Member Xin Long Posted October 15, 2008 Member Share Posted October 15, 2008 here you go! http://dragonball-trailer.blogspot.com/ theres a short version and a long version. also don't judge the film yet since its only teaser. How would you compare the official trailer that releases later this year to the teaser that was shown during the licensing expo? The actual trailer will be different. The teaser shown didn’t have enough ‘energy’ and did not fully reflect the film itself. The teaser was only inteded to show certain elements for L&M purposes and to introduce characters to trade people. This piece did not show the hardcore action that the movie will contain, but the full trailer will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member daisho2004 Posted October 15, 2008 Member Share Posted October 15, 2008 From what I was reading it has nothing to do with the magna or video games that have been out, just the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member SamuraiDana Posted October 15, 2008 Member Share Posted October 15, 2008 If I saw that trailer without knowing the title of the film it was for I would have no idea it was based on the "Dragon Ball" manga/anime we all know and love. Looks like a completely different animal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member mantis FIST Posted October 25, 2008 Member Share Posted October 25, 2008 Man, for me, that film does not look promising. Why do they have to modernize this? Why not make it more like the Manga? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member edher_M.A. Posted October 25, 2008 Member Share Posted October 25, 2008 The original dragonball had a contrast in the locations. When they were in rural areas, looked like in the old China/Japan, the way we see it in kung fu movies, then, when they were in the city, it was futuristic with rocket cars, computarized houses, and stuff. This one just seems your regular L.A. city. This version of Dragon Ball doesn't look good. If they have a solid mangas, 3 Anime Series (DB, DBZ, DBGT) and God Knows how many anime movies. Why they just don't follow THAT instead of creating a crappy story?, i mean, this trailer looked like Bulletproof monk!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Way of the Dragon Posted October 25, 2008 Member Share Posted October 25, 2008 I think this movie looks bad, I have never watched the anime or read the manga so i have no real intrest in Dragonball, but the film looks silly, i dont think it would work. I do like Chow yun-fat though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member AlbertV Posted October 27, 2008 Member Share Posted October 27, 2008 I think it would have been cool if Nicholas Tse would have made his Hollywood debut as Goku (heard this on the Invisible Target commentary) and I just can't see Justin Chatwin pulling it off.

Member Charuto Posted November 20, 2008 Member Share Posted November 20, 2008 They should have a guy in blackface be Mr. Popo. That is the only way this movie could fail more spectacularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member inyoface Posted December 11, 2008 Member Share Posted December 11, 2008 It will hurt me to watch them destroy the greatness of Dragonball, but I'll watch it just to see how badly they ruin a great manga/anime. From the trailer it looks like they changed even Goku's personality!! Even if they didn't I doubt they'd do Goku any justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member HyperDrive Posted December 14, 2008 Member Share Posted December 14, 2008 Hmm... From Piccolo looking like a Sith, a single dragonball being used as a WMD, to Goku being an indecisive human....this has CGI crapfest written all over it. Yet all the fanboys will still go and then flood the internet with rants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member AlbertV Posted December 26, 2008 Member Share Posted December 26, 2008 It was announced that J-Pop superstar Ayumi Hamasaki will be singing the film's theme song, an original song entitled "Rule" and the song is in Japanese. The song will be used in both the Japanese and American releases. Full Story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member prometheus126 Posted December 29, 2008 Member Share Posted December 29, 2008 the worst thing about it is, by the trailor, it seemed to have had some sort of potential but they lost it and said "let's make a cash cow!!" nothing about it had anything to do with the manga, even to the point of taking away kami as the creator of the dragon balls (I knew they'd do that as they did with krillin. american audiances wouldn't be happy seeing god as a green-skinned alien.) the movie looks like crap and they totally destroyed anything that made the original manga any good. oh, BTW, piccolo looks like some generic power ranger villian. I mean, come ON!!! it shouldn't be that hard to make piccolos suit in 3d, it's pretty organic looking to begin with!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member AlbertV Posted April 25, 2009 Member Share Posted April 25, 2009 I caught the movie today...it was pretty bad. I completely feel bad for Chow Yun-Fat for deciding to be in this film and Stephen Chow for producing the film. The hardcore DB purist fans will be extremely p.o.ed. They made Bulma a no-nonsense tough chick type and Yamcha acting like Stephen Fung's Match from Gen-X Cops. In the manga and anime, Bulma is a teenage priss while Yamcha is scared to death of girls. The fight scenes suffered from the quick cuts, close ups, and overuse of slow motion. Even worse, James Marsters' Piccolo doesn't do anything but mostly smugging, talking, and barely does anything in the action department. The only good thing I liked seeing is the special effects used for Goku's Kamehameha Wave...that pretty much sums it up. Now I'd rather see that dreaded Dragonball movie that was released in Hong Kong back in the late 80's, Dragonball: The Magic Begins...That was so much better than this.

Member JazzandZen Posted April 28, 2009 Member Share Posted April 28, 2009 I didn't waste my time with this movie. I'm not a die-hard Dragon Ball Z fan, but even I could see how Hollywood totally effed-up the characters. They can just never get this stuff right. They messed up "Street Fighter" "Godzilla" and now "Dragon Ball" I feel sorry for the fans. I really do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member venom10463 Posted April 29, 2009 Member Share Posted April 29, 2009 The only thing this movie has in common with Dragon Ball Z is the names and the dragon balls. I'm so glad I didn't blow my money on this garbage; let's pray the producers have no plans for a sequel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
