Dragonball Trailer

he got bad breath?

epic FAIL!

Oh god. I'll never get that 1:50 of my life back =(

haha.... i hate to be the odd one out, but i seriously dont understand whats wrong with it.

Seriously? They had to change the story? Really? There wasn't enough story to begin with they had to make a new one? Wow, fail.

Oh Jesus! The old Chinese low budget movie did better than this! They put DragonBall to shame kid Gouko or old Gouko. EPIC FAIL doesn't do justice to describe this movie...

Wh-wh-wh-what was that? *sits in a corner*

the title of the movie fits perfectly...
dragonball did evolve as we can see ... -_-''

lol Justin Chatwin...as Goku. lol I still can't get over that...Chatwin as Goku. We live in a world where I'm not surprised it's gotten THIS far and that this will actually see a release. My condolences to Dragonball fans. This must be such a low moment for them. :(

My eyes are bleeding! Argh! X[

Kame...kame...ha~~~~

It's a modern theme Dragonball, try not to think aside with the anime/manga & see how it feel like.

I'll definitely watch this for the lulz~~~~~~

That was.....not right. -_-;

Gah, was coming to DC to post about this... XD
Well, here's the link to my blog anyways:
http://xspblog.com/2008/12/10/dragonball-the-movie-trailer/

ULTIMATE FAILURE! I fail to see where the "Dragonball" is in the middle of that generic fail action trailer.

Looks just like some other crappy movie like The Medallion or Bulletproof Monk.

Ho shit I made an angel fail... But I really laugh !

Omg...Beside the 5 sec where he does KA ME HA ME HA....it sucks....i'll go watch it cus its dragon ball...But i really cant see this movie as good whne its like Mortal combat + tiger and dragon....

oh dear GOD, no!!

*cries*

This is not even close to what DBZ truly is... :3.

Fail!!! I wonder who have this idea

DAMN!!! DESPITE THE WARNING!! I was stupid and clicked the trailer and watched it, if the disappoint wasn't enough.

An Angel fell through my roof and slapped me in the face.

Seven mystics created the dragon balls ???? what happened to Dende?
I think you should see this as very loosely based on a manga from Akira Toriyama.
But it looks like some nice (american) action.

But at least there's one thing cool about the movie, Ayumi Hamasaki is doing the theme song (worldwide in japanese!).

I'm going to cry. But, I could watch this just for the lulz.

Looks horrble. =(

See everyone is looking at this totally wrong.

Take Dragon Ball (the memory of it you have in your head) and completely throw that away. Just get rid of it.

Now go see this movie, and laugh your ass off. Because this will be pure comedy. They must have been going for the comedy angle. That's the only reason something like this would ever get made.

I know. Looks like it might suck. Anyone remember this news posting?

##http://www.dannychoo.com/detail/mac/eng/image/10058/Not+DBZ.html##

Wow, that looks terrible.

i'm still gonna watch it. thankfully my expectations for a live action dbz movie were never that high.

...i swear that when i clicked the video it sounded like something crashed outside my window.

I have mixed emotions with this trailer. First felt like crying: "How can they even name it DB?!"
Then I thought how stupid this is: dragonballs have individually magic powers, the "capsule" transformed lol
DBZ fans will hate it but I'm afraid that others could think "wow, what a great Hollywood movie!"... nah, it will fail.

I heard the movie is gonna be 6 hours long, and 5 of those hours is Goku charging a Kamehameha. I can't wait until it comes out, so I can be somewhere else laughing about its release.

Personally, I think I would have enjoyed this if I didn't know what Dragonball was all about (I've got an odd taste in movies). I'll probably see it just for the heck of it.

Well what can you expect. Hardcore fans always yell out in anger everytime anything deviates from the original.

AARGH! MY EYES!

This doesn't look like dragonball at all.

FAIL FAIL FAIL.

Piccolo is a friggin vampire? THE HECK? Bulma has GUNS? Ugh GG. Hollywood, you killed Dragonball.

And what with Dragonball: Evolution..

