Low quality, no sound...the teaser didn't really show me much to make my blood boil, honestly (outside that blatantly false "1st ever..." tag). So I'm not gonna rake it over the coals quite yet. I'll wait until I have a little more ammunition, first.

That's a good sport! Give it a chance to not suck before it probably will anyway. At least you're being fair.

A shame there's no sound but at the end of the trailer it says "First ever live action Dragonball movie!" Um..... Im gonna have to say WRONG on that...it's like the 3rd one not the 1st.... WTF were they smoking? I've seen the 1989 one and stills from another one....this one will be the 3rd...
You mean the unofficial Chinese one and the fan-made one that never actually existed? OK. This is the first official DB movie.

And it looks like ass. Day one.

If it's unofficial, why does Blockbuster Video offer it for rent? They're the biggest rental chain in America, but wouldn't they get in trouble for supporting an unofficial movie?

How the f*ck should I know? The point is that it's not an officially licensed DB product; look it up yourself if you don't believe me.

Overreact much? It was just a harmless question.

Official or not, at least they weren't as ignorant of the source material as these people clearly are.

Did you even see the unofficial film "The Magic Begins"? Because your statement isn't exactly true....

I've been trying to see some good in this movie, and I do think it will have some, but ya, pretty generic looking action movie as someone said. That kissing scene...bleh...not at all what dragon ball is about.

Did you miss the part where there's nothing Dragonball about the movie?

No, but at least the Roshi LOOKED like Roshi, and it wasn't just an excuse to slap a brand name on a generic piece of garbage like this....

Trailer is now up with sound. There's 2 versions. The long trailer is better cuz it shows a somewhat Green-ish Piccolo at the 53 sec mark. He's not dark green but he's green at least.

And after seeing the trailer in full Im slightly excited for this. Altho the talk of a prophecy? WTF?

That is true... it actually seemed as if those involved with The Magic Begins were attempting to recreate the first DB animated movie... but like this venture, more than half of the characters didn't look anything like their original counterparts - Roshi was a lucky one.

It looks Dragonball-ish after seeing those trailers, but can't say too much about it until the movie comes out.

Everytime I see the posters or characters, I couldn't help but think "Super Mario Bros. Movie".

That's what I first thought too. I've also heard it compared to the Street Fighter movie, but I can't comment on that because I've never seen it.

EDIT: On a side note, I'd probably go see this movie if they gave all the characters CG hair. Why? Because I've never seen a movie do it before, and I think it would be downright hilarious.

Yeah, that sound really made a difference. Listen to that kung-fu-ish music. It's definitely Dragonball.

New image of Piccolo. Apperantly this is Pre-Green Piccolo and he will evolve and become greener as the movie goes along!



Also: An image of Bulma with the power pole behind her:

Anybody see the weird dinosaur-ish Goku that some are claiming is his Oozaru form? I can't find it right now, apparently Fox is pulling the image from sites left and right. I think it might be still at Kotaku, but I don't have time to sift through pages, and the search is buggered.

The picture makes me sad though.
