posted by jokis on Aug 06, 2008i think this movie could be very good, the beginning story of dbz was a little lame too begin with. the thing is that those costumes look sooooo chessey
posted by ma elite on Aug 09, 2008looks like sh**!! really!! the clothes, the actors, hairstyle, the dragonball. i really am frustrated about that!!! can´t say it often enough! i won´t watch it!!! f**k this adaption!

posted by Ajai on Sep 09, 2008Can't believe that Fox is actually wasting money on flamers to fake the optimism over this bomb when pretty much the whole world has just gone onto a global boycott
posted by 1 DB fan on Sep 19, 2008I think the movies going to be great and that all u doubters need to chill and wait til u see it to talk about it.. This is not a easy movie to make so give them a brake.. Be happy that there finally making the movie and so for it looks great.. Some things had to be changed for the better..
posted by DSK on Sep 20, 2008Is there still people so stupid as to question why people everywhere's going to boycott?
posted by JTX on Sep 25, 2008You guys are forgetting one of the lessons DB taught, never to judge on apperences alone?
posted by Whocares on Sep 25, 2008It is so obvious the world doesn't want this flick about which only bad news came out to be made, and is going to boycott it even if it does come out, so why don't those guys sucking up to this cinematic crap just shut up and take a hike?
posted by dragonbomb on Sep 26, 2008DBZ was the best cartoon and still is. some people are saying that the movie's going to be crap but no one has seen anything apart from a couple of still photos which reveal basically nothing. so, instead of bagging it before you've seen the trailer hav some faith that the movie will deliver...which it will.
posted by can\'t wait on Sep 26, 2008This is a complete disgrace. This is purely aimed for those people who have never actually seen DBZ or its predecessor and are just after an ordinary action flick. This movie will completely destroy the complete DB saga and any meaning it ever had. Also....why the f*** is piccolo not green? They could've at least put more effort into maintaining as much accuracy as possible.
posted by iggy on Sep 26, 2008I was so excited that they were making a Dragonball movie but now... Now I'm a little concerned. Piccolo isn't green? Bulma's hair isn't blue? What are they trying to do?! They better not screw this up or I'm going to be royaly pissed!
posted by massagegirl37 on Sep 26, 2008This movie looks terrible. piccolo looks like a vampire. dragon ball can never go live-action, they have a better chance making a live-action pokemon movie (not really), why couldn't they just make another animated movie to add to the already huge stack of DB movies, or maybe like a 3-D dragon ball movie like the video game graphics(but better), so much people are gonna watch this in the theaters and be disappointed, i'm just congratulating them for attempting to transform DB into live-action, its going to be hilarious to see this in the theaters (unless i watch it online first).
posted by kolo on Sep 30, 2008Did i actually fu**in here goku mutter the words "I cant do this"?! ....not seeing this for s***
posted by Clif on Oct 17, 2008I'm giving this movie a 5 cause I'm a big fan of Dragonball. First of all there is a reason why piccolo is not green but he will be later in the movie and you will find out what I mean if you watch it. I think they are doing a great job with the movie so far from what I seen in the bootleg trailer. Well thats all I can think of for now if I can think of anything else I'll add it. Peace

posted by bor on Nov 09, 2008I Can't Wait For This Picture To Come Out!! I've Been Wanting To see a DB Movie Since I First Saw The Show On Cartoon Network. I Wonder If They Will Have Raditz, Or Vegeta In It Towards The End? Anyways, All The Haters , Talking Crap About This Movie Can Suck One.

