Sorry that I like things like colors and fun. Next time I see something colorful and fun I'll call it "gay" and bitch about how there's not enough decaying brown ruins and WWII battles.

Okay, I can foresee this thread getting locked.

If this in reference towards Indiana Jones, it'd be better to say Cold War battles instead of WWII battles considering the time period of the new movie.

But yeah, the comment was totally uncalled for. People can enjoy whatever they like, regardless of how you personally feel about it.

Actually, it was in reference to current videogaming trends. My friends and I have this inside joke that video games no longer have colors because the Wachowski Bros. stole it all for Speed Racer.

I'm tempted (and hoping) to say its fake; he looks like a Power Rangers villain on that poster. @_@

And as much as I liked Power Rangers when I was a little kid, I really hope this movie stays away from the type of over-the-top costume cheese I remember Power Rangers villains had.

I don't think so, the drgonball logo is a bit off.

I don't think so, I had to look pretty close to realize that there is a moon or sun behind his head and his cranium is not the size of a Namek Dragonball. Movie posters (even small ones made for specific characters) are made to be seen at a glance and be fully understood, that fact that I had to look at it twice and very closely means that this is probably not an officially released poster, just another unlabled fan made one.

It's a fake :

I had figured it was a fake, but you can never be too sure these days...

I'm glad it's a fake, it didn't make Piccolo look as green as I'd hoped he would, you know, more like in the anime.

The artists name is Jose Luis Ramos M. and he has made some other pretty nice live action concept art, here's all that I could find:

*Note: THESE ARE FAKE!!!!*

*Note: THESE ARE FAKE!!!!*

I know Freeza and SSj Goku won't be in the Dragonball movie coming out in 2009 but I hope that when they do make those two characters that they make them look as good as Jose Luis Ramos M. did!

DBthemovie is back up... for now.

I'm surprised but we've gotten no news since May 25th.

I just found these videos of James Marsters at some stand up interviews, he doesn't say much about Dragonball but here are the parts where he does talk about it.

They were posted a while ago but no seems to have brought them up on this forum yet so i thought I'd let you all know about them. It kinda makes me want to start following Marsters around in case he makes more comments about Dragonball (I am dying for information on Piccolo).

I'm glad this isn't four years ago, but still, do not let retards get a hold of those pics.

VEGETA_DTX · Post by **VEGETA_DTX** » Tue Jun 03, 2008 4:06 am

I am so mad only by reading all these comments... I ask my self why, oh WHY am I reading this...

I mean there are some people that support actors look, and there are some that are complaining about some things...

For those who support...I don't have a comment...

For those who complain about Goku not smiling or not having 4 star Dragon Ball or such.... maaan...?!
What about the damn fact that he does not REMIND of GOKU in any possible way?!?! what about the damn fact that nothing in this movie except for the title and names does not remind of DB AT ALL!?

I am truly shocked!
Its like toilet sit staring as Blade and everyone complaining like - "oh why the hell is the toilet sit white?! whyyyy? if only it could be black it would be much better, just like Blade..."

I am shocked and still can not believe...

I mean the last thing I want here is to insult anybody...especially not VegetoEX, but I'll be honest, VegetoEX you terribly disappointed me by hiding your opinion...
I expected from a true DB fan to proudly say that he's against this movie no matter what happen to his forum and site... after all it does not make sense to be angry on GT(absolutely agreed btw) and to be silent about THIS MOCKERY?!
I'm really disappointed...

I love these sentences! I'm not sure what they are supposed to mean, but I love them!

If I understood the rest of your post, I'm pretty sure I agree with you. Live action "Dragonball" will be crap. It doesn't matter what actors are in it, or how much money they pump into it. "Dragonball" just isn't something that can be pulled off live. It never has been, and never will be.

Thanx

I'm glad you agree, and I absolutely agree with you, DB should never be LAM no mater which actors are acting.

But I won't be here for long, remember, people like to flame those who're against this movie, so I must go away for some time, I don't want to bother...

Well, see, the smiling (or doing things that make the viewer smile) is a huge part of Goku's character. So, when people are complaining about his constant blank stare, they're actually saying "Why does he not remind me of Goku in any way whatsoever?"

So, here's how I see your comment:

Random Member: "Why does he not remind me of Goku at all?"
VEGETA_DTX: "You idiot! You make me so mad! You should be wondering why he doesn't remind you of Goku at all!!!"

So, just chill.

I think he means "nothing else is like Dragonball Z in this movie so why just complain about something as trivial as Justin's facial expressions?"
Of course I could be wrong due to the large amount of unbearable spelling errors.

You may be right, but at the same time there are plenty of other movies out there that adapt comics and such that, while not being nearly the exact same as the comic itself, has the same quality and spirit of the comic. For the most part, the movie is basically accepted as a decent or well-done adaption of said comic.

If Goku had some bangs and smiled a bit more, he'd seem more like Goku and less like a nervous Ace Ventura.

That's where I was seeing it from.
