Unfortunatly I didn't see the Oozaru form before it was taken off dbthemovie.com But it seems that it was just a test image anyways, nothing finished or official really.

Found it!:


That's um....interesting.....remember...not the finished product....

This movie has really been a mix bag for me, one second Im really excited. Then Im suddendly dreading the fact there making it.

Meh, I'll still go see but probably hate myself in the process.

At this point, a movie based closely on Dragon Power would more accurately reflect Dragon Ball.

There are things to complain about with this movie, but I don't think this is one of them. People wanted Oozaru, and they got it. Considering this is hollywood, I consider that to be an acceptable version. We were not about to see Justin Chatwin turn into King Kong.

It looks like a fun action movie...but it does not appear to be very loyal to the manga whatsoever.

I'll watch it when it comes out, because I don't think it looks that bad and I love James Marsters.

However, I can't stand the kid they picked to play Goku. So far, from what I've seen of him anyway, he's a horrible and dull actor.

I'll be able to accept and enjoy some changes, but if this kid pulls the same emoish junk he seems to do in this other films...I'm sorry, but that's just NOT Goku!

New piccies!

Goku vs Piccolo - I've read that there'll be 3 stages for Piccolo. Old, pre-green, and full on green....this one is Old Piccolo...possably from when he first wakes up...We've seen plenty of Pre-green tho:



Chichi's pointing a gun at somebody!


Perhaps she's pointing at Mai!

Interesting twist on the Dragonball story, but it's sooooooooooooo wrong.
As a Dragonball/DBZ fan, a part of me wants to watch it because it's a Dragonball movie and it looks zany enough to be entertaining. And another part of me is deeply disgusted with how f***ed up the movie is.

I think it's at least a good thing that they stuck with the original cast of Dragonball; Goku, Yamcha, Bulma, Roshi, etc...

Question... Do they at least have their special techniques? Are we going to see the Kamehameha and Wolf-Fang Fist? Or will there be none of that?

I agree on all levels. I didn't really expect this to be amazing, but it looks horrid; yet I'll probably end up watching it anyway, just it is Dragon Ball. (since I don't do the theater thing, it'll probably be on DVD).

Exactly what I would say, except for "I'll probably watch it anyway." It doesn't even look fun in the "I know it's bad... it's REALLY BAD... but it's funny in unintentional ways," campy feeling that even the Chinese film was able to get to. I saw it recently (one of them, anyway) and at LEAST they got Roshi right. I don't think I'll ever forget that scene no matter how hard I try.

All I can say is "Contractual obligation." There's a reason why the Sailor Moon movie never came to pass.

Yep. They'll have powers... just not exactly sure to what extent. But I have heard there'll be a Kamehameha wave at least. I haven't heard a thing about Yamcha. Only seen a couple pics of him and he was shown in the trailer briefly.

I am going to go see this movie and ignore the fact that it rapes a franchise I love and grew up on. I am going to see it solely for Emmy Rossum.

I'll end up seeing the movie anyway, although my expectations so far are pretty low.

The new trailer (only released in Japan but this is in english with Japanese subtitles) is now available online! This actually is looking good! It's got the origins of the Dragonballs, Piccolo speaking, Grandpa Gohan, Kamehameha wave, and our first look at the capsules!

That actually looks pretty badass compared to all the crap we kept seeing before. Still doesn't seem to have much DragonBall flavor to it though...

This movie would probably have a much better reputation if the characters' names were changed and the dragonballs were called something else like "lizardspheres".
...Basicly having no connection to the Dragonball franchize at all.

I'd be more willing to watch it then.

I love how they said seven mystics created the Dragonballs. That's great, except Kami did. I guess that's the reason why they called it "Evolution." They're going to rape the entire concept.

...I'm midnight showing this if they have it.

MY EYES!!! IT BU-U-U-U-U-RNS!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously, no one even bothered to do any fact checking on Wikipedia before they made this? They got every element wrong, even in ways you couldn't possibly screw it up.