>_<

Well, at least they got the flashy special effects down.

Farewell, angel. I'm sorry you had to die to satisfy my curiousity.

it still doesnt convince me... idk.. ill still watch it but..i think it fail >.>;

i thought that the movie was a joke, like it wasn't actually being made... but if i'm wrong and this is the real thing... wow *facepalms

Everything in the trailer seemed meh to ok up until the point he was doing the kamehameha; it just made me cringe. I still don't know if I want to see it or not.

I think the movie would actually be worse if they tried to translate everything that was in the original story into live action. Imagine watching the actors being thrown around smashing through buildings, conjuring up fireballs, squatting and crying out as they power up... Don't think it would work so well.

Anyway, I say just watch this as a complete separate piece of work.

They could have just done a totally different movie

and NOT name it DragonBall.

Saves them the rage of all DBZ fans worldwide.

Honestly, it was such a generic American action movie it could have been ANY other movie...

Why screw up every little detail of an epic anime into something so generic?

OHHHHH MYYYY GODDDDD

what a piece of ****

this is going to be the worth movie created on earth

i never thought that one day, some idiot could make a movie much worth than Mortal Kombat

holy c**p, this is a real insult for Dragon Ball and for all the fans all around the world

how could Akira Toriyama allow this ???????

ok now we need to get things straight here and yes im going to defend this movie. First off Hollywood didnt steal it akira toriyama and steven chow have been in talks for a while becuase "AKIRA" wanted this to happen. NOT hollywood, it just so happens fox jumped on it first. Second Fox jumped on it first and they where the only ones becuase its DRAGON BALL darn it. How do you make dragon ball a movie, you cant but you sure as heck can do your best at making it!!! Now then for the rest of you haters, before ou go making remarks about a movie you havent seen yet think about this dragon ball sucked story wise since it started the same plot is used ove3r and over again and nothing changes. It was a joke comic in the sunday jump magazine and thats what it was ment to be just like ninja turtles from heavy metal it just got freaken popular for its ecchi humor and fight scenes. And to make matters worse those didnt even get to america no we got DBZ so we didnt even know about the rest for a while. This is dragonball not dbz, The fight scenes have to be crazy and cged cause again its dragonball. Stop freaken hatting and watch the movie if you call your self an otaku then be one this trailer looks better than someof the DBZ videogames out there so that proves enough that this could be good.

I'm giving this the treatment my roommate gave to Twilight: torrent, laugh my ass off, then delete.

lol it looked okay I'll watch it cause i watched pretty much everything Dragonball and this looks like a modernized DBZ they should have used martial arts actors like Jet lee and Jackie Chan since it is a martial arts thing just extremely exaggerated lets hope Piccolo is not lame according to past Youtube videos hes played by James Marsters known for his roles in "Buffy the vampire slayer" as Spike and the run off of the Buffy series "Angel" as Spike! well I'm just gonna hope this movie does not suck.

as said.. every fan of anything that gets remade or transfered to another medium gets upset when plotline a is not right, or character b isn't how i pictured him.. i'm sure a number of harry potter fans are upset at the movies for slash and burning the books for what they want...

but, atleast harry potter follows the books... i hate movies, or even series "cough, toloveru" that deviate from there source material in a epic way...

me.. i'll watch it... probably laugh since i am a DB fan.. but just might enjoy it cuz i don't have any predispositions on what i'm about to see.. good or bad.. and i judge on what i'm presented with... doesn't mean that i'm not upset when i don't see something in a movie that should be there ( xmen 3... Phoenix is a firebird not a zoombie!... you idiots!)

so in the end.. love it hate it... its there.. watch it... and laugh... histerically... or not.. and just pray that somebody comes along and does a faithfull remake of it "cough, starship troopers, cough, stop making crap sequals so someone can make a faithfull remake closer to the book!. cough"

he he

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH OH MY GOD!!!! MY EYEEES, I'M BLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIND!!!

Me right now - (X_X)

I won't waste bandwidth on that one. haha. I have a question. Which will be worse? The Chunli movie or this?

