'Dragonball Evolution' Sequel Has Got a Script Written
See larger image

A sequel to "" is already in the works. Confirming on what he has hinted earlier, leading man insisted that a script to the follow-up installment of the manga adaptation has been penned. "I know they've written a second one and it's pretty far out there," so he claimed.

On the premise of the sequel, the actor who plays Goku in the James Wong-directed live-action film said, "The second one really goes to some different places that I've never seen in any comic book adaptation." Though revealing that the script has been written, the 26-year-old admitted that he hasn't read it.

While nothing is certain yet on the development of "Dragonball Evolution" sequel, Chatwin spilled that he and co-star would love to do another movie for this adaptation film. also sounded similar hope, adding "We're going to get to 'Dragonball Z' later where Piccolo becomes youthful and he's going to become the Piccolo that most people recognize."

Earlier this year, Chatwin has hinted to SciFiNow that a script has been written for "Dragonball Evolution" sequel. "If there were to be a sequel I think it...well, I know that it would go to a really interesting place, because they already have the second script written," the "" actor at the time said.

Adapted from Akira Toriyama's famous Japanese manga of the same name, "Dragonball Evolution" revolves around Goku's journey to collect all seven Dragonballs. Having had one of the balls, the young warrior must now gather around six others before Lord Piccolo gets his hands on them and destroys Earth. The live-action film produced by stars Justin Chatwin, Emmy Rossum and among others, and will come out in U.S. theaters on April 10.

Look, this movie is disappointing to most DB fans 'cause the fact that it doesn't follow the original manga for shit.....Goku was not some bitch ass white boy and even though this is an adaptation it is a very shitty one, If a sequel comes out I believe it will be as shitty as the first
posted by bitchtits on Nov 03, 2009
first of all, the film itself had the shittiest cgi ever, second of all why make a sequel if the first one was such a fucking flop and thirdly it did not feel like dragonball z it felt like some shitty kung fu film with shit acting

@ jonathanbund. I'm as American as they come and I 100% agree w/ what you said. It's hilarious that people try and dispute this. Batman was finally brought back to proper form detailing Bruce Wayne's transition from man to legendary symbol. Fans would be up in arms if the likes of Batman or Green Lantern were tampered w/. Why couldn't they stick to the original Dragonball tale? I'm no where near Asian but it broke my heart to see one of my favorite characters EVER suck so bad on a live action flick. There's a lot of fans that had been waiting for this for eons. Your post spoke for the TRUE Dragonball fans beyond the Asian community. As odd as this may sound, I'd like another film. IF DONE CORRECTLY, because I love DBZ!!!

Ok in the cartoon series Goku don't even look asian! AT ALL! And other characters did look asian, such as, Yajorbi. So how are you ppl guna say that Goku is asian.. if he was asian they would make him LOOK asian correct?? AND the movie was awesome!! So shove it!

This movie sucks because its not a good movie. Regardless of if its like the manga or not. Its just a bad, quickly made, shit movie with horrible writing, production, and directing. They should let a better director shoot the film.

Hey cynic, were you raised in a all white house hold, did you wear a white robe and hood? because according to your comments, you come across as an ignorant whitey. the previous post had all good facts about why Goku has the asian features. yes he is from another planet but he resembles and asian guy. so with all your racist comments, go do what you do best down south. go fuck your sister and knock up your aunt.

GOKU was asian! =_= just listen you @ss! Goku is not just some anime character or some cool idea that some japanese guy drew on a paper one day and said " hmmm yea this would work" Goku is more then that! If you were Asian American you would understand how much This Movie sucked! -Let ME EXplain- Goku is Sun Wu-Kong the Monkey king(Son Goku in Japanese) the Monkey king is a 500 year old chinese fable called Journey to the West, Told for generations about a monkey born of a rock, who travel on a gold cloud who Fought Demons, Dragons and even tested the Gods. It's a Story told Over and over again, from Grandfather to my father and to me. A Japanese man inspired by the tale rewrote goku as a boy in the orginal tales of dragon ball. Thats why goku turns into a monkey thats why he has a monkey tale thats why he rides on a cloud! =_= IT killed me to see Goku my childhood hero played by some lil white boy. WHATS THE BIG DEAL??!?! YOU ASK?!?! what if Superman was Muslim?!?! what if Batman was Jamaican?!?! what if the Flash was Mexican?!?! what if Cyborg from Teen Titan was played by a Chinese in a Chinese production of Teen Titan the Life action movie?!?! Wouldn't you felt robbed from you childhood hero? Wouldn't you called that movie the worst piece of crap of a movie you'd ever seen?

