its from the legacy of goku ad u idiot!

ok this movie officially sux to me, nothing i have seen or heard about it hold a glimmor of hope.

in order to make a true DBZ movie they would have to go all out to create the world of DB in order for it to work. do i expect spiky hair? not really but i dont wana see some lame attempt at making this frnachise into something its not.

this movie is for kids only so adults stay away unless you wana waste time and money or just time even for some of you. you know a movie sucks when they keep pushing the date of release back so dont say i didnt warn ya.

This is comming from a guy that actualy enjoyed ZOHAN so you know i'm very forgiving about this

As a matter of fact, I think that Brandon Fraser would make a good goku due to the fact that he has the perfect personality and look for the character. Anyone can get built for the movie but brandon has that face that looks like goku when he is happy and when he is pissed off. come on guys just look at him and the movies he made in the past.

at this point in the game its too late to be naming actors for roles since the movie is basically done and awaiting its release next year.

i really need to see a trailer to make up my mind about it finally

Based on the trailer, this movie looks horrible:

Linky...

There's a new trailer coming up soon supposedly, so maybe that will save the movie. Right now, the movie sucks and looks nothing like the show.


:shk:

wow, you people are losers. go outside!!! jesus christ get a f@%ing life

What? Bulma is not an action hero! Yet they have her out like freaking Tomb Raider. This movie is going to be so off. Like that fancy car, no one drives in DB! They all fly and stuff. This is so going to suck. But I'll have to watch it. Like Attack of the Killer Condom and Ang Lee's Hulk, you have to watch the car crash.

too true... it looks like this guy is wearing a prop for a school drama!!

Oh boy, this doesn't look good. I saw the second and first trailer and I was completely mortified. My friend was cracking up when I showed him these two trailers.

Why is Bulma fighting and carrying around firearms? She was never the fighting type lol. And Chow Yun Fat as Master Roshi!? I can't picture Chow Yun Fat playing a perverted old man. Plus he looks nothing like Roshi is this movie. Mai apparently is Piccolo's right hand women and she can shape shift What manga were they reading when they came up with this, cause it sure isn't Dragonball Why doesn't Goku have a tail? Where the heck is Kuririn?

Judging from what I researched about this film, there is gonna be a lot of pissed off Dragonball fans once they finish watching this movie.

DragonBall Evolution just came out in East Asia three days ago. I did not hear a lot of good things about it. But that's not surprising.