...well...I prettymuch expected a generic Hollywood totally-not-DB production. But seriously...I think that instead of raving like I could, I will just say the best thing to say is, that they shouldn't have named it Dragon Ball because it DOES NOT follow ANY of the ideas/plots/themes/characters/styles/ or anything but the idea of energy attacks. Everything that they tried to do that was supposed to be "like" DB, was crap. However I should admit alot of the effects are nice. It really should just be another movie, replace the character names, name of movie, and it would be better. Because this is so far from any idea of the original classic, but expected from Hollywood. ~_~ Nothing can ever be made how you wish it would.

-HK

I honestly dont know how they arent following the plot its pretty much dragon ball piccolo comes back tries to mess crap up goku and friends come and slap him in the face for being a naughty green yoshii. Nough said on that dragon ball had no plot kill bad guys with un real attacks go home, do it again in 25 episodes oh yea and monolouge for 5 episodes to save time to come up with more plot. I mean its like bolt said its there watch it i mean seriously how many of us grew up on DB. It was our childhood dream to see this on the big screen and now we are "all grown up" and think that by this movie being made is a disgrace to .....what...thats right nothing its being made to please us because we used to love it.

My childhood dreams shattered after seeing this... and that's because I'm really into DB - the manga mind u.

Ohh I want to go see this when it comes out.. will bring back old childhood memories. ^^

wow this trailer is horrible. This movie is horrible, If you cannot see why this movie is horrible, you are a horrible critic.

Looks better than all I've seen and heard beforehand. But will still be poo of epic proportions. Thought doth my eyes decieveth me? Have they made Piccolo green after all the panic of him being white?? lol

And Danny-san!! You didn't see all of Indiana 4???? Twas not boring by any means!! Ending was a bit stupid. But Shia and Indie rock! lol. I thought it revived *some* of the Indiana spirit anyhow.

this looks like a "shot behind blue screen" sort of film.. Hmm... but i hope they still leave the comedy factor alive, and not kill it totally..

What. The. Hell.

Dragonball Devolution indeed.

I mean, I'm not even a fan of the original series, and that trailer still made me cringe.

I was half-hoping that they'd surprise us and actually make something that looked like quality, but what IS that. It's certainly not Dragonball.

This goes beyond being based on an anime, it's taking the worst generic martial arts script and slapping a famous franchise name on it because it sure as hell won't sell by itself.

Trailers are supposed to catch our attention and give us a slice of how a movie will be. Regardless of this being Dragon Ball by name, it's pretty lame.

And Roshi is not an baldy grandpa with a turtle shell on his back?? that's it me won't watch.

LOLLLLLLL. Oh man. Chow Yun Fat....whyyyy ;_;

I'll watch it for the lulz, definitely.

Wow, where do I even begin? The special effects don't look half bad. I think most people are complaining about the plot/story. Its definetely for an American audience, maybe this is why I don't watch TV anymore :

They really should have had at least one full moon transformation into a giant monkey (some people say ape but I say its a monkey only because they have a tail), lol. Too much martial arts, we all know that any martial arts was totally lost after the first episode. Well, at least it doesn't have Brolly or Garlic Jr. in it...

I am not sure who this film is targeted toward.

It is bound to upset fans, and it is too ridiculous for neophytes: a box-office bomb in the making

They're releasing it on Friday the 13th. I expect bad luck for this movie.

And c'mon, I could do a better Kamehameha than that!

Comparison = fail.
It's just don't work. It's better off in the anime.
I remember the 'Journey to the center of the Earth' movie. It's was weird, like, how can someone call a cellphone where the receiver is in the core of the earth?? *.*

Was not a fan of the original, so won't waste my time and money with this crap.

what's with the "Evolution" in the title?

anyway as bad as the movie seems, people will still go see it. why? simple, one has to see the movie in order to criticise it. ^^;

The special effect is good, though I won't watch this as dragonball. Just consider it a new movie with dragonball chara as copycat :P

btw, who's roshi?

i literally shivered when i watching the trailer... DB is ruined... T.T

imho its horrible. an epic fail.

