New Release Date: April 10th, 2009
20th Century Fox has moved back the opening of Dragonball: Evolution two days to Friday, April 10th, 2009 from the previous Wednesday, April 8th release date. I’ve lost count on how many date changes this makes.

@Broly:
with all respects, I’m a Dragon Ball Fans. After watching the movie, I feel broken heart. My purpose is not about stopping the movie, but expecting some other companies like Fox wold remake the movie. Hopefully with the petition, the DBE makers such as Fox and James Wong would know what have they done to Dragon Ball. They rape it to make fortune, they put “evolution” in the title as an excuse.. they just borrow the name of a masterpiece and ruin it like shit. Before I watch the movie, I feel the same like you guys, I can’t wait for it, although I know the movie would not reach my expectation. I was proud DB is finally made in live action. At least it would entertain me a bit.. but the fact is far more than a bit.. it’s Zero!! I feel so pissed off..!! I want it to be remaked, I hope Matchowsky Brothers would hear this petition, since they are also a great fans of Mangga and Dragon Ball (recall the Agent Smith & neo fighting in the rain, flying and demolishing tall buildings, just referenced in Dragon Ball they said). Match Bro also directed a live action movie based on mangga called Legend of Heavenly Sphere Shurato, with the new cool title: The 8 Guardians of Vishnu, and it would be released in 2010 hopefully. Hence, respectfully, now I’ve become the DBE haters, but not DB haters. All dude that feel the same way, please sign the petition.. and let them know about what have they done. Thanks. http://www.petitiononline.com/dblam444/petition.html

Not to bad a review, says it’s got a bad story but everything else got thumbs up
@carl135:
So how is it dude? the end of that article persuade us to sign the petition as well.. it won’t be a waste damn of life if we can do it together..
Avantgarde
Man your a joke, It’s a movie!!!!!For crying out loud fox raped nothing you have your god damn anime still. Give me a break dude I dont want to be a dick but I got to be people that take this movie that personal are losers i’m sorry to say it. In the end dragonball is not your life it’s a fictuous awesome story but it isnt real. Goku isn’t flying around doing kamehameha’s it’s just a story. An awesome story I love dragonball alot and I’m so glad they made a movie but I dont feel sad by anything. There all movies they dont effect my life they dont rape my childhood. Like Ben ramsey said there are actual children out there being raped yet you got the audacity to come in here and say fox raped your childhood they raped dragonball? Give me a break get a life grow up and get the fuck out of here.
@potter:
Hey.. don’t be rude..
If you dare give me your email.. I will send you any address so we can meet each other. And I’m ready to do anything so you can’t get move on your life. I’m trully said it.. and I’m serious. I’m eager to find you dude..
@carl135: That article comes from VegetaDTX and his bunch of nerds…i mean, haters. I wouldn’t pay attention to any article that has his name on it, nor any other guy whose intention is and has allways been destroying this movie since 2002, for pure irrational hatrid and fun. Plus, i don’t see anything there that looks reliable, and we’ve already seen too many attempts from haters to come up with lies, intrigues and false rumours like that.
@Avantgarde81: They didn’t ruin anything, and from the simple and cut bootleg i find the movie quite cool, and more true to Dragonball than most people make it look. And so do many people who come here. Plus, if this movie fails (wich it wont), then other than a reboot what you’ll get is the death of the franchise, because, as you said correctly, FOX, like any other business in the world, will only invest in a project if it turns out profitable (it doesn’t make FOX bad, it makes it like any other company, big or small). If this turns out unprofitable, than the franchise will most likely be buried. As for saving your world and your childhood memories…i suggest you take a look at Ben Ramsey’s response to that a-hole VegetaDTX, and rethink your life, cause i’ve seen all those dumb lines before and i’ve grown tired of paying attention to that attitude a long time ago. And also take into account that such a petition hurts the ones who like the movie, and, just like you have the right to dislike it and not see it (yet i bet you’ll see it again especially if the rumour about the 122min is true, wich i also doubt btw…), we have the right to like it and see it many, many times.
FOX and James Wong are just starting too piss me off
They ignored the Ideas from Stephen Chow?!I think FOX didn’t watch “Kung Fu Hustle” Have they ever see the fight scence in that Movie?
I think NO! At least they should really put 40 minutes in DB:E and more Fight scence man Dragonball:Evolution could be so much better
Anyway I liked the leaked one but not too much I just wait for the Full Movie in HD.

@hiroka: Wow Masters says 5 or 7 Movies!!! Now that makes me happy again
@hiroka: nice post, i hadn’t checked ign today because i’m still in class and can’t pick it up on my wireless, i’ll be happy with a trilogy but if these movies get better, and like Chatwin said, go towards Z, then 5-7 movies will be a gift from God to me and all Dragonball, Z, and GT fans, i hope to continue to hear news like this
I strongly believe that FOX’s reason to move the film to the weekend is because they know that it’s going to be bad, and they’re trying to rake in as much money from this thing before bad word-of-mouth gets around. I don’t blame them, I’ve seen the film leaked online, and it’s no Power Rangers movie by a LONG shot. In fact Dragonball Evolution and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers the Movie shouldn’t even be mentioned in the same sentence because at least as I can tell, Power Rangers cared about the fans.
Let’s get this film out already so it will go to DVD faster, and maybe then we’ll get to see an extended directors edition or an alternate ending or SOMETHING that might take this film up one step from unwatchable.
@hiroka: wow! 5-7 movies? that would be amazing! and i was doubting that the sequel was about DBZ, but this prettty much confirmed that it is! wow!
VVVVVVEEEEEEEGGGGGGEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTTAAAAAAAA!
@Avantgarde81: was that a threat?
that site changed it to 84 minutes now, i have no clue whats going on here cant they just confirm a release date.
heres the link again

