A Better Dragonball Movie Poster
The last time we posted a movie poster for “Dragonball”, it was literally that — a friggin’ glowing ball. Yeah, real riveting stuff, I have to say, one of those things that make you go, “Wow, seriously? Some guy got paid to come up with that?” Well okay, so this latest “Dragonball” poster isn’t all that much better, but it does show more of the cast of the movie, including Emmy Rossum, a couple of cute Asian chicks, Chow Yun Fat, and of course, Frodo the Hobbit lookalike Justin Chatwin and his glowing balls — er, I mean — wait, yeah, glowing balls, I was right the first time — is front and center again.
(Hey, it’s either this or some lame ass story about how Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone may (let me rephrase that, may) do cameos in a Bollywood movie. Yeah, that was getting a lot of traction yesterday on the Interwebs. I tell you, the crap some of my fellow movie webmasters care about, boggles your mind.)
Via the site Film1, who also brought us the “G.I. Joe” poster yesterday. It’s too bad he either has a pretty awful digital camera, or he doesn’t know how to shoot a picture.

















This movie is going to be great…..can’t wait!!!
No its not…
Look at Goku’s hair….how many cans of hairspray was used?
Enough to make it look gay…
is it true is there really going to be a dragon ball z movie in life form
sadly yes…
Ripping on this movie is just no fun anymore.
It’s like criticizing roadkill for its inability to navigate suburban streets.
What’s the point?
AE.
I agree…
this makes me proud of chow yunfat.
It make me wana puke…
While he was in Hong Kong, Kageyama Hironobu dissed Chow Yunfat for doing this to Dragonball
The New Dragonball Poster looks Amazing!!!! I like how they showed King Piccolo eye’s. They look soooo Cool!! This poster reminds me of the first Star wars movie. Emmy Rossum looks gorgeous as Bulma and Justin Chatwin looks exactly like my homie Goku
I can’t wait to see Dragonball!!!!
The poster looks gay…
Corey Wilson on the rampage again…
Good god that poster looks gay… The movie is gonna suck I know it… Who the f*** hired that gay looking cast? Good god the guy who does Goku looks nothing like him, and he looks like a f*g… F***! If the movie is anything like this poster, Its gonna suck!
Also, you cant even tell who anyone is on the poster, unless you look at casting… Goku is the only one I knew until I looked at casting… This movie is soooooooooo going to suck…
does anyone else notice piccolos eyes in the sky above them?
Yeah that piccolo, the real debate is he going human in the ikm shapeshiting.Piccolo’s form in the begining of the movie is Human to blend in but later goes full piccolo but doesn’t have antennae but is green-yellow. Also his costume is arabian and all Namekians wear black. He also notes that Piccolo goes from Good to Evil where as Goku goes from Bad to Good(explained in movie) And that he does tell Goku that he is a saiyan and there are two endings to the movie(maybe one after the credits) Where in one he spits up and egg.
‘Kay… This movie may just ruin my childhood memories of Dragonball… But I’m glad that they’re doing Dragonball and not Z, because trying to do all the fighting in Z when the characters are stronger and faster than they were in Dragonball would have sucked.
Even though it’s not going to live up to the anime, I’m excited for this movie.
This looks like a poster for one of those straight to video low-budget movies.
no puede ser q esto sea dragon ball,es una vergunza y un insulto los q miramos esta serie.
los actores tiene q ser los mismos japoneses o o por lo menos los chinos,pero la serie siempre hablo d japoneses van a decirme q en ee.uu tienen las montañas nombres japoneses
Goku looks like he needs some serious sleep.
The whole elements of the poster suck! The colors (red and blue) are so not DragonBall-like.. I’m gonna cry my eyes out. And I’m tired of shunning the whole casting. I’m gonna shun the poster..
