We knew it was coming.... and yes, as a hard core Dragonball fan I was dreading it. I heard James Marsters was Piccolo and I cheered... I heard he was going to be human and not green and I cried... Well here it is guys. Dragonball movie official 2009 trailer. www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9InLjWL2IYOpinions plz End of the professional 'I'm the secretary' bit... into the 'Epic DB and Piccolo fan': OH GOD MY EYES T_T It's really not as bad as it could have been... but I wish they'd done something like Forbidden Kingdom and Journey to the West and said it was based on Dragonball instead of it BEING Dragonball. And I may have forgotten in the time since watching the series... but who the feck is Mai?!? |

I still feel kinda sulky about this. I think James marster would have made a much better Vegeta. The trailer looks like another terrible video game to B-movie conversion. Eg - DOA
- Mortal Kombat Annihilation
- Most of Resident Evil series
Still, lets try to hold out some hope on this thing. |

I thought it was good fun to be honest. Yes there were huge plot holes and the script wasn't the best, but it was an ejoyable kids film at the end of the day. You have to remember the Dragon Ball anime is aimed at kids really, so you can't take it too seriously. Also Evolution is an adaptation, so a different take on the series, meaning it shouldn't be directly compared. Oh and there is another live-action film of it, which is even more crap and funny: www.animetion.co.uk/Reviews/liveact/magicbegins(tom).htm |

(Forgot to write in this after I saw it)
Frankly, and I in no way hope to upset anyone for there opinions, I thought the finished articles was purely awful. In all fairness, they took the story line of Dragonball, and injecting the action now plot later ideal of the Dragonball Z anime. After 'Hollywooding' the story to the point that the only thing that the character have in common with their manga and anime counter parts is their names, I found most of the characters completely unlikable.
Realising that this was 'New and improved Z' rather than 'Original' Flavoured Dragonball, I tried to sit back and enjoy the action sequences, only to realise that they were bland and definately not anything Toriyama style by any stretch of the imagination.
In my opinion this has just come off as a poor action flick, with the names copied and pasted into place to suck in all the fans who enjoyed the original.
