Dragonball: Evolution

[Marfles]

I saw this today!
It wasnt so bad

[TarekCoyote]

saw it didn't really enjoy it,  wont watch it again.  i hope they try again but make it closer too the anime

Another remake basically. Kinda like they tried to do with the hulk. Heard that just turned out as bad as the first one. But yah, I hope they try again. And by they, I mean the proper creators...the Japanese. They know how to do things right.

the new Hulk was made by Marvel studios themselves, and turned out rather well actually. I believe its the least grossing of the Marvel directed remakes (like Ironman for example) simply due to low expectations and to my memory, not alot of hype.

Yeah off-topic but the latest Hulk movie was surprisingly good and definitely done according to canon and the comic books which made it so worthy of watching for this comic book fan.

Haven't seen Dragonball yet wasn't a big fan of the shows so I probably will just wait till it appears on one of the movie channels.

My problem with this movie, aside from it being totally different from the anime and manga, were plot holes.  Little ones I can let slide but come on.  That unnamed ninja lady (I wont use here anime name because her name was never said outloud in the movie) just out of the blue has transformation powers that never get explained?  Hey writers, you were supposed to be watching Dragonball, not Naruto.

-snort-

Yeah, the way I'll end up watching this movie is the same way I ended up watching Twilight; the only reason to do so is for the overwhelming chance to point and laugh.

But then, I'm die hard when it comes to anime and manga. I don't believe they should ever be made into real life movies.

I haven't seen this, and by all of my DB fan friends who have seen this, their reaction is to not bother; it really is that bad.  Comparable to the Devilman live action movie, which was just odious, and not even worth watching for the fail factor.

Anyway I've just started watching the series again, now up to the Piccolo arc.  And, being the first time as a "proper" furry that I'm watching it, I'm noticing an awful lot of furry characters in it.

That unnamed ninja lady (I wont use here anime name because her name was never said outloud in the movie)

Not Mai, surely?!? (Shuu was my favourite character from DB.)

Hey writers, you were supposed to be watching Dragonball, not Naruto.

ROFLMAO!

They could have at least set it as he was an adult because in no episodes of the anime was Goku 18.

Come the third Tenkaichi Budokai (the one when he fights Piccolo), he is 18; he's 12 in the first, 15 in the second (the one with Tenshinhan), and 18 in the third.  He just grows physically during that 3-year period.

A local friend told me he liked this movie and he was arguing that it perfectly followed canon.  I replied with the back of my hand to his face when he said that even if the characters are changed, the movie is still following canon perfectly.  Stupid people must be smacked.

best live action film based on anime was city hunter starring jackie chan!! (I am joking..)
This scene rules all:
Jackie Chan is Chun Li

[Kardrack]

Blue wins a box of cookies.  And the movie would have been better if they cast Jackie as Roshi or something.  Yeah he could probably play a perverted old martial artist pretty well.

WOOT COOKIES!!! \o/