This is what you get when non fan attempt to create something. The characters are totally off. By the looks of things they are going to be changing the story. Whether this thing has great special effects means nothing, if were are not going to have characters or a storyline similar to the originals this is not Dragon Ball Z. So far it does not look like dragon ball z. They should give it another name, and present it as a stand alone. Call it Dragon Ball kid. SHIT don’t taint the image of our beloved show!! DAMN YOU JAMES WONG.
to ezo, come on dude, first off im tired of people always calling this movie dragonball Z… its DRAGONBALL, the original one… its way different actually…
LOOKS LIKE SPEED RACER’S GOING TO GET A NEW BEST FRIEND.
WOW, this movie looks like it’s gonna suck so much balls - the guy who is playing Goku looks like a panzy - this is probably gonna be just as bad as Street Fighter w/ Van Dam. Corny costumes, compressed plots, and what’s worse than street fighter movie, is that the main character looks like a weakling - GOKU IS SUPPOSED TO BE A SUPER BEEF ALIEN CHILD THAT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO KILL A SHITLOAD OF PEOPLE WITH A FLICK. Not some panty-waist that’s 20 years old. I love Dragon Ball and Dragonball Z; I was hoping they’d do a live action on it; but from what I’ve seen with the costumes/props/actors the movie looks really cheesy and is probably gonna really suck and flop and give the franchise a bad name
It’s unbelievable. The negative sounds are so monkey see monkey do. ‘He, here is said that the colours are so not Dragonball, here is said that Goku looks gay, everything about this movie sucks hard’ blablabla. Point is, till now, you can’t say anything about the movie cause we know NOTHING about it. It can suck, it can be good, it may relay fully on the original anime or they create a different story. We’ll see.
It should be pretty obvious by now they messed the whole movie up
CAN U NOOBS STFU!!! U HAVNOT EVEN SEEN THE MOVIE YET< PLZ BITCH ABOUT IT AFTER U SEEN IF FUCKHEADS!!
THIS MOVIE LOOKS LIKE ITS GOING TO BE WHACK STRAIGHT OUT JUST BY LOOKING AT THE COVER. WHO ARE THOSE PEOPLE IN THE FRONT SUPPOSE TO BE CAUSE THEY DON’T REMIND ME OF ANY DRAGONBALL, DRAGONBALL Z, OR DRAGONBALL GT CHARACTER.
Bulma looks like she’ll have a different attitude than in the anime.
HAHAHAHAH
GOKU!! WHAT THE HELL HE IS??
I THINK THIS FILM WILL SUCCESS….
…IN TRASH CAN
Why is everyone attacking a movie that has not even been released?
There is no possible way to know hpw this is going to turn out at the moment.
I personally think that for a japanese anime turned real life that it looks quite good. Of course hair wont be the same, or the eyes or the hair, but what do you expect?
Just wait for the movie to come out beforer bitching about it.
If someone bitches about it, doesnt mean that you have to.
Then why are you speaking for a movie that’s not even been released and that every single piece of news about it shows how much it will suck and should be boycotted?
nobody can make good DRAGONBALL Z MOVIES,thet will cost to much money and this people haven t money like lord of the rings,thet is inpoosible I can t wait to see what will this guy make of this dragonball fantasy don t same my best dragonball world :),how they can put all efect from dragonball,and thet fight is a horiblle,thet is a normal fight not dbz yoou must make a real dbz fight whit efect of fust kick and telport then kick you now,and everything,I have a same look like gohan believe me but never mind,muay_tay_WArior@hotmail.com

I have read all of these comments and all I can say is what a shame. To be honest I don’t know how this movie s going to turn out, but nooone has seen it, so how can you trash something before it even comes out. I have every single dvd and tape of dragon ball, dragon ball z and dragon ball gt. I am a true fan of this anime and I can’t wait to see what they do in this movie. Some of you people need to really grow up. Lastly if you think it is going to suck so bad then don’t go see it. I am sure there are tons of dragon ball fans that will make up for your absence.
Then I’m afraid to say that you just watch Dragonball but isn’t a fan.
Dragonball fans boycott movies that trash the series instead of support it, and every piece of news about this movie shows that it’s trash.
