The Dragonball movie

Postby Thoul » Wed Dec 5, '07, 8:34 am

So anime fans, have you heard of the live action Dragonball movie that's in the works? What are your thoughts on this? Does it have the potential to be a box office smash or will it fall flat? Could it start a wave of live action adaptations of other anime?

I didn't hear about that! But I believe its going to be a bit lame, the series was way too long to make a movie about it. Its gonna be like the series of Unfortunate Events movie, only going to give you a piece of it and then not giving another for years.
Everything has a pattern. Something set. Even random things. They aren't random at all, its complex mathematics. The trick is to find the pattern. Then you can exploit it.

People think things have a certain end. Taxes. Work. Due dates don't really exist. Trust me. When you put a band of world scholars in the same room, and set them on talking about anything, the most interesting topics come up. The existence of negative time. The probability of "random occurrence". The government's involvement in the media. And falsified due dates. They aren't real, trust me....

I'm with Sparky here; I don't see how this movie could be good at all. To fit Dragonball or DBZ into a two hour movie, they'll have to cut out a ton of story. Even if it's just a single arc from the anime, that's too much to fit in.

Say, is it going to be based on Dragonball (when Goku was a kid) or Dragonball Z (when he was an adult)?

I'm sorry, I honestly laughed when I read that it's going to be some live action movie. :mrgreen:

It's totally ridiculous, really... Recycled plot and storyline, and this time with computer animated effects like giant unrealistic energy balls flying around and destroying everything with little effort. :D

Oh, and they can all fly like Superman! Yeah...that'll be so cool. Imagine the battles in mid-air... :roll:
