Title: DragonBall Evolution Post by: B.J. on March 03, 2009, 11:53:24 pm What are your opinions on the upcoming live-action DB movie? Does it look like it's going to be any good?

YOU. FOX. Title: Re: DragonBall Evolution Post by: Gabya on March 04, 2009, 03:11:47 am my thoughts so far... Why take one of the most overused words in movie titles and use it in the title? its not like the movie is gonna be better because of it or anything...
Title: Re: DragonBall Evolution Post by: Crow on March 04, 2009, 03:37:04 am I couldn't stand the original DBZ, so there is no way in hell I could ever stomach something like this.

I'll use whatever damn language I want. Dragonball is one of the few mangas/animes I like, and the direction they've taken pisses me off to no end. >:(What I don't understand is that last year The Dark Knight, Ironman and The Hulk showed that it is possible to make a successful comic book movie whilst keeping true to its roots. Why couldn't they have done that with this? Dragonball is a very simple story to follow, without these rediculous changes being made to cater to "a wider audience". Goku being an unpopular loser in school, then coming forward and saving the day, whilst getting the popular girl? Yes, that's never happened before. ::) Green demons, flying martial artists, and people shooting fireballs all over the place, but no blue hair for Bulma because it's "too unrealistic"? Completely changing characters personalities, looks and roles, and leaving out very important characters to the story? If Akira Toriyama had been kept as a producer, then there may have been hope for it, but I guess Fox doesn't even have any respect for the actual creator of aone of the most popular manga/anime series of all time. I utterly refuse to see this, as it is going to suck big time. Title: Re: DragonBall Evolution Post by: Mechadon on March 04, 2009, 10:22:43 am Yep. Totally gonna suck. The only way I'll go see it is in a cheap theater with some friends, so we can make fun of it later.
Title: Re: DragonBall Evolution Post by: sjonnoh on March 04, 2009, 03:24:28 pm a movie from dbz were they are real is just..... lame

Title: Re: DragonBall Evolution Post by: Romero Anchovy on March 05, 2009, 02:02:49 am Fox is 4Kidsing what could have possibly been a good movie. I felt like Hitler did in that video when i found out that they where going to put Goku in High School. Don't get me wrong I like Goku, but i don't think he would fit in HS. THIS ISN'T HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL! What's next a sequal with the Jonas Brothers?

Imagine them casting Android 18 as a stereotype blonde? *shudder* Title: Re: DragonBall Evolution Post by: Methid Man on May 08, 2009, 07:52:21 pm I saw the trailer for this, and it bore absolutely NO resemblance whatsoever to the original anime. Therefore it automatically sucks rhinoceros ass and Fox can go lick the sh!t off it.
And Helios can swear all he wants, I'll allow it. ["omg its methid wtf"] -- Sam the Methid Man Title: Re: DragonBall Evolution Post by: Crow on May 08, 2009, 09:14:08 pm Off Topic section = Fuck yeah!
SPC Section and such = Oh yeah! There's a difference people. :) ~Burkey Title: Re: DragonBall Evolution Post by: B.J. on May 09, 2009, 01:00:02 am You guys sound like the Angry Video Game Nerd, lol. Haven't checked out the movie at all. Oh well, might be gone. Recently, I read that they might consider doing two more sequels. 8O

Title: Re: DragonBall Evolution Post by: Gabya on June 30, 2009, 08:35:49 pm I just have to revive this thread and show you people something.
Did you know that Evolution isn't the first live action Dragonball movie? There is another... I don't know if its better or worse. I mean, it stays true to the characters and all, but... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dz6b_E3aAEA Title: Re: DragonBall Evolution Post by: sjonnoh on July 01, 2009, 03:38:31 pm lol, funny song X3
Title: Re: DragonBall Evolution Post by: Gabya on July 01, 2009, 03:46:28 pm to be honest, i like the chinese one better than Evolution. its so good in its own retardedness.
but... the names were translated litterally! Goku's name is Monkeyboy ::) Title: Re: DragonBall Evolution Post by: sjonnoh on July 01, 2009, 05:10:21 pm if I'm not mistaken then gohan means lunch.....
Title: Re: DragonBall Evolution Post by: Helios on July 01, 2009, 09:56:32 pm if I'm not mistaken then gohan means lunch..... Yes, that's true. Most of the Dragonball series characters have names that are takes on something. For example, all the Saiyans are named after some sort of vegetable.On-topic: I still haven't seen it. It appears that I was correct in my original assessment. |
