Someone Claims To Have Seen a Resent Draft of The Movie!

I am a huge fan of your site and constantly visit here but this will be my first time emailing you about something. I love geek movies because there is nothing better than a well made geek movie. Well after watching the 95-100 minutes (excluding credits) of the movie i say this movie was solid. Ya you heard that right. I simply love the anime but I was very very nervous about it being made by fox. After all the studio has been making nothing but shit lately. Another reason why I was worried about this movie is that the director is James Wong who made final destination 1 & 3 and The one starring Jet Li. What I watched had unfinished sfx and with no scoring done yet. Also… they will be adding one or two scenes which will be shot sometime end of october.

Now let me list the positives of this movie

1) Action - I wasn’t expecting the action scenes to be as awesome as they were. Simply put the best thing about this movie. The last action scene of Goku vs. Picollo are simply amazing and when picollo takes out his huge fucking ass sword with weird rectangle shape tablet attached it at the tip of sword and slamming it on goku was fucking awesome. Lot of blowing shit up, super cool flying scenes, awesome ki blasts. This fight scene was around 13-15 minutes long. There are other small action scenes that are fun and entertaining with slo mo but nowhere as good as the picollo vs. goku scene.

2) James Marsters as Picollo was awesome. He was perfect as picollo. Very mean and a villain that makes you say fuck ya kick all their asses. Oh and Picollo transforms into a light greenish color picollo towards the end of the movie.

3) Justin Chatwin as Goku. This guy surprised me a lot. I really didn’t like him when they casted him as goku but he did a damn good job in the acting department and he nailed the KAMEHAMEHA line.

4) Oozaru - the giant monkey is in the movie. Goku turns into a 8-9 feet tall giant baboon when he looks at the moon. It was awesome looking though a bit CGI. Maybe they will fix it later.

5) Emmy Rossum as Bulma- She was really really good in this role. I liked how she never acted like a wimpy girl and eventhough she knows she can’t win against the evil forces yet she kicks ass. A strong female role I will say.

6) Fullum Assasins - I thought adding these monsters were bad idea but they were pretty damn cool and there was an enitre scene where Goku and his friends fight these monsters and that fight scene was pretty damn good.

7) Joon Park as Yamcha was pretty cool. His acting was spot on like the character and they showed some cool fighting techniques of his. The fight scene between him and goku was good.

Negatives

1) Story - Dragonball fans will be dissapointed with some of the changes they have made with stories and characters etc. Krillin isn’t in the movie, Tien isn’t in the movie too. High school setting for the first 22-23 minutes was so not needed but ah well typical hollywood garbage of adding bullshit like that.

2) Jamie Chung as Chi Chi - Ya this was another casting i didn’t like and my worst fears came true. Her acting is as bad as Jessica Alba’s in F4 movies but thankfully her screentime isn’t that big. I really wished they could have tried harded to find someone else. I hope for sequel she can improve if there is one of course.

3) Chow Yun Fat as Master Roshi - I was dissapointed with this. I wanted the fucking perverted roshi who fucking grabs breasts and asses like in the anime but alas all of that is fucking gone. Also he acted like Mr. Kesuke Miyagi. You know what I mean. The lines he spoke were fine but I felt he was uncomfortable in the movie. Very dissapointed.

4) Shenron the dragon - Ah another huge dissapointment. This is like sentinel in X3 all over again. FUCK FUCK FUCK you fox. So ya they get all the dragonballs and the dragon appears but the dragon is hiding behind fucking clouds and you only see his shadow. The voice of the dragon was provided by none other than Christopher Sabat who provided the voice for the dragon in the american version of the anime. When the dragon spoke it was chilling but damnit it was hiding behind clouds. One can hope they will fix this but chances of that are very slim.

5) Eriko Tamura as Mai was underused character and frankly speaking if that is what their intention was to underuse her then they might as well have not added this character and just added more picollo. Her moments were cool and she basically was there to show her nice boobies but ya she was kinda wasted.

Overall, I would give the movie a 6.5/10 simply because i was expecting disaster but it turned out better. The positives I mentioned coupled with some cool funny goku moments like eating a massive turkey etc. were hilarious. If only Master Roshi was perverted and Shenron was visible I would have given this 9 but ah well they messed up there. Hopefully they will fix shenron as they still have 5 months to movie’s release but if not then well fuck you to fox and james wong. But in all seriousness I am glad it aint the disaster I thought it would be. Hopefully you guys will post this. Thank You.

I didn't get right, you watched the draft or someone else?...and if you did, where?

btw... No matter how cool, awesome and great scenes may look in the movie, that surly can't replace the things,which makes dragonball what it is, our favorite...and those things are the "feel" that is produced by that unique dragonball's atmosphere witch movie dont have at all

I think I should have stopped reading right here...

@Sephi, I think you couldn't tell it better And yes this is someone else's thoughts that Portgas D. Ace just posted here(if I am right ?)

Yep, this is someone eles's review. Honestly it really didn't say much of what we didn't already know. I'm afraid to say this b/c I could just turn out to happen but judging by everything we've seen I'm now getting the feeling that they are going to make Vegeta the star football player at the rival high school or something.

^OOOH NO NO! AAAAAAGGGHHHHH NO NO NOOOOO NOT AGAIN! PLEASE STOP NO!!! DAVID BECKHAM AS VEGETA!!!! I ALREADY DREAM THAT EVERY NIGHT AND I CAN'T GET IT OUT OF MY HEAD!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! PLEASE STOP IT HURTS SO MUCH NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why am I whining anyways...? this movie is total nightmare coming true already...but....anyways - AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

By any chance have you guys seen this clip yet.

Why is Toriyama's name on there? Since he isn't invovled with the fim,or are they just crediting him for writing the manga.

I think he meant, American Football, not real Football.

Yeah but anyway, its point is that "he's pooopulaaar and girls likeee hiiim and all sorts of snobby trendy pop culture crap!!!!"
sorry people I know you heard those words many times from me but I hate that pop culture so much :/ and objectively IT JUST FREAKING DOES NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE VEGETA NOR DB IN GENERAL! its even opposite of DB....THIS is crappy world! DB/Z world is beautiful!

FAKE. No really, I called it awhile ago. Basically the guy who wrote this (DON) just used info that we know already and threw in a few fibs based on his fears (he doesn't want Shenron to turn out like the Sentinel from X3 or Galactus from F4 so he put that in to warn Fox not to do that). Basically he's all full of crap.

Of course thats what I thought from beginning...Just trying to hype up true DB fans...which is impossible
