Nevermind.

Shenron clip was sort of bad but Kamehameha was not bad.

 

[polm]

Did you actually see chun li?

yes dont see it if you love streetF
the movie have a name, and it is a movie, just simple,
is not bad, but sfx very cheap, you think you see a 87-90 movie sfx ...
well wait dvd i think

 

[dark_b]

Let's not point fingers now. People are allowed to go see the movie regardless of how bad the buzz is.

he is not a bad person. i dont know him.

but noone who saw the clip should watch this movie. from this leaked clips you can see how the movie is edited. its obvious cut down. maybe it was even filmed like that.

AGAIN. KAMEHAMEHA IS 24 SECONDS.

you're right...Superman failed for those reasons, but it just goes to show that even a powerhouse like Superman can fall victim to the box office. regardless of the problems with the film, people still have to buy tickets to see the movie and it struggled just to break even.


well, let's put it this way...Superman has been around for 70 years and his symbol is more recognizable than Mickey Mouse's head in many deserted areas of the world. i'd gladly bet that there are more Superman fans in the world than there are Dragon Ball fans.


i think the biggest obstacle DB:E has to overcome isn't DB/DBZ confusion, but rather the negative buzz.

The negative buzz, it seems to me at least, has only reached DB fans. But most comic films are like that. To the rest of the world, it's just another action flick/film they'll take their kids to see.

My point with Supes is that, yes you're right, every film can fall victim to the box office no matter what the fanbase. But in the end, when people hear Superman, they think of more than just baby mama drama. Unfortunately, that's all SR was. At least people are getting the cheesy, over-the-top, martial arts, CG fest they expect with a Dragonball film. It'll be enough to help it break even. Beyond that, the film has no chance, especially critically.

I'll take you up on that bet.

I was not expecting kamehameha to last a minute beacuse it was just a move.

 

[dark_b]

what?

I have no idea what you just said.

I think English might be his second language, be nice

The dialogue is just shocking. Wong made rewrites yet the film still has some really poor lines like when Goku is about to do the Kamehameha and he says all that crap before he does it how he needs to have faith and he is Goku and he is Oozaru?!

The Kamehameha itself looked cool but it was just too short! I was expecting to see an epic build up of energy then it being released in a beam of rage but the entire power up for it was so small!

Shenlong appearing was really bad too! Again I expected an epic reveal but it was just *poof* Shenlong appears *poof* Shenlong disappears. And why did Goku shout out "DRAAAGON!", why not say "Shenlong", or something like that.

It just seems to me that none of the actors seem comfortable playing their characters or that they don't know the character well enough to give a good performance apart from James Marsters who knows the Dragonball universe in side out. Marsters' performance as Piccolo is gonna be the best thing about the film but unfortunately he will probably only have a small amount of screen time.

After watching those clips I'm curious to see how Oozaru fits in. I mean, Chatwin's gi doesn't look like its ripped or damaged - unless he has a spare one tucked away in case of emergencies t:

I think we now know why Goku wears baggy pants.

I haven't seen the Kamehameha clip.

 

[SsM]

Neither have I... Nor do I want to >_<

 

[DorkyFresh]

I haven't seen the Kamehameha clip.

it's kinda hard to see but here it is...

here's a link to clips in another forum that has the clips. if this is not allowed then please let me know so i can edit my post...

 

[huzzah]

I haven't seen the Kamehameha clip.

It's on youtube. Check the most recent entries.

They should have just left it at "I am Goku." or "My name is Goku." or whatever it is. Like if Piccolo called him Kakarot, then he could say the line and it would've been fine. All the extra stuff was overkill.

The Kamehameha itself looked cool but it was just too short! I was expecting to see an epic build up of energy then it being released in a beam of rage but the entire power up for it was so small!

I understand the complaint, but why would Piccolo sit there and wait for it to happen? It's one of those things that's cool to younger people, but makes ever adult in the audience murmur of anti-realism (wordsmithing).

 

[Orb]

I don't know about you guys but the finale looked soemthing alot like DBZ.

 

[StylishHokie21]

it's kinda hard to see but here it is...

Wow! I can't believe I overlooked that. There's really not much else to say. There's not one clip I've seen of Chatwin that convinces me he is Goku. "I am GOKU!"

Piccolo wouldn't sit there waiting for Goku to charge up the Kamehameha. Piccolo could be down on the floor just getting up from an attack by Goku. Goku then starts to perform the Kamehameha to finish Piccolo off and when he see's Goku getting an attack ready Piccolo gets his finishing move ready and both energy beams collide.

I dunno something like that.

 

[XSpidercideX]

As far as I've heard, this kamehameha is the very end. Piccolo and Goku fight, then Goku turns to Oozaru, after he comes back to Goku he performs the Kamehameha.

Thats why he was talking about Oozaru.

 

[Son Kune]

That was lame. The Kamehameha would have been better if A)It was pronounced right and B) There was actually a struggle between the energy blast. The whole Shenlong summoning scene? Lame! Should have been longer and a bit more dramatic. The ending!? Is AWFUL. They really had Goku and Chi-Chi run at each other and then freeze frame. Man....**** this movie.

 

[dark_b]

thats the point of dragonball episodes. the kamehameha is long. then in the last second goku powers up and finishes him.

this was so anticlimatic.

 

[Star]

Wait, what is this about a freeze frame?

 

[Orb]

It goes on bullet time effect only for a few seconds and ends.

 

[dark_b]

there is some strange editing when goku fires the kamehameha.
