first af all i want to say was im not convince of it...
it just like a rip off....
ive been DB fan long time...but only the manga version, i think the animes, games the OVAs are just another deal to make other people get rich.... of course akira toriyama will become richer (dont blame him!!!!) but there are other people try to take that advantage as well by those sort of things...
now come the real life movie...... my first impression was, i will not expect much from it....
why???....
first... they change the title to DRAGONBALL EVOLUTION
second... the producers were two HongKong chinese dude, james wong and stephen chow, yup.... chow shin chi... the one and only, funny guy stephen chow..... chow known as a huge fan of dragon ball as well, yeah we enjoy watching shaolin soccer and kungfu hustle... man, movies after those two weren't dat.... good. but also... if chow n wong try to use the same graphics and effects as they used in the two previous movie then it might be good....might...be good...
what i scared the most was... i worried dat stephen chow would be too ambitious.... in the end the movie could get like 8 to 9 rotten tomatoes..... hahahaha...
come on... there are a lot of DB fans out there in the whole wide world dat wait for this film to premier.... they dont wanna get dissapointed... chow n wong are carrying heavy burden....
third... the casts, most people dint know who was the dude playing goku?? Cikgu Muten and alll..... well this were the cast...
- Jamie Chung as Chi Chi
- Emmy Rossum as Bulma
- Chow Yun-Fat as Master Roshi aka Mute or Kame
- Joon Park as Yamcha
- Eriko Tamura as Mai
- Texas Battle as Carey Fuller
- Luis Arrieta as Weaver
- Randall Duk Kim as Grandpa Gohan
- Ernie Hudson as Master Mutaito
- Shavon Kirksey as Emi
justin chatwin played the role of tom cruise's son in film "war of the world" and cameo in 1st season and 1st episodeof tv series "weeds" playing the homo kid dat sales pot for lucy.....
i wonder does chow yun fat suit to be Muten? he doesnt look pervert enough... i thought dat, Kitano "Beat" Takeshi would be more "fun"... Beat takeshi was a well known actor, comedian, producer and director in japan entertainment industry... u guys prolly knew him in Zatoishi, Battle Royale and the tv game show "istana takeshi"... he have this fascination of making yakuza and gangster base and also violent and blood blood squishing films... nevertless he was a funny guy... more suitable than chow yun fat...dats what i thought...
Bulma will b potrayed by Emmy Rossum, she used to play a role as Christine Daee in The Phantom Of the Opera with Gerard Butler ("We are Spartan!!!!") and as the smart chick in Day After Tomorrow... again, why her??? rossum was like a very sweet sweet young lady, soft spoken, nice singing voice, good republican american girl type... very contrast of bulma which was different... i was thinking of....Elisha cuthbert coz she got nicer body and nicer assets...ehem!!!
james marsters played Vampire Spike in tv series buffy the vampire slayer and angel... i like himm
his good.... he will be great a Piccollo....
the others... i dont give a damn!!!! i dont know them.... hahahaha
the third... i found dat alot of important characters are not icluded in this film...
for example.... where is krillin? he was like goku best friend..... how could they shaun him to exist in the life action movie????
fourth... new characters or just developed the role of small characters... like mai? and weaver? and emi? carey fuller? who are they???
i also think dat yamcha or chi chi should play less role as its manga... yamcha was stupid, i hate him!! and chi chi...well according to the manga these arc was the time goku married to chi chi... sooo ok then...
fifth... the story line... like about how dragon ball was created and all seem to be altered from the original manga.... and also about goku become the chosen one???? very weird.....
sixth... goku's hair.... well it is a life action film, of course la... dont have to make dat kind og spiky spiky hair....its ok then...
seventh... goku's attitude.... it seems dat chatwins potrayal of goku's life action version and from manga was like jaoh panggang dari api .... if u watch the trailer, there was a scene of goku and roshi talking and goku was saying somthg like...."i dont think im ready..." what was dat all about....goku not ready to fight??? dats not very saiyan like!!!! WHATHAFUCK!!! big mistake from the production!!! original goku loves to fight... and very confident with his ability or strength...
this was very dissapointing.... the film haven't out yet and im already dissapointed!!! not a good sign......
well i got seven so far..... the reason of my up coming dissapointment...hahaha...
check out the trailer in youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64fZMN2Qu0w&feature=related
see for yourself... it looks good and all, but we will see hows the characters and story developed...
i heard before that they trying to make dragon ball as a saga movies....like star wars... strarted with lord piccolo arc then the saiyan arc, the nameck arc and the android and cell arc i dont know about majin arc.... the sequel of this film was rumoured dat the production was ready!!! tsk tsk tsk.....
the film will be premier in japan on march 13th this year...and for the rest of the world on april 8th, first show in japan???!!!... youch!!! bold move... it took alot of courage, expect harsh critics if what i what i assumed to be true......
let us hope for the best... cant wait to review it!!! Ganbate!!!
KAME HAME HAAAAAA!!!!!!!!
