‘Dragonball’ Trailer Released

Check out the new trailer for Dragonball!!!

Synopsis via Wiki: Goku (Justin Chatwin) goes on a journey to find Master Roshi (Chow Yun-Fat) and gather the seven mystical Dragon Balls before the evil Lord Piccolo (James Marsters) can. Along his way, he meets Bulma (Emmy Rossum) who then joins him to help him in his mission. When arriving at Roshi’s place, he is not welcomed with an embrace but has to fight Roshi. Roshi soon learns that Goku is the grandson of Gohan (Randall Duk Kim) and thus trains him to prepare him for the ultimate battle with Lord Piccolo to prevent him from collecting the powerful Dragon Balls.

Dragonball is expected to hit theaters April 8, 2009.

I LOVE DRAGON BALL! I really wish the movie doesn’t ruin the successful dragon ball franchise :(

By the way, that white dude’s grandpa is the keymaker guy from Matrix? uhhhh ok.

# 4

Oh god, I just watched the trailer.. wtf?! It doesn’t capture the feel of the earlier part of the series.. where Goku was younger, had that monkey tail, and was a ‘clueless’, innocent country kid who was just so loveable!

Ahhh I’m disappointed already!!!

…damn, this movie looks so cheap ~n~ cheesy. all the characters are wrong, the whole dragon ball world/ story line is fcuked. LOL what were they thinking?!?
.
;this reminds me of jean-claude van damme’s street fighter! and that’s not a good thing.

It doesn’t look as bad I thought but I wouldn’t pay money to go see it in theaters. But Justin is hot : )

# 8

Sorry have to agree with comment 2.

# 9

umm imma only see it cuz of justin

Looks like one of those bad Wachowski Bros movies like Speed Racer, but I’m waiting for a live action Naruto movie, but Gatchaman will do also

I will see it! My son used to love to watch Dragonball. He will defiantly be stoked on seeing this movie! :D

WTF horrible, looks like a cheap B movie that will end in a direct to video batch.
Oh wait, it will actually be released in cinemas.. *facepalm*

I’ve seen white people with (adopted) asian kids, but never Asians adopting white kung fu kids!! A white kid named GO(H)-KU played by Justin Chatwin. WTF??? And WTH??? STAY AWAY FROM OUR MY *** POP CULTURE YOU CRACKERS!!!

That looks so bad. :( Too bad they had to fcuk up the story.

I agree, it’s like watching Street Fighter with Jean Claude Van Damme.

The stupid *** stars are covering my J.A.P comment!! I’m Japanese for f*cks sake! FAAAWCK you JJ and your stupid censoring!!

The only positives I see is that the girls look better than the cartoon girls… What were they thinking? This is beyond disappointing. What a joke…

All I have to say is: Lmao!!

this is going to the theatres? really?! It looks like a christmas tv movie for the kids.
Don’t destroy my favorite anime serie of all the time please…

Justin looks hot!!! I use to like this stuff but i grew out of it. But justin is hot so i might see it. Btw, where is trunks or whatever. I remember he used to be my favorite!!

ive always hated it, its so stupid
all they do is scream like they’re constipated
**** dbz

OMG! I was a huge Dragonball fan as a kid, this looks really stupid but I’ll probably see it anyway XD

fashion smashion @ 12/10/2008 at 7:56 pm

hmmmm looks lame

fashion smashion @ 12/10/2008 at 7:56 pm

hmmmm looks lame

awful cast and movie

Such a disappointed, justin will ruin Goku :-(

7 mystics? WTF MAN! was the Namekians who created them why are there 7 mystics for gods sake!

GRAH! RUINED!

