Dragonball Evolution
ComingSoon.net is reporting that 20th Century Fox may have extended the title of the movie to Dragonball: Evolution. What’s interesting is that dragonballevolutionmovie.com redirects to the official 20th Century Fox website.

man this could be good but they should really make the hnad to hand fighting cooler more intense and the flying must not look like the man is on those wire things
dude the movie is coming on 18 march
cool
when this movie goes n cinemas dragonball, one of the most biggest, and most respected and glorious anime series will officially be dead.
As a dragonball series fan im looking forward to it but i think the guys could of done betta for example Goku should have longer hair maybe a bit spikey but not short like the guy in the movie ,Bulma has blue hair although it would seem sensible to have it blue i can see why they havent done it because fying it all the time might ruin the girls pretty face. Also roshi is bald and old Gohan looks way older than roshi in this film. Also evolution is to common its already been done by x-men evolution etc it wont make the title unique to the movie. Dragonball rise of the Demon King is i think a better title. Also the game it seriously sucks if i want that kind of game ill just go and buy the other dragonball z games the moves as u can see have been done in the previous games on the ps2 psp ps3 and wii. seriously fox have made some bad errors making this movie hopefully they can redeem themselves by making future movies betta. I look forward to seeing the super saiyan form especialy, also stick to the plot Gohan was killed by Goku when he looked up at the moon as a child turned into an oozaru and killed him, stick to origional story line but yeah im not gonna judge it to harshly just yet
I think the cartoon is cool. now., the new interpretation on the big screen is another thing. let put as an example., as other fnas must know., that horrible discusting interpratation of the dragon ball movie (asian version) just sucks. but., the good thing is that on this movie. evolution., la f/x used ar pretty neat. and how goku screams KAMEHAMEHA, is awsome. there are a couple of mistakes, BASIC FOR CHARACTERS to ID them., like:
*bulmas hair. its blue., not a neon color., but it could be a sexy blue.
*Piccolos (PIKORO) day maku, is more green. he looks like some.. green grasshopper frozen, with that color. and where are the antenas?
*roshi, – even though were talking about evolution here., it dosent mean roshi can look that young., but., if we go back to the cartoon., he is as when he started., even though we are used to see him with a white bear, and hair.
* goku .- the martial arts gear., (clothes) are red. red with black., not yellow sun. even if it dosent look bad., there not his colors.
uh… so like x-men… keep the same general plot, add evolution to the end, and BAM! better movie/tv show….w/e…
From the movie trailers that I had seen, just want to said its BAD…… MOVIE and NOT ORIGINAL, although the movie call Dragon ball “Evolutionâ€. But you (the movie team) mustn’t remove/deleted/not using/edited the original character and item in the REAL dragon ball from comics or manga and anime movie or series, such as :
1. Who is the real GOKU and Who is piccolo ? (are They humans or alien????…. both of them are ALIEN….. which Goku the god one and piccolo is the bad one)
2. Where is Goku tail…..????? ops he is human (in this movie)
3. Why there are no character such as krillin, ulong, or goku girlfriend ???????
4. Did goku goes to school…..?
5. Why there are no character such as kurilin, ulong, or goku girlfriend ???????
And many more, soo to make the movie more awesome, please more concern of the small detail. so the fans of dragon ball all over the globe will satisfaction. warm regard
I guess the objective here is to reestablish the Dragonball trademark on the workd market before their claim expires. Me thinks even if this movie flops, it wouldn’t matter. With the amount of Dragonball merchandise spread across the globe, it’s producers would still sell.
Well first let me say that I dislike when animated go live action. I think this movie has the potential to be good and draw in movie goers who are unaware of DB. However I think they would have been better off making a movie a little truer to the story. I think there is a real potential to screw up Goku as a character. What makes him so appealing is that while he is so naturally powerful and so hard working he is not the slightest bit arrogent (in stark contrast to Vegeta) while still loving battle while completely trusting and liking everyone.
