REbirth Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 So what's worse? Dragon Ball Evolution or Street Fighter: Legend of Chun-li? I'm going to watch them both anyway, I love watching super uber craptasic movies. Quote
Kelsain Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 ...except Troll 2. And Turkish Star Wars. And "Manos": The Hands of Fate. I applaud your awful movie references. Given your taste, have you ever seen "Armageddon: The Final Challenge"? I recommend it for an awful movie viewing experience, but not alone or sober. I'm morbidly interested in seeing Dragonball. I never could stand the series, but this could be fun. Probably won't want to watch it sober, though. Quote
kanedaestes Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 Have we all forgotten the cinematic classic Fist Of The North Star???? Terrible terrible terrible film. Quote
VFTF1 Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 Went to see Marley and Me with the Girlfriend and kids and there was a Dragon Ball Z trailer. My girlfriend got this really worried look on her face like "oh no! Please God, tell me he's not going to drag me to see this" ... since I did drag her to see Transformers and will drag her to see Terminator Salvation and TF2 - I reassured her that I wouldn't take her to see this... My impression? Well - I was kind of pleased that people still make BAD movies, that it's not something that doesn't exist any more. It's just a typical B-type movie that sucks with a lot of ka-pow! action. I actually might see it - just need to get lots and lots of pop corn and be in the right (aka brain dead) mood for it.

areaseven Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 Wow...the movie must be so bad that people have stopped talking about it on this thread. BTW, is it worse than Stealth? Quote
Noriko Takaya Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 ...Stealth? Ooh, the name that must not be mentioned has arisen. By the way, I could have told you this movie would suck. It is Hollywood after all. Quote
Graham Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Both Dragon Ball Evolution and Legend of Chun Li have been getting terrible reviews here in HK. No plans to see either of them. Graham Quote
Einherjar Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 I now know how every other anime/manga based Hollywood movie is going to turn out. They learned nothing from Joel Schumacher. Quote
REbirth Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Does this movie even worth to download? Yes, if you want to watch something hilariously bad, I mean really really bad. Quote
Repiv_Onex Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 (edited) BTW, is it worse than Stealth? I actually thinks Stealth is a great movie. DB is a little better than Dark Rising(The 7th son of the 7th son, oh Crap). Edited March 23, 2009 by Repiv_Onex Quote
areaseven Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 Yeah, this scene's been played out thousands of times on YouTube, but it's still better than watching Dragon Ball: Evolution. Quote
Noriko Takaya Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 Yeah, this scene's been played out thousands of times on YouTube, but it's still better than watching Dragon Ball: Evolution. This is fracking great! Quote
sidearmsalpha Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 I saw the figures at Walmart last week. You would think that in these bad economic times, Bandai would have shelved this movie, but I guess they think there's enough of a fanbase for the animated series that will see the movie. I would rather they try and bring back Gundam figures to the US. Quote
Repiv_Onex Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 Yeah, this scene's been played out thousands of times on YouTube, but it's still better than watching Dragon Ball: Evolution. The exact same clip have been used on Macross(can't remember the content), can't remember whether I saw it here or on the Chinese forum, anyone has it? Back to topic, I watched DB with 2 friends in cinema, 1 of them actually think it's average, and the other think it's funny. I just it's really lame. Quote
yellowlightman Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 Friend of mine wanted to see this, so we went on the cheap movie day (1000yen). It was hilarious. Almost intentionally so. Certainly entertaining enough that I didn't feel like I wasted my money. I would wager that compared to other comic book adaptions, Dragonball is probably better than most. I certainly enjoyed it more than I enjoyed any super hero movie I've seen, but then I realize that Dragonball is a dumb comic and don't freak out because OMG IT'S NOT A FAITHFUL ADAPTION. The dumbest moment was probably when they listed Dragonball as a "graphic novel" in the credits. Bad enough that stupid label gets brought out for stuff like Watchmen, but for Dragonball? Give me a break. It's still a bad movie, but it could have been a lot worse... Just be thankful it wasn't done by the Japanese film industry. Quote

I can't believe Cartoon Network actually endorsed this movie and made it sound like it was the anime brought to life....big mistake CN, big mistake... Quote

I would rather they try and bring back Gundam figures to the US. in a perfect world. of course they'd also be able to sell macross in the US and Takara-Tomy would bring back zoids. Quote
Einherjar Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 (edited) I can't believe Cartoon Network actually endorsed this movie and made it sound like it was the anime brought to life....big mistake CN, big mistake... They did the same thing for the Ben10 and Speed Racer live movies, I think. I thought CN lost their anime cred with Toonami gone and Adult Swim faltering a bit? EDIT: Ladies and gentlemen, stay indoors on April 10th and at least a week after. Dragonball Evolution Doesn’t Need Reviews Btw, has anyone seen/participated in a fan riot before?

ruskiiVFaussie Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 (edited) Everyone remember Mortal Combat? .. my god it's so bad, the bastards played it on austar (pay) and i accidently landed on it flickin through channels. I doubt DB will be that bad, but i'll be not paying to see it thats for sure.. looks gumby. Edited April 5, 2009 by ruskiiVFaussie Quote
Warmaker Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 (edited) I still remember in the 90s my friend dragging me to see Mortal Kombat in theaters. It was bad, but considering its video game to movie predecessors, it was alright. The sequel however from what I heard was absolutely atrocious. My roommate when I was in Okinawa saw it. I laughed at him for doing so I also recall in 1998 during one summer day that my friend and I were debating which movie to watch on this certain weekend. Godzilla (Americanized one with Matthew Broderick) or Deep Impact. We ended up watching both Edited April 5, 2009 by Warmaker Quote

Einherjar Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 Just two more days until this turd comes around. With the strong emotions regarding the film, I hope the reaction from this will make an impact on the other anime and video game film productions being planned. Seriously, all the news about live adaptations are getting embarrassing. Quote

VF5SS Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 The movie's been out in Asia for a month. You can find screeners all over the net. It really is as bad as they say. It makes no sense without prior knowledge and is inept enough to make Wing Commander the movie look well executed. Quote
Keith Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 I'll stick with my copy of the Chinese Dragon Ball movie thank you very much! Quote
Bluemaxx Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 okay i haven't got much to do on my lunch break so i just spent the last 10 minutes reading about all this (well kinda, i didn't read in great detail) and i kinda want it back...... The one thing i don't think has been mentioned is the Guyer live action movie, i was so young and excited about it but i just felt dirty after seeing it..... And the DB movie looks just as bad!!!!!! I agree with graham, leave anime in its animated form! Quote
Cent Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 not sure if old here... but sequel green lit. http://dbthemovie.com/2009/04/08/sequel-greenlit/ wow.. why Quote
Graham Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 When this was shown here last month, I think it lasted about a week. Graham Quote
grss1982 Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 From What I've seen is various trailer in the net....there's no Vegeta. Sigh. No one gets to say OVER 9000!!!!! Quote
