Dragonball Poster

Does anyone else think this is a horrible horrible idea?

I saw some screen caps a few weeks back. It truly is incredibly horrible. Like words cannot describe how horrible it is. Like, a person who has never before seen Dragon Ball in its original form will say "wow, this is horrible, whats the original like?"

By the by though, No 18 is HOT stuff in the movie. No 17 looks kinda emo though.

Pure CRAP. Hope this film dies a horrible death.

y is the poster have a text saying "heart attack" whatever it is gonna be like its gonna go down bad

Heart Attack indeed. Just got one ^^

I just want to be able to scream "It's over 9000!!!" sometime during the movie. ><

LOL I'm seeing this just for a good laugh. If it's good it will be the surprise of a life time XD.

That date can't be coincidental...

This gonna be probably the worst movie ever made since the beginning of the humanity. Chow yun fat completely lost his mind !! Why he appear in this movie, he probably really really need money.

Erm.. this poster will really gives u a heart attack.. & look at the date... wonder what the rating will be like.

Well, the lower our expectations are, the more satisfying it will be IF the movie manages to pull off a decent move :D

i saw like, another poster of this, and the main character looked like the main vocal singer in green day...ㅡㅡ;

No. Just no.

If i know where the original datas are( the films or maybe on a harddisk) I will sure go steal it and put into a rocket and launch it directly to the Sun

hmm~

Or maybe I sould go out now and seek for the dragonballs and then make a wish that this movie will not be show!

Think we all agree that this movie is a horrible idea, when I first heard about it being live action, first thing I thought about was giant gold colored foam wigs. But there is something good about this movie. It will be forever the standard that another Dragon Ball or Dragon Ball Z cannot be any worse then this. Personally I think it should be pure CG, like Final Fantasy Advent Children.

Considering that the plot so far(Goku in school? come on Holywood ;_;) seem to have been written by a 3yr old (no offense for 3yr olds), i would say that a change of name would be better for the movie since the only Dragonball in the movie seems to be the name and the balls themselves.

I wasn't planning to watch this movie. I just don't like anime being turned into a live-action movie. There is something wrong in that idea x_x

What the hell is that!

I heard they were animating the Saiyan Saga. So does this mean that 1 hour into the show and Vegeta and Nappa arrives. Then the remaining 90mins would be "ITS OVER 9000!!" looped?

What's with the baggy pants? O_o;

alot of comics are being turned into films recently and its following the trend, its good for hollywood studios to rank in some $$$ on any idea they can think of.

i have 0 expectation for this movie.

darn. the watermark says my reaction only too well

*heart attack*

i will watch this if they reenact bulma bathroom scene.
if not, count me out.

I'm fine with it, actually that looks pretty sweet! My first reaction was HELLZ YA!
I think of it this way. What else were you expecting it to be or look like? Would you prefer a ultra americanized version of dragon ball, or them generally trying to stay as true as possible to the original concept. I'm sorry, but It's hard for me to imagine a 6 year old child actor running around knocking cars down and giving a good performance. We will see what happens, I'm not bashing it till I see it.

Quit your whining. You all are going to watch it one way or another be it theaters, dvd, downloaded. I'm going to watch it regardless so i can actually have the right to complain how bad it is. Doing it for the lulz.

Wow, such negative comments and 1 positive-neutral comment. Honestly I can't wait to see how they pull this off with the advancement of video technology and visual effects. I thought the story of the recent Transformers movie was hands-down lame ass bullcrap. I enjoyed it still non-the-less because of the visuals and the toys that came out. Why is it that when an anime is ported to real-life movies the reactions of the majority of the anime fans are negative and only a handful support the idea. I'm not blaming anyone if they didn't pull it off, it could be bad acting, bad director, low budget so on and so on. But still it is amusing to see that such an old relic be revived with a 2nd live-action movie be revived when the interest isn't there already. This could pave the way for anime being converted into movies in the future. If anyone recalls NANA...the second movie was crap but the first one was good. So I don't see the reason why people would actually thrash this movie. I grew up with DB - DBZ - DBGT, it'd be nice to see what they did with such a classic anime.

Id rather get Resident Evil 5 on that Day & play it the whole day
once again i REJECT i REJECT!!!!
this is Soo Gay!!!

I completely cracked up seeing that poster. I don't think Dragonball would make a very good movie...Can't believed I bothered watching Dragonball Z on CheezeTV(morning tv show showing cartoons) when I was in Primary School. I still remember watching the Spiritbomb episodes. RELEASE THE DAMN BOMB! AND GTFO FREIZA.
I think i'll just watch the movie for laughs =o

this is a disgrace.

oh my god...DGB fans gonna kill the director..
I saw the list of actor in the DGBZ Movie but ONE WORD..90% not suit the character..

I really think this movie gonna be laugh-out riot. I'm going to see it at least once ^^;

CRAP............

Wait, it wasn't an April fools joke?

Wow!! I can see from the posts that alot of people hate this idea and the manga/anime/comic turn to live action movie thing. Personnally I don't have any expectations but I think the costume on the poster is kinda nice. They kept the turtle symbol!!I never get tired of seeing all this trashing about Dragonball in general. I really like that universe and what Akira Toriyama did with the manga. Most people around where I live just don't know about it or totally hate it. So my guess is that since so many people hated it already I don't think this movie is gonna be appreciate it. I grew up with the old Dragonball anime and manga in the late 80's and 90's so it'll be nostalgic to hear those character names on-screen since... long time ago. I would've liked it more if the cast and crew was Nihon-jins but... gotta deal with it. Wow, that's a long post for nothing!! Peace girls and boys...

