this is a really interesting topic. these boards are positive towards the movie but in other places such as imdb.com people whine about the movie. but what is so bad about DB going real? i thought i was an anime fan but this proves i am far from it...or this guy is strangely obsessed. "i need comfort because every day the bs fan boy hype that pretends its being made makes a part of dbz die, and i die with it - i need to believe its not true, or i'll go mad" i won't mention who wrote that but you can find out on imdb.com/title/tt0417613/board/nest/10128885. Personally i think this film should be excellent if taken in the right direction. These guys don't know much about movie making but i want to know what everyones opinion in this board is. The quote above is an example of the haters

Well, there's no way to know if the movie will be good or not...we just have to see it...but if it's good, I'd be extremely happy. I think it's stupid that some people say the movie will suck as if that were a fact...who the hell do they think they are? you can't bash on something you haven't even seen... Anyways, even though I hope to see this movie, I know it will take hard work and time to make it as great as the anime....

I only can say these people are "hatting" the movie before it production.
This is because when they talk about DBZ movie, they think about Street Fighter and the japanese version of Dragon Ball the movie (I believe it subtitle is "The magic begins", or something).
C'MON! Think about it: When these movies were filmed, didn't exist the technology that RITE NOW exist. (Look at the Matrix and LOTR: If these movies were filmed with that old technologie, they could suck).
Rite now exist excellent effects, good actors and amazing locations (Australia, South America, etc), and the DBZ live action will be a franchise of loooooooooong movies, so they doesn't need to change too much things.
My question to these people: What's your fear?

I would really hope that Fox puts some resources into this movie. We have all been waiting for quite some time and for this movie to turn out into some "Street Fighter" would be a major disappointment. In my opinion, this is why this movie has taken so long. IF you are going to make something out of Dragonball you have to do it right.

i think michelle briefs makes a really good point. cgi is a whole lot better and for those of you who have seen the hulk you should know that ssj hair and beams arent exactly impossible. for those of you who have seen the matrix you will know that fighting scenes should be great. and well they have around 2 years to improve cgi. i believe this movie can be great if they stick to the storyline. things such as dogs being mayors(<-- oh my please cut) and circle buildings will seem weird. i hope they make it seem more real. more believable. this way people dont make bad statements because of silly things put in

It has become apparent to me that this live action dragonball movie is indeed going to be made. Let us all get it out of our heads now that this movie will be anything like the anime or the manga. I feel it is unfair to contrast / compare; books, movies, video games. When working with a franchise and transforming it from one source to another one has to lay down a new foundation so to speak.
Take Super Mario Bros. for example; nothing like the video game but an enjoyable film nonetheless. Yes Street Fighter the live action movie was a nightmare but if you have ever seen Street Fighter the anime movie you would know that it restores justice to the franchise. And anyone who did not like the live action Mortal Kombat movie is an idiot. The Resident Evil movies are nothing like the game and as great as the LOTR films are they are far different from the book.
I am a writer and as a writer I understand the difficulty of trying to create a piece of work that is pleasing to everyone, though someone is always going to be displeased. I have faith in Ben Ramsey who is writing the script for this film because I feel that he is starting from the foundation and working to bring a universe successfully to the big screen a universe that we have all come to know and love as Dragonball Z.
What I am trying to say is just that I would like a good story based on the remarkable piece of work that Akira Toriyama has blessed his fans with. It cannot and will not have all the elements of the Dragonball universe but it can have the magic; the same magic that gave me goosebumps the first time Goku went Super Saiyan, and the same passion that left tears in my eyes when Gohan defeated Cell.
For anyone who has any doubt about this movie being made face the fact that it is going to be made. It is inevitable. All we as dragonball fans can do is hope that we are treated to an experience worthy of a dragonball fan.

I'm agree with SSonofjoshuah.
I'm also a writer (well, a DBZ fan fic writter, but at least is something) and I know how difficult is to adapt a charater, or to create a new one. I know how difficult is to make a whole universe trying to following the original... how can I say... esence.
My hope is to wait for a good movie, with a good writting.

A movie doesn't need cgi and the such to be a great movie , I enjoy many of the old japanese movies, with samurai's and martial artist and they could tell a great story like that make it feel like real japan outside enviroments or Like Crouching tiger hidden dragon , and hero I would like to see the Dragon ball movies something like those but to the dragon ball z story, start off with master roshi trainning Goku and krillen and explain their past with a pre story or flash backs of krillen being trained in kung fu from his buddahist monk mentors and goku from grandpa gohan.

I like everyone else can not wait until the movie is released. But there is one thing that I fear they will do and that is give the movie a crouching tiger look. You can obviously tell there is wire work in those type of movies and the way DBZ characters fly and move in the air is way different from the way they prance around on water lilys in those types of movies. Now Im not saying those are not good movies I just hope they dont do that with Dragonball because it could severly ruin the effect.

Yeah I don't want them to fly like they fly in Hero and crouching tiger. I want them to fly like they fly in the show. But I want the settings, backgrounds , Camera to be the same , make it feel like its real. So its feelmed in asia. I also want most of the characters to be asian since thats what most of the characters where supposed to be. No matter if it is Like hero or X-men or star wars feel to it I hope that it , feels like a great episode of dbz , and that it can be watched by anyone of all ages and enjoy it . Not to sensored for little kids and not to harsh for only adults, some where in the middle.

Not to sensored for little kids and not to harsh for only adults, some where in the middle. I bet the flying will be a mix of Superman and the Matrix. Anyways I really hate these people that knock the DBZ movie before anything offical is even released. The DBZ movie has lot of potential to be Great maybe the Next Matrix but in the wrong hands like all movies it can really bomb. Fox is a smart company that takes risks and it usualy works I am sure they(the people working on the DBZ project) have done their Homework on DBZ and I am sure they read the fans opinions. In my Opinion the DBZ movie wont be getting made if it is going to suck I have a feeling DBZ will be a big summer block buster hit, the people who knock it right now are stupid and probaly just dont like many movies in general they probaly sit in their room worshiping anime so it doesnt surprize me that they dont want DBZ made. In my overall Opinion for none of you who want to read that long Paragraph I wrote: I think the DBZ movie will turn out great maybe it wont get an oscar but it will be awsome. The cast will work out fine in the end and the Special effects will be more than great.

your right, this movie DOES have potential. this could turn out to be just as big as star wars if directed well. who knows, i think it could become one of the biggest epics ever!
