Silearth 6 Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Dragonball Evolution...... click Not too much to say, except that they seem to have ruined it. Link to comment
Katran 0 Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I am not a Dragon Ball fan but a friend of mine is and he has been talking about this up coming movie for more then a year! Link to comment

Silearth 6 Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 I guess it takes a certain type of person to be into DB. I hated it when I first saw it, but it eventually grew on me. Link to comment
Flooxim 49 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I read most of the mangas several years ago, and thought it was cool and fun. But, when I saw the trailer, I told myself : "What have they done?" and "Mmmm...Not sure if that will be good" I'll wait and see... Max Link to comment

Max Exactly! What have they done?!? Perhaps I was missing something having seen the cartoon network versions of DBZ and DB but everyone seemed just wrong. Link to comment
Timotheus 416 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 OK. Ruined is an understatement. Link to comment
Silearth 6 Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 OK. Ruined is an understatement. Lol. It's Double Dragon over again. Link to comment
Silearth 6 Posted March 24, 2009 Author Share Posted March 24, 2009 Hmmm.... Perhaps it's the low blood sugar talking, but I've been seeing the trailers on TV and I think I may like this one..... Link to comment
Scleameth 19 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 (edited) Well, I'm a huge DB fan and I've been waiting for the live movie for more than 3 years now.... So I guess it's gonna be a 50-50 of good vs bad. Early speculation had the first movie featuring Goku and Piccolo fighting it out before Vegita and Nappa (acted by Goldberg - perfect match!) arrives, but hey, let's hope they still feature! Here is an earlier page from IGN : Piccolo Picked ... and a Piccolo render : But I'd really like this movie to reach some sort of success so that sequels can be done and we can get to the later DBZ era with Frieza, Cell and Majin Buu - those are the guys who really need the good special effects! These guys blow up most of the earth ! And Frieza blows up the Saiyan home planet !! But Justin Chatwin = Goku Gym work seriously required... A lot of talk also surrounded the hair... yup, how you gonna get that crazy hair done just right ? But also features of Broly the legendary Super saiyan and King Cooler could be great additions! I'm getting all excited again here... and then we still have DB GT !! mmmmm... super saiyan level 4.... PS. Sillearth, you are the one that was on the lookout for a good fighting game ? If you have a PS2 - here is the ultimate fighting game : Dragon Ball Z : Budokai 3 (anyone really) - The first game(s) I played with really awesome counter attacks - and if you counter successfully, you get a little video animation in between all the action - giving players that little opportunity to exchanges glances of satisfaction vs hatred... And I like the long duration of fights - in Tekken (also one of my favorate ever fighting games) a successful power punch/kick can virtually cause in instant KO, but in this game not so easy. But in no other game have I ever been able to punch my opponent right through a mountain !! Well, I'm going off topic here quite a bit... But methinks I'm gonna be spending the night manufacturing a DBZ sig in honour of this movie bringing back all those good old memories ! Edited March 24, 2009 by Scleameth Link to comment
Kanafire 0 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I've been a HUGE fan of the DB, DBZ, and DBGT....This movie is almost bound to be a miserable failure in my opinion. The actor who plays Goku, it to small and squirrely looking, Piccolo is alright though..... Sorry had to put my opinion in there Link to comment

The actor who plays Goku, it to small and squirrely looking, Piccolo is alright though..... Sorry had to put my opinion in there Like I said, it was the low blood sugar talking. But you know.......perhaps if you take it for what it is and forget it being DBZ. I mean, no matter how much it sucks it won't suck as bad as double dragon did, right? Link to comment
Kanafire 0 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Honestly I never saw double dragon lol, but I'll take you're word on it though Link to comment
Arafinwe 0 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Honestly I never saw double dragon lol, but I'll take you're word on it though Then you really did not miss anything. Double Dragon (1994) Link to comment
Scleameth 19 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Honestly I never saw double dragon lol, but I'll take you're word on it though Then you really did not miss anything. Double Dragon (1994) ...and by the looks of it, I'm continuing missing nothing But by the sounds of it, there is already a squeal planned for DBE - let's see what's in stall. I'm just worried that it might take 'them' another 5 years to complete the sequel, but hey, perhaps dear old run-around-in-the-shower Justin Chatwin gained some muscle by that time? Link to comment
myles 2 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I WILL NOT see it, I can't afford to ruin the DBZ that I have known. What are they thinking?... Don't touch an original if you cannot be sure that you can raise above it, as the saying goes. Link to comment
Flooxim 49 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Well, I just saw it today with my GF, and we both thought it was....good. The story is not explained completely, and some characters are not looking as I expected. Overall, it was good. Lots of action and cool special effects. Max P.S. There should be one or more sequels to this movie. Link to comment
Scleameth 19 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 (edited) One of my friends saw it this weekend, and also said it's a 'good enough' movie, but it's not close enough to the animation and so DBZ fans will be disappointed. Edit: was thinking about waiting for DVD release, but can I wait that long for one of my most anticipated movies of late? Edited April 14, 2009 by Scleameth Link to comment
Silearth 6 Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 I just watched it today, on 'on demand'. Everything seemed rushed from the start. "Come on guys, we have a lot of story to tell and only so much time to do it!" The action was okay, but their choice for Master Roshi....sigh. I have to call this one a waste of money.
