Fans Worldwide Heap Scorn on Live Action Dragonball Film

Why do these freckled\pink\face\white always treat Asians as shit. Why not give the main role for the Asian for once goddamit. Goku is fucking Asian! Goddamn those nazi bastards who hired chatwin! DAMN YOU!!

I think you fucking freckled\pink\face\white are afraid to give Asian people a CHANCE.

BECAUSE WE ARE BECOMING MUCH INTELLIGENT & TOUGHER THAN YOU WHITE SHITHEADS!!!

YOU WHITE DWEEBS ARE AFRAID OF WHAT WE ASIAN'S MIGHT BECOME!!!

I have been a supporter of this movie ever since Fox acquired the rights back in 2001-2002.

There is nothing that I have heard or seen from this film that would make me dislike it.

I'm looking forward to it and will likely pay to see it in the theater MULTIPLE TIMES.

Negative for me. Hollywood needs to leave the live action movies of japans anime series to japan. I mean come on a white Goku no thanks not to mention goku is a little kid in the original dragonball series.. Not even gonna bother with this Hollywood trash.

And I thought the live-action version of Akira was going to suck!! OMFG this sucks MJR balls!!!!!! They've totally perverted the name of DBZ, and raep'd it over and over and over again. Everyone (except the cast) should be arrested and sent to Club Git'mo! EPIC FAIL x1000.

Now about the question - negative or positive???

My answer is:
KILO-MEGA-GIGA-TERA-PETA-EXA-ZETTA-YOTTA-ULTRA-SUPER-DUPER-UBER-OMEGA-DBZ(yep DBZ! :D thats the strongest unit :P)-NEGATIVE!!!

I think if you are even SLIGHTLY fan or sympathizer of DB/Z then it comes as a PHYSICAL LAW that you MUST hate this movie.

Those who claim that they are DB/Z fans and support this movie are in my opinion none other than Fox employees or some posers who are fans of something not cause they like it really but cause its "IN" to be a fan of something today...and DB/Z always parodied such impure and elitist attitude and always preached purity and fight for the good ;) So there you have it...

DEATH TO THIS AWFUL PIECE OF EXPLOITATION AND CHILDHOOD RAPE!!! AND LONG LIVE TRUE DRAGON BALL FANDOM!!!

Thank you very much for reading ^_^

Positive, because I am a hopeful person, who hopes this movie does good and I don't give negative feelings to things like movies or fictional people. I save my hatred for real people and the such.

i my self am very excited to see this movie

i just try to be positive.
but my mind kind telling me negative negative..*10^10
AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH MY HEAD HURT!!

LOL @ all the comments! I used to love dragon ball, still do. But that will not keep me from seeing and possibly enjoying this movie.

Guys, don't cling to the past so much, life is too short. Dragon Ball is long in need of an update, Evolution might be it. Either way LOL @ all the losers who thought that a Hollywood adaptation would be a carbon copy of anything Dragon Ball they had seen before! Get Over it!

This is exactly why I didn't read any of the HP book. Despite all the HP movies being great, most of the book fans are disappointed that things aren't exactly the same as the book. But I did see every single ep. of DB,DBZ,GT and moives. And even I can admit that I'm a little disappointed that we don't get to see the old Goku we all know and love, but I have moved on and hope to see a good rendetion of DB.
If not oh well, there is other stuff out there.

I'm looking forward to this movie, but I love bad movies, and this looks like the perfect movie to laugh at and make fun of with your friends.

The way it's going, it could either turn out to be a cringe-worthy nightmare or a hilarious unintentional comedy. Either way, one thing I am very certain about is that it will be an absolute flop. When I first heard that a Dragonball live action was being made, I facepalmed. I always thought that it simply wouldn't work and it would be a laughing stock. But I never imagined that it would be THIS bad...

Three reasons on how this movie COULD become a hit:

1. The people who will heavily criticize the film

2. The curious people and

3. People who have nothing better to spend their time and money on

I'm happy that the 2 hour limit will keep the characters from leveling up too much.

