I haven't seen anything about trailers yet. I'll be sharing my opinion when i've seen trailers and such.

I heard all the nerds were raging about the way Piccolo looks, but I agree with the above, looks like the kind of film that would make you laugh when it's not trying to.

It'll probably share a space in the lost caverns of my brain like many other live action adaptations before it.

I'll watch it, since I spent years watching the anime.

I'll watch it because it has James Marsters in it.
And yes, its unfortunate, but I'm being entirely serious about that :P

Whether it will be good or not is another matter entirely. I'll give it a chance, but as with other people, I'm sort of expecting it to be funny for reasons other than whatever reasons they may intend.

Mayor FAIL, I can already sense that :P

But I'm gonna watch it for the laughs and try to remain serious for the first... 5 seconds.

I'm looking forward to it, only because it has been rumoured for like... 10 years or something.
It has a 85% chance of being terrible (IMO) and a 15% chance of being good. It has a 99% chance of being nothing like the anime/manga except for character names and use of the dragonballs though.
Still... it could be interesting.

I don't care at the moment since I work at a cinema and can see it for free anyways, so I won't be wasting money :D

If this is serious.....

<__<

I would watch it for laughs, because that show has topped any other show in the screaming department.
So I can only imagine how the actors vocals are going to be...

Just from the pictures i've seen of it I've already dubbed it an utter failure. Right now my prayers go out for Cowboy Bebop, Akira, and all the other anime movies Hollywood plans to slaughter. (although with Reeves as Spike I don't much hope for Bebop either. and I can only imagine who they'd get to play Ed *shutters*)

That image has already been established as being older than the movie. Besides, if you noticed, those images are of DBZ Piccolo. James Marsters is playing his father, Piccolo Daimaou (Demon King Piccolo) - the one that originally split from Kami 2,000 years ago.



EDIT: Oops - my bad. Some images were released recently:


I foresee flaming because he's not Forest Green, but I'm still going to wait to see it before I make any kind of judgments, though.

u would know that goku is an alien not japanese, secondly the only asian characters are yamcha, chi chi, master roshi, and grandpa gohan. and the people who play those parts in the movie are asian, and thirdly(not a word but) if they took the anime straight to a movie it would completely bomb.

You say that as if it's not going to bomb either way.

It's going to be a hilarious comedy.

You'll hear my laughing over all the 12 y/o's in the cinema, if it gets that far.

Whoops. My bad. When I heard that the images where leaked it took me forever to find pictures. I guess I chose the wrong site. ^^'
But it doesn't matter you seemed to have found them anyway. (and wow the piccolo fans weren't kidding when they said he looked like crap. I'd rather have the dude in the fake image)

This is probably exactly what it's going to be. A bad movie that all of its fans will love because it is bad. Cult Classic.

You'll be waiting a while. I don't think VHS are even released anymore... or was that your point? lol

I am a bit disappointed by the lack of green Piccolo. He isn't a Namek if he isn't green... *sigh*
But I have faith in his acting at least...

Yeah, I've seen the images on a site. I laughed so hard when I read the part of Piccolo resembling Jim Carrey as The Mask.

Holy crappo! They remove the screencaps!

But anyway, I hope the movie doesn't suck balls.

There's a lot of fanmade teasers. None of them are real.

The film will end up shocking and will only end up drawing the losers and nerds who love anything that is based around something Japanese.

Matter of fact, I'll place my bet... 500 ryou that it sucks out load!
