Ya liek, where else are you going to get big canvases of "hey lets go right over there where it's completely desolate and you'd never ever see it in real life and it's huge and a bagillion miles wide and nowhere to be found on Earth-but it's right over there..."
The only possible reason to give this thing a chance.
Precisely a reason for you to stay away.

And what other things were getting live-action adaptations again?
I mean, so far, Speed Racer is the only thing that seems to come off as finished and actually done while looking good.

I'm curious now though, will they keep Picollo green, or are they gonna screw him up like they did Goku. Probably make him all pink or something. Also makes me wonder if their big fight will be at the tournament. I mean Goku spent all his time training with Kami, so he never really had Picollo as a threat until the tournament, which meant no time for school. This movie just totally makes me wonder as to why these people are doing this in the first place if they aren't even wanting to stay remotely true to the story. I'd say its for the money, but the way this is looking, I'd highly doubt that.

If they're specifically stating it's a US Dragon Ball film adaptation, there's a huge chance that they're referring to the 'first' series, considering they are differentiated upon by the inclusion or lack of Z regardless of manga. Which was what I was talking about.
They're making it their own, obviously.
seems interesting!

Also I never get why a movie can 'ruin' an already established work. The manga's been around longer than most of you have been alive; I doubt a bad movie is going to change its popularity.

Epic fail.
Goku doesn't go to school, and how many non-DB fans do you think will watch this anyway?

They will probably turn it into some "R" drama fest, or worse a musical that's really bad.

...Anyway...
This is turning out different from what I imagined. Yes, this movie is going to probably be little-to-nothing like the Dragon Ball we know and love, but who's to say it'll definitely be a bad movie? I mean, the film adaptation of Howl's Moving Castle is significantly different from the novel, but it's excellent. I just think everyone should relax and give it a chance. Lord knows I heard all the complaints that purists had about the Transformers movie, but I thought it was rather fun. Don't get all hyped up to hate something, and you may find yourself pleasantly surprised.

I can understand the dissapointment, but I personally don't care about the minor differences in a movie adaptation as long as it's mostly like the original. As long as Piccolo looks like Picollo, Goku stays neive and kick-ass, the Dragon Balls and Shenlong/Shenron stay as they are, and the plot stays similar then I don't give a darn about him going to school.
I wonder what happened to his tail though.
Edit: Also, Chow Yun-Fat as Master Roshi could be interesting. The problem would be if he was too serious. Also, he should grow the Roshi Beard, as it is distinctive.

This is the greatest thing I've ever seen--take something which I'd never thought could possibly get any worse whatsoever, and ruin it even harder.
Oh god, yes. I'll be seeing this just for the laugh factor.

You know the Roshi character. I assume you know Chow Yun-Fat's career. So why the fuck would you ever bring up the possibility of him being "too serious"?