And that this will further destroy the reputation of one of my most hated series.

Transformers was a cheap action flick lil story,pissed on characters and crap CGI designs. It screams B grade with a A+ budget...kinda like Xmen...and BLade...oh wait...Blade got a B class budget... it was a F....

Anyway I can not stand it when they take perfectly good fiction and rape it to repackage it for mainstream.

Lets face it people..its going to suck now it not suck as bad as DOOM or Street fighter it might even be bad but funny.... but its going to be bad.... Have you all forgotten DOA already?

Man every time i watch the trailer i just not able to stop my hysterical laughter when i see how goku does the kamehame-ha

who is this person that looks nothing like goku?
and who is this person that looks nothing like... whoever shes meant to look like...

its been a while..

i lolz at this utter failure.

"How did the French guy know about Comiket?"

I would like to know this as well.

GOKU IS ASIAN!!!

You wanna know why Goku is Asian???

Goku is based on the Chinese character named Sun Wukong the Monkey King.

Dragonball is based on the Chinese Novel Journey to the West.

Goku has all the Asian features such as black hair & black eyes.

Akira Toriyama explained that Goku's gi uniform is modeled after the robes worn by the Shaolin monks of China, being that he wanted Dragon Ball to take on a Chinese feel.

Goku's name was written in Kanji. If he was a white baby Goku, his name would be written in katakana.

If a Mangaka makes a character who's name is written in Kanji then that would mean that the Mangaka's intent was to make a Japanese Character.

So if you will use your common sense you will know that Goku is 100% ASIAN.

if they did name it dragon ball and did not include the dragon balls and the clothes and name it something else, it juz might be better

Believe me, when I saw the trailer on Youtube, I thought, "What the f***?!"

No, really, WHAT THE F...

::explodes in anger, no evil laughs are heard::

I've seen Dragon Ball Z for years, the English Ocean/Funimation dubs, and the Japanese clips, it doesn't matter, but I know that THIS IS NOT Dragon Ball material!

Take out the title and iconic Dragon Ball pic from the movie, and what do you get? A movie that has nothing to do with Akira Toriyama's work!

Two things should be done about this:

1. Akira Toriyama should sue the director, 20th Century Fox, or both for ruining such an anime franchise, and Toriyama has a very high chance of winning that legal battle. He'll "Kamahameha" those charges right at them and blow the director to another dimension!

2. If Death Notes did exist, i'd like to what Light Yagami would do if he saw the trailer: find out the director's name and face, write down his name on it, and hang himself in the DragonBall Evolution movie set, and have it included in an upcoming DVD of it!

i give it a positive... and i will say why

1.- have any of you see a dragon ball movie (japanese really old) well i saw it and it sucked really bad (the story more than all)

2.- i have seen almost all from dragon ball, but i am not taking this movie like something from dragon ball (they just took the name and some of the story)

to watch this forget all you know about dragon ball and watch it like a normal movie... and you will like it...

and if you want something that looks like dragon ball from the manga and anime... well keep dreaming, that never happend in all the others anime / movie attempts

i will watch it and i am sure it will be a nice movie... if i will relate this movie with the dragon ball we all know... of course not (i dont want to destroy something i like)

i agree with shiki, that is 100% my opinion too. This is NOT Dragonball from akira toriyama, this a completely new movie/story and just took some small parts from the manga/anime.
DON'T compare this to the manga and you will like it

even if I think this will be bad,,,
I'll watch this movie when it comes out...

after I saw the trailer,,,
its like a whole new story, just like shiki said,,,

This is BULLSHIT, unless they're trying to tell us this is a whole NEW story.

KNOW YOUR STORY BEFORE YOU MAKE THE MOVIE HOLLYWOOD!!

Laugh if this becomes a hit.

That's definitely not Dragonball by all mean!!!

Yeah it's the crap movie of year 2009.
I'll never watch this movie.

Eh? Why do some of us think that a non-anime Dragonball movie made by the japan can make any difference? (*points at death note movies*)

I laughed through the entire preview.

whoa, so many comments...
I wonder if it's a new record?