I think putting him in High School (if what I read is true) completely defies his character while his is not stupid it is his innocent ignorance that makes him who he is Goku and school is just a bad match. Okay so I can see why they dind’t want to make Goku rural monkeyboy but not having Krillin I think will wind up being the biggest mistake. Krillin is amazing in his own right but is never on par with Goku and gives the viewer a chance to really absorb how unique Goku is; plus if there are none of the other “Z fighters” (I know this takes place before the Z sagas) how will Goku show up at the last minute to save the day. I have never seen a “superhero” who so desperatly needs a watch. Other things I wonder is things from the dragon ball series (cartoon really because before DBZ it was much more cartoonish) will be retained… his incredible appetite, Bulma’s air-headedness despite being a freakin’ genious, really any element of the capsule corp.?
I know there is good reason to change the story to make it more universally appealing I just hope they don’t screw up Goku who is just one of the most interesting and frustrating characters ever.
—Kakarot you idiot!—
I like dragonball!
Will Dragonball Evolution be released in the UK? I really hope it does, ‘cos all of the websites that i’ve looked on say Japan and North America.. HELP!

So far I agree with alot of what’s been said here. However, as a DBZ fan of many many years…. I have to agree the biggest point here is why there aren’t more of the original characters from DBZ??? I’ve been waiting for a live action DBZ for a long time now and am very excited no matter what the name of the movie is. But I will be severly disappointed if most of the small details are left out, which as we can see from the trailer….may be the case… I don’t want some directors idea of what DBZ is supposed to be, I don’t want a bunch of off the wall ideas thrown in either. I want DBZ live action as it should be with no bull.
They picked a good person for bulma shes pretty but idk about the rest they seem ok.
I disagree completely. That’s like replacing bruce lee with a white man in an old martial arts film. it just doesn’t make sense. And also, they changed Roshi’s character. In the cartoon, he is a pervert who always tries, yet fail, to get with the young chicks. In the film, he doesn’t even have grey hair, and is very serious and wise. They should have stuck to the original concepts and characters.
At the end of the day, I will probably go see this movie. But I will not be the only asian that is upset because they have turn my asian superhero into a white man. How would the white kids feel if the next Superman movie has an Asian guy playing Superman (since Goku and Superman are both alien, any race can play their role).
:idea:
I seen the movie it is good just need a few changes to make the fight sence a bit better
i went to see this movie on wednesday april 8th and this movie is awful they made goku like piccolos slave when he transforms into the ozaru and its so cheesy and everything is just wrong and all you real DB fans out their will realise this, and will not like this movie. also the whole film is rushed. BAD MOVIE!!! SO DISAPOINTED!!
Why is it they keep on mixing americans with asian actors? The success of Rush hour 1, 2 and 3 doesn’t mean will be the success of other films having americans and asian going together. Look at the Forbidden Kingdom? It flops. They have Jackie Chan and Jet Li. Both are the best. But they mixed it with a white guy instead of another asian. It is a story of a monkey king which is a story long ago involving asians particularly, Chinese.
A forumer right here say, will you accept a Superman played by other nationality? I don’t think so. Eversince, Superman is well known to be played by an American actor. It is the same way Gokou was known to be a character created by a Japanese animator. So, why have a white guy play the role of Gokou? Yes, Gokou is an alien from other planet. How about Superman? Is he an American? Isn’t he, like Gokou, comes from another Planet?
I’ve just seen the poll right here. I’m suprised! Most people are pleased by the movie. They rated it at 10.
if there gonna make a dragonball 2 they better make just as the comic or atleast make piccolo green and not drest as a gay and make mastar rosi old, and there krillin must be there
it really sucks that i did not finish the movie, DRAGON BALL EVOLUTION SUCKS! its the same as FAR CRY shit.
Japan makes good live action like prince of tennis / deathnote. AMERICAN movies like this sucks hard… good MOVIE EFFECTS mean shit
The movie was awsome. They definitely should make more movies (eg.ike the vegeta saga, the freeza saga, the android/cell saga, and all the rest of the sagas). I loved the movie & the cartoon also. I’ve seen all episodes & this cartoon has really inspired me. I really hope they are going to make more movies to the end (which is the Kid Buu saga)
I was really curious to see dragon ball movie but all my excitement got down when i saw it.the movie really sucks.It does’nt even resemble with dragon ball z anime.
your cartoons r too great!
