Why the Hate for this Movie?

[RED-RAIN]

thats a bold assumption to make before any fan has SEEN it...and im sure you havent spoke to them all anyway lol

[RED-RAIN]

thats right...

I dont have any hate for this movie...except Roshi should have been bald no matter what and no Krillin...Other then those 2 things everything is fine IMO

I like how this is under the assumption that ALL DB/DBZ/DB GT fans are all excited for this movie. It is certainly possible that Dragonball has a certain popularity throughout the world, but it is all for not as this is a huge stray from the original source material that has been bastardized by Hollywood.

I do find it coincidental that Josemp accuses "Americans" for not understanding how the world thinks and that we consider everything we do to be the greatest thing in the world, yet he defends this movie, Dragon Ball Evolution, which is a checklist of American/Hollywood standards.

Also in a fun little tangent about Dragonball fans from around the world I met some french people who were just as disgusted about the movie as I was. Yet my glee was fulfilled the second I was able to break the news that Chow Yung Fat was Master Roshi, (you see in France Roshi has a different name, something like Mr. Hermit) My new French friend put her hands against her face and began saying "oh please no" in French over and over again. (Now I know what being a French rapist is like Ba dum tish) It did however seem to confirm a point, I have never met anybody who has or is seriously defending this movie. Everyone I know who wants to see it wants to get drunk and high then scream at the movie opening night.

well put..and yet i am a massive fan of all things dragonball BUT I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.. not only am i looking forward to it, but i have very few problems with the changes they have made because it is a movie and i realise that this is par for the course ala spiderman and the x-men movies. some people are bashing this movie because it is "unfaithfull", while it is very faithfull if you care to look past you grievances

The director is James Wong.

James Wong does not make good movies.

There is a first time for everything.

So therefore Dragonball wont be good.

Great Logic.

Once a bad director, always a bad director. Some guys just don't have it. Not everyone is Martin Scorsese.

wow thats just GENIUS...........not

 

[jimmiejoefro]

If he was going to mature into a quality director, he would've done it by now. The guy's 50.

So you are saying Terminator Salvation is gonna be terrible? Since McG is a VERY horrible director. So TS will be crap? Okay got it.

 

[Chewy]

^ Yes

 

[Water Wagon]

After seeing the Street Fighter trailer it makes DB look alot better. I could not see anything at all to do with Street Fighter in that trailer.

With Dragonball you can obviously tell what its supposed to be.

 

[CaptainClown]

I don't know, I don't even think the movie/company thinks you know what is going on. They had to actually give names under the characters just so you know whats going on.

 

[Water Wagon]

But you could clearly tell Goku was Goku, Piccolo was Piccolo etc.

Bison looks absolutely nothing in the slightest bit like Bison.

i can already tell the first one will be better (what? at least the characters looked like their videogame counterparts)

 

[BestGirl]

^ Yes

TS was written by Jonah Nolan, so that alone is reason to think it may be good.

True. At least DB is different what with its Dragonball mystic angle. Street Fighter looks like a totally forgettable martial arts movie.

Are you saying it's going to be great? There's no evidence to support that.

 

[SsM]

Where is this street Fighter trailer?

 

[Water Wagon]

youtube

 

[SsM]

Street fighter is a ****ing video game. What the **** do you want out of it? dumb goofy costumes? hell, we got that in the street fighter movie with van damme :P

 

[Water Wagon]

Thats not the point Dragonball is a anime but the costumes are good and not goofy.

But Bison i the movie is a average sized man with blonde hair and goatee and his costume is a business suit.