Passing this one big time...

It looks really bad... But honestly, I might end up watching it anyway.

I actually don't think it looks half bad. o_O
I even watched the anime, as much as I didn't really like it.

Why did Bulma turn into Lara Croft?

>.>

I won't be watching this in order to preserve the beauty of the series known as Dragon Ball

how the heck did Toriyama-san approve of this contraption!? guaranteed epic fail!!!

Uber crap. Power level for this movie just went 9000.... in the opposite direction.

The producers, directors, etc should be put to the sword immediately for desecrating the good name of Akira Toriyama's classic. Profiteering by making a lousy generic action movie and merely slapping on the name Dragonball 'Evolution' to ensure sales is just low. Bah!

Might watch it- but only, and ONLY if I get a free ticket. And every time this Chatwin guy goes Kamehameha or his hair turns gold, I'll laugh out loud:) (altough I suspect everyone else would too. Who doesn't know dragonball?)

Evolutionary FAIL.

I'll only watch this if I don't have to spend money watching it. And if I do watch it, I won't be focused in watching it at all. If I get a free ticket in theatres, I'll be playing Dragonball Origins on my DS while the movie is going on.

looks like something the Sci-fi channel would make. XD hooray for Hollywood!

Wow... Looks like crap.
Oh and I thought the last Indiana Jones movie was good!

This movie looks like it'll win a few Oscars

Wow I'm boycotting this film since I used to be such a big DB and DBZ fan, this movie just completely screws over the entire DB universe and twists Toriyama-sensei's creation into some disgusting, poorly cast Hollywood failure.

Oh god what did they do to poor Dragonball? :'(

So bad it's good!
I'd watch it in theatres but they'd probably kick me out for laughing so hard.
Dragonball has "evolved" into a comedy.

(sarcasm)

WTH?! Forget the movie, I couldn't finish the trailer. How could they do this?

Oh crap this is so so....BAD
Since when is Bulma a gun fighting maniac and Roshi so wise and...normal, seriously this will be the biggest fail in history

why they have to give bulma guns

I'm more intrigued on how many people really, REALLY, hate it already! LOL

looks...hmmm.....eh? lol
At least Emmy Rossum (I think that's her name) as Bulma is a hottie lol

it's a 'fail' evolution. rather than changing the whole story, it's better to change the movie title.

maybe I'll just watch the movie for a good laugh -_- well when it comes out on dvd, so I can rent it.

Funny how people immediately look down at this as if they are Dragon Ball experts.

Because Dragon Ball itself started off as a story called "Dragon Boy" and was also based on a Drunken Master movie. During that time, Toriyama himself was prepared to finish up on Dr. Slump.

During the time the series was popular, the first live action movie was made. That movie makes this one look like an Academy Award winning movie. Yes, it was that bad.

Then we have the changes. Amazingly, I have to give it the reason of the doubt. Because it was made to be a martial arts action flick. Yes, the characters and story have changed and blah blah blah. Then again, I hear nobody complain about how they constantly change Final Fantasy or Mobile Suit Gundam.

In other words... Movies based on franchises like this DO NOT have to be based on the actual style. Because the anime was not the same compared to the manga, nor were the movies 100% tied into the anime series.

Then again... I can other movies based on comics and video games that were butchered. And even if they are considered to be in their own "canon" timeline, it felt like they did not even bother going with the feel those things created.

So... For the hell of it... I might see this and see if it was crap or not. :3

THAT'S NOT DRAGONBALL!

*cries* What have they done to everyone's favourite show..

bleh... they got it totally messed up....it looks as if bulma and goku are gonna get together for sum reason in the trailer... wheres all the other characters gone? o_O

Under Spill.com rating, I will go with a 'Rental'.
Its fun to watch just for kicks. I feel that this movie will be a flop in the Dragon Ball Franchise.

I would probably advise die hard Dragon Ball fans not to see it. Turn a blind a eye, pretend you never heard of it before.