First of all, if you don't like a movie....don't watch it, don't bitch and winge like a fuckwit. Open your eyes...this movie was an ADAPTATION...meaning they adapted it for modern mainstream society...notice how it was set in modern times! Fuckin' dumb fucks. It was very similar to the original DB series in storyline (not DBZ for any retards who thought that) And considering they fit the saga into one movie without confusion they have done well. Sure there were small things that were not exact to the series, but thats to be expected in an adaptation. Making it exactly the same is pointless, because if was exactly the same, when why would we watch it? We have already seen it in the series why watch the exact same thing in a movie....geez. And anyone who complains that Goku wasn't asian....eat a dick....he was saiyan, and his appearances on the series were much more similar to a caucasian than an asian. Just because the series was made by asians doesnt make everyone asian. Take your wussy yellow asses and fuck yourselves you pin dick pricks. Anyone who DIDN'T like this movie, and made some comment on a blog or forum somewhere needs their head shoved up their ass for being a narrow minded piece of shit, and a disgrace to society.

film was awesome... they're not going to make it identical to the series... otherwise yamcha would have a pet flying cat thing and there would be a talking pig called oolong... the critics of this film are idiots :) The next 1 will be awesome, I'm hoping it's the Saiyan saga, starts with Raditz then more training for goku then the vegeta + nappa battle! :D I wonder if they'll stick with the plot of Goku dying :S

I liked it, despite my previous feelings towards anime/manga turned into live action. I think it was a pretty darn good adaptation. All these people who say, "Yeah I never saw this movie, But it SUCKS!" should really give it a try, if nothing else to get a good laugh out of it. Seriously, I had my DB/DBZ life back when it started on CN, then I fell out of it, but this movie took me back. Loved every second of it, and I know I'll watch it again.

lets ask spike lee to make a superman sequel and put a black man to be superman. Made this black superman look pussy as hell, he cannot fight, cannot fly and all he does all day is try to find luois and fuck her. And see how white people will react to that. And also put all the supporting(shit)characters white so no one will complain.

Who the fuck said Goku is not Asian. That person must be a dick head!!! Then tell me this, Batman got the eyes shade like Asian, black hair, yellowskin, and even knows kungfu and yet you fucking people still think he is white. How about superman, he is an alien and if so then how come he is white? you shit!!! Why don't you go and make a black superman movie and see how you will get burned by your white ass.

A lot of you people trying to complain about the movie are fucking idiots. First off to those of you that want to complain how Goku wasn't asian.. he aint fucking asian in the damn series. He's a fucking sayian. Just because he talks japanese in the series doesn't mean he is japanese. Secondly, who the fuck is Grandpa Goku? These blogs must have been done by 14 year olds that haven't got a clue. The movie was good! It was fucking live action DragonBall! Any fan would love it and be excited for a sequel. Sure, some of the special effects sucked, like Gozaru could have been waaaay bigger! AND Shemron!! WTF! He was a little ass bitch dragon, and totally fake, but the sequel can only get better! I can't wait!

It's interesting reading through the blogs and reading all of the complaints. Never is the movie like it's predescessor. The show was long, it went through many different saga's, you can't put that all into one movie. Secondly, the changes that were made were to expand the audience base. It had the aspect of realism with out being realistic is what we all hope to say. I enjoyed the film being a big db(z)(gt) fan and I'm not dissapointed with the live action adaptation, the did quite well and got a good portion of the story out of the way in the film to pave the way for a saiyan upcoming. I remember somebody posting they didn't understand why it's called a manga adaptation, the reason they call it an adaptation is because the cartoon is the adaptation, because everyone here is posting about the difference between the movie and the cartoon, yet no one brought up the comic book similarities.... just some food for thought.

its not easy to put a whole series into one movie. they had to make changes to the movie because it would be to fucking hard to make one movie exactly like it. so shut hte fuck up. the movie was badass

