Why? Just why do it? Somebody please tell me why!

O.O
It's the first ever live action movie? That's quite an accomplishment!

So is this based off of Dragonball, or Dragonball Z?

I honestly never watched either, but innit Goku supposed to be a tiny child in DragonBall?

Next Battlefield Earth, you heard it here first.

dragon ball z fans = owned

This is supposed to be the original Dragon Ball series. This is going to be terrible, makes me feel ashamed to be a DB fan.

I imagine the audio would actually make it more laughable. 

hey, if katsimoto is in this movie (last samurai) im watching the basturd.

so i heard you like dragon BALLS..........

That looked nothing like Dragon Ball. Really, who thought this would be a good idea?

Looks terrible.

It's sad to see Emmy Rossum getting herself involved in something like this. The girl may have a promising career ahead of her as long as she stays away from this kinda junk.

That looked awesome!  And by awesome, I mean terrible... what the hell is Chow-yun-fat doing in this?  I mean does he REALLY need to be in some terrible anime-to-live action movie.  Eh, I guess I should... reserve... my judgement.  Afterall, Death Note (live-action movie, part 1&2) was amazing.  But that was actually Japanese.  Not some american take on japanese manga.

This movie is either going to be amazing or a crap sandwich, there is no in between. So far from what I see it looks like they're baking that bread for the sandwich.

Thas looks nothing at all like the series, i am very dissapointed.

As a huge DBZ fan, this really pissed the fuck outa me.
This movie, is an insult."

Behold the movie that will take away all of TheDark Knight's thunder!

Shouldn't you all be smarter than this?

Sorry, but "it doesnt look liek teh series!!!11", does that say anything about the quality of the movie? I too find the casting and designs laughable, from a fanboy perspective, but honestly. "Dragonball" and "Dragonball Z" are cheap series of B-movie quality dialogue and design. This movie seems to be just that - only it's a different design. That doesn't make it any more idiotic. If anything, it should tell you that the director doesn't want to just illustrate the material that is already there (movies that stay too close to the source material almost always fail), and that maybe, just maybe, the people involved know how to use the medium film to tell a nice story.  I say: What was interesting and pleasant about the series can't even be transferred to a two-hour movie, even if they did stay close to the original design. It certainly wasn't good writing or good cinematography that made me watch DBZ.

Granted, chances are high this will be crap. But the fact that it doesn't look exactly like the series is no indicator of that. Just like how close a book adaption is to the original story is no indicator of the movie's quality.

why is goku white. first off you can't make a DB movie unless its an anime. next you don't turn it into mortal kombat. 100% TRASH!

I hope whoever greenlighted this crap got dragged into the street and shot.

it looks like a trainwreck - when is it out

trainwreck movies are a must see!

people seem to forget the 1980s live action dragon ball movie

Yay, the real things look shittr then any of the fan made stuff!

This had already been announced some time ago. It has a GREAT chance of being terrible, but I have a little hope it might be fun just because the director is Stephen Chow, and he's awesome.

Here's the trailer with audio and better picture quality.  Yes, it's supposed to be based more in the world of original Dragonball than anything from GT or Z.  Nonetheless...that doesn't mean the movie won't suck balls...namely because DB, DBGT, and DBZ all suck balls, along with most anime.  So, hope you all enjoy:

That looked like Mortal Kombat with a dragonball in a snapshot.

Where the FUCK did you hear that lie?  Stephen Chow wouldn't associate himself with this bullshit.  Besides, he's too busy working up for being Kato and directing Green Hornet!!!

Dragonball is being directed by James Wong, famous for BRILLIANT movies like Final Destination, Final Destination 3, and The One, as well as producer for Willard.

some guy that smoked too much pot"

OMFG!!! Say it isn't so!!

This is going to be in the So Horrible It's Good dept.

Although I don't want to encourage anyone paying money to see it.

There wasn't enough standing in one place grunting and screaming. Horrible.

Well the casting is euuhh, the euh . . . . The end is near people, the end is near. This is almost as tragic as when . . . . . . .
Well whatever, somedy up there talked about DB being B - movie is right, only this film is taking itself so fucking seriously.
Well it's not as if I was hoping this was going to be any good but . . . . yeah it's gonna suck balls.

I'll probably see it anyway. ;-P
