You'd be surprised. Even after the heap of bad reviews started coming in slews for this movie, there are still die hard fans who refuse to believe this movie could possibly be that bad until they see it with their own eyes. Hell there are fans who will only hold any credence towards "good" reviews given by DB otaku who are too blinded by their fanboism to realize the movie is actually garbage. Honestly people, do you know why you can usually tell a movie is going to bad based only on the trailer? Because they take the best shots of the movie and mince them into the trailer, this is especially the case for an action movie. If the DBE trailer looked that bad than that says to me that the hardcore action sucks, the clips display bad acting too, so what's left? Essentially nothing but a steaming pile. I can't hold the "I told you so" back long enough. |

If there's any sort of "bonus" at the end, it should be an apology from the filmmakers... |

I was hoping it would be so bad it's good, but alas it doesn't seem to be the case. I'll probably rent it and give it the MST3K treatment on EVERY little thing. |

Now I wonder if someone could compare it with Dragonball: The Magic Begins.

May I dare say that anyone that goes willingly and pays to see this movie is a masochist?...
(I know I will when it comes to Greece...I'll go together with friends to laugh our...off)

Yes. Another variant of that I've heard is "peas and carrots," although that sounds less like the source material. |

Jeez, this really messed up some of my neurons that were dormant for a long time. At least you save a lot of us a handfull-o-money.

I for one am not paying to see this movie. I will give my money, instead, to some other deserving movie that I've probably already seen and walk into DB: E. I think I'll pay for Watchmen again. But seriously, FOX, you're done. Epic fail. Time to clean house and get rid of your top execs cos they are like a virus infecting your movies whose only concern is suing companies to stop good movies from actually being made. |

Haha, to bad for my brother since he was really looking forward to this (presumably) craptastic movie.

I'm hoping this movie won't end up damaging the franchise as a whole. Neither the fans nor FUNimation will want it.

To people trying to justify their optimism, may it rest in peace:
You were right to make a point of saying that no one could know what the quality of the film would be. To actually do that one has to see the film in question; end of discussion. On the other hand, dissenters who looked at the growing amount of evidence associated with the project (including a compelling mark of approval from Toriyama) and came to the conclusion that this was something that had almost everything going against it's success were also right. Dragonball isn't Little Red Riding Hood or Jack and The Beanstalk; it's the product of a very particular man's imagination and his imagination in particular is very peculiar. I am neither impressed (nor surprised, groan) that in attempting to create a live action adaption of his work he was not more significantly involved. I wonder if anyone who understood what needed to be done was involved. I think that alone was reason enough to approach this with some apprehension; those who wanted to believe otherwise were only doing just that. |

When news of this was first released, I knew this would be horrid. Now almost a year later, there is solid proof this movie is garbage.
This movie was a failure to begin with. Picolo looked like a rejected smurf/star trek character, Goku was a angsty, hot headed alien and to top it all off, Mystical beings. There wasn't one redemable part in this movie. It was failure the second it started. Which I knew it would months ago. |

I caught the 2pm show at the Shinegawa Prince Cinema just outside the JR train station there. Notably, the ticket was 18 bucks. Technically I paid more to see Dragonball Evolution than I've ever paid to see any movie ever. |