I just saw it. I dreadedand dreaded this movie from the word go...ku. But I have to say it captured the feel of early dragonball while having fun in a society of todays timeframe. Yamcha was hysterical, bulma was perfectly irritating, and goku (aside from looking perfectlylike gohan) was fun and funny in his own way. This was not the best movie I've ever seen but I enjoyed it for what they were trying to accomplish and the nostalgia. The spiderman movies suck large male parts compared to the movies so why does the dragonball series have to live up to some even higher standard. I can't wait for a sequal. I just wanna see future trunks. =)

Ok again, its DRAGONBALL NOT DRAGONBALL Z SO STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT VEGETA AND SHIT. I liked it because I liked Dragonball and dbz. I am glad he wasn't asian because he is a saiyan not an asian. Also I laughed at a previous comment posted that he looks like gohan,... he does =O. But I just hope the next sequal has more fighting in it. And god I hate Fox they really make some awful movies.

I love how people are complaining on the movie when obviously they liked it enough to watch the whole thing.this movie was so bad ass. If you are a fan of dbz. Give it a chance. Not every damned detail needs to fit. They try to get this movie realistic. Notice how it's set in present time, they have a charger in the movie but no dinosaurs. So obviously they are in our time. Just cause grandpa gohan is alive doesn't ruin the movie, nor does anything else. Now let the sequels come out and let me see ssj goku or vegeta

Let's Hope They stick to the mangas and episodes this time. I haven't Seen Evolution but I heard it sucked due to the fact that it really had nothing to do with the original DragonBall. And me being a major fan of DB/DBZ, I was insulted of what James Wong did. He completely changed the whole story around. I wanna see some familiar actions and phrases from the episodes and I wanna see the Kaio-Ken Attack in action. To James Wong: PLEASE Stick to the Original!

I'm sure there will be a sequel. 20th Century Fox doesn't give a "Flying Nimbus" about the 72% of die hard fans seething with verbal assaults for this film, nor do they give a crap about the 25% whom say it was "OK". It only gives a crap about the 100% of money it received from those brave enough to see it. I personally don't know how some were able to sit through the film for even an hour let alone find it remotely enjoyable. I am convinced that Dragon ball universe (includes Z and GT) can not be made into live action thanks to Hollywood. These actors should stick with cable television, along with practically everyone involved with the making of this film. The scripts should be burnt. Anyone who saw or read them should have they're eyes plucked out, if they're eyes didn't melt out of the sockets at first glance. Do people really need two pairs of Dragon ball to suck?

I’m a fan of the series, although I‘ve only seen half of the episodes of the original DB. Anyway, here's my 2 cents on the movie (compared to what I‘ve seen): First off: Goku I figure Goku was made a teenager and not a kid to make it easier for them to film, I don’t think it’s a big deal. They made him white...so what. almost every other actor in that movie was Asian. Besides, as people said before, Goku was alien, so his race is fully debatable. His build was WAY off, but again, it’s early in the series and he could build up a bit of strength. His hair looked more like his son gohan’s hair. He ESPECIALLY looked like Gohan when he was suited up to fight Chi Chi at the end. It didn’t really look like Goku’s hair until after he fought Piccolo. I still preferred it to the wigs, though. I missed his monkey tail, and he never used the staff himself, but the Kame Hame Ha was done beautifully and the fighting he used was spectacular. Can’t wait to see SSJ. Master Roshi I wish that they at least had Chow Yun-Fat old looking like in the series. Bald, bearded, and wrinkly. But other than physical appearance, Yun-Fat was spot on as Roshi. He was perverted, yet a good teacher. Oh, and did anyone else notice that when Goku and him were fighting in Roshi’s house, they sorta went into ‘burst’ mode? (Goku punching with Roshi blocking in super speed) Bulma Again, a very nice job. The hair can sorta be overlooked, though I think she would have been cuter with the turquoise hair. The fact that she uses guns is actually right from the Anime. Hell, she used a gun on Goku in the very first episode. I liked how they changed that for the movie. Her use of the capsule was cool too. I mean, how stupid would it have been if they had a big *poof* appear in the movie? Yamcha Everyone keeps crying about how

I think they did an alright job of it, yeah some bits were changed but i spose all in all it was an alright starting point. However they can do a lot better, and for starters they can make it longer!!!!! I don't think they should skip to frieza, they should focus more on the plot in the next one and start introducing characters like krillin and then head into the saiyan saga where raditz comes along, even if they only do the fight with raditz and the threat of nappa and vegeta and only a quick glimpse of those two, it would be awesome and would certainly make as a superb sequel. I hope they don't rush it because they dragonball world is massive and they could do so much with this, i really hope they take advantage of the intricate storyline and stretch things out to keep fans happy, they could make ten films and it would just keep getting better and better if they focus on a saga or even half a saga for each movie, just making sure the plot is good and the fighting sequences get better, i'm happy!

