Akira Toriyama's comments on Dragonball Evolution Movie

Man i can't wait for this movie to come out! Why? Cause i can't wait to read something NOT dragonball related on a regular basis. Don't get me wrong, i wanna rent this movie which means it looks kinda good to me. But what are we gonna have next? An article about what Justin Chatwin's parents think about the movie after seeing their son commit himself to such a project? Oh, i can't wait for someone to post up the "dutch" trailor in which they show us a different shade of "orange" for Goku's outfit! Or maybe some highlights in his spiked up hair!

"Perhaps, this might become a great masterpiece of power! Hey, I look forward to it!!"

Brilliant man.

ROR-

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!

yeesh man...he didn't seem too convinced about the movie...

I just hope they stick to the story line. No major story line changes like Rogue & Wolverine, Peter Parker & Mary Jane being his 1st love. What the F....!

Let me translate what Akira said:

"This movie sucks compared to the stuff I did, but I was paid an assload of money for this movie and I get a percentage of the back end net profit of this film as well so I want as many people as possible to go see it so I can maximize my profits."

That's what he said. Or something like that lol:) I'm not a big Dragonball fan but this looks like it will be a good eye-candy movie and that's about it

Goku isn't of Japanese decent; he's an alien.


And I agree with Shaman. There's waaay too many posts on here about this movie. I run a fansite on Frank Miller and I've only posted three articles. There's a bunch of new stuff about him all the time, but I don't post the majority of it because I know that nobody would care.

Akira Toriyama doesn't really care what happens to the movie he doesn't own the rights any more, and he's working on other projects that are more important to him. he's done Dragonball, Dragonball Z, and the end of Dragonball GT, all most 11 years ago, so in his prospective he's been there and done that.

@Fearless Goku was given that name by a person of "japanese type" decent. He is actually an alien and besides the world of dragonball never really put a big emphasis on nationality it was simply "ok hes a human...and hes a saiyan and hes a namek"

This movie will fail... Fox knows this....

Or else why would they have an awful official site for the movie? it doesn't have anything. Fox hasn't even bothered to put the trailer on quicktime or itunes... that for me speaks volumes. And the movie is just 2 months from being released.

Have any of you seen the merchandise for this movie? the toyline? the videogame? (a PSP exclusive???) all of them look extremely rushed. The director's last movie was final Destination 3? even Akira Toriyama thought this movie was a failed version of his creation (until fox gave him a check or told him he was breaking his contract so he should shut up, and even then he gave a very diplomatic, non compromising answer). The release is schedualed for a wednesday? when usually new movies are released on fridays. I mean all of this tells me that they know it will suck... they are just trying to have it make the least amount of damage possible (or the most amount of money possible before everyone realizes how bad it really is).

Not only that but... if you look around the big movie/entertainment sites, there is very little mention of this movie, usually all the raving fanboys of the movie are digging for the newest little bit of info (Hey Ror!!! now Piccolo has balls!!! damn you Fox!!! he reproduced by dividing himself, no balls needed there) and trying to convince everyone that this movie will rule by saturating sites with info that no one cares about, trying to get everyone to support the movie they think will redefine the action genre in Hollywood for years to come, and expect everyone to just accept every opinion they have and worship this movie. I for one will not and I still think the newest trailer is terrible and am convinced this movie will fail misserably.

I'm betting the next post is from Doritos telling me to shut up since I'm a hater. If any of you have a different opinion, I'd love to hear it, with arguments, not just saying the trailer looks badass.

To be honest im not an anime fan anyway, not that ive seen that many but Akira was the first one i saw and i loved it..so then i watched a good few more and they were just godawful. Its like just because its anime people think its the business. i know this chick who loves it, watches every one of them she can lay her hands on..so i ask her what she sees and them since the story is shite, animation poor and the cast just screaming what passes for dialogue at each other..she says: "but its a cartoon with blood and tits in it"..lol

hey fivebees i saw Push opening day and thought it was pretty interesting, i think w/ a follow up the story could get more interesting. the most amazing part was Dakota Fanning not screaming in the movie like she does in every other movie she is in or being annoying.

Ah im going to wait and see what he delivers..yes The Happening was one of the worst movies i have ever seen, but i actually enjoyed all of his others..yes even Lady In The Water! But of course it may well suck.

Zuko's being played by the kid from Slumdog Millionaire. And he's [frick]in' Indian! I don't think that they should be Asian because the show was made in America and is set in an alternate world but INDIAN! M. Night Shamalan damn you! Lol. It's gonna suck hard.

I for one dont care that Goku's white (he can be Black and be played by Chris Rock for all i care) or Piccolo's not green.

I juz hope they deliver the plot properly and not follow DOA and SpeedRacer's footsteps. They should also not mess up the fight scenes and i hope what i saw in the trailer is not all they're offering! The strikes had no impact. The jumping scenes was obviously wirework and had no momentum! They should do what KungFu Hustle did and not Crouching Tiger.

Which explains why he couldn't care less for what the movie will end up looking like. I guess it was easy for him to take Fox's money and say "It'll be briliant" with a big sarcastic grin on his face.

Roughly translated in laymen's terms: Look at it as "NOT dragonball" but as something totally different but with the same concept which made us fans of the series in the first place.

Hopefully, the "details" will not overshadow the "concept" or else they'll totally loose us! It's not looking too good so far.

[frick]ing americans!
you [frick]ed Dragon Ball...nothing is gonna be the same!
it's like a big black spot on a white wall...you [frick]ed up the anime that revolutionized the concept of the anime >.if you wanna do live-action movies go make your own silly comic characters!