Anyway, I'll just wait for the movie to be released, wait to see/hear people's reaction, and, depending on what I've heard, watch/ignore it.

I will probably watch it anyway. If it's bad, it will be so bad it's good.

NANDE YANEN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jajaja, voted negative
And i'll watch it even if it is a whole piece of... Hollywood it's awesome XDDDDDDDD
Well, still, it looks funny for me. I can't deny the fact that it's an insult for the series, but man, think about it as an American-money-seeking adaptation than a subliminal piece of... something a dog left behind after doing it's job XDDDDDD
It will make it easier for you all to see it... And aside what most of you said still all are going to see it XDDDD

God Bless America and it's adaptations anyone looks even it is piece of... XDDDD

PD: No, i'm not gonna say what really comes after the dots never XD

This movie will shame all the anime series... ~.~
You'll see people tha don't like anime, will say worst things than before...
Nothing good coming with this...
...I think

well, let just try and think our beloved DragonBall never exist in the first place.......

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOXDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!11111111111111111111

They could at least acknowledge that its "loosely" adapted.

It's hard finding those who are pleased?

Go to this website:

dbthemovie.com

Experience the retardedness of the internet.

They actually love it.

You'll see some of my comments there too, supporting the movie, because I have some bit of hope left. But apparently it's starting to dim.

So yes, NEGATIVE.

Good thing it's EVOLUTION in the title, otherwise it would be an insult to the original.

And it does look like a B-Movie kung fu movie in vein of The Forbidden Kingdom.

There needs to be an Epic Fail choice on the poll...

I would advise you all to at least see the movie ONCE.

It's a lesson learned from the people who decried the TRANSFORMERS movie before it even came out.

wtf ?_?.......they flipped da whole thing......sheesh its such a waste of money even to make smthin this redundent

They could have made it more like speed racer like advanced tech odd citys, no furries just mostly a human population with powerful fighters, the kid lives alone with his adoptive father until he dies and then when he’s a teenager he goes off for adventure and to find Master Roshi.

Picclo whos age roughly matches gokus, is trying to gather up the dragon balls so have that element in the back ground, Goku who's now in his 20s finds master Roshi finally and starts his training for Chi/energy manipulation.

Now Kami and MR.Bobo could be handled as a Indian style deity, they are not really gods but space aliens who have come to earth to help it. Now from here you could toss in Gema and the metaphysical world of the soul for kicks, he does not need be a 20 story giant a 8-10 foot giant with a huge bread will do, he manages one of many places where souls come into to the afterlife.
He and Kami have a talk about Picclo and the damage he is brining to the world and that something must be done, Rochi and Kami are friends and he sees great potential in Goku, he and 3 other warriors(Krillain,Yamcha and what’s the 3 eyes gay name?) are gathered together do some fighting with each other and then go to Kami for final training to allow them to maximize their Chi powers, so we go from basic energy blasts that are equitable to mediocre sci fi weapons to more DB/DBZ style energy blasts.

They then go off to fight Piccolo and his minions.
Its better than completely ignoring the fiction like they are doing… I’d rather see it toned down and redone than raped…

I'm a sucker for killer kungfu wolf bitches so I'll probably watch it because Mai is a hottie

1st-Why does Bulma look more like Chi Chi
2nd-(just because they already screwed the story over and might need to destroy another character) Where is Yamcha
3rd-WTF!?!?!!?!

Like I always said... it failed so bad, that it became funny and entertaining in it's own way... My friend and I was laughing non-stop in the movie watching the utter stupidity the movie offer...^^

What a piece of shit, if they hadn't introduced Bulma in the trailer I would have never guessed it's her. And the fighting style is totally not dragon ball. And it goes with such an american attitude along the way. I just hope they won't be rescueing people from terrorists or fighting against russia

i bet you could simply replacing the dragonballs with something else like mushrooms and no one would even know it was originally a dragonball movie

what th3 hell!