posted by t on Nov 21, 2008I can't wait to see Dragonball next year!! Im going to wear my Gi. I hope it turns out EPIC.... So far so good! I can't wait to see the Special effects.
posted by Coreywilson10 on Dec 09, 2008I think everyone is missing the point. “not close enough to the original cartoon”?? i dont want to watch a live action movie that’s exactly like the cartoon. then it would be for kids, rated G - just like the cartoon! that’s gay as hell!!! no one would want to see that. who wants to watch roshi as an old hunched over man with a turtle on his back. CHEESY!!! I think they definitely did a good job putting more realistic (if that’s even the word for it) touch on it. more for an older crowd. im pumped to see this film.
posted by Neal on Dec 16, 2008i think its gonna be a great movie peopel complain to mutch it is a realy hard comic to make a movie about i think they do very wel and some chars arent in it but what i hear its a 3 parter so think krillin and others that arent there will be in them think
posted by roy on Dec 20, 2008thx for destroying the best anime made, good work fox ~clap~
posted by Bad?Worse? on Dec 21, 2008i think it's gonna be above average, and very different from the source material. But I don't have a problem with that, as a matter of fact. it should happen. Who wants to see an adaptation with the exact storyline identical characters told all over again (dumb fanboys)
posted by jb on Jan 01, 2009I dont know :( Bulma's hair is not blue. Piccolo isn't green. And the only time Goku would say i'm not ready is if he wasn't finished powering up :P (see one of the previews). And if its suppose to be young goku......where the fug is his tail!
posted by Uhoh on Jan 08, 2009I saw a sneak peek when i was in mexico. I you are a dragonball fan you will hate this movie. From what i saw is just a teen sifi drama.
posted by fusion on Jan 17, 2009sucks, the producers is a famous Hong Kong comedian no wonder this movie looks more like a comedy than a real Dragon Ball. They should just call it "KARATE KID EVOLUTION" or some crap! This movie sucks! and i think all Bragon Ball fans should boycott movie like this!
posted by DBZfan on Jan 18, 2009HORRIBLE!!! WORST thing to ever happen to DBZ. BAD BAD BAD!!! Stop using the DBZ name and pick another name like "Teenage kid pretends to be Goku trying to make a movie but turned out nothing like it" Movie.
posted by DBZCardCollector on Jan 23, 2009this is not like dbz at all it looks so bad i would feel gay just watching this movie. I have been working on a screen play for a real dbz movie for fun and this just pissed me off.

posted by ast on Jan 26, 2009I believe this movie will please the majority of fans. For all you nay sayer's go suck a lemon. You can't expect them to follow every aspect of the anime, otherwise wheres the surprise you'll be sitting their the entire time going 'ooo heres that part where goku gets hit on the head with the axe' Resident Evil turned out nothing like the games and it still did an above average job in my eyes.
posted by 69hitcombo on Jan 27, 2009Terrible. I actually believe that this is NOT going to please the majority of the fans.

posted by you people on Feb 19, 2009This movie looks like crap!!! I think the Wachowski brothers should have made this one, Matrix reloaded and revolutions looks more like Dragon Ball than this one.
posted by Alan on Feb 20, 2009Its fucked up how they dont try to atleast make the story with the DB series better . I mean u got adults playin wats suposed to be teens and master roshi could have been a bald prevert old man. Come on Hollywood! you couldve done better!
posted by B on Feb 20, 2009i really love the actors, but justin don't reach my attention.
posted by KM on Feb 21, 2009Man it really pisses me off how you(fox) takes away what we used to love to watch and turn it into a piece of crap.
posted by DK on Feb 23, 2009I've been loving Dragonball since I was but a wee tot. I'm thoroughly excited about this movie. Martial arts - aliens - capsules, yep, this is going to rock the Casbah. True fans of such a light-hearted show wouldn't run around snarling and foaming over this little adaptation. You have to look at a movie as a director's piece of art, not a photocopy. Think about it, people.
posted by Morbus on Feb 24, 2009I love DB. Now I want the movie to be great... cause if it is noe, we will never see a DBZ. so if we(the real fans) don't suport it, we will be shooting ourselves in the foot. Now i must say that the choosen ones are far from what i watch on the toons. it seems that the director's reserch was not true to the code of the trueness. ah hell, who am i kidding... it really look like it is going to suck... look at who the picked for Goku... ans still I will pay my funds to see it.