Children, kids, they would be the ones who will be seeing the movie. Kids likes special effects and action flicks.

Ingredients to make a bad Dragonball movie:

Step 1; In a big bowl add the following:
- 1 x Dragonball concept
- 1 x dash of Disney flavor
- 10 x Bad actors
- 2 x hot girls
Step 2; Add a sprinkle of too much action, bad storyline, and a prayer.

Step 3; Throw it in the oven for a few months.

Step 4; Ding! its ready, Top it off with a bit of over marketed hype, and you got yourself the perfect way to throw out $15!

Cheers! d~~p

Man, I was expecting the figh scene just like in the Manga or anime. You know, destroying houses, exploding city, slice a mountain like a butter, shitload of light beam to throw and dodge.

I guess not... >.<

For some reason, I have this sudden urge to gouge my eyes out.

I gotta say that it looks like a decent movie, BUT definitely a horrible DB movie.
They should've changed the title to "Shaolin Dragon : Evolution" or something,
there's too much kung fu in this movie's trailer.
This reminds me of Hollywood's DOA, a movie where ninja fought like a kung fu master...

Well I must say that the first few seconds seemed a bit promising but then went downhill after that.

Which one is Chi-Chi in the film? Bulma looked cute. Everything else was out of place.

For the most part they made this film not just for American audiences but basically all Western audiences as movies with this much action often have to rely on world wide grossing to rake in money.

I doubt this movie will be a box office hit in the States and even internationally. Considering the budget spent seems to be over $100m they at best may make even.

Yeah, this movie isn't looking too good. I understand changing some of the story and etc., but they are going way overboard with it and making it more just a stereotypical action flick.

Fail. But I have to agree on.. "nice bike".

I'm gonna pretend this was never announced, or being released. I have seen so much bashing about this movie on YouTube that i cannot afford to get involved. I will remain neutral. But if Hollywood wants to make a movie then by all means they are free.....i will stick to traditional 2D animation.

In fact wheres my DBZ Brolly & Cooler movies? I wanna watch those again. Those are classic.

The change is too big. Goku: "I'm not ready for this" <-that's not his personality -_-
This is gonna fail as much as DoA movie (I mean, they even hold the swords incorrectly!)
oh well, at the very least the special effect is not bad. Let's just see how the fight goes (and the Kamehameha). Damn Goku's "I'm not ready for this" personality should have made him unable to shoot out his Kamehameha anytime soon -_-

not your usual Dragonball, it's called "Dragonball Evolution".

*claps hand for the Holywood*

Huh? Watching it? nothxbye.

Honestly, I do not have an opinion of this film. I've never been one to completely shun a film before seeing it. So, there's a good chance that I'll go and see it anyways.

Chow Yun Fat is one of my favorite Chinese actor, but I do not know why actor pick horrible screenplay that could possibly ruin their name. It did feel an angel that fell and cried from heaven

My goodness! There's a 6% vote on cool! I was hopping it would be 0%.

the only thing hot about that movie is the steam from the turd left from the premier...lol

If you watch it as a dragonball related film, it sux. But as a film itself, it still sux, just not as bad. Has pretty decent effects so far, but the plot looks like some Disney kid-mysteriously-chosen-to-fight-old-school-evildoers-and-goes-through-some-special-training-by-some-old-dude-that-used-to-be-great-meets-some-chick-that-kid-likes-along-the-way-and-beats-up-said-evildoer-to-save-said-chick film. Another generic film with different names. It sorta has a generic name too, "Evolution"...

Crying in tears, because this is destroying all the good memories I had of Dragon Ball when I was younger, even though I DO not watch DB as often as I did

Only possible saving grace the movie could possibly have is if some character in it says "It's over 9000!!!!!!!!!".

You think this is bad? wait for the action figures, and the cartoon based on the movie, and the comic, and the 360 game too, then the MMORPG then the action figures based on the MMORPG, by the time FOX is done with the franchise nobody is going to remember what Dragon Ball actually used to stand for. GT was a friking tribute compared to this movie.

