What could be worse than the upcoming Dragonball: Evolutions movie that will forever rape childhoods across the country this April? Well, how about the upcoming exclusive PSP game BASED on the movie?
Sounds absolutely fantastic right?[/sarcasm]
What really got me laughing was the Senior VP of Fox saying that the movie and game will only help grow the popularity of the one of the most successful manga series in the history of everything.
I mean really, don't these idiots realize they're doing nothing but confusing the people who've never heard of it, and severly pissing off every fan to the border of murderous rage?
Looking at the screens I would've said it was some bland generic fighter that would get ZERO attention, but because it's based of this terrible (please, we all know it'll be bad) picture "based" (more like destroying) the origional source material.
NOW LAUGH AT THE TERRIBLE SCREENS I DECREE!

- I wonder what's more degrading to the Dragonball name... the live movie or THIS.
I'd choose the movie X_X;;
Oh god it's Street Fighter The Movie the game all over again.

but even lamer because it's the game based on the movie based on the manga but having nothing to do with the manga whatsoever.
OH GOD!
*Barf*
And why are they fighting on Planet?
I have a better question, why is Bulma fighting?
That's even more messed up than Harry Potter 7's ending.
Hm, the only two movies I can think of that have PSP exclusives games are Rocky Balboa and 300.
The PSP is a dumping ground for when developers want to make a game based on a movie but they are lazier than usual. Glad I sold mine.
Looks like poop. Screw this, I'm going back to Shenron No Nazo.
WTH... master Roshi...
Oh hell...
Ok, at least tell me they can shoot energy beams.

All we know is the Kamehameha is in the movie (so I'm assuming it's in the game too).
However, knowing how badly this is going to be, it's probably going to suck.
Wow, I'm not even a Dragonball fanboy and I'm offended by this...
*coughs up blood*
Would it be bad to go see this movie just to laugh at it?
I don't know if I'll be able to sit through it, even though I've only not been able to sit through one movie, which was Batman and Robin.
The thing about these kinds of movies is that the creators always set themselves up for failure by underestimating the fanbase. I mean, if the series has been out for over a DECADE, you'd think they'd realize that people have already determined whether or not they're fans, and that the fans should be the target audience. But no; like Nintendo (only Nintendo's method has somehow worked), they think it's a good idea to target people who DON'T normally like this stuff and just hope that the fans are loyal enough to tolerate the changes.
As if the movie wasn't bad enough! x_x;
Why does fox hate anime? :(

I apparently saw it opening day, but I was a little kid, so I thankfully do not remember it. >_>
I watched it this summer, made it about twenty minutes in.

Longer than the Nostalgia Critic lasted before he went insane.
I saw it as a kid, but I was a stupid kid and liked anything Batman, regardless of what it was.
Sad to say Batman and Robin will probably be a better movie than this movie with the title Dragonball pointlessly slapped on top of it.

Seriously, I know the whole Dragon Ball/Dragonball Z storyline is pretty convoluted, but are they even making the movie with help from Bandai?

It may be convoluted but at least the main anime (excluding movies) it at least makes sense.
Nope, 20th Century Fox is doing this all by themselves...and it's blatantly obvious. I mean really they didn't get one story aspect correct in the trailer. The dragonballs were NOT made by sages, they were made by the namekians. Piccolo isn't entirely evil, he's the evil split of Kame. It was not an ancient evil. There was no eclipse. and for gods sake goku does NOT go to school! I could rant for hours on how this movie is just plain wrong (and where the hell is Krillin!?)
The sad thing is that someone wrote an article for my school newspaper listing the Top 10 Movies to Watch Out for in 2009.
Dragonball ranked #9.
I couldn't even believe that he ranked it in the first place!
I was dumbfounded by this.
The rest of the choices at least made sense...

To be fair, I would have put it on the list had I made it, possibly in another section, but with the commentary among the lines of:
"Even though I am not a Dragonball fan, Fox's adaptation of the famous Japanese manga/anime will probably be an entertaining film, although not in a good way. Based on the trailers, it will do nothing but enrage fans and confuse the public. Plan to see it only if you are a Dragonball fan that can laugh at inaccuracies caused by confused network execs that never bothered to read the manga or even watch the anime. Look for it in 2009 all right, but only on the list of future Razzie nominations."
I'm going to rent Mortal Kombat for preparation of this crap-fest.

This will either be an unfortunate success like Disaster Movie or one of the biggest critical and box office bombs ever.

I'd go for "unfortunate success." As much as they've screwed things up for fans, I'm sure it will still be a decent movie for those who aren't familiar with Dragonball. I think that should be the mentality you all should have when seeing this movie: that it is a totally new concept, and any names of people or places synonymous with the anime/manga are complete coincidence.

Then why bother getting the license!? Make your own darn origionality instead of leeching off of someone else's work...like Godzilla 98.
A perfect example of what I'm saying is "The Lion King". Yea, it's pretty copy/paste of Kimba the White Lion, but they made everything different instead of blatantly copying.

No. Just no.
Even if it was a completely original movie, the movie doesn't even look decent.

Technically, Lion King was based on Hamlet. And I actually like Godzilla 98 (I guess I'm just more tolerant of movies).

Lion King=Hamlet
Lion King 1/2=Rosencrance and Guildenstern are Dead
Lion King 2=Romeo and Juliet
Sure, they aren't EXACT copies (having literally every major character in LK1 die wouldn't go well with the kiddies), but if you really pay attention, those are what they're based on.
