Dragonball Movie

[DannyDamage]

James Marsters - Lord Piccolo
Character Description - An ancient being who despite his humanoid appearance, is from an alien race determined to take over the world. Piccolo is the cursed ruler of a demonic race who nearly destroyed Earth 2000 years ago, and with the coming of the eclipse and the possession of all seven Dragon Balls, he?s prepared to free himself and do the job right this time. Crafty and smart, Piccolo has some disturbing news for Goku, namely that the boy is actually a Saiyan who?s destined to join Piccolo as his right hand in destroying and enslaving the planet.

Yeah, that does look like it's pointing in that direction doesn't it?

*shudders*
I think they want to imply that piccolo is a saiyan....
Sweet dear zombie jesus.

Maybe this is the mythical Dragonball AF...

The "AF" stands for April Fools.

Never mind the fact that saiyans weren't introduced till DBZ and... oh what the hell it's not like they're reading this any ways, It's going to suck I'm not going to waste my money on it, end of story.

MWHAHHAHAHAHHAHAAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAH

GWAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAH!!!

RAAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH

Seriously though, i'm watching this movie like the Warcraft one, to see just how bad it fails.

Oh dear, this is funny stuff...

 

[broadband]

they also made Bulma a Trinity wannabe.

the worse thing is that even if its going to suck or not, it will gains lots of money.

 

[Helmet]

.....Oh dear God. This will either suck on a level that makes Uwe Boll films almost watchable, or be such a wonderful horrible movie that I'll die laughing....... I'm almost too scared to find out...

Oh man.. Goku is 4 inches shorter then what he is ment to me..

You scoff, but there's only so much deviation from Canon one can stand before it becomes ridiculous.

If they stuck to canon it would be like Advent Children, only fans of game know what is going on so they exclude a lot of people thus loosing money.

From what I've read I know its almost nothing like the tv show so im not gonna go watch it expecting a movie that hugs the original idea, im gonna go in expecting a martial arts movie (yay) loosly based on the DB world

Thats fine and all... but would it have been so hard to paint piccolo green, rather then white? Just that one flaw would make it at least half as bad as it is at the moment.

 

[broadband]

one of the most hateful things is that they try maka a more ``realistic´´ adaptation of a cartoony show with, big eyed innocent-stupid characters, talking humanoid animals and a fantasy world with technollogy, eliminating any color or exagerated element of the sourche, add some american clichés, leaving nothing but some names, (Roshi is not even bald, it would be tooq dificult to the actor to shave his head?, o wear sunglases at least?)

 

[insertusernamehere2]

I seriously cannot fathom a single way they can condense over seven hundred or so episodes into possibly three differeny trilogies.

DBZ:
First Movie - Raditz, Nappa, Vegeta, Ginyu Force, Frieza's Henchman, Frieza
Second Movie - Future Trunks killing Frieza, Androids, Cell Games
Third Movie - Buu

On second thought it could work on a cheesy Mortal Kombat Annihalation level.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo! But you're right, they'll try and cram so much into each film and it will be overly rushed, diluted donkey balls! i.e. ANY comic book converted to live action film

*chants* flop flop flop flop flop!

*Joins chant* flop,flop,flop.flop!

Did Advent Children really do that badly because I'm one of the only one of my friends that is sad enough to know 100% what's going on? (yet most own a copy themselves) I think not. Keeping it canon entertained whilst leaving people wondering, which STILL got some people to check out the original game after a friend (etc.) showed them AC.

Not to mention the bastard children spin-offs that appeared after AC. I'm sure a few new fans checked some of those out too. They maybe even looked further into the FF world.

As you may have sensed, I feel Square have pushed it a little too far now with the FF7 steam-roller. I guess nobody is perfect.

This looks like someone made an original(ish) Martial arts movie but couldn't get funding, so he just changed name around and pitched it as DB.

Sorry I should of worded that better. What I ment was - when making a movie based off a manga, tv show or game then you either change things to make the masses understand it OR keep it as it is and exclude people. AC went for a fan movie, as a result, anyone who hasnt played the game doesnt know whats going on. This dragonball movie is going with a bigger budget and is trying to appeal to more people thus earn more money =D

honestly, there's no way it could be good. Dragon Ball itself isn't good. Just Dragon Ball itself is 153 episodes, and about 5 movies, so squeezing it all in to a live action movie would be impossible.

I'm concerned about almost everything in it I see. Master Roshi isn't some zen master. He's a crazy old pervert who happens to be the most powerful martial artist on earth. Heck, for the first 4 episodes of the second saga in Dragonball, Roshi just is constantly asking Krillin and Son Goku to get him a date before he'll train them. Piccollo doesn't even really come into play until the last few sagas of the series.

The only thing that the dragon ball series has going for it in an american atmosphere is it's charm (and it does have a healthy dose of that.) The movie will probably really really suck, but I'll watch it anyway.

I just wonder if Goku will run around smacking people in their privates to see if they're a girl or a boy. That'd be hilarious.
