It's an amalgamation to me... Goku is clearly a DBZ Goku, not the DB Goku.

Yeah, and Underdog had a talking dog in it and Inspector Gadget had gadgets and a niece. Of course, they bleached all the things that made those franchises special and digested into the loosest plot similarities... all the while appealing to an audience that's too young to care, while alienating the fan base.

In the right hands this could have been a good movie... now it's, just as Zarius said, Power Rangers... but really really sucky looking.

That, or your tastes are just absolute bollocks.

I think the fact that there's so much different and out of place in this movie is the reason why they added that subtitle "Evolution." It's not a retelling of Dragonball, but a revised version of the storyline. Of course, I think it's awful, but I'm still going to the midnight showing.

*gobo* · 01-19-2009, 05:40 PM

I might need a ride.

Until I saw the trailer, it looked horrible. At least it looks like a fun ride now...

Soon to be at clearance at a dollar store near YOU!

(Honestly, even the new Dragon Ball Z anime based figures aren't doing so well. Marshalls and TJ Maxx pretty much got them in a couple months after TRU got them).

*Raph's Girl* · 02-06-2009, 01:47 PM

New trailer's up!! This time with our first look at Shenlong/Shenron!! Yay!! I was wondering if we'd ever see him!! He looks awesome!!

Amen to that.

The new trailer still doesn't impress me.

heh.. I'm totally against piracy of movies because it's completely unfair and an injustice to the work and dedication that people put into movies. ...But this particular movie is SO bad that there's no amount of money that I'll pay to go watch it. So I'll just catch a bootleg to see how stupid the full movie is.
It'll be one of those things I can boast about later... "I survived watching through the worst movie in the history of humanity".

*Ninjinister* · 02-06-2009, 04:42 PM

Shenlong actually looks semi-okay, but the rest is $#!+.

The video game based on the film is worse. Yamcha summons a truck to run you over as one of his super moves. A f***ing truck!

02-06-2009, 04:45 PM

Would be funny if that truck was Optimus Prime.

"Autobots! Roll out!"

So you've seen Gigli?

Once this thing is out on DVD, I'm going to bring a bunch of friends over to my house so then we can do mock dubs of the entire movie.

I can see no other purpose for it.

*Raph's Girl* · 02-28-2009, 02:47 AM

A bunch of new stills from the movie:

Piccolo and Mai:

Ya know if I didn't know this was a still for Dragonball I would think it's a still from a live action Tenchi movie cuz that house looks exactly like the one from Tenchi! Especially with that lake in front.... Yeah that's Grandpa Gohan (looks like he's in the middle of the lake).

Goku showing that he's got tons of mouse in his hair:

Goku and Grandpa Gohan in um..I guess it's a greenhouse...by the Tenchi Muyo house:

Bulma and Yamcha (why does he have highlights?):

Kah..me....ha....me....

*The Stryker* · 02-28-2009, 02:56 AM

I haven't been this excited for a movie since Chun-li.

02-28-2009, 04:30 AM

Every character just looks pretty damn wrong. I've seen cosplays at anime conventions with more acurate-looking characters. And that's saying alot when you compare a cosplayer vs a movie production team.

Okay, Grandpa Gohan looks fine, and Bulma is half-way there. The rest of the characters though are f***ed.

*Drtooth* · 02-28-2009, 09:14 AM

I can't wait to see all the people who thought Speed Racer was bad eat their words when they see a totally inaccurate version of an anime done by American actors... all I'm sayin'. Speed Racer LOOKED like a live action anime... this looks like a cheap Kung Fu telefilm....

*oldmanwinters* · 04-10-2009, 03:09 PM

Just got back from seeing Dragonball: Evolution.

And this film has convinced me that some cartoons just shouldn't make the jump to live action.

*Raph's Girl* · 04-10-2009, 05:31 PM

Welp... Just got back from seeing Dragonball Evolution. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be but it could have been better. It also could have been longer and they could have explained some background things like

I enjoyed the hell out of it.