The thing that probably ticked me off the most was that they made Ki out to be Air Bending. But like Grave23575 said they had to make it realistic but still come on Air Bending is far from what Ki is. I do hope sequels will be made though especially if Vegeta is eventually shown. He's by far my favorite Character.

I've been a fan of dragonball for years, I have seen every episode and every movie. I'll admit, parts of the movie pissed me off something fierce, But what people need tot understand is that if they would have made it exactly like the manga and/or anime it would have sucked because it would be far too unrealistic. They wanted to make it seem like something that could actualy happen, although everyone knows it can't, they still gave it a shot and you gotta give them credit for that. Just look at every adaptation into live action ever made. None of them stayed true to the original storie, but people still loved them. I can't wait for the sequal and I realy enjoyed the movie. Now I don't mean to be a miljy drip from the end of your dick, but for god's sake shut the fuck up and let people enjoy it, cause if you are truly a fan of Dragonball- Dragonball GT Then you apreciated it for what it was and just be glad that they made a live action adaptation cause seriously, how often do you see a live action version of an Anime? I know there have been a few, but not many.

This movie was not that bad. Yes there were parts I'm like OMG who the hell is that, or what the fuck are they doing? What, they dont do that. I have seen every episode and movie ever made of Dragonball to Dragonball GT. I love Dragonball - Dragonball GT. The only problem that I had with this movie was that the characters did not act like who they were supposed to be. Grandpa Gohan is not supposed to be in Goku's life, Goku kills Gohan as a child, but at least he died in the beginning of the movie and didn't live through the whole movie.

The movie was pretty good in my opinion. Although it wasn't the best movie I saw it was awsome but maybe could have been improved a bit. I really hope for a sequel which will hopefully have Vegeta as the main villian because Vegeta is awsome. Also alot of people complain that Goku should have been Asian but on the tv show he wasn't Asian, he wasn't even from Earth.

Good movie adapation, but they shoulda chopped ozaru tail off to transform goku back. I thought he was about to go SSj4. It would be interesting to see how the sequels turn out. All you haters shut up. You wanted this for so long and you get it and all you can do is complain. I am so happy that it finally came out. Sequels are going to kick ass when goku goes SSJ. Hopefully those fight scenes stay true to the manga. I would recommend watching the anime first before watching the movie.

Well I saw the movie yesterday and I must say that I wasn't so dissapointed as I thought I would be. It's not exactly like the manga but there are many elements of it in the movie! They changed them just a bit so that it could become a good movie. The only thing I didn't like was, that it was to short.

i loved this movie. i thought it was just great. i have a couple of little gripes with it. a couple plot changes and events but i got over them no problem. i think that the changes that they made to adapt it to live action worked perfect. iam a huge fan of the anime and i thought they adapted it very well. i am so glad with what they did with it cause putting the anime into live action absolutly would not work. it would look rediculous and nobody would take the threat of the destruction of the planet seriously to busy laughing at everything else. i like how they kept things that shouldnt be changed like gokus hair staying the same that the gel would not hold. lol. i cant wait for more movies. i think though what one person here said about the next being birth of a super sayan wouldnt work yet. goku doesnt even know he is sayan. he just found out at the end that he was from space. they definitly have to do the sayan saga movie. when vegeta comes to earth. goku versus vegeta in any fight is the best ones. and i really hope they have vegeta turn into an ape and goku is in for a fight that will practicly kill him but he will come out on top. of course. but this could be a great movie franchise. so many villians and so many locations to be used. and even though they changed some things they can still use so much from all the db sagas and they can work cause its the movies. and to all you who hated the movie oh well. keep the cartoons if thats all you want to see. i have seen them and i like something new. but for us who liked it i hope our voice is heard and they continue to make movies for us who want a new story with different twists. most who went to see this movie were so skeptical or expected to see the anime on screen. but what would be the pooint of doing something that everyone has seen already. so get over it. MAKE MORE MOVIES. EVERYBODY FOLLOW THE ALONG. LOL. THANKS.

