I don't like the way the Ki blast look. They look like fire. I can't stop laughing at Chatwin's expression when he notices the eclipse.

This shit is weak as hell!

Is this Chichi?
Because if so, that outfit seems to be a nod at her earlier Dragonball appearances:

Seriously. "I'm not ready for this?" No. How about "I'm so excited!" or something like that. I still can't figure out what the hell he's doing at the end of the trailer either. Oh shit....

Looks more like a misty, vapor to me.
The conept of Ki/Chi has been visually portrayed in so many different ways (live action and otherwise) that it scarcely matters much how they go about it here, but it would be nice if we got at least a
few more distinctly "Dragon Ball-esque beams" in the flick.

I'm in the generation of fans that started with Toonami, so I totally empathize with the feeling of having "missed the party", experiencing disappointment, and wanting to experience it myself. But I can't, that's how life is. Time is a bitch. The party is over. Kageyama, Kikuchi, and Maeda are off the sauce now; Yanami almost OD'd; Yamamoto got arrested; Toriyama's not going to light trash cans on fire and hang from the chandelier anymore. We can't get the band back together, and even if we could, everyone's either old, in poor health, or calmed way the fuck down. Best we're going to get, and are getting, is a party that's almost entirely devoid of the magic that made the original one so awesome that we even want more.

"I'm not ready for this."
Seems a little out of character for Son Gokû, espicially the way he delivers the line.

What's with the yellow sports car again? Oh and if "I don't think I'm ready for this" isn't Goku's new catchphrase that's uttered in every movie at least once I will be livid.

Yeah I'm worried about how the Kamehameha is going to turn out now. A misty vapor stream? Man this is lame as hell. Mai can get it though. Giggity giggity goo.

Well, I waited and I saw. Not impressed.
And also, for anyone who's ever played "Dragon Power", you'll remember the Wind Wave. That's probably what they thought ki blasts were like xD
[quote="Brakus"]For all the flack that FUNimation gets on this forum for their quote about DBZ, there's some modicum of truth to it: a 9-year-old is born every day. Or in some cases, "reborn". DBZ may be a kids' show, but it's been so close to so many hearts all over Japan, America, and quite possibly, even the world.[/quote]

I'm watching it over and over again. My opinion on this is actually extremely mixed....
By the way:
Piccolo looks quite a bit more green in this shot, to me.

Not green enough. I knew they would put him in a lame ass hoodie! Man...fuck this movie. It was expected that they would screw up the story but they can't even make it LOOK interesting. Nothing about it jumps out and grabs me. If I just randomly saw this at the movies I wouldn't even be interested.

I wasn't going to say anything because I knew it would cause a massive shit storm but this is the first thing I thought too. It really just looks boring and if it wasn't for the name "Dragonball" at the end I wouldn't even glance at it twice.

Man...GHOST RIDER looks better than this! Hell even Elecktra got me a little bit interested. YELLOW SPORTS CAR! Oh wow. Maybe the car is really a Transformer of something. "SUPER

Lol at the "found/bound" line.
Piccolo's hoodie makes me think of 90's rap music videos.
"I'm not ready for this." either, Chatwin. I'm not ready for this either.
I've seen so much fake information on the internet that the longer trailer makes me think of an over-elaborate hoax; though I know its not.
