Dragonball Movie 2008

It's fake, and if it isn't, it's gonna get trashed before it's released.
Face it, it's just out of our reality to ever see a real filmatisation of Dragon Ball.

I'm all for adapting when it comes to converting paper media on to the big screen. This is not an adaption though, going by that trailer the only thing dragonball about this film are the names of the characters.

The trailer is / was real, youtube link now says "This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Twentieth Century Fox "

You'd think but then they went and made Speed Racer, and Aeon Flux, and now DB. Which will be followed by more awful old anime movies.

transformers counts as the most decent anime movie iirc

But I could of sworn G1 Transformers wasn't anime.

sure it was, takara created it. go-bots was the american show. it was made by tonka.

The toyline was originally Japanese sure. There may even been a anime for them. But G1 that the movie was based on was American.

I wonder how the trailer for Akira starring DiCaprio will look. Just thinking about a live action Akira movie starring DiCaprio makes me cringe. He's a great actor but I don't see him for that role.

Wait WHAT! As Kaneda or Tetsuo?

Love the new Goku. Seeing how they did Justin, he'll make a great Super Saiyan when they get to the DragonBall Z movies.

The first Mortal Kombat movie was pretty good IMO.

Fvck the second though.

Besides Johnny Cage's death after 10 minutes of screen-time, would someone mind telling me why the second Mortal Kombat movie was bad?

I thought it was a decent movie.

I AM NOT DONE YET noooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. im not allways like this NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. i like to be onpen minded sometimes but this is to ... it to JUST noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

There's no need for all of that.

Anyway, has a new trailer been released?

Yeah, 1st MK- 9.5/10

2nd MK- 0/10.

Has a date for the premiere been announced yet?

SO, yeah...here's a test trailor I found....I don't think this is it.

Looks rather lame...

I seriously envisioned something else on this film. I don't mind the casting for Goku...he's okay and should do alright....probably better for the part than some. I don't mind what they've done with Piccolo...he doesn't look that bad.

However, the effects....

Maybe they aren't done, yet. I could have done much better with this film, and I'm an amature... Maybe they should have considered brining in a DBZ as a "vision" consultant to help bring this to llfe better.

I thought it was a decent movie.

For one, they tried to cram as many characters as they could from the movie, which was annoying since it was pointless as it essentially bastardized the characters, they turned them into no-names.

Baraka and Mileena are two good examples.

It made Shao Kahn and Raiden brothers, with Shinnok being the father, which was just stupid.

The plot was honestly just not good.

The character designs bothered me the most, Shao Kahn's in particular. He beared nearly no resemblance to his true self, even while wearing the full armor and helmet.

The fight scenes I admit though were not bad, nor was Kang's portrayal IMO.
