Super Napalm Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 So yeh, they've added A SUPER HYPER COOL new word onto the title. Trailer over at IGN At least Piccolo looks green in this trailer, plus theres a Kamehameha (only the chargeup though). I'm still unsure whether this will rock or utterly fail.

duckythemutant Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Yeah, I saw this earlier today. I think it looks like uber crap but hey don't take my word for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Rat Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 It will suck. I'm not much of a DBZ fan, but I liked DB, and the fact that Goku acts like your typical American teen sucks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rael0505 Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 I love Justin Chatwin, but that doesn't stop me from thinking this will be completely terrible. God, it looks so corny. I fuckin' grew up with DBZ. Don't mistreat it this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Why is Goku all serious? What happened to the goofy little kid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Rat Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Why is Goku all serious? What happened to the goofy little kid? He went to High School. No, seriously, he goes to High School in the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron C-T Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Granted, I never really kept up with the serious, but from what I saw Dragonball/Dragonball Z were always kind of corny/awkward/overly-dramatic. And being that Chatwin's so old, I wouldn't expect him to act like the kid with the tail, hopping all over the place. That being said, this looks nothing like what I remember of the show. It could just be that I didn't watch it enough and it's actually an accurate portrayal of how the serious would be if it were applied to our modern-day world, or it could just be general crazy stuff the higher-ups thought it'd be cool to throw in. Oh, also, the chick playing Bulma, uh, Jamie Chung- I'd smash that. Squirrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 So far, from what I've looked up, this has NOTHING to do with the original story, other than that Piccolo is the bad guy. That's it. Everything else has been totally, completely re-written. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ligar Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 1.) "I'm not ready for this" The whole fabric of the DB space time continuum would rip to shreds if the real Goku ever said that. 2.) Justin Chatwins Kamehameha battle cry = beyond epic fail to the point of being epic lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me put it this way - it's exactly like what Sonic Team is doing to Sonic. Sonic's always been corny/silly, but recent attempts at making Sonic storylines overly dramatic result in utter failure. They're trying way too hard and failing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron C-T Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Yeah, for sure, I don't doubt that at all. It looks.. looks like it's supposed to be epic, basically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tentril Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Serious Goku? I think I may cry. Especially because I will still watch this most likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ espeed Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Ever notice how this follows the generic action/epic stereotype? And I do agree that this movie will be shit and I will add that it will be a box-office bomb because of it's betrayal of the original story-line. Akira must be mad right now.

Herotokami Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 This is horrible. I saw nothing at all resembling DB or DBZ. The fights look too generic. http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermovies/293116.html http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermovies/293212.html These are better.

Aaron C-T Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 I'm probably the odd-ball here for saying this, but I didn't think the Scooby Doo movies were horrible. I felt like they were rather faithful to the tone of the show, and some of the actors were well-fitted (the guy who played Shaggy). I think quite a few people generally enjoyed the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies, and I think, at the time, a lot of Power Rangers fans appreciated that movie. Though I don't fully recollect those. The way they did the fights in the link Herotokami posted, should be used in the movie, only done better. The videos themselves aren't that great, but the technique and style is, if that makes any sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen this "3rd Installment" that you've mentioned, Spike. I think it was a TV movie that aired on Cartoon Network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 I said "if" they made one. I have no idea. I thought I heard about a third one once, but I guess not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
