| In the preview video of the live action movie "Dragon Ball Evolution", Toriyama Akira gave a comment to the movie. Toriyama Akira said: As a creator of the original manga, I'm puzzled by the script and the characters, but the director, the actors and the other staff are all excellent. It'll be a correct choice for me and the Dragon Ball fans to watch the movie as a "New Dragon Ball" belonging to a totally different sphere from the original. Perhaps, the movie will turn out to be a great masterpiece thanks to the efforts of the staff. I'm looking forward to seeing it!! Source: Oricon |
| lol That's all. |

| Well, not many people are going to bash on a movie based off their own work (except for Alan Moore)... Did they change the name recently or has it always been DB: Evolution? |

| Time table "Sometime ago" - read the announce that there was going to be a live action DBZ movie Sept 11, 2009 - I watched the trailer "NO please anything but that.... PLEASE" I showed it to everyone else that's apart of the anime community at my college and got almost the same outcome |

| It would be better if the show was viewed as an Alternative from the original Dragon Ball shows but problem is the people just can't do that. There will always be comparisons to the show that we had all loved. |

nerohigh said: Poor guy is probably crying inside. honya-chan said: Translation: I, Toriyama Akira, am NOT responsible for this train wreck called Dragon Ball Evolution. Yep. He pretty much wanted everyone to know that he is not related to this movie in any way, shape or form. Chalk this live-action in the failure column. Though I guess I should wait till I actually see it first before making my verdict. |

| has anyone seen the trailer for it? its awful, I for one am going to go picket this movie to try and stop people from seeing it. |
| Haha, wow. Don't worry Akira, we still <3 you. This had made me actually more excited to see it now, train wrecks are fun. |
Factor said: Same. If it had been a really good Dragonball movie I wouldn't have bothered. I don't so much care for DBZ anymore. But now that it's pretty much assured to be a horrible disaster of an lol, yeah I'll probably torrent this.This had made me actually more excited to see it now, train wrecks are fun. |
| this is what happens when americans run out of ideas, astro boy is another case |

Toriyama Akira said: I'm looking forward to seeing it!! Me too!! |
| Y'know, I could see this movie for free since I work at a movie theater. But I don't think I will. I don't even want to waste my time with this obviously soulless remake. |

| It's not just Toriyama-san, I am quite puzzled by it myself. Originally, I had a different idea and impression of the live-action movie 2-3 months ago but.. Recently, I got a glimpse of some screenshots of the movie and the game. I was shocked and speechless. It could be possibly the worst live-action adaptation ever. In fact, it disgraces the name of Toriyama Akira and his Dragonball masterpiece. How terrible!! |

| I smelled the crap when I knew Fox was making a live action movie of DBZ. It only got worse when I saw the cast. Poor Chow Yun-Fat and Toriyama-san... this movie is seriously going to look like a theatrical release by the Sci-Fi Channel. Maybe one day they will do it correctly but it's highly doubtful. I just want to know how you completely screw something up that has two great source materials to work from. Simply condense a saga from the anime even further or split it in half and you have yourself a movie (or two) with the storyboard and pre-production walk through done. Anyways, I too will see this movie (via torrent though) just for the "lol" factor. |

| Bwaaaaa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha *inhales deeply* haaaaa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ah ha ha... ha... heh *cough* heh heh *wipes tears* oooooh, that was funny... |
| what he really wanted to say is... ALL IS LOST! |
| I'm gonna restrain of watching the movie coz I know that it would have serious consequences on my mind and my childish perfect picture of world of Dragon Ball, in which perfect men can shoot beams from their hands, eat half of USA's food reserves and blow so hard that the Sun would burn down |
| My dear Goku, what have they done to you? D: |
| (づ°‿°.)づ |
| I'll watch it just because I *have* to talk about it in my blog xD Just the idea of "watch it like another dragon ball unrelated to the original" is stupid. It's like "we're only using the name to attract people to see crap =D" >_>" |
JadeMatrix said: lol That's all. |
| I'll watch this just because I'm a masochist. |
 |
| I despise our American movie industry. Of all the failures that we are experiencing movies is definitely one of them. I mean you only come by a decent one every ONCE in a while. |
 |
| So to sum it up in one sentence. it's going to be shit. |
     |
| Is it going to be even more of a train wreck than Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon is to the original Sailor Moon series? I'm actually getting even more curious if it is XD I mean, I sat through Pretty Guardian the entire time making fun of it and noting all parts where they could have made it better XD |
| Now Toriyama Akira probably feels the same way as Americans did when Bush became president |
| interesting |
 I signed my screen and now its all smeary "When you meet your God tell him to leave me alone." check out my bloghttp://corpse69.wordpress.com/ fix MAL already |
Toriyama Akira said: It'll be a correct choice for me and the Dragon Ball fans to watch the movie as a "New Dragon Ball" belonging to a totally different sphere from the original. Yes we should. Or else we will be pissed! XD |
     |
| yeah, if you don't even bother to put Krillen in the movie and change a bunch of the facts from the series..it's going to be complete crap. Im not even going to bother seeing it. |
 |
| Let's face it, the only reason anyone actually liked anything besides the Original Dragon Ball (so this means Z and GT) anyways is due to sentimental value, i.e. we were all around 10 and would watch any cartoon of well-built flying superheros shoot balls of energy at each other. Hell we probably thought it was just an American cartoon at the time and not some Japanese import. Also, casting the most serious Asian-American actor in the history of Asian-American actors as the old perverted turtle hermit is a huge no-go. |

| i`ll just watch this movie as if it has nothing to do with DBZ, might be a good regular movie |
Amex_Yohko said: Maybe those reporters bribe Toriyama to make him to say like that. Yeah, most likely. I can't help but think that last part of the quote was probably forced. Poor guy. |
| Me and a bunch of my friends from my HS anime club and college anime club are gonna go and just act like tards in the theatre |

Innovatio said: i`ll just watch this movie as if it has nothing to do with DBZ, might be a good regular movie Now thats the correct treatment. I find it funny on how people bash everything forgetting the simple fact - its adaptation. Of course it will be different. Did people rage when fox butchered X Men? Did People rage when fox butchered Spiderman? Some might have. Were those trilogies bad? In no way they were bad. They were a good quality action movies(except for Spiderman3 because director tried to be more faithful to comics) and that stands as a fact. I see no big problems with DBE - its a big budgeted action movie based on Piccolo saga. I will be sure to see it in theaters, because the action scenes in newest trailer seem to be breathtaking to say for least. Most people here seem to mistake Toriyama's message as hatred, disappointment or etc, however I see his words differently: He is saying that all the fans should not be offended by this and should just count it as a different take on DB, hence the adaptation. |

| He must have been shocked when he saw the trailer... This is one of those cases where he'd wear a "i'm not with him" T-shirt, poiting to the movie, don't you think? |
