in order for that to happen they would need the Wachowski's as directors and a much stronger lead actor. Shia Lebouf carried TF. if it weren't for him, the movie wouldn't have been nearly as good.

But Transformers made me want to gouge my eyes out. I prey DB isn't that bad.

 

[DorkyFresh]

start gouging.....it'll probably be worse.

 

[JP]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

I donno, quality aside, something tells me DB will have an actual story line with likable characters and fight sequences that the eye can fallow while still distinguishing who is who.

I went to see Transformers with my g/f she went to sleep. There was waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much military mumbo jumbo and useless We're confused humans talk and not enough Rock'em Sock'em Robot Action.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

THANK YOU! You and JP are right on...

sorry...i felt left out.

THANK YOU! You and JP are right on...

regardless of some people not liking the TF movie, it doesn't change the fact that FOX decided to wait until after TF's box office success to make this rushed DB flick instead of trying to making an honest attempt at translating the DB verse to live action on their own initiative.

 

[DarkSuperman]

THANK YOU! You and JP are right on...

Just doing my part to keep the world safe! Just call me "Captain Hype" my costume is not so different from Captain America's only instead of an A there's an H...oh and instead of a shield I use Foam Hulk Smash gloves...

LMAO

I stand by my earlier statement though.

There was too much Dumb mumbo jumbo in Transformers. They'd have the robots battling it out in front of their face, and they'd still be trying to figure out if there are aliens on the planet, while screaming contradictions, and bad dialogue, all while being as cliche as possible. If Dragonball is like transformers, I'll go to my local theaters with a bucket of vomit and crap, and toss it onto the film reel. Actually, speaking of transformers, I'm just glad the guys who wrote that are scripting this, and that Bay isn't directing. Although, I would like to see the script of DB before I watch the movie, as it will help me figure out whether or not I should watch it.

once again...regardless of some people not liking Transformers (a handful) it's clear that this movie wouldn't have happened if Transformers wasn't successful at the box office. i'm not talking about if TF sucked or if it was good...one thing is definite, it turned over a major profit. it's most likely the case that, after seeing how much TF earned at the box office, Fox looked at their own properties and thought "hmmmm, what properties can we exploit in a similar fashion? hey! DBZ has a similar fan base and it's a cartoon also! let's fast track that into the theater and earn a bunch of money! hire the next available director, get a script together and get that puppy into theaters, pronto!"

my case here isn't that TF was a good movie....my case is that the Dragon Ball movie is being rushed because Fox thinks they can duplicate TF's box office success w/out TF's talent pool. regardless of the negative opinions about the TF movie...Spielberg, Bay, and LaBeouf are all much more talented and successful than James Wong and Justin Chatwin.

I can't argue with that. Speilberg is the Kami of Cinema.

I went to see transformers, my money help in the office, but i was disapointed, i mean seen a robot pee is not funny, and, besides the hot chick, the kid was annoying, and the guy that make movies with Adam Sandler as FBI goofy agent was more annoying.

But i went to see transformers as i will go to see DB, hopefully the history make it better, and I the idea of a piccolo vs Goku is cooler than Megatron vs optimus prime, visually I imagine it DB fights to carry the movie, i hope i am right.

Chatwin was annoying in war of worlds because the character, i think he was ok in the Invisible, both movies here were not great movies tough.

 

[YÅ«gi's BM]

Of course TF had a story! What numbskull cannot figure that out?

Dragonball is not even finished filming yet for goodness sake and even so with the supposed budget it has and with all of the talent behind it the film will still be a dissapointment for Dragonball fans as Transformers was for the Transformers fans. Sure, I liked TF--and I'm not a fan--but even I can see some of the elements where things could have been better. That's hindsight--or at least it is for the cast and crew nine or so months from now--and it can be a pain but you have got to move on.

i dont want it to be like transformers.....

i want some rewatchability.....

Nope, what probably happened is that FOX noticed they had been sitting on a gold mine for 5 or so years, and that because of the possibility of a strike, they should make it as soon as possible. I'm sure the person who brought up the idea of making Dragonball into a movie showed them the revenue Transformers made, but I highly doubt they are copying it. If so, they should aim higher than that POS.

I also find it incredibly insulting that you mentioned Spielberg and LaBouf in the same sentence like their equals. These guys are not comparable in terms of talent. LaBouf runs around acting like a *****e, while Spielberg is a legend. His latest movies maybe not, but still he has my respect.

Also, they could have hired James Wong for his Sci-Fi background (and usually producers have a say in who is directing -- Stephen Chow etc.) They did the right thing with hiring Stephen Chow, the right thing with the visuals team, hopefully the right thing with the music (please), and the actors have been decent. Better than the random celebrity cameos in Transformers (Bernie Mac, wtf.) I prefer unknowns (and the fact Chatwin is Canadian is kind of cool to me).

At any rate, these movies will be incredibly different. And, they have already shown us that. Dragonball is a martial arts comedy with adventure (while Transformers was more of a stupid rock and sock em' robot show) with characters that are SUPPOSED to be over the top (says James Wong). Transformers humans were just products of a badly written sitcom.

Anyway, it's impossible for this movie to be worse than Transformers because it's impossible for Transformers to have a better story than Dragonball. Even with ALL the butchering they are doing, it's still Dragonball. They can add or remove some characters, but the story is still basically the same: Lord Piccolo escapes from prison after being set there for 2000 years, he wants revenge on earth so he tries to conquer it by collecting 7 dragonballs that can grant immortality. Goku, Bulma, Yamcha, and Master Roshi must collect the 7 dragonballs before he does, and before the world is conquered. Master Roshi tries to put a curse on Piccolo but fails, so it's up to Goku to kill Piccolo. Along the way, adventure, humor, and even a world tournament take place... and a hot Asian girl can shape shift.

I can't agree about Shai being talented.. just can't.

I really have no clue why people like him so much. He is really, really annoying and not a good actor. To each his own, I suppose.

My painting teacher had to paint him for the Greatest Game Ever Played poster and said he was a complete *****e. Said he was completely full of himself.

Wow, why am I not surprised? Chatwin might not be the brightest kid in the world, but he never seemed full of himself. He's just a kid who acts, he's not changing the world like a lot of actors think they are.
