Just throwing this out there.
Wouldn't it have been flippin' awesome if the film had a little montage a-la
Lord Of The Rings: Fellowship of the Ring telling concerning the events that had occured in the childhood years of Goku and/or the creation and existence of the Dragonballs? Or perhaps a stylish montage/telling of the past as used in films such as
Hellboy 2, and
Dragon Tiger Gate. It'd make for a smoother transition into the following events that would occur as the film plays out imo.
On another note, this film really is continually irking me the wrong way. The more I see, the less enthusiastic I am with it. The sets, the effects, the mood, the vibe, James Wong's directing, the insistance on the toying of source material and imagery..the list goes on. The film thus far really..really does appear to be nothing more than a random fantasy film that is
bland as all hell; with a lead green-faced-vampiric villain that could or could not be Piccolo in the 89' live action Batman suit, and a lead protagonist of whom coincidently dons an outfit that bears resemblence to that of Goku from Dragonball.
In my perspective, the film has 'Fail' written all over it (for lack of a better statement..), as the team behind it, are trying so desperately to have the film be "IN" with the audience. Thus, resulting in an awkward, and unintentionally cheesy-as-fuck movie. I doubt it will even constitute as a film for a good laugh(
har-har Batman & Robin), as the film isn't exactly targeted to be an extremely over-the-top kid-friendly flick.
I must note that I for one, am not
looking for anything to complain about. Give me a break, it isn't hard to find something
wrong with this production. *woeful sigh* I wish I could continue to be as optimistic as I was in the early stages of this film, but.. well..
Losing patience.
