So…if you haven’t seen it yet, don’t bother. Fox let this one fall hard…big time. I believe this is one of the most horrible movies ever made. Trust me, you’ll feel like an idiot for having supported this movie. If you don’t believe me, check out a “professional” that supported it like you did, he feels like an idiot right now, but at least he;s willing to admit it.

Zac Bertschy’s blog on how we TRUE fans of db were right about this movie.

fyi, this guy is an editor from anime news network which is probably the best English portal for anime/manga.

i think that the characters should at least… you know look like the characters. the story doesnt matter as long as everyones there. and chow yun is a horrible choice for roshi. they need a creepy bald dude. there better be some fuckin kamehamehas in there or im gonna slap a ho.

Do you know with adaptations there’s a line beyond which things get so warped from the original it’s no longer acceptable?
The producers of this movie has just cross to that zone.

Im not sure how good or bad the movie is going to be. But sitting here reading some of the dumb crap people are written is annoying, to call yourself fans and not even get stuff your complaining about right…I’ve been a fan of the series since day one I love All anime. When i heard they were making a Live action movie I shuttered, but here is the thing…… Its like reading a book and then watching the movie its never going to be the same. Things are going to change whether we like it or not. Im going to see it no matter what and see just how bad or good it might be. Im not happy with a few things i see but ill get over it.

The more and more I post on this thread, and read what you guys are saying the more pissed I get. Fox is going to bury Dragonball. I’m scared and hurt. How dare they kick Toriyama out. There just money hungry like those damn oil bastards. I’m not going to see it I refuse. I can just tell that it is going to be so lame. Now that I think about it I don’t think anyone can recreate Dragonball into a great Live action Film.

Actually I want anyone who knows the series and respects the storyline to make it.

I say boycott Fox and let Funimation, Columbia Pictures, or Michael Bay handle it. Fox has no right to kick Toriyama out since he created Dragon Ball. I want this movie to happen but Fox could turn it into a joke.

Well, as you all should have heard by now, Toriyama got kicked out of the production for having too many complaints against Fox’s choices.
You see, the main issue is Fox is making this movie simply for themselves or whatever’s behind them, instead of for the fans and the series itself.

Ya your absolutely right Priverson. I just talked to my brother about and he also said that they should have Toriyama involve. I can see if he was dead and they want to pay ommage to his creation, but he’s not. They need his insight. If that can happen then they will have a movie that’s praised, respected and watched for years to come. I think I might be more open to the idea if they would just change who’s playing Goku I’m not feeling him at all. I didn’t see enough of him in War of Worlds to have confidence in playing this role. Your thoughts Plz.

I agree with you on that Priverson Toriyama has to be involved.

Well, Gaitosen, the reason most fans are boycotting or feel like boycotting is exactly because the movie pays absolutely no respect to Toriyama.
Those Hollywood producers just think they’re so smart they can change the story in anyway to suit whatever marvel antics or white supremism they feel like publicizing, an annoying attitude which I find highly similar to that of some here who imagine they have the eligibility for gathering genki.

Hey I agree with the boycotters and non-boycotters. I remember thinking about watching DBZ when I got home from school with my brother (I didn’t start watching DB till later.) First episode I saw I was hooked. I’ve watched each saga in about 6 different languages. It doesn’t get any better then the DBZ empire. I thought a movie would just be the ultimate of ultimate for a DB fan. But, I don’t want it to be done just because there’s a huge fan base, and people are just trying to fill their pockets I don’t want to be disrespected as an avid follower the anime Toriyama created. A movie of DB if done well with the heart and soul of a fan or a lover a great anime would make a DB movie worth while. Of course they are going to change the story around and the dialog that’s what they do, but if they do it the right way, and focus on what the viewer’s really want to see they will make one of the greatest movies ever made, and still put some cheese on their crackers. Sorry so long. Oh and Justin Chatwin HELL NO! I can’t think of anyone right now, but I know there is someone better for that role.

Some people claiming to like Dragonball turn out to like only the name of it instead of what’s within the story, or else they would think it’s okay to change things in the live-action or support that ‘A FAKE’.

Fan, law, Nate, and Sato you guys all have good points. Fan is right when it comes to the storyline. But where’s the harm in changing it a little bit? If he went with the same storyline everyone would know what was going to happen. He just wants to suprise us. It’s not like he changing the character’s names and everything. Sato unfortunately unless some true fan has a story good enough the series is done. However fans are working on the DragonBall AF(which as fans should know would have came after GT) manga in Japan but I don’t when or if it will come to America. I think the series is on DVD but I don’t know for sure. Several video games will come out over the years Remember as long as you have the series on VHS or DVD,have video games, have action figures from when you were younger and other Dragon Ball products than Dragon Ball will never die.

anime just be anime. it doesn’t fit to be live action. so dragon ball only for manga and anime. i just want akira toriyama continue the dragon ball z story. and change the dragon ball GT. too much error on GT. gohan can become super saiya again, no fusion, no ten shin han,goku became a kid and etc.
