A lot of talk has gone around about boycotting the dragonball movie and many fans are saying how they can see the film will flop.
I say give the movie a chance.
Yes it has deviated from the spurce material on some points but it is an adaption. If you believed a main studio would feature talking animals and dinosaurs in the film just because they were in the manga you were deluded yourslef. The talking naimals never did anything to forward the plot and so they are expendable. If you compare it to x-men or resident evil then it is a very faithful adaption, i mean it has all the primary characters and vents still intact with the unfortunate exception of poor krillin.
The film has a talented director who has a nack for humor, is good with martial arts and seems to liek the source material. The villains in played by an actor who seems genuinely enthusiastic about the film.
It may not be a perfect cast and crew but its a lot better than many film adaptions are handed. We could have got Tom Cruise and Uwe Boll.
And to all of thsoe who keep saying "Lets tell fox our opinions by not going and then they can do a decent remake!". How many new franchise have a box office disaster and then get a superior remake speedily made? I can`t think of any. I mean i guess hulk counts but that only got a sequel because marvel kept on at it. I mean thunderbirds. Godzilla 98. I mean superman spent almost 20 years waiting for another movie after the disaster that was supes 4. If the films is bad it will fail reguardless of if we go or not. But can we pass up the possibility that it could be a kick-ass movie that we would kick ourselves for missing. And if by bycotting it mindlessly we somehow sabotage a good movie then fox will consider a dragonball movie unworkable and we will not see another attempt for decades.
It seems pedantic but i am getting seriously annoyed with all the prophets of doom around here. Declaring the film dead and a travesty against the source material without even seeing the film.
When the film comes out I will watch it because this will prob be the only time the dragonball will be attempted in decades (if not perhaps even our entire lifetimes) and I want to see the whole film for myself and make the judgement based on that.
Who is with me?
