IAWTP.
Will this be a good movie? Probably not. But will it be an entertaining movie? Very likely. I’ll rent it, and probably grab a few friends to stage our own production of MST3k with.
I couldn’t care less. I hate DBZ either way.
Dude, GG, if I could, I would join you in dat escapade. It would be fun and funny! I LOVE MST3K!!!
So I was finally taking a crack at my youtube backlog (I don’t usually make a habit of this even with internet) when I stumbled across this.
Man if that dragon is the best they got then I’m going to hunt down those Dragon Balls myself so that I can make my one wish that this movie dematerializes from human memory.
Oh Boy? This looks to be about on par with In the Name of the King.
I, too, really enjoyed Speed Racer. But Ironman was better. By ALOT.
I think it’s pretty established in canon that Piccolo is Samuel L. Jackson.
Samuel M. Jackson. Samuel Motherfucking Jackson. Motherfucker.
Yes I know this is a massive thread revival, but dammit…
I think they realized long ago that the movie was going to suck regardless so now they’re just seeing what they can do to make it suck as hard as they can. This flick will barely have heckling value at this rate.
I saw something the other night on youtube about the characters (Goku, Chi Chi, Bulma, etc) being high school students.
Piccolo looks like “The Mask”. Goku looks like Elijah Wood. Hilarious!
You know, I don’t think a trailer has ever made me laugh hysterically before.
It reminded me a lot about IGN’s fake Zelda movie trailer, in that it just didn’t seem real.
What the fuck did I just watch?
Wow, I thought this movie was bad before, but that just sealed the deal. It doesn’t even seem real, except it is (sadly enough). Pretty messed up stuff if you ask me, and a good reason why you should never make a live-action movie of an anime. (Some exceptions apply, I assume.)
Strangely enough I didn’t find the trailer to be as bad as I had expected to be. Goofy as hell? Yes! But so wasn’t DB to begin with considering that the world was in peril from a diabolical imp and his two assassins one of which was a small dog. That said however…
Dragon Ball: Evolution?!? God what a horrible name.
Also seriously wtf did Bulma join MI6 (or the most convenient ultrahigh-tech spy organization near her)?
Though the saddest part is if I had to choose between watching this or watching Star Trek XI I might just go and see this since I’m certain nobody else will.

Of all the movies that have no right to belong on a silver screen near you. Why don’t they make a movie from something that’s hard to screw up like Megaman or something?
You HONESTLY think they wouldn’t screw up Megaman? It’d probably have some buildup deviating violently from the original plot, but keeping some shreds of it still intact while pissing the fans off. Megaman would spend about a third of the story developing his character and not noticing the problems around him, foremost those of his sister who cares deeply about him and Dr. Light, but secretly dreams of True Love which she cannot find at home or in the doctor’s storage of spare parts.
Dr. Wily would appear with a gang of robot masters… to a point, as there would be some kind of robot masters but the concept somehow twisted beyond recognition.
Then Roll would get her heart broken by Bass, who’d then have to team up with Megaman to save her when she’s inevitably kidnapped by Dr. Wily. Bass sacrifices himself to forcefully reboot Megaman’s faith in himself, thus ensuring victory. Then there would be a dramatic scene (spawning at least two thousand slash fics) where Megaman carries Bass’ broken body to Dr. Light and in the happy ending, Bass is repaired and settles down with the robotic family all happily ever after.
…
brb, calling Hollywood.
First off: There really wasn’t much of a plot to begin with making it rather hard to screw up (although Hollywood usually finds a way with even the surest of bets).
Second off: As long as they don’t take TOO many liberties and keep it fairly close to the origin episode of the anime it should be golden (though again this is Hollywood we’re talking about here, I wouldn’t be surprised if they screwed it up too).
And Finally: Too slow!
Crotanks is <i><b>not</b></i> pleased D=<
Nothing really surprises me at this point.
If what I heard is correct, someone somehow managed to fuck up “Muscled guy with mystic whip walks into a haunted castle, beats the shit out of a buncha monsters from common horror folklore and then has a climatic duel with Dracula” by making it into a pseudo-modern bullshit crossbreed between Stoker’s Dracula and Van Helsing that has nothing to do with goddamn Castlevania.

If only that was filmed during the 80s one of the robot masters would have a mustache. Perhaps even a Freddie Mercury mustache.
Or they’d just pair her with Mega Man. It’s probably been done in a billion fics anyway, so it’s nothing new. :ulty:
Either way, Mega Man would be an interesting choice for movie adaptation if done right, and it has a big enough cast to spawn sequels, which is something Hollywood loves to milk.
