I always forget about that giant monkey stuff. Don't they lose that ability/problem (?) once their tales get cut off? Does Goku even have a tale in the movie?
I jumped in at the Cell Saga and only watched bits and pieces before it.
 
The toon kind of sucked... so why are any of you surprised that this movie looks sucky? :chew

It's a show about 22 minute episodes of people powering up, recycling images... growing at eachother. Sophisticated stuff. Love some of the character designs though.

hehe
:monkey3
 
damn i am actually pissed looking at all these photos and trailers, how can anyone manage to butcher a movie and a masterpiece of an anime this badly? If they were going to change it they should of changed all of it or keep it all the same. The dude looks ridiculous in a cartoonish orange outfit and his hair is equally ridiculous. The fact that hes a high school kid makes him look like a double *********. wow i could go on for days about this. what the heck is that transformation, looks like he is transforming into piccolo.
 
You Have Got to Be @#$%ing Me, Dragonball Movie

Dragonball fans should recognize the giant monkey above as Goku in his "Oozaru" state; it's one of the bat^^^^ insane things about Dragonball and DBZ that has made it so endearing to fans around the world. Now, a picture has appeared of what could very well be Goku in his Oozaru state from the live-action DB movie.

A clever journalist might say that Fox's adaptation is "monkeying around" with the original anime. A bitter journalist might say that Fox has "thrown its poop" at the original, beloved cartoon series. I, however, say the live-action Dragonball movie has ^^^^ directly into the mouths of every single ^^^^ing DB fan in the world. Hit the jump to see the pic.

YOU.

HAVE GOT.

TO BE ^^^^ING KIDDING ME.

Why? Just...why? Why bother spending all that money on the Dragonball license if you weren't going to pay any ^^^^ing attention to the manga or the show? Why make changes that will not bring you any mass appeal, and only serve to piss off the fans? Why ^^^^ing bother including Goku's Oozaru form at all if you were going to make him look like an alien from the ^^^^ing '60s Star Trek series?

^^^^. Maybe this isn't real. Maybe it's something else entirely. But a movie that would arbitrarily change Piccolo's skin color from green to white—a change so unimportant as to be insane—could and wouldeasily change Goku's ape transformation into...this...^^^^ing nonsense.

^^^^. (Via Comic Book Movie)

MY GOD !!

FOX HAS RUINED THIS MOVIE.
STOP PRODUCTION RIGHT NOW !!

Man !! let me be the director for this movie.
I would do a better job.
 
I pretty much hate most live adaptations of animes and I doubt this will be any different. I used to be a HUGE DBZ fan back in the day but after the Frieza saga it just got a little repetative. The stories were almost always the same, it's just you had a new villain in each saga who would always hand Gokou's ass to him untill Gokou transformed into a new SS level only have the villian transform to once again hand Gokou's ass to him again only to have Gokou eventually kill said villian of with a Spirit Bomb or Kamehameha. But still I guess thts part of the charm of DB/Z/GT.
 
DB anything IMO sucks. Those shows are way too off the wall weird to be live action. So, the movie was ruined from the start.

But still...I understand your pain. I've been through it, TWICE. Same company. Dont buy tickets for ANY Fox movie. Ever. Pay for something else.

That's sad to here, esp. when it's towards a series that's been named "the greatest action cartoon of all time." It's also the most sucessful anime ever in terms of merchandise sales, other misc. marketing etc.

Now, I'm not saying that the movie will live up to the franchise, but the franchise itself is definitely a respectable one in my opinion. And I'd say there's a few million other people that would agree.
 
new leaked teaser:

<object width="450" height="358"><param name="movie" value="https://www.traileraddict.com/emb/6704"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="https://www.traileraddict.com/emb/6704" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="450" height="358" allowFullScreen="true"></embed></object>

I'm late to the show here... but anyway.

If that trailer didn't say "DRAGONBALL" I would not have guessed that's what it is. I know animations and games can't always translate perfectly to live action and the big screen... but ouch. My heart is broken! :cut
