'Dragonball' Trailer is Finally Here
Friday, October 3, 2008 at 5:22PM
Going back several months now, we've wondered about what
the finished product of
Dragonball would look like.
James
Marsters, who plays Lord Piccolo in the film,
said publicly that it
won't include a lot of things fans of the original series may want; sometimes,
it just works out that way when you have so much story to fit in.
Then there's the casting, and while there has been some
support for
Justin Chatwin as Goku and
Emmy Rossum
as Bulma, I'd say the majority clearly believes they've made mistakes with at
least these two roles. At least that's the dialogue that I've seen here.
There is finally a good version of the first teaser
trailer for Dragonball, and although it looks a little bit like, say, the
movie version of Street Fighter, I think overall it shows some promise.
Take a look for yourself.
Dragonball will be in theaters on April 10th.

I think this film will be a big let down to all Dragonball (Z) fans everywhere, it will probably just be an ordinary hero film.
I meen look at Piccolo, last time i checked he was green =S
and Goku, wasnt he headstrong when it come to his ability's? Yet in this trailer he says "I'm not ready for this"
This film will be a joke, but then again i might be wrong
I hope i am
Look this is based on dragonball, before green piccolo was even born. Yes i still think that they should have made dragonball z with vegeta as the villian, because the dragonball series was boring. Piccolo was born from when goku punched LORD PICCOLO in the stomach and then an egg came out of his mouth and there green piccolo was born. The green piccolo became a good guy. This movie is based on goku's training with master roshi, which means before dragonball z and before meeting and marrying chi chi. So all you fans of Dragonball Z don't judge this movie based on Dragonball Z because its not about that, but before that, known as simply Dragonball OKAY. GET OVER IT - -THERE IS NO VEGETA, NO GREEN PICCOLO, NO GOHAN, NO TRUNKS, NO NAPPA----JUST S.H.I.T (i.e. Super Hero In Training). This Super hero is Goku.
skip to 55 secs and pause the screen. piccolo is green.
I saw it in about 720p quality and it looks great.
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww it just had to be USA made to be so disgusting.... you've just killed dragon ball, thank you so much...
WHAT?! .................i hope it wont be a shiity movie please! x_x
I think This Dragonball movie is another independent movie.(It is not a Dragonball from Japanese animation)
If action and other great scene from animation parts are in Movie, I'm not sure what will be.
Anyway, I will pray that movie will success.
yea i was trying to have faith that it would be good, but after watching that trailer it looks like crap. i'm really disappointed, it doesn't even look like they got the fighting right. that was the one thing i think they could have translated and would have worked just fine, but no. they had to screw it all the way! awesome.
This not the finised product, this teaser is 5 months old!! Do you think they place the names of character in final trailer?
This clip for film expositions thast was leaked by someone.
Damn.....what the..??
They gotta be kidding!such a nice story wasted in a 2 hour movie!!
this must be crap.the innocent little boy Goku over 20 years old???give me a break the movie must be a lie.
Its propably made just for making easy money,making people who have read or seen dragonball(the real one) spend their money for trash
I REALLY dont like the concept of them making a Dragon Ball movie. It's going to destroy the whole plot, i mean come on piccolo is GREEN. DARK GREEN!!! and even if it was KING PICCOLO he was DARK GREEN! Goku seems nothing as he did in the cartoon, master roshi? GOD i feel this movie is gonna suck, i hope not and i really hope they dont change the storie to an action packed, car destroying, building blowing piece of $#1^. I mean come on, BULMA WITH GUNS!?!?!?!
i feel dissapointed, they always got to screw up good things......
:'(
I will keep hope, but really, Piccolo is green, always has been, was it really so hard to make a green Piccolo? Also his outfit is not right again, not a hard thing to get right and why change it? Goku's outfit looks good, I'm sure he will not be the same character we know and love, but at least he will look right.
lol goku will look right??
COME ONE GOKU IS 12 IN THE SERIES!
and they put him in school??? they just changed everything about Dragon ball. To me, it isnt dragon ball.
Everybody round the world, especially the Japanese, are officiall pissed and swears to boycott this atrocity.
And besides, those who say Piccolo in the show isn't green are retards who never watched it, and the ones who say the Piccolo in the trailer turns green are colorblind
Dammit James Marsters, once upon a time I loved you (in a [mostly] patonic fashion), why are you so dead set on making me hate you?
Chow Yun Fat as Roshii did not look very much like the pervert I know and love. If he doesn't have a hoard of nudie mags somewhere it'll be a crime against us all.
Goku with doubts is ridiculous, and even when he does have doubts, he soldiers right on anyway, he doesn't whine and cringe. Just what I fucking needed, emo Goku.
In summation: I reserve final judgement until I've seen the movie, I try always not to prejudge things, and there's the chance of reedits and reshoots to fix some of the problems the Fox Marketing people must be reading all over the net(FIX THEM YOU FUCKERS, YOU'RE READING THIS I NKOW YOU ARE! FIX THEM!) but if the movie isn't much, much better than this trailer makes it out to be, James Wong(why the fuck did they get the guy who did "Final Destination 3" and "The One" on this!?) had best start looking for somewhere to hide out over the next few years.
the idiot that says lord piccolo is not green needs to chek again cos the last time i checked my games and the episodes he looked pretty green to me
The movie is being marketed towards more people than just us. A lot more. In order to appeal to a wide enough range of audiences, changes in appearances have been made, otherwise a lot of people would peg it "a silly, crappy-looking kids' movie" at first glimpse and BAM, there goes a huge percentage of the audience, and major profits lost.
over-obsessed fans, are not just the only people who might stress over these changes, we're the only people who even notice or care. And guess what, we are a very SMALL percentage of the general population
The "general public" does not have the same deep-rooted attachment to and obsession with the series as fan do. So instead of constantly ragging on and criticizing the creators for "getting it wrong," we should at least try to understand the reasoning behind these changes
to the stupid fuck who wrote the last post on 12 oct,dragonball is being made for the general public,fine!so was harry potter,spiderman,superman,batman,etc.it doesnt mean that batmans suit was blue coloured or superman was green or harry potter was blak! piccolo is green so he shuld be GREEN.bulma withj GUNS????what the fuck were they thinking?
dragonball is fukin boring,they shud have made dragonball z directly,the uking retards!!!
