OMGAKITTY Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 In the trailer' date=' Goku utters the line "I don't think I'm ready for this." That is the exact [b']opposite[/b] of Son Goku! Piccilo is not even green. They have the characters by name, but not by personality. Let my friend explain it to you... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5LfI-URyU0&feature=channel_page Western mentality. A super confident hero doesn't sell. One who is self-doubting and conflicted does. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gogeta™ Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Its an adaption. Goku is allowed to feel unsure of himself, and remember this isn't the full grown adult Goku this is him just starting out as the worlds protector. Piccolo is green, its just that some shots or photos haven't added a heavier green to his skin. We really don't know the case so wait and see.

OMGAKITTY Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Goku's always been sure of himself...in fact, I'd venture to say he was more sure of himself when he was younger than when he was an adult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even in the Cell Games he's just all like "Okay Cell, you win. I lost." Also, the kiss scene is falsely depicting Goku. He only married Chi-Chi because he thought wedding meant food.

OMGAKITTY Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Again, you need romantic subplot if it's coming out of Hollywood. But really, they are going to be completely redefining Goku as a character in this movie. Just one of the many reasons this movie will not work. Of course, having no expectations of this movie, I may be pleasantly surprised. I doubt it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gogeta™ Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 If you take Anime/Manga Goku and completely transfer him into a real live movie without changing certain aspects of him then whats the point of the movie? Might as well watch or read DB/DBZ. You guys just need to be a little more excepting of change. Again another example is Heath Ledger Joker. Different Look, different personality, his own entity. It worked out extremely well and we all love this Joker. Who knows DBE Movie Goku might have the same response (although not as critical as The Joker).

Heath Ledger Joker was meniachal and always had a trick up his sleeve just like the Joker we all know and love. DragonBall Evolution is completely different. They're re-defining Goku and making him absolutely nothing like the Son Goku Akira Toriyama created. it's not even close to the FUNimation Goku...and that's saying something!

Gogeta™ Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 But we really haven't seen anything. But the movie needs to appeal to an entire audience new and old to DB. So Goku may have a hint of unsureness in his abilities, but thats what appeals: A super confident hero doesn't sell. One who is self-doubting and conflicted does.

I don't think they're trying to appeal to the fanbase at all. They're banking on the name "Dragon Ball" to draw in the crowds, and remaking everything else to appeal to people who don't know anything about the show. I'm not expecting much similarity to the show/manga at all. We'll be lucky if we get a few call back jokes from the original series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gogeta™ Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Well I can see that your still not highly convinced. I respect your opinion, but still urge you to research this film (if you already haven't) and see that their not only trying to make a profit but give fans what they've wanted to see.

OMGAKITTY Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 If they were giving fans what they wanted to see, they wouldn't have made Goku white. -____-;I mean, regardless, I'm going to go watch this film, so I guess it's doing it's job.

Gogeta™ Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Goku isnt even a human he a Sayian so he's not white. Plus I think most people see Goku as white rather than Asian so thats why Chatwin was chose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

problematica Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 For the love of God, Xenu, the Flying Spaghetti Monster, the Lawn Gnome across the street, or whatever the hell you worship DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Lightray Daedalus- Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 I followed this movie since it was just a rumor and more than never I must say...It will suck really.... For CGI let's just keep it up with transformers that is an AMAZING MOVIE... this...well at some point the effects reminds me the old Power ranger's effects...Oh yeah the ones that they still use...

Lord Smeagle Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 This movie's going to be a blockbuster even if everyone on this site boycotted it. There are just too many rabid DBZ fans for it not to. Somewhere, Akira Toriyama is stabbing himself in the eye. But I'll probably see it, just for the lulz.

Kotaro Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Even though it is likely to fail, i think i might as well watch it cos there is a chance that the movie wont fail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
problematica Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 I saw the movie early, seriously it one of the worst movies I have ever seen.This is not a joke, Goku is in high school. Not even kidding, he is a student in the movie and the jocks like to bully him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMGAKITTY Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Pretty much, the producers took some really cliche ideas, added crappy effects, and probably mediocre actors, and then slapped the name "Dragon Ball" onto it so that it would sell. Metaphorically, they shat into a bag and sold it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Roxas Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Here's a review discussing this terrible excuse of a film. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/dragonball-evolution I am definitely not seeing this just for the lulz. I'll wait till it's free on On-Demand or if it airs on television. Whatever the case, I am not going to pay to see this movie. problematica, since you seem to be the only one who saw both the Street Fighter Movie and Dragonball Evolution, which would you say is worse? Dragonball Evolution, right? I don't care what you people say' date=' I think it will be awesome. Is there an Eternal Dragon in it? I still can't wait.[/quote'] No, the only non-human characters that I know of are Piccolo and Oozaru, the latter being a single entity that represents the God of Destruction or whatever. So yeah, it's terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
