Let me also state that I am in no way a fan of anything that is remotely Dragonball-related. But seeing this is still painful for me. Watching this trailer was STILL as uncomfortable as watching the trailers for "Master of Disguise" or "Meet the Spartans".
And hell, I'm not even some artsy fartsy prude who despises stupid movies. One of my most anticipated upcoming movies is Black Dynamite, which is sure to be stupid as hell.
Hating this trailer has NOTHING to do with being mad that the Dragonball franchise wasn't given the proper treatment. This trailer is embarrassing to watch because it's just plain AWFUL. And unlike other stupid movies such as Black Dynamite here, I don't see anything in this trailer that makes it look like it'll be the least bit enjoyable even on a Gremlins 2 level (which, despite being stupid as hell, is by far one of the most enjoyable sequels ever made).

For a big budget film, the effects look sub-par...at least, judging from what's in the trailer. I don't even think the studio has any faith in this movie. If it did, It would open sometime during the summer season, instead of the tail end of winter. As as far as Black Dynamite....Michael Jai White as a '70s Blaxploitation hero. What's not to love? I hope it gets a release date soon.I like the scene where he and Roshi are fighting on the wire. That actually looked cool.
Other than that, lulz. I'll probably see this with some friends.

That wasn't Roshi, that was Grandpa Gohan.

It is stupid how young roshi is.
Wah... wait what the hell did I just watch? I get the feeling Fox created this movie without watching a single episode of Dragonball, DBZ, or GT.subrosian
I wouldn't be surprised.
[QUOTE="40ozbastard"]PETA would have a field day with that one.Fox needs to make a live action pokemon movie.

Oh I have got the perfect thing for PETA. Samuel Jackson, The star of the movie who happens to be the only thing PETA is afraid of.
POKEMON MOTHER F****R DO YOU CATCH EM?
Couldn't you just picture him yelling that?

Are you ever in the movie theater with your girlfriend and a particularly bad trailer comes on? And the two of you sit there in stunned horror watching it. And when the trailer is over, you can't even look over at them and say "man, that looks like crap." Because that would be acknowledgeing that the two of you actually saw it, and what you saw is so embarrasing that it feels like a crime to have actually seen it. And all you can do is say nothing, and pretend that you DIDN'T really just see that.

I thought he was dead? Eh. I haven't cared about the DB franchise in years.
Looks like a generic martial arts movie with a Dragon Ball license slapped on to sell tickets.
*edit: And why the hell is Chow Yun-Fat playing Roshi? Roshi is supposed to be a perverted old man, did they even try with the casting?
I have been a Dragonball fan for over 11 years, so needless to say I'M PISSED! :evil:
The sad part is I know my friends are going to drag me to see it, and while they'll be laughing, I'll probably be the one crying on the inside...
He doesnt even wear his turtle shell.[QUOTE="Kikouken"][QUOTE="the_foreign_guy"]Fox ruins everything. And why does Master Roshi not look like Master Roshi. I didn't even sense anything perverted about him.DJSAV_101
and he has hair!?! 0_o
WHAT!!
No white beard, no sunglasses, probably doesn't even wear sandals.....Looks like a generic martial arts movie with a Dragon Ball license slapped on to sell tickets.

Of course not. I wouldn't even be surprised if they based the movie on a brief summery.
