Come on, Chow Yun-Fat for Master Roshi? Chow Yun-Fat is so...not a dirty old man.
Could be good. It definitely won't be anything like the cartoon.
It seems like they just stole all the parts they wanted and made their own story.

The only part in this movie I like is when GOKU says KAAA! ME! HAAA! ME!!!! HAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!! And Piccillo looks bad ass to me, perfect actor to play him.

I love the DBZ series. Ya this movie may not be some masterpiece like Gladiator, but I still going to go see it. This second trailer looks a lot better than the teaser posted a few months ago.

Yeah...only TRUE fans put up the same comment 3 times. I agree with Phat, I am waiting for the DBZ movies. Also Bragg, Launch should make an appearance, but who would play her?

effects surely taken care of really carefully. I thought it would suck at first but god this will make me say damn it's gonna be good in effects.
I surely can't wait for this one, honestly only for the effects nothing else. I was not a fan of the anime but I guess I will start watching it sometimes soon. I dunno It seems nice. fun, entertaining.

I could give a shit less if it follows the DB story to be honest.. All the fans really want is for it to get to DBZ as fast as possible because those will be the kickass movies..

i'll give it a chance, but it doesnt follow the dragonball story at all

i'm really deeply sorry guys, but i loved it. With the teaser, i was as septical as you but with THAT ... OMG ... the special effects looks like cartoon. It looks like they put the anime on film, literraly and about the dialogues, lets face it, dragonball isnt FUCKING SHAKESPEARE and never been. I'm sure it will not be the 2009 SAINT GRAAL but there is chance that it will be a fun adventure. And you know : it's all i want ... BTW i'm french, so i dont expect you give my opinion a lot of credit LOL

This looks good and all but it's just not Dragonball. Piccolo is the last enemy he faces in the Dragonball series. What the hell? And where Launch? Ha. I will see it, but I don't think it'll remind me of Dragonball.

December 11th, 2008 6:28am
Ok, starting to look good now, the first trailer made me lose a lot of faith in this film but this trailer restored some of my confidence. Finally Piccolo is green!!!lol glad to see that he's the way he should be. I also like the change in the title, although this is the third title they've had for the movie, the first one was Dragonball Z, then Dragonball, now Dragonball Evolution, I like it hope it turns out to be a good film, it looks like it just might be.

Still looks crappy to my appeal lol and so much like a b-kung fu movie lol it looks like Kung Pow with energy balls.

It just doesn't appeal to me as Dragon Ball any more
  (Delete)
December 11th, 2008 5:26am
yea cell, see how much it still resembles a B Kung Fu movie when they start blasting energy waves at each other.. cause I dont think I ever saw a Black Belt do that.

December 11th, 2008 5:18am
I could'ce sworn...

1. Kami created the Dragonballs for wishes
2. Master Roshi is a huge pervert
3. Goku is always happy
4. Goku never goes to school
5. Picillo doesn't look like the Mask
6. Bulma's hair is fully blue
7. Grandpa Gohan wasn't alive at this point.
and the biggest one of all!
8. GOKU HAS A TAIL! WHERE IS IT IN THIS!?

  (Delete)
December 10th, 2008 8:20pm
ok there is a God He is finally green!!! but Mai working for Piccolo??? She works for Pilaf and I don't think she ever has the power to look like other people. Well aleast Gohan( Grandpap) looks like his anime counterpart. this brought me back to a 50/50 ill wait a few days after it comes out.

They should be throwing bright energy balls and lasers, not delicate clouds of mist!
