That trailer had better be fake…
I can’t believe how bad this is.
This movie is going to suck hard. Piccolo isn’t green? Bulma doesn’t have blue hair? How hard is it to find a decent blue wig?
I hate when the big movie companies changes the concepts and storyline of great work!! They mess up the x-men franchise and now they are going to mess up Dragonball z franchise. I hope they dont put out that movie like that!! it will flop. They need to change it!!!!!!!!!!!
The trailer looks horrible. I’m one of the biggest Dragonball fans and would actually go see it about 3x. But after seeing that trailer I’ll wait until it’s on T.V. What are you guys thinking. All you have to do is watch the cartoon and follow in it’s footsteps. Then after that get a good team to work on the graphics. Easy as 1…2…3. I think that you should have started a website to get feedback from the fans before making the movie. Then you would’ve had an excellent idea on how to make the movie and wgat should be in it. Any pointers feel free to e-mail me. I just dont want it to be a bad movie. It’s looks like it’s on the same path as “Street Fighter” the movie. And we all know how that panned out. Please make a good movie. I’M BEGGING YOU. I’VE WAITED TOOOOOOOOO LONG FOR THIS.