OMG you people are still whining and complaining that the movie is not like the manga or that Goku is not asian. Quit being retarded and realize that this is 2009 morons. And please if you're such a fan of the manga/anime then stick to those. Some of us want something new and interesting rather than knowing how the movies are gonna end or knowing what's gonna happen next. So goku doesn't have big hair, who cares. That would just look too retarded on a real life person. Alex, where the hell do you get Emmy Rossum being Asian? And who the fuck is Grandpa Goku? And J Dizzle, after seeing the movie twice I have not once heard the pronunciation of the Kamehameha as Kummi Hummi Ha idiot. In a way Gokus Dragon Fist was in the movie just in the form of the final Kamehameha. All in all, you "fans" of Dragonball/Z/GT keep crying in your pillows, because a movie adaptation didn't show you what you've already seen over and over again, and just STFU and don't watch the movie.

In the DBE sequel, Goku and Chichi have to give birth to their son, Gohan, and Piccolo becomes a good guy/ally to the gang so he can train Gohan to become a super saijin, like in the Dragonbal Z animated series.

this was possibly the worst movie i've ever seen! goku is meant to be a young child and have bigger hair! roshi is meant to be old and have a beard! bulma has dyed her hair black for some reason and uses guns! was that even piccolo or what the hell was that? where the fuck was krillin? you do not pronounce the kamehameha as "kummi..hummi..ha" and why does yamchal look and talk like a surfer? an all round fucked up movie!

To yoho and all others saying the movie sucked : Fuck off . Why dont u guys invest a shit load off money and cram a kiddie program of several episodes long into a 90 minute movie. All the actors are superb and the directing excellent. How is the action suppose to be if it is aimed at kids ? Master Roshi was never serious but a perv. Thats called comic relieve. If you want a serious chow yun fat rather see bulletproof monk or replacement killers or the house of flying daggers . I am 35 yrs old and saw the movie 6 times already .

All of you saying it sucked doesn't have any form of imagination! :-) A lot went into the film and should be appreciated. Great acting Justin Chatwin!
posted by Vegetta on May 12, 2009
Only problem with the movie it was too short. Other than that it was excellent even my fiance thinks Justin Chatwin is mr hotness himself . It is not the animated series but that is available on dvd for everyone complaining. I liked it a lot and the live actors are even better than the cartoons . I hope there will be a franchise like Harry Potter and not just a sequel.

In the cartoon Goku - Not Asian Master Roshi - Asian Piccolo - Not Asian Bulma - Not Asian Chi Chi - Asian Yamcha - Asian Grandpa Gohan - Asian So they did a good job with getting the characters right. The story was pretty good too, considering its only the begining of Dragonball (NOT Dragonball Z). If you remember rightly Goku was not friends with Krillin immediately. In DBE he was not friends with Krillin... perfect story match. Sequel - Goku gets married between DBE1 and 2, and chi chi is pregant. The tournament.. Goku meets Krillin, old piccolo has a go again, Tien comes in. At the end the tournament fight with piccolo starts fighting goku after fighting many other contestants. He just appears as the last contestant. third sequel - The fight between old piccolo and goku starts. Constant fighting, blasting, smashing up the tournament stadium. Then he spits out the egg thus splitting kame from piccolo. Egg = Young Piccolo. While this is happening a flashback of Piccolo is occuring, as during DBE 2 he went to look for the Dragonballs again... and wished the dragon that if he is defeated by goku in the tournament he want to immedicately become young again to carry on the fight. Phwoaarr young piccolo comes out of the egg and continues the fight. 1/2 Way through film Goku defeats young piccolo. And he is casted into the wilderness. Gohan is born, 2 years later... and u see a boy tumbling down the hill crying as he falls off cliff, this unknown boy suddenly changed red and flew into tree, Goku runs down to help... and was gobsmacked. Shortly after that, a scene from space as a pod comes down to earth. Unknown figure comes out... flies over piccolo whos in the wilderness trying to regain his power by training, piccolo senses power and meets goku... blah blah blah the end. then comes dragonball Z!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! come on dudes, the current film is worth it, and is a great start to the franchise. It has not finished yet so give them a chance.