Super Mario Bros. (1993) and Double Dragon (1994) look more high budget than this awful & boring preview. Don’t get me wrong, I love me some EMMY, JUSTIN, YUN-FAT and JAMIE (MTV’s: The Real World), but this doesn’t make me want to watch the movie. I mean, all I’ve seen from X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE are some promos and I’m already dying to watch it… and I ain’t even a JACKMAN fan! I don’t know, maybe I’m just hating cuz I never really liked Dragonball to begin with, I was more of a Sailor Moon fanatic, LMAO!!

o god they ruin the chances of making the dragonball z sequel. talk bout bad acting n cheesy. looks shite

Excuse me while I go throw up in my mouth.

How funny. Because of my soon-to-be-23-years-old son, I know all of these names from his childhood.

I used to watch ths show when I was younger my cousin’s forced me and i grew to like it now what is this ****! seriously this is the best they could do they should have kept it close to the original i mean no offence but a white dude name Goku HA! the girl who plays Bulma looks fierce so I would give the movie a chance

the trailer looks horrible.

wtffffffffff …. they’ve got EVERY concept and character wrong, specially roshi. dragonball was such a cool part of my childhood and now they f*cked it all for me… ASSH*OLES.

WHY IS HE WHITE?

Asian, Asian, Asian, Hot Asian, Old Asian, Asian, WHITE, Green Dude, Asian. WTF?

WTF at Bulma not having blue hair.

They coulda had Emmy put a wig on, if Miley Cyrus can do it she can too.

Oh cool, you actually posted my request!
Although it is now called “Dragonball Evolution”.
=)

I think everyone feels obliged to pan. It isn’t half a bad as all that. The trailer barely tells anything other than it being an action movie.

joneblaze @ 12/11/2008 at 7:03 am

Looks terrible should go straight to DVD

They got the Dragon Ball world completely wrong.
This really looks like one of those bad asian movies
from the eighties

omg dragonball is a goddamn comedy, not some angsty movie featuring a very good-looking goku dammit i hate hollywood

Anastacia @ 12/11/2008 at 1:40 pm

that’s kind of funny XD

… but it looks lame too

how cool would it be, if Hollywood would remake SAILOR MOON!!! :)
it was my fav. anime^^

Goku sucks. What the heck with his hair. The movie looks so lameeee.

they ruined the series, and if they make bulma goku’s love interest i’m going to hate it more, where’s chichi?

o-mg...w.T.f?? @ 12/11/2008 at 8:24 pm

OMG… That looked soo bad… nothing like the original….
even freaking street fighter with jean claude looked better than this piece of poop…. Horrible

I think the kids will dig it. Definitely.

My good god…
They just absolutely ruined Dragonball, I mean some of the cast is OK. But Goku? I mean no offense to Justin, but he just doesn’t suit the role.
The rest of the cast look OK + I can’t really judge the plot until I see it, but as of now it all looks so incredibly cheesy + something that shouldn’t be in the cinemas, which really is a shame considering Dragonball is such an amazing anime… =(

I’ll say it again: Disappointing casting and I hope it fails

This movie looks like crap. I was already upset bulma doesn’t have blue hair, but looking at the trailer…thats the least of their problems.

im a fan and this is terrible.

im a fan and this is terrible.

wackystan @ 12/16/2008 at 1:57 am

lame movie, not the cartoon though, lam kung fu m where’s the hair?

oh goodness i LOVEEEEEE Drgaonball, i grew up watching that show. thats how i learned japanese,watching every single episode…not like anyone cares haha but I’M EXCITEDD

truthshallgiveuproblems @ 02/18/2009 at 1:25 pm

this movie bites, roshi is suppose to be bald and really short and all hunchbacked with red glasses (perverted also), where the hell is krilin? plus goku in this story line is supposed to be a kid (very small), bulma without hair color looks lame as hell, bottom line this movie changes the story ruinin the original DB series. it aint funny, like a lot of ppl say: it rapes our childhood. we grew up on this stuff so we know the story line, we can imagine the characters but i guess the director didnt catch the fans wave cuz he ruined the movie, i wont even try to see the real thing cuz it looks really lame!