Ok guys, it is a movie. It may not be the best darnest thing you ever saw, but it's a movie. it may not look like the anime, because it's not. it's real people. the story might be unique, so get over that. it is a movie, and from what i saw, it looked decent and heck, i'd watch it. and i bet there are hypocrites around who said this sucks and will still go watch it. so again. it's a movie. love it, hate it, what ever. but wow. there are a lot of terrible movies around the world and fans of dragon ball are so pissed over this. amazing

What pisses me and many other people off is not a bad /Dragonball/ adaptation, and rather the Hollywood attitude "fuck ethics, come money". Any American should be boycotting this movie. Did you ever stop one second to think what the Japanese will think about this movie? It shouldn't be even released there. But, for Hollywood, Japan = Asian. Asian thing transformed into movie = Big success in Asia.

Hell, just look at the whole picture. White guy as the main lead, all that crap stuff that brainless american teenagers like, etc... American Pie: Dragonball.

Hey, at least they might get a razzie out of this.

lol i don't think its that bad as long as you see it as a normal movie i guess lol but the cg looks awesome! lol with chow yun fat in it feels like bulletproof monk lol and all those movies lol xD

Yes, it may be bad to adapt anime to real life but look at this from another perspective lol the effects look good from the trailer and well the characters dont look much like their anime counterparts but if you just look at it as a new movie its not that bad lol unless you're an outraged dbz fan lol

cowboy beebop is ASIAN not bird shit colored trailer park actor named neo stuck in da matrix FUK FOXX ENT. Dam Hollywood Im "NOT" seeing CowBoy BeeBop with neo as da star they killed dragon ballZ now they wanna kill real anime FUK CARTOON NETWORK AND HOLLYWOOD FUKN FOXX ENT SUCKS!!!!!!!!!

Uggg....

I really came late to this site...

All that money they flush making stuff like that... Even a few mil, with modern technology (CG) could make a very wonderful "Priest-Kings of Gor"...

Piccolo from DBE = Lord Voldemort + Nosferatus

I enjoyed it.

Man , I'm from Brazil, also watched DragonBall in the right order, first DragonBall chibi Goku then DBZ and the whole family on a bloodlust savage funny fight.

This movie really, really sucks. There are no words to describe it, except that it is NOT dragon ball.

just saw it online
no krillin?
roshi master of goku's granpa?
roshi livin on the city?
the balls gives you premonitions?
goku wanna f*ck over fighting?
bulma, chi chi, yamcha, WTF?
the bad guy of The MASK (jim carrey) as Piccolo?
goku transform into ozaru at 18?
Goku was a bad guy and worked for picolo?
and so on....
JAJAJAJAJAJAJA

All you haters shuddup! Man that movie was awesome!! I fucking love it! It was so full of cool CGI effect and I love how they change the Picolo character, it was plain cool! IMO it was way better than the original comic storyline, more exciting and action-packed!!
I can't see why you haters hate it so much, probably all of you are tasteless sucker.

All the people that made bad comments just lack information since it was always announced as alternative story.

Guess why it is named Evolution which means actually "change".

What an astonishing piece of s**t!

I give this 10/10

I'm from the US and when I saw the trailer awhile back I just about cried out in shame. I'm much older than a lot of you here but I watched reruns of DBZ for years and thoroughly enjoyed them. How dare Hollywood place a Euro centric theme on this great series. I will not watch this farce. I hope some Japanese producer quickly garners the funds to make the correct real life version.
Umm, maybe my knowledge of DBZ is limited but where in the hell is Vegeta??!!
____)~~ ~~;( . Y . )
_))

As a guy reviewing the movie as a movie, I imagine it won't be half bad.

As a dragonball fan, it'll never please because it strays so far from the story.

I think we should look at this movie as a different take on how the story would be in a more serious mood with elements based off the original story.

I'm looking forward to how it does, and I expect this to be a fairly good action movie.

This movie will suck like the previous Z-class chinese attemp: Dragon Ball The Magic Begins

http://www.dragonballfilm.es/pelicula-de-dragonball-f6/dragonball-fox-vs-dragonball-china-t495.htm

I lol you, IP laws.

lol dragon's balls more alike

This is an embarrassment...how could they?

