How Should A DragonBall Movie Be Done?

For many years fans have waited to see the DragonBall series adapted into an official live action movie and got just that when Dragonball: Evolution released. The hype and the film’s music was probably the only two good things that came from this flick as fans were disgusted with how the movie itself turned out. The failure of DB Evolution leaves questions on when and if a sequel or reboot will be made.

    I still find they must make a live action reboot. because with the right amount of money ( about 200.000.000. would be fine) and if they choose the right actors , script writer and director ( james marsters should still be lord piccolo) everything will come out just great.

    The problem is the casting has been left too long now, and some of the kids wouldn’t be right anymore, but this is how it should have been in my opinion. Aim for a Transformers (1) style balance of comedy, drama, and action. I might commission some posters with that cast, will send to this website if they get done – maybe in a few months.

    all live action flims should be researched to understand the charaters and stick to the main story line. when the movie is not done on by the anime or the comic blood it often gets the fans mad because the nature of the story is so fake and stupid it makes us not want to watch it. for example the dragonball movie that came out a few years ago. It didnt stick to the story line. goku never went to school nor drove a car. He was a trained fighter by gohan and he met chi chi as a child. He met bloma as a child too. Roshi lived on a iland and he first met him on a beach trying to put a fire out for the ox king. Putting a fake story line in just turns the fans off. If they directors only watched and did the researched and repected the anime as well as the manga it would be better. by doing both you get the true charater for the stroy. Rattize has hair down to his butt and vageta hair is more fluffier. Please take time and watch and read the anime and manga.