@mamow:
Yay!! Thank you Fox!! I love you guys. You’ve given Dragonball a
short run time, small budget, bad promotion, PG rating, etc…
You guys must really love and respect Akira’s masterpiece!!
*sarcasm*
I’m hoping IMDB and your site have the wrong info; I’d hate
to see Dragonball: Evolution with such a short runtime.
have anyone noticed that this is a normal DB movie? let me explain.
curse of the blood rubies, the magic begins, and the path to power
all have something in common,
-all barely related to the original story line.
-all a retelling of DB but added a new story to it.
-No pilaf
-(and get this haters) NO KRILLIN!!!
This movie is NO DIFFERENT!!!
its okay if you had seen it and dont like it,but dont keep whining about it we know what you think so please STOP it’s just annoying.
Besides,
If this movie when goku is a little older, and had the same script thats in this movie, and it was ANIMATED people WILL NOT BITCH ABOUT IT. which is UTTER HYPOCRACY!!!
Can i get an HELL YEAH
i meant to say confirm a run time not release date
Why do people keep saying they should 30 or 40 more mins? They can’t added that much and shoot that much time with less than 2 weeks til the US release. They can’t just add fights in the story without changing the story or else they will look outta place. People just have to hope for an extra 5 to 7 min fight scene not a whole 30 or 40 mins because its not happening!
ALSO I WISH PEOPLE WOULD STOP TRYING TO ACT TOUGH BECAUSE NO ONE CARES, SERIOUSLY…..NO ONE CARES
does neo picclo mean like picclo jr or some young lord picclo
i saw the movie like 2 weeks ago and i got to say it was not that bad including since its pg. i give it a 4 out of 5 it could have been better if they had Michael Bay make it but not bad for a cartoon to live action movie. if any one has any questions about the movie they want to know just ask ight.
HOLY SHIT…
8O 

Hier in Portugal the movie wil be relesead only on July
FUCKKKK
i wanna die
I think Fox should make 7 Dragon Ball films.
Im from Sydney and its opening up here on the 9th, so ill see it before most of you, hopefully it will be the the longer version of DB:E but ill post what i think of it when ive watched it and you’ll know that i least saw “hopefully” the longer version at the cinema.
the film will be 84mins, no extra scene’s!!
@t-moore: also dont foget in path to power bulma had purple hair not blue
@t-moore
u are difinitly right that why i dont understand why people are complaining this is way better than the magic begins people should be happy we all know that the next ones will be better….VEGETA…NAPPA…MAYBE FRIEZA HUH?
btw those people that are like “ohh dw if its shit just go see it so they can make a sequel and that movie will be mad” but sorry to burst ur bubble but “if” they fuked up this movie, im not saying they did, but if they did what makes u think they will make an “awesome” sequel
Production Budget: $45 million

Oh noooooo! April 10th falls on Holy Week. I won’t be able to see DBE on opening day. Oh well, I’ll see it on the 12th.
I hate to say it but i dont think fox should have the rights to something like this. I love All of Dragonball but i hope the movie fails in america so they sell the rights to someone who “knows what they are doingâ€. Not to someone who “thinks they know what they are doingâ€. I’m still going to see the movie but my expectations are alot lower that last summer when i was pumped for it. Keep Marsters and Chatwin but different Studio and director.
Sorry. SHOULDNT*** cant believe i said, should…
wait, no thats right. silly me.
@Stevie B: People say 30 minutes comparing with the bootleg dude, everyone here watched the 70 minutes bootleg, if the domestic movie is 100 minutes then there is 30 minutes missing, IF the movie is like in Asia, there is from 15 to 19 minutes missing (from the bootleg), either way, we get more footage.
@moin
so fox responded to ur email and said 84 min
that sucks
@potter:
i forgot about that thanks
yo i was watching nick and instead of seeing a trailer for dragonball evolution i saw an interview!
I just posted a thread on the forums of the uk having advance screenings and its bookable at this moment lol im booking mine know premier seats also films in the uk that have advance screening are big films and when it looks like we will be getting billboards and bus promotion soon.
if u want to c dragonball movie before everyone else send me an email that u want to c it and ill tell u how. so stop ur damn crying about o man i cant wait to c the movie and all that sh*t.
movietickets.com says the movie is an hour and 40 minutes, thats almost two hours-why are people disappointed? its even a little longer than the standardized movie.
I don’t think the fact that it is fox making the movie is really the big issue. though I am not sure they put the best actors/actress to play the parts. but I guess that we will just have to wait and see. I do like the idea of starting in the begining and making it span over like 7 movies make sort of a series out of it. Well see ya all on the 10th:!:
@SSJ Spartan:
Me too.
Dragonball came out in Australia on the 2nd
i saw it and they really need 2 do a re-make asap!!! it was really bad and it didn’t seem like Dragonball at all!!!
Does anyone know if the movie is coming out in Canada???
this is really weird, i was going to order tickets in advance for tfriday, but my movie theather says the movie opens wednesday. anyone else here about this?
thttp://www.fandango.com/dragonballevolution_116461/movietime
this is where it said wednesday
This is actually really good for me. I’m not working on that friday because of a dentist appointment. That means right after that, I can go right to the movies! :V
it says on this site that it is released April 10th … but on the advertisment trailer on TV it says April 8th ….so does it come out April 8th in UK or April 10th?