*raises hand* I'm gonna see it.

Hey guys, guess what? March 13th 2009 is a Friday too. Can things get any worse than that?

will watch to see first hand how bad it will be.

nope! definitely NOT on my watch list (that is if i have one)

I'll see it for a laugh. I'm unhappy about how it's already expected to make the series look bad though.

This movie is going to be a joke, its too difficult to translate dragon ball into a live action film. i wonder how much their production budget is.

avoiding this movie like the plague. my life is too short to waste on a live-action Western adaptation of an old manga that interested me when i was like nine(?). Moving on...

Horribly horrible idea. With horribly horrible western actors playing the roles..... As cute as Emmy Rossum is, she is not Chi!!! Or Bulma or whoever she's playing!!!) Least they're getting asian actors for Tekken.....

i am gonna be sending OVER 9000!!! hate mails to the persons who thought of making this

i sense... fail

My childhood down the drain...

just by looking at the pic made me want to cry....>.>

dragon ball will now and for ever be in its full glory in anime standards no amount of movie CG or acting will change that... its like the hong kong ver. of the movie all over again

LOL i can see "Heart Attack" in the middle of the poster, dunno if it's intentional though... Maybe the person is trying to warn people the movie is so sucky it can kill?

hollywood should be careful in making film adaption of our favourite anime/manga characters, if done incorrectly, it can destroy people's childhood. like recently speed racer.

Seen better DB cosplay than this.

His hair is WHACK.
I can pull off the DBZ hair better!

xD
Like some, I'll watch it just for the lulz.

Oh wow, guess we'll wait and see what happens...

Holy Crap. Don't watch it as a way to punish those investors and producers of this piece of shit. Make them lose lots of money. I don't care how you are going to change the plot from the original, but Goku definitely needed to be an asian guy. Like can we use an asian guy to portray King Arthur or Robin Hood, the answer is NO, right. This movie is going to be a joke.

A movie released in March is never a good sign around N. America... it means there aren't enough confidence for the movie to do well in Summer amongst the other blockbusters. Plus there aren't a lot of people who go see movies in March, even if it is Spring Break.

this would be cool. as long as they would be able to duplicate the massive power used on the anime and put it in the movie. this will be something to look forward too. im a big fan of dragonball

This is going to be an amazing movie. Not in the sense that it is going to be "good", but it's going to be more of a "fun" movie, since you'll get to be with your friends saying "HAHHAH THIS IS SO INACCURATE" or something while some kid's mom shushes you.

This film should be fun, I'm not exactly a fan of DBZ (find it a bit childish tbh) so I have just the level of interest to just enjoy this film and not think about how faithful it is to the show or not.

I'll wait and see.

I'm going to WATCH IT!!!!!!
then BUUUUUUUU that company for lame MOVIE!!!!
....Cuz next year I'm free for half year after SPM and Friday + 13th..bad day for the western right?

it appears the US will do worse to the whole Dragon Ball series than it did back in 1997 when the series first came here. With the cartoon they decided to make it all cuddly and stupid so little kiddies could enjoy it... this movie might not be any better than that ~_~

let's just pray it turns out at least half-decent..... oh who am I kidding?? =p

the DBZ movie is gunna be the biggest load of SUCK in history (enough said?)

i might watch this just to laugh :) or ruin it for everyone by saying the storyline :) well thats if they stick to the rightful storyline is it me or is his ball glowing ? ;-) lol i thought his ball didnt glow ;)

lame

I can only envision ill omens for this movie.

E^D

he doesn't look very Asian...

My friend: Here, I found some screenshots from an upcoming movie. I want you to guess which one it is.
Me: Uhhhmmm... "Back To The Future 2"? (because it was the one with Marty's girlfriend in it, right?)
My friend: No, I said 'upcoming'.
Me: "Back To The Future 2: the Remake"?
My friend: Sorry. No. DragonBall Z.
Me: Ohhhhhhh. Dragonball <i>ZEE</i>. No Christopher Lloyd then?

Movie going to be awesome, you all are losers.
PS XD

This won't end well...

ROFL... Heart Attack.
I'm still have mixed feelings about it, more towards thinking this will be very bad than good... but I have to be thankful for it, because it is the most read post on my blog:
http://xspblog.com/2008/05/23/dragonball-the-movie/

And thanks Danny for the poster.. I'm adding it to my... erm... post.

Dont do it plz

craptastic!

I'm definitely seeing it. And with very low (disappointing?) expectations I might add. heheh!

This poster is so kitch and "has been" 3<

love dbz

I seriously have my doubts about the quality of this movie.

I heard tekken and fatal frame we being lives along with cow boy bebop

Just imagine it as a cosplay movie and that being a little decent cosplay.

Has anyone noticed that the movie is being supported by Fox?(check right bottom hand corner) this is just the thing DB doesn't need, I mean srsly leave well enough alone and go buy the characters some laxitives.

Ok, so they managed to make DBALL, NGE better not end up like this XD

On the side note the hair don't look too bad from that angle
