I’m remaining neutreal on this one. I’m a huge fan of DB/Z/GT. Goku wore blue at the beginning of Dragonball so that made sense, though his hair looks wack.
I think if they can make the flying effects the same as the current superman movie then there may be hope. Plus i want some decent energy blasts.
I get it’s hard to bring DB charcters to life on the big screen but there are better choices for Goku.
After watching the trailer the story is a bit odd but i really think it will come together as a sci-fi/action movie very nicely. Just cut down on the cheese factor and amp up the hard core action and it will be fine!

shit… i if this is d dragonball they’re showing we should just murder the producers, the director and the actors. give justice to a fine anime that lasted for years. who came up with this crap of a movie any way. it’s better just watch the real animated version from japan.

It may be one of the best movies to come out, a box office smash of such, but if it doesn’t stick to its origins, then it’s just another street fighter, can anybody say; ‘none American Guile or Kylie Minogue Cammy’. First of all, does anybody on this blog know or have a friend, who is a white guy called Goku?
You’re only going to get camera tricks like crouching tiger, people pretending to walk on trees, fake fighting; and to you hardcore DB fans worldwide, you must be disappointed. By Goku alone, never mind the none green Piccolo and Master Roshi with a full head of hair, tall and serious, when has master Roshi ever been serious. As for Bulma, she should have blue hair and where is Krillin and Tien. Finally I have beef with the storyline, WHERE IS GOKU’S TAIL and what’s up with his hair? To be continued after the release date.

Sorry, but after all the movie promoting I’ve seen, I have to say it one more time. This movie will suck. Dragon Ball was flawless the way it was and this film utterly feigns the full package of the character Son Goku, and the philosophy and values he symbolizes that gave the manga and anime the eminence that they had.

Goku was an honest, innocent and naive little child who, even when introduced into the chaos of the over dramatic and jaded world he had grown up oblivious to, retained his purity and turned most of his foes into friends WITH NOTHING BUT HIS SINCERITY, AUTHENTICITY AND HIS DEDICATION TO PERFECTING HIMSELF AND ENJOYING LIFE. He wasn’t a pissed off, unpopular, ostracized 18 year old American kid who looks like he takes life too seriously.
If they make a movie that everyone here likes, I think that’s awesome and I’m really happy for all of you, but the point of it being Dragon Ball is gone… since the heart and essence that made the show what it was are the two things they chose to throw away, replacing it with more of the stereotypical excess action sequences and constant shit being blown up that has kept viewers from giving the story a chance to begin with. I don’t even think Toriyama-Sama could have made this into a movie, simply because the story was a LOOONG epic, and it’s clear by the amount of time they spent on this film, as well as who they got to direct and star in it that all they see in this movie is a chance to make some cash. Even though these later Batman films that have come out are not consistent with the original story, at least they stayed true to the heart of the character and made movies about that, which is why those movies were so good and are continuing to attract a wider audience of viewers (not to mention the awesome director they have and a PERFECTLY casted roster of characters.) If you’re not going to make the movie based on the essence of its original, it’s useless to even try.
I can think of at 100 ways that Dragon Ball might have had a chance at being adopted into a movie that Western audiences would find agreeable, with a film seminal story that retains the same feeling as the original and could make the shows haters take a second look. But even as a director, I never would try… Unless I could beat a company like 20th Century Fox to the punch, because I think the story is better in the hands of someone who knows the story and characters well enough that they could write any movie based on the essence and feeling alone and it would be better than this P.O.S. coming out next spring. I would even say that a true admirer making this film would get Toriyama-Sama in on it.

The gigantic worldwide fanbase will hurt this movie more than ever. They can just expect a worldwide boycott now.

Saiyan, ah of course. I should have known that. Now it makes perfect sense instead of looking ridiculous.

Chi Chi looks like she’s shitting out the watermark.

I have no hope or interest in this film.