I sense a box office flop next year.

I'm gonna watch this movie for the lulz... BTW it's out on Friday the 13th? Awesome, just awesome...

i hope that this movie not doing well doesnt ruin the chance of anime getting adapted. I mean look at what the batman begins series did for comic books, 300 and the other good ones. Your always gonna get some bumps along the way, but I really hope AKIRA does well and also the rumored Ghost In The Shell.

Sorry for double posting but I have to add, please don't for the sake of mankind dare to pay for this movie! If you really really really must absolutely watch it as a matter of life and death then if there was any time when torrenting a fox movie was ever justified this is definitively it. If for some God forbidden reason you fail to do even this then at least swallow up some pride and bitch loudly over and over until the movie theater refunds you of your money.

Well most anime adaption to real lif movie kinda fail one way or another though...

Well... most of them...

I'm sorry, but this made me very sad. Orochi as a young dude? Bulma with guns? At least she is pretty.

I never really got into DBZ, I guess I just preferred girls in sailor uniforms to bulky men beating each other up. So, that said, I don't really have an opinion toward this movie other than I'll watch it when I get around to it, but it's not on my must see or must avoid list.

I CRIED TEARS OF BLOOD, THEN I DIED A LITTLE.

So, it's being done by fox. The only reason i'd watch it is because it's being done by an american studio. Because japanese life action films make me want to gauge my eyes out. I'm a death note ADDICT but the minute i saw Ryuk rendered like a SEVERELY distorted pixar character i stopped the movie immediately. I sometimes wonder why such a technologically advanced country can't get animation right & learn to act. Enough hating on the jap film industry cuz i love everything else about japan! lol! But i guess this'd be an alright rental. Or maybe a free-watch on HBO one day in the future. LOL

Pretty interesting...I like the VFX on it. Will watch it and enjoy the eye candy. :D

Hey, at least have some cool visual FX.

What the hell is up with all the guns, the unfolding car, the total modern "fashions", I think I saw the classic Goku outfit once? ...
Piccolo looks like a cross between Hellboy, some Lord of the Rings goblin, and something from StarTrek.
Biggest waste of a $100million+ budget I've ever seen.

haha despite all the negative fanfare surrounding this, i am kinda intrigued by FOX's interpretation of the franchise. they are obviously trying to carter to the mainstream audience here. and as much as i hate to say it, dragonball fanatics form a small portion to the market audience they are trying to attract, and that's just not gonna cut it for them. so it's understandable that FOX would take this route albeit a disappointing one.

PS: Transforming bikes reminds me of the original masked rider blue bike haha

Dagon ball sucks just like most shonen... did anyone think the movie would actually be any better?

bah maybe better than thailand dragonball adaptation along time ago!!!

"In ancient time, earth is nearly destroyed. Not by man but by God from above..."
So this Piccolo is supposed to be God or send by God?
I didn't know this manga has been teaching people that God is evil, all these years! LOL

stop raping the cartoon of my childhood !

I hope they're not planning on sequels...

OMG :| FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILLLL!!!!!!

I heard Kamehameha lol

3 words:
American "STREET FIGHTER"

worst
movie
ever

Yowsers! Didn't know this post would yield such a large number of comments. That's alot of fallen angels.

I think i'll watch this...and have the best laugh of my life

Hmm... An American rip-off of a Japanese manga/anime which in turn is a rip-off of a mythical Chinese legend... Interesting. Evolutionary indeed. Not a real fan of Dragonball but would still watch this for the entertainment factor. Would have prefered if they started the story with Goku's childhood...

It will be in the hall of shame...Like what the other game to movie trials end up...

This movie loooks... alright. Sorta...
Now, a person that never heard of DBZ would think so.
However, a person that seen DBZ many times would think not.
Amazing.

It just looks bad. And Piccolo reminds me of The Mask.

This is why I'm in favor of global warming. This whole recycling thing has gone too far. I've seen these backgrounds in Motral Kombat, Double Dragon, 3 Ninjas, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers... Put the set out of its misery and burn it.