So you have seen it already right? No you have not. How can you of all people say what I am and what i am not? Who the hell are you suppose to be. You sit here and bash a movie that you have not seen yet and you sit here and try to tell me that I just watch it and i am not a fan? I laugh at people like you because for some reason you think that you know everything about this movie. get it through your thick skull IT HAS NOT COME OUT YET!!!!!! Now on a different side when it comes out and it sucks the big one then I will sit here call it what it is. Look everyone is entitled to their own opinion but when that opinion is premature about a situation then how can you even be considered to be credible? Believe me I am a fan. I love Dragonball. But I am afraid to say that I am a smart fan who does not go around on every forum I can find a trash something I have never seen. Think about it, wouldn’t you feel better if you saw the movie and it was trash then trashed it? I am not going to sit here and have a pissing contest with you I just think you should look at the whole picture and stop having that tunnel vision.
Alright, if all the information about how this flick will suck doesn’t get you to make up your mind to boycott it, then you can hang onto your it-hasn’t-come-out-yet excuse as the last straw until you and this movie acutally sinks.
It’s not an excuse it is the truth. This thing isn’t coming out until April 2009. You don’t even have all the information. Why are you so closed minded?
Not to jump on the bandwagon or anything but does anyone know what the hell are those alien looking type things? That is confusing. I just don’t want to say it sucks before I actually see it. I was raised to never judge a book by its cover even if you think you know all there is to know about something.
You really think that these guys at Fox are actually expecting people to think this is great?
NO, they’re just looking for suckers who would pay for the tickets.
It hasn’t even come out. For all you critics Quote: Freiza Talk that’s all you are is a bunch of talk.
what the deuce is this o.O??? they couldnt get better casting?? i mean they at least could of used jet lie or something i mean jackie chan even…. all in all its gonna suck more balls jenna jamison
all u dumass losers who think u kno this movie just by looking at a f*****g poster should just stfu!!
Thing is, people are judging it not only by the poster but by the trailer
This cant be happening to all the fans. The movie wont look, sound or feel like dragonball and it smells like crap.. piccolo isnt green and “goku” looks like someone from a gay magazine. I watched.. well let’s say im raised with this stuff and i dont like what i see now.. Imagine that there’s gonna be a real pokemon movie and pikachu looks like a smurf and ash looks like albert einstein..! that would be awesome right? The hell with this “dragonball” movie
I think all of you guys that want this movie to be just like the cartoon are idiots. Shows like Dragonball don’t translate to live action well at all. Hell one fight scene would be as long as all 3 Lord of the Rings movies. So if the writers and director take some creative liberties to make it work, more power to them. I can’t believe you guys are getting bent out of shape over a few wardrobe changes. If you want to see live action Dragon Ball movies that stick close to the cartoon they’re out there, and you know what…They suck. Just to burst your bubbles even more. Jet-Li?…Jacky Chan?…ROFLMAO. I’m actually surprised Chow Yun Fat took the role. Movie companies are always going to try to appeal to a broader demographic than just the fanboys. Other wise Spider-Man, The X-Men movies, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, Iron Man, and the Hellboy movies would have all sucked donkey balls. I’ll be happy with the movie if they stick to the overall theme and story of the Dragon Ball mythos. That’s what mainly drew me to the cartoon. Not Piccalo’s purple uniform and his white turban and cape. Ok rant over.
You’re just refusing to accept the fact Fox is ABSOLUTELY NOT keeping anything Dragonball except for the names
OMG… I Cant believe yer so smallminded. wtf is goin with all of u…
its true… the movie… is looks like a real shit but haw can you ensure it is a shit?…
im sure these fckers dont even imagine how much money is needed to make a movie as good as the anime or cartoon, who cares… and even with all the money imagine… just try to imgaine: they talk about LOTR and all that… but imagine frodo shooting a kamehameha!!! or doin things like DBZ… i personally doubt this could be “great” cuz there is no way to make a movie as good as the anime (at least in this case) cuz DBZ y DBZ!!!!
go and watch da movie before talkin… and sorry cuz my english is not so good… i just do my best.. LOL
Shut up all of you idiot,just wait ti film go out ok ?? ok morons ??
and one more thing,yes this poster is a fucking gay :)))