posted by womzee on Feb 28, 2009Im a big dragonball fan but this movie is going to suck big time. The actor they have playing goku is nothing like goku his persinality is very difrent. He is no longer the care free pure of hart happy go lucky Goku we all now and love. And to all of you that thinck that the story line is even close to the same. It's not. Forget the tralier read the scripet. It's so bad. there buget was 100 millon ha! somebody didn't now what they were doing.
posted by vidar on Mar 02, 2009it took some serching but i found the script it sucks. then i saw how they got to play goku. here comes another mistake.
posted by goku_82 on Mar 02, 2009If they want to make a DBZ movie, they need to at least use the story from the annime. Plus make the characters look more like they are supposed to #1 Bulma (Blue hair) #2 Roshi (At least bald) #3 Goku (Does not look sooo WEAK) Future planet crusher HELLO
posted by Super Dave on Mar 03, 2009ok 1. i believe this will be a very interesting movie. 2. all you little whiny nerds thinking your big and bad making smart ass remarks about a movie (THAT ISN'T EVEN OUT YET) without understanding what the director is trying to create are freaking morons that has such a fucked up life you need some other form of venting out your nonsense. Even BEFORE they started filming this movie they warned people that it is a REINTERPRETATION! It IS NOT going to be exactly like the anime. Why make it exactly the same where you already know what happens. Its basically like a "different DB universe". And to you people that read the "script"....ummm you do realize that they have made changes during the progression of filming. I understand having opinions about upcoming movies....but if all your going to do is whine and complain about redundant crap, then save all the reasonable people's sanity and IQ and can it please! Watch it first....then bi*ch.
posted by Ozma on Mar 04, 2009This movie looks great. It is pretty similar to the anime, and pretty diiferent. That is what makes this movie unique. Can't wait to see it!
posted by Womzee on Mar 06, 2009I Don't really know what to think of it yet, I'd have to watch it first, It looks authentic, so to all of you saying without a shadow of a doupt that it will be bad, you might be in for a surprise.
posted by Julioga on Mar 07, 2009I'll just assume Fox needed money and leave it at that. This wasn't one of thier brightest ideas. At least it's not a joke to everyone, but still... *shakes head in disappointment*

posted by ball on Mar 15, 2009God....i laugh so much when goku's hair turn back as it was... I always been a great fan of dragon ball, and i think i will seriously like this movie. Everyone say's that this movie sucks, but thats because they see it as a lame copy of the anime. Well i see it as a new level of Dragon ball, its like a new age for the manga series, And I think that DragonBall Evolution rocks.
posted by vania on Mar 17, 2009Looks decent. But, sadly, they don't fallow any of the plot lines from the manga. It's basically a fan fiction that a scriptwriter made up and was lucky to be put into a movie. Even, from what I heard, Japan gives it bad reviews. I think the only people who'll like this movie are the people who don't know what Dragonball is and have never seen the anime or read the manga. I'll be one of the many who will illegally download this crap, because i'm NOT giving Fox nor Hollywood my well earned money. Thank you Hollywood for messing up another Asian Masterpiece.
posted by Zer0Fire on Mar 19, 2009I believe the movie would be more interesting if the movie be made longer duration and each characters need to be developed more. Overall, the movie is great and I'd go for 2nd time!

posted by Vix on Apr 11, 2009They didn't follow the heart of Dragonball at all! Characters are alive that were dead before Dragonball ever started (Grandpa Gohon) and characters are missing(Puar isn't here, but Yamcha is)! It's like they decided to rewrite Dragonball!!

posted by Dragonball#1Fan on Apr 21, 2009Dragonball Evolution is awsome if you want to compare it to the anime then your be disappointed but the creator of dbz said it was a good movie and he even helped with the characters so you can't say its based on their version since its also his version.if you want the anime then watch the anime..

posted by flowman on May 04, 2009Why ... just WHY? Were they really trying to do justice to the anime? Seems to me like they were trying to mock it in every way possible. Be glad Krillin wasn't in it; at least he escaped unscathed.
posted by sandy on May 15, 2009this will go to the vidioe rental... not the box office. the thing i am trying to say is... this movie had to be made by some one who took... maybe a month or so of research... not doing trully understanding how they got their power. (chee, Key)... the effects were so ban... the matrix had better effects... they have doomed us from seeing a part two... just awful.

posted by Big blue monkey ball on May 30, 2009u know? i have always loved dbz. everything about it. i mean this movie was ok. just like wat one of these guys said. they shoulda invested more money for better cgi. and really? goku not asian? im not asian but i would like goku to be asian. at least follow the series. bulma wit dark hair? no that aint rite. and where the hell was krillin? im not saying i hated the movie im just saying it could have been better. i liked it cuz i knew what story they were trying to tell. i know all the characters. so i was into it. but i cant wait for part 2 though. but HOPEFULLY its better wit graphics and originality. but i give them a little credit. since this movie wasnt for adults. its for kids. so what do you expect. im not a kid but i grew up watching bragonball and dbz. point blank..it was a gud movie but could have been better