This is even more terrible than I thought it would be. Т-Т
I hope it will be canceled >_>

epic failure movie

It looks nice. If you wipe your memory of it having to do anything with Dragon Ball.

I take offense at the "Evolution" subtitle. As if it turned into something better. Good Grief...

Fancy visuals do not a good movie make...

I would say there are somethings that look good in anime/manga form and things that do not. Dragonball would be one of them. The characters just look too out-of-the-world to be taken seriously in live-action form.

Eh, "May the force be with you..."

Okay, I admit, I voted "cool" because of the graphics.

Its terrible!!! i can't look straight forward and my mouth are full open...

I won't even watch it on DVD!

WTH is this thing ?
owowowow....i'm...speechless...
WTH is this thing ?
i'm still wonder, WTH is this thing?

nice bike- behold the power of capsule corp!
looks good, anyway if u want to watch this movie i suggest to brainwash your mind so we don't always compare this movie to manga
they just follow the main story and recreate the design of d characters, good idea i think
at least, they make it cool with nice effect

loooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

Totally watching that, if only for a huge laugh.

Isn't Stephen Chow one of the producers?

I'm a big Dragonball fan and this just isn't Dragonball. :( I hope it will do well so Stephen Chow will get his money back but personally I'd rather not watch it. Just like Indiana Jones 4, I'd rather keep my childhood memories intact.

though it just sucks totally at some aspects, meaning its just not right making it into a live action. I guess ill try to see it. at least bulma's kinda hot. hahaha

I can not understand why can't they just have some basic respect for the origin.
I mean I would agree that it's would be rather difficult to live-action dragon ball.

But look at it. It speaks *Beeping* Hollywood all over it.
I has none of the charm, none of the feel and none of the action.

I believe that it's not what they could do, but what THEY think is cool.
I think this is even worst then those Class B cult parody that people are willing to take a good laugh at on youtube. (not flaming youtube has nothing good!)

beside the special effect, I see nothing that could separate this from a very poorly made fans video.
If you ask me, I rather that they just make a cheap rip off where they don't use the name and the characters.

Can't Hollywood learn? Hasn't Godzilla taught them anything? I mean, don't just get on the bandwagon because all those DC and Marvel comic translation has done well. Manga is different, it has it's own style, it's own life.

Ok... I have to admit, if I had no clue what Dragonball was all about then this movie wouldn't look so much like poo, but it still looks like it's just made of special effects and no substance >.<; Would have been better to make it an original movie >.>;;

the trailer is not that bad if you don't know or watch dragonball Z. but really why can't the people from hollywood follow the original story. everything in this movie is wrong even piccolo is wrong...i just don't get it

For me, I can not acceptable dragonball Z becomming to this @_@/

As Rena would say: USO DA~!!!

I saw that someone was GREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!

Please do not hurt me...

I never cared for Dragon Ball Z. It was one of the few animes that I tried to like, but just never could. I have had no exposure to the manga, so maybe that is part of it. Based on this, I am rather indifferent about the movie. Some of the special effects looked good, others looked very over used in the trailer for me.

I shall be skipping the movie, not because it is a horrible corruption of Dragon Ball Z, but because it is supposed to be about DBZ.

To be honest, I'll actually watch it..
For the lulz..
Well, at least the effects are awesome!

Hmmm... well, i think it wont be even close if you want to compare it to the original story. But nowadays i judge the show by itself and not by the typical "compared to manga/novel" stuffs. And i might believe they doesnt really want this movie storyline to be based on the actual manga.

Ultimately even if the show sucks big time, i would applause for them if the visual effects, sound and the action tension is there.

Will be watching for the epic lulz!

What epic fail trailer is this!?! lol
But still it's not good to entirely criticize the movie because it's not released yet. Gonna wait for people's reaction after it is released for the lulz.

Wow. I thought "Dragonball" was at its lowest in "GT". I found a new low point. This. How people like Chow Yun-Fat can take this job is beyond me.

