A decade late and a giveadamn short.

Ah, who am I kidding? I was young enough when Dragon Ball Z was on Cartoon Network for it to have been a formative experience for me (and for Y7 to mean something). I’ll probably see it on opening day, too, since it’s being released within a few days of my birthday.

…Nope, still not excited. God knows I tried for nostalgia’s sake.

This is the first I’d heard of this, and it looks awful. Of course, it’s ten years too late for me to be in the target audience, so my opinion isn’t all that important. I am, though, glad that they’re starting with Dragonball not Dragonball Z.
Oh, and Chow Yun Fat is awesome, so I’ll probably netflix this when it comes available

Actually there’s several instances in the original manga and anime where Bulma whips out a gun.

this is to joel about the 5 minutes turning into a month thing. what alot of people who complain about that don’t realize when the show was made in japan it was running alongside the manga and you cant let the show get ahead of the source material so they had to lengthen stuff and drag stuff out to keep them from getting ahead of the manga

Didn’t get a good look at Marsters as Piccolo, but in the few chances you see his face in the vid he looks like… well, like a bald, green Spike. Meh, could be worse. I’m sure I’ll find many, many more gripes, but it’ll take time to catalogue them all… About the only positive thing I have to say about the trailer at this point is that the “Capsule Corp.” motorcycle/ATV-thing was a pretty cool effect.

YOu are right to be lukewarm on Dragonball Z. I remember in high school really trying to get into it, racing home after school to catch it on Cartoon Network. I waited one entire month for the planet that “is going to blow in 5 minutes!” to finally explode (mean the mean time both hero and villain each discovering they could power-up four times more than “anyone thought possible”).

It had to be the most drawn out plot I’ve ever seen, practically to the point of standing still. That’s just lazy writing.

Gyah… I remember the first MK and how terrible it was. It was so bad, I avoided the second.

I know that Goku isn’t supposed to be emo, but any good story needs some dramatic tension and you can’t keep giving it to the supporting characters in a theatrical format.

My eyes! The goggles do nothzing… Man, this is in the vein of MK:Annihilation.. Or whatever the Second MK movie was called. Goku is supposed to be fun loving, not emo.
