New DragonBall Movie Trailer is .... kind of lame

December 10, 2008 in Video comments 10

The new Dragonball: Evolution trailer has just been released. It's cheesy, a little lame, but surprisingly it doesn't look as dreadful as many fans thought it might ...



Look, I don't even like Dragonball. But still, I know enough about it to know this trailer will make people upset.

    All trailers are made to entice us. I'll still see the real thing, but I'll just wait until it hits cable TV or something.

    It looks a little cheesy, but to be honest, from what I've seen in that trailer this could work.

    I think it looks cool myself. You cannot suggest it may be disappointing because it's a little cheesy/lame because so is the anime. For example, it's full of bad puns. The female character Chi Chi, her name means father. Most of the characters are in fact named after vegetables.

    In short, all this has done is interest me.

      To the non-fans of Dragonball or those that haven't seen the anime then yes they will be interested in this as the director has opted to make Dragonball similar to Mortal Kombat.

      However comparing the anime to live action...the live action has ruined the series.

      It's like the same if they did live action World of Warcraft and made the Draenai (sp?) green instead of purple. I'm all for change or looking at something from a different angle.

      Goku in the live action is a white american, however they can do this because Goku is a humanoid alien and not from Earth.

      However Piccolo (the green guy) is also an alien, turning him into a white human is beyond stupid and even the excuse of "Well he can transform" (which he can't) is even more stupid.

      It will flop in the cinema and be on DVD/Blu-ray after several months of release...that is when I shall watch it but I will rent it

    Meh, it seems a lot different to the anime, needs more super-speed fighting.

    Goddamn ruined Dragonball Z.

    I'll stick to the anime and NEVER EVER go see this movie.

    This movie has basically put DBZ under its butt and took a huge dump on it =|

    WHOA WHOA WHOA, hold on. Master Roshi is being played by Chow Yun Fat? You can't possible be serious? I'm probably one of the biggest DBZ fans on this site, and I know I've said this before but this movie will be the biggest flop in the century. If people think Street Fighter The Movie with Jean Claude Van Damme killed the movie, this one is 10 times worse. I actually enjoyed that movie, but this. Damn Where's the power levels? Where's the flying? Where's the real Kamehameha? Why the hell is master Roshie not old? Yes people even in the original he was old gray haired man...well still had some dark hair.

    And for the love of God get the name right, It's not Piccolo(well not the Piccolo we know). If this is supposed to be the Movie representing the first series, Dragon Ball, then the name is Katakana(his real name people...his father's anyway), which is his father that Goku killed before he spatting out an egg which contained piccolo. Although I think Kame came out sometime during his father being killed.

    Anyway this looks horrible. Worse then I even imagined. I know some people don't like the long drawn out battle sequences in the anime, but that's what gave it the charm and awesomeness I've come to love. God these actor choices are horribly wrong. Why did they have to take DBZ, why can't they take something like Rurouni Kenshin which is actually doable?