I thought "Dead or Alive's" movie was bad. This is worse. I am not the biggest "Dragonball" fan, but still. While I'm at it, I won't bother with "Tekken's" and "Soul's" (yes as in "Soul Edge" and "Soul Calibur") either. Thank goodness "VF" and "Battle Arena Toushinden" are sparred from the Hollywood curse.

Well......Bulma is hot though >_>

I haven't watched or read any of the original Dragonball stuff so, from my point of view, it still didn't interest me. If I watch it, I'll probably only rent it.

This looks like UFW to me. Unlimited Fail Works.

Jesus o.o

NO! NO! NO! I knew it is bad but this is BAD!

Yeah, been following the development and looks as a big fiasco as the super mario brothers movie. For any dragonball fans out there, DON'T WATCH THE TRAILER!!! you will lose all hope in humanity!

This is a movie that has same title with Dragon Ball the Japanese cartoon and anime.

At least if I look it that way, it is still watchable.

If you watch it with the real dragon ball in mind, you will be very disappointed like you did in Final Fantasy.

I THINK THE TITLE SHOULD BE: "DRAGONBALL - EPIC FAIL EVOLUTION"

just speechless..

I actually think it looks pretty cool!!! I really want to watch it!!! I looks like Stephen Chow's style.
I think it's way better to make it very different from the anime, cause it makes it original and I think if they had made a copy of the anime I would have never been good enough to people. The only complain is that piccolo looks like the mask...but well...that's unimportant haha

I've been following this and blogging about it for over a year now. If I never saw Dragon Ball; I'd think this looks pretty cool and I do like this new trailer...but I'm an otaku and a HUGE DBZ fan! For goodness sakes, my user name in everything on the internet is "princetrunks". This is not Dragon Ball at all!! This seems like a movie made by someone who just simply heard of the characters...that's it. I'm a Stephen Chow fan but this takes a cherished anime and spits on it. I wonder what Akira Toryama is thinking when he sees this.

It may not exactly be Dragonball, it'd be impossible to completely replicate the original and make everyone happy, but I still think it looks good. I'll be going to the theaters for this one! :3

Since I knew about the movie and the first attempts of the trailer that I hated the movie on Dragon Ball, so although not improve the verification for any reason, is murder to what is the story and the characters of Dragon Ball

Looks good to me. I make it a point TO NOT BASH A MOVIE UNTIL I GET TO WATCH IT or if I don't get to watch it, then until other people have reviewed it AFTER WATCHING IT. You'll never know if it actually turns out to be good and all that negativity comes back at you.

ouch. i died a little watching the trailer =(

but it has nice effects tho. oh well. i will give this a watch i guess.

evolution? so that's what they can come up with for a lousy excuse for such a movie.

i like the effects they really put no effort into character design...more of a comedy ^^i may watch it lol

poll says it all. I lol'd at bulma. doesn't even look close.

crappiest of the crap!
what a desecration~

As a DBZ film, it will be an abomination. But as a film on it's own merits it does look quite entertaining. Shame they had to ruin so many fans' childhood memories of the series, mine included.

*barf*
Anyone else feel a hint of deja vu? Another Forbidden Kingdom movie, massive idiocy and dorkness.

Shhh, can you hear something? Its the sound of otaku worldwide dying as they vomit their brains out while watching this trailer.

Man!
They changed the story!

Not good.

This is trash, I rather watch grass grow than watch this.

i think the effect is cool
i mean, what do tou expect from american movies?

but the story..... goku being a highschooler????
WT*

I'm not ready for this. Well, I guess this is how most of the manga or anime-adapted movie ends up when its produced by foreign film maker.

Ugh...what is this?! I'll probably still see it so I can complain later on but seriously...WT*??? Even the chinese one is better in comparison to this.

I will not spend my money and time to go to the cinema for this movie...I've already known it would be bad since they show who acted as Son Goku...I'll just wait for the DVD-rip from azzo...

Complete shit, looks so retarded.

I've heard but....but.....BUT....(ToT)

I grew gray hairs after watching the movie (X_x)

Skipped it.
