Alboroto Posted May 12, 2008 I am shocked. Are they are turning Dragon Ball: The movie, into somekind of High School Musical spin off? 0 Share this post Link to post

Cardboard Marty Posted May 12, 2008 I actually like Dragonball, and I don't really expect anything out of the movie :\ 0 Share this post Link to post
Snarboo Posted May 12, 2008 I was into it around the time its popularity grew, but looking back on it I feel kind of stupid. Either way, I don't expect this movie to be a real classic. 0 Share this post Link to post
DoOmEr4LiFe Posted May 12, 2008 it was only a matter of time really...I would much rather see them remake the show, love it or hate it, it is a classic. The day they make a good DB(Z) movie is the day they decide to try Doom again. 0 Share this post Link to post
Creaphis Posted May 12, 2008 An emotional Dragonball Z movie wouldn't be completely unprecedented by the TV series. About half of the total airtime in the Frieza saga is Krillin making sad and frightened noises. 0 Share this post Link to post
Steeveeo Posted May 12, 2008 I used to like the series (before it got completely repetetive and annoying, rather than just slightly repeptetive yet awesomely violent). So this gets a *facepalm* from me, mainly because it looks like a really lame school project rather than a serious movie... 0 Share this post Link to post

Technician Posted May 13, 2008 I watched a few anime live action movies and every one of them were terrible. Like America they can have the best source material to work from but some how fuck it up. 0 Share this post Link to post

Technician Posted May 13, 2008 It's all in formatting. Some material just can't make it to film. Allot has to do with poor direction and writing. They have a huge series and have to sum it up in two hours. Another problem (And I saw this as a semi-jfilm fan) these actors can't keep an emotion in the air if their lives depended on it. I think the best live action adaption I can think of was Ichi the killer but all the intense scenes were replaced with over the tope violence. And as for that German director we all love. He fucks up a movie on purpose. Now that takes balls. 0 Share this post Link to post
Inferno Posted May 13, 2008 You guys are right about it looking like a highschool musical. But seriously the movie probably would of sucked one way or another. 0 Share this post Link to post

I hope they can ask the dragon to make the movie NOT suck. At least, no matter how the characters look, thanks to CGI we'll have some eye candy. 0 Share this post Link to post

Doom Marine Posted May 13, 2008 ... But the question still remains: will it suck harder than the Super Mario Brothers movie? 0 Share this post Link to post

I hear Initial D is decent too Also is City Hunter worth it? i've heard he has a cool Mini in the Manga's but i'm assuming it's turned into a product-placed Toyota or Honda in the live action version? 0 Share this post Link to post

The movie however mixed martial arts corniness with over the top violence made this a masterpiece. But it was cantonese so I guess it doesn't count. There’s also a Ricki-oh 2 from 2004 but it's impossible to find. 0 Share this post Link to post

Technician Posted May 13, 2008 I stand by the direction taken in the Mario Bros. movie. Quite frankly I can't see it working any other way. I men look at the source material. 0 Share this post Link to post
