their own little lives.
It’s really impossible to get through to any of you, re-read what I have wrote and understand that the movie will not live up to anyone’s expectations of what a DB movie should be. I come here because it bothers me that some of you are so rampantly defending something so horrible, I have an opinion and that’s all there is to it.
There is no hope for this movie to actually be something worth seeing, sad but true. I don’t want to hear any comments on “fairness” either, those are just misguided.

Avenged, when you have a problem with what someone is saying, it’s better to resolve the situation as best as you can. Nothing wrong with debating over the internet, no matter how much it goes against your own beliefs/values. Think before you just merely ban people.

Danielle, You have no argument of your own. You merely have to try and belittle everyone that doesn’t agree with “this movie should be good, we can’t say that it will be bad since it hasn’t come out yet.” and all that jazz. Deal with it, people are going to have disagreeing positions. Welcome to life.

Fyi, I’m out. This place is like talking to a room full of 8th graders. Ironically enough, I think that’s exactly what it is. Ah, the beauty of anonymity works especially well for you little children so as to not disclose your real age, yet it’s very simple to tell how old a person is just through their words. (I’m 21 and in college.) Any “jokes/comebacks” that I see in a month from now, just go to prove my point.

-Milerliteweight

Never said the movie was going to be good, I just said to wait and see. I’m not trying to have an argument. I’m saying don’t be arrogant.

You do nothing but write long paragraphs that show your insecurities. If you didn’t, you wouldn’t be stating things like your age and the fact that you go to college to make a point.

Good riddance.

I banned you because you’re nothing but a troll. I don’t mind disagreements and whhatnot, but you do nothing but flame other people here. Goodbye.

Hey all,

I just want to start out by saying that i am neither for or against this movie. i do think the trailer looks crap, but i am still going to watch it and not judge the movie until i have seen the finished product.

I think u guys/girls should really calm down. Everyone abusing each other and such, who gives a crap if someone wants to boycott the film. Let them responding to the hateful messages just inspires more hateful messages.

Now i do understand that this movie is not supposed to be the same story as the anime, but i still think that they should not have changed so many key things. Like Goku who is supposed to be around 5 being played by someone around 25. i mean i would understand if it were a 15 yr old because finding a decent 5 yr old actor would be tough but come on. And i also agree with the “where is Krillin, tien etc.”

I think the casting should have been thought out a bit more, i mean WOO HOO Chichi is hot… but she is supposed to be 5 yrs old so its just not right. and Roshi the skinny bald guy is now a large dark haired guy, making not only Goku & Chichi to old, but Roshi to young.

apart from some story/casting flaws i think it will be a rather good “but cliche” americanized version of yet another much loved anime/game/book etc.

Regards to all, Furyan

fuck this movie makes the show look bad and everything about it is shity you watch this junk and its a hit i think movies will never be the same again.

ok, if anyone actually watched the original dragon ball series, goku was like 6 or 7 years old through out a good chunk of the series. I mean, i personally think the movie would have been better if they casted a 7 year old kid to do this……. Also, Bulma never used guns… she was a wussy when it came to fighting, she was the one hiding behind a big rock. And what was Yamcha doing with a grenade? I understand casting a martial arts master like Chow Yun Fat, but he had hair, he’s really tall, and I can’t see him sitting in his bathroom reading nude mags……. This movie has the potential to tank if you don’t count the huge fan base this series carries and you know they will all go to the movie and it will make them do fairly well…… welcome to the world we live it, crap movies are blockbuster hits, good movies don’t make it past the cutting room floor…… :’(

Nope Goku was between 12-14 when it started. Goku was about 18 years old when he fought Piccolo jr. The more you know.

Hey Avenged,

Sorry to say dude/dudette but bulma was 16 in dragonball “well the start of it” so i dont know how goku could be only 4-2 yrs younger.

Regards, Furyan

Hey Avenged,

I aplogise, after more research i found somewhere saying he was 12. seems hard to believe im almost certain somewhere in dbz or dbgt bulma says she met goku when he was around 5 yrs old. but whatever, my mistake, i admit defeat lol.

Regards, Furyan

[...] Screenshots/Expo Trailer First we got some brand new and amazing screenshots and soon after the Expo Teaser Trailer. The teaser, although not the official and final one, gave us fans something great to look forward [...]

chantas no saben acer una pelicula real de dragon ball z

Obvious April’s Fool’s Day prank is obvious…

Have you people learned nothing from last year’s “Legend of Zelda” April Fool’s joke by IGN?

…You…do know that they are behind this one too, correct?

If a Hollywood (read: American) film-maker even approached the actual owners of this franchise (including Shonen Jump/Akira Toriyama) …they’d probably punch them right in the face the second this trailer opened.

Not only is it an intentional joke, but it is a plainly stated one.

People who are this gullible are the very reason for my misanthropy.

Sorry but are you stupid? I posted this October 2008. Movie will be in your local theaters next Friday noob.

Well movie sucked ass as expected, it was a typical teenager-esque action movie lightly veiled with dragonball. What a horrible, horrible movie.

Variety has given the report for the domestic premiere of Dragonball Evolution.

Fox’s “Dragonball: Evolution,” managed only No. 8 in its domestic debut, grossing an estimated $4.7 million from 2,181 theaters. Studio had limited expectations for the film, which was narrowly targeted to boys.

This was expected due to the lack of promotion for the film. Box Office Mojo even reports that the film has only made $30,071,834 worldwide so far. Let’s just hope it make enough earnings in theatres to encourage a sequel.

After reading that I suggest that more people(especially ones who want a sequel to this crap) get CAT scans at their local hospitals.
The movie failed because it sucked, not due to lack of promotion.

I just added you to my Google News Reader. Keep up the good work. Look forward to reading more from you in the future.

i heard they are making a sequel to this movie, is this true??
