Dragonball: Evolution Trailer (More like Suckolution Failure)

[Fire!]

I recall the actor playing Chichi remembering how she watched the cartoon and how excited see was to be a part of the movie.

Wow.

She also said the liked the way the directing was making it how HE saw DB, not how it actually was.

 

[Vorguen]

This movie is really just going to be either a comedy from how ridiculously lame and cheesy it is, or just plain depressing and disappointing.

 

[trueganon]

Wow. I dont think Ive ever laughed so hard in my life. Whats up with the random **** of all facts of Dragonball. It should just be put down as copyright infringement on all the names. Human made Dragonballs, modern times, disturbing lack of dinasours, not DBZ but Goku is still old, Roshi has hair and no beard. This makes me want to go back in time and never watch Dragonball ever. That might be the only way to make me not feel so dirty when I think about this trailer.

If we're lucky it won't be as funny-bad as 10,000 B.C. but it will probably be worse.

 

[CodeBlack]

Annoyed, but not surprised. Lets just hope people don't associate Dragonball with the movie... I'd hate to say to someone that I like Dragonball and for people to list off things about the movie.

 

[SirroMinus1]

Please if there is a God let this movie be renamed.

 

[NinjaFoxX]

i never get tired of seeinig that picture

alsso, this movie is gonna suck

 

[Vorguen]

It's not going to suck. Suck is something around the lines of Batman & Robin (when placed next to the original batman and Dark Knight especially)...

Suck is along the lines of Link trying to recover back to the stage with a D-air happy Meta Knight.

I'll try to explain this as best as possible.

garbage > madcatz controllers > my bloody valentine > slavery > my chemical romance > the US economy > cancer > Satan > the dragonball movie

Or worse, you tell someone you like Dragonball, and the person you're speaking to responds with "Oh yeah, I love that movie too! Isn't Goku's car *****in'?"

 

[Vorguen]

I just realized what you said Circus, and I cried internally for 7 seconds.

This movie is making my life incomplete again.

 

[Crystallion]

They made it so bad on purpose. The more they screw up a series most people know or have heard about, the more people are ultimately going to see it, just to see how bad it is.

I'm not saying it is wrong, just that it works.

And, thus, Uwe Boll's filmmaking strategy is revealed.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

ROFL, what would be worse if they got a contract to make an American Cartoon based off the movie, like they did for a lot of other crappy movies in the past. (And some good movies, but most of them were crappy and the cartoon series was worse.)

 

[Vorguen]

Ace Ventura... the Mask... and Dumb and Dumber were all made into cartoons from Jim Carrey movies that were great turned into terrible cartoons.

 

[pikamon]

Lol I remember the Mask cartoon...

This movie will suck. There's no doubt in my mind...but you know what? I'm gonna see it anyway simply because I'm betting it's going to make me laugh a while. The cartoon was great, but let's face it, it was corny at times, and that's why we all loved it.

But not like this...

If it's going to be bad it might as well be bad and loosely follow the plot of Dragon Ball, but it chose not to. That's the "Directors vision of how DB should be" for you.

 

[Deleted member]

I've been reading DragonBall since release and I'd hate to see it end this way. Did you hear what the director said about Piccolo? In this movie he was initially good then he got in an arguement and was imprisoned for 2000 years. Seriously, what the hell?

 

[Vorguen]

This movie will destroy mankind as we know it.

That's Hollywood for you, though. They were trying to make Ender's Game into an all out action flick centered around a teenager. Now THAT is ridiculous (if you haven't read it, you should...). Naturally, the author refused to do it.

Hollywood does this crap all the time. They take ideas that are epic, such as Dragonball, and condense them into little 1 1/2 hour films that are supposed to appeal to a broad audience. They have to sum up the origins in about 15 minutes, and that always ruins things. Even the Lord of the Rings disappointing people (although I thought they were great).

Like I said, it'll suck (there's no doubt in my mind when I look at the actor playing Goku), but at least we can laugh and enjoy the absurdity.

And hey, at least it's not this! (click me)

 

[M@v]

Hey, anyone know when this piece of crap is supposed to come out?

 

[Esoteric]

Does it really matter? Are you going to pay to see this pos? They're also making a game based on the movie.

 

[highandmightyjoe]

Magic Begins is so amazing. I make all my friends watch it with me. No group of friends should ever have to go without a night of drinks and terrible movies.

 

[Pink Reaper]

Magic Begins is even better when you watch it on the Spanish channel like I did.

 

[victra♥]

So. I'm pretty pumped for this. Who's with me?

They are making a game too? Well, I guess its all aboard the failboat for them.

 

[shadenexus18]

7 Earthling Mystics...? No no...Nemekians (Kame and Dende) created the Dragonballs.

Finally, the guy that plays Goku...just no. Goku is suppose to be one dimensional as far as being simple minded is concerned, plus he's suppose to be carefree.

This is going straight to DVD/Blu Ray in a good week. I'm gonna still go see it in theaters for a good laugh. XD

 

[Vorguen]

I'm going to the theaters just to see how bad it is. I swear that must be their ploy.

 

[Aesir]

All I see in this thread.

Irrational fan boys who don't understand the meaning of "Adaptation" and the fact that hollywood needs money, so if they made a movie to appease the unrealistic demands of the average fan they would lose money.

 

[Vorguen]

Or you can just admit the movie is Epic Fail.

 

[Aesir]

I won't admit anything until I see it for myself. Calling something Epic Fail before even experiencing it is down right closed minded.

Dude...it's Hollywood's job to make a movie and teaser trailer where the viewer cums himself a river.

... No it's not.

I can think of a dozen movies with bad trailers that were actually amazing movies. It's Hollywood's job to make movies trailers are up to the someone entirely different. That's marketing's job.

Well maybe they should take notes from the virtuosos of making movies....the Japanese because clearly they know how it's done, and done right.

I don't understand your point. The trailers are showing that this movie doesn't even come close to resembling the anime, at all. How is it irrational fanboyism to be outraged at a complete debacle of a lot of people's favorite childhood show?

Also, I don't think Hollywood needs money.

The Japanese are anything but masters of movie making. Don't down size Hollywood's ability to make a great movie.

Because fanboys don't understand the concept of movie adaptation and the amount of financial loss that would come from producing a movie identical to the show. The same Basic concept is there, boy must save world toss in a quest for dragonballs and there you go. It just so happens the producers along with Toriyama decided to take a different rout then what we're use to see.

 

[DtJ Jungle]

Aesir, your sig is amazing.

 

[DennisTheKing]

Makes me sick seeing this..no Krillin? =fail major character in Db.

And they have the whole storyline messed up..

 

[pikamon]

This is a bit of a side remark, but it really seems like this Dragonball movie is the start of a series of live-action anime flicks. They are also going to make a Cowboy Beebop movie (starring Keanu Reeves) and TWO Akira films.

I guess Hollywood has used up all the good novels/comics/remakes they can, so now they're moving on to Anime lol