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHATT THHHHE FFFUUUUUUUUUUUCK

Not only there will never be..not ever in a million years...a good movie about dragonball. For the love of anime why do they do this..and first of al is made by the Americans ...im not racist but all they know about anime is digimon and hentai.... might I ad that a European looking Goku sucks... if there would have been an Asian actor then maybe I would have hated the movie lesser..But still the idea is bad and for ever will be bad...

This will EXACTLY be an UTTER FAILURE!!!
ESPECIALLY the game!!!

Since when is Mai a shapeshifter? xD

hmmmm... well i think FANS would do better movie rather then this "THING"

they should have choosed animatrix or final fantasy style movie or something.... nvm EPIC FAIL here =/

Hollywood needs to stop making movies pirode. I mean I just went to you tube to watch some movie traliers and all I saw was crap. fast and the fuirous four god help us! g.i. joe god just shot me! the only movies I have hope for are transfomers 2 and the new harry penise movie. other than that im done with hollywood. they can just get down on their knees and do what they do best...suck! they shoud take a lesson from me I mean I can creat better shit than this. and whos bright idea was it too make shonen movie adaption. Unless your god danm shakespear know one could make that work. hoolywood needs to adpat seinen comics instead those would make more sense anyway. I mean gantz, black lagoon, high school of the dead, god even hellsing would have been a better choice! thank god there coming out with a live action deat note, and evangelion. but man if they screw those up god help them all. I can just see it now tonight on the 10 clock news raging fan boys & girls attacking the writers of the new eva film.Im just saying if they dont stop now get ready for the one piece live action movie!!!

This film is horrible in every way!!!
OK, you can change the story, you can create a new story since repeating the exact anime storyline probabbly would have been boaring, but you CAN'T and you DON'T and you MUSN'T change characters personality and attitudes!!! Why they told in this movie that the 7 dragon balls have been created by 7 sages instead of God? And where are Bulma's light blue hairs? And where is Roshi? The perfect actor for Roshi would have been Pat Morita from Karate Kid (but he's dead) or someone similar! And Goku is not Goku! He doesn't have his star shaped hair and his stupid personality! Yamcha looks like a model and has no Puar, Chichi whos is more like Christina Aguilera! And Krilin, Olong, Tenshinhan where are they???
You talk about adaptations? OK take for example the Hellboy movie, Hellboy looks identical to the comic drawings, with big body, red skin and his filed horns! And there is also the Nana movie where the characters are identical to the anime!!!

Could be interesting.

but it won't be dragon ball.

"It looks like a B-Grade Kung Fu movie…"
My exact thoughts.

Epic Fail.

Well I've pretty much determined that any adaptation will ignite nothing but scorn if I enjoyed the original. Add to the fact I was just burned by the movie version of a beloved novel I just have no more faith to give to such projects.

Hmmm...... it's a toughy but....... I'm going to have to agree with the UK~ *nods*

You know exactly what movie it looks like? Mortal Kombat. The action sequences feel exactly the same as to what was in that movie. The difference being that the MK movie was fun and it stuck to the franchise. Dragonball: Evolution looks to butcher everything the anime is. It makes me very frightened for the Akira film if that ever gets off the ground.

Well, give Hollywood a chance. Let see the movie then we comment, shall we?

i'm from the US and i've been watching DB/DBZ/ since i was a little kid, many many years..with such a giant fanbase and so many complaints, how can 20th century fox actually go ahead with this fail of a movie regardless, not even changing much?

God dammit, i hope the Cowboy Bebop movie doesn't suck this bad, atleast Keanu reeves has SOME bit of Spike's style.

"I think everyone is going to see it just to see how bad it is" Yup.

FAIL. Is there anythin' else to say?

loZl@Comiket

I can't wait to see what kind of fit we they throw when the Cowboy Bebop movie comes out. That is if it ever gets off the ground. I know I'm already raging about it.