This movie is the biggest crap i've seen in years. a mock to the fans and the anime. Catwoman was a masterpiece compared to this shit. Im glad it has failed at the box office, thats what fox bastards deserve. and FUCK U all who support this trainwreck of a movie, thanks to dumbassess like you , the companies like Fox dont have the minimum respect for us fans. They know that no matter how hard they rape a series, they'll always get wuick money from the stupid fans

you k n o w what the movie was pretty good o and stop saying "its nothing like the anime, and im a dbz fan so i should know" 1st off u dont know cuz if u a true fan then u would know that the movie is based on the original japanese manga
posted by xorcyst on Apr 22, 2009
i'm with grave24, this movie had alot of nods to the original anime. and if you truely know db in its original japanese content its VERY perverted, db especially. so they had to make it likeable and notable by everyone. goku always is eating, yamcha sounds and acts just like yamcha, piccolo is dead on, bulma is good. roshi is a perv, the oozaru was in there and was well done considering the change in height, and anyone saying well they dont say why he turns into one, well if you know anything about db they never explain it till DBZ when he finds out he's a saiyan. so they did a pretty good job adapting something so likd by many and made it so it could be understood by all. if it was made just for us it woulda done badly cause if you dont know db ppl would be like wtf. they'll make more reguardless of you all hating it cause the DB franchise is a licesne to print money, they'll just prolly use a director who has seen the anime next time to get more of a proper feel out of it.

excuse me people, i am a big dbz fan. i have been since i was a kid. the movie was a let down but i wouldnt call it shit. they changed a lot of stuff but i still had the same feeling as wen i watch the anime. cant wait 4 sequal
posted by grave24 on Apr 15, 2009
all u people out there that call it self dragonball fans arnt really true fans if y'all were true fans you would go c it no matter what me and my girlfriend went and saw it she thought she would go n being lost but she loves the movie beging to end and wasnt lost one bit and she wants to c it again and for all u people who complain about it not being like the anime if u payed close attention they had tons of references to dragonball and the reason goku didn't have his tell is becuz he's older and in the king picolo saga he got rid of it around the age that chatwins goku is so I'm sure gp gohan pulled it off when he was little they had the power pole in it roshi was still a perv and parks yamcha sound just like the animes voice actor piccolo was dead on and the person earlier that said piccolo souldve had antena he did so all in all I loved the movie I saw transfomers1 in theaters 10 times I'll beat that record with dbe by 25 LOL so I'm really hopein that the sequel will be made just to piss all of u so called devoted fans off oh by the way there suppsed to b 4 movies total

posted by dragon ball fanatic on Apr 14, 2009
i am a true fan of all dragonballs and this film was not bad to be totally honest. my complaints are the lack of characters and the look of them, the faint looking energy attacks, battle scenes should of been far more fierce expecially between goku & piccolo, more special moves should of been involved such as goku's monkey fist and some of piccolo's moves, master roshi living in the city, the great ape being much larger along with shenron and also shenron being able to speak and piccolo having antennas.

Ok. First off this movie was NOT that bad. The animations were GOOD for a low budget film. Alright the kamehameha may have been a bit "whispy" and It should have been more solid but overall the animation wasn't bad. The acting could have been better..but hey why dont you try acting. Its not as easy as it looks. Also, this movie was NOT dragonball or even dragonball z. It was BASED off of dragonball but it was mainly created to introduce the characters to their audience and sort of set the stage for the sequels. I hope they had enough money to make a second. But I hope they have a new director. James Wong did alright with this low budget film but they need a real director sitting in his seat. I definatly think this would be something for Zack Snyder to tackle. Im eager for the release of a sequel. Maybe it will be to more of the viewer's satisfaction.

this movie sucked. idk why all of you are settling for this crap. they could have made this movie a lot better! if you settle for this cuz they put in hard work... then your not really a fan. full of cheesy lines and horrible acting... how the eff did piccolo get out of the mafuba in the first place? how did piccolo and mai even start together? at what point did u get mai's name? all the fight scenes were in close up shots, so you really couldn't see any of it! the final battle was horrible and short! nothing like dragonball! i've seen better, if not, the same special effects in saturday morning shows like pwer rangers!

I like dragon ball z. But honestly, that movie was the second worst movie ever made! First being Hellboy 2. If they do do a sequel they need to get a different director that knows what he is doing.
posted by DBZ-Masta on Apr 11, 2009
I enjoyed it. I saw the full fight scene where Goku is at the party before seeing the movie. One complaint I do have is that they could have made Oozaru and Shenron like they are in the anime. Also have Chow Yun-Fat portray Master Roshi more serious, he acted goofy at times but for the most part did great, the same goes for the other major characters. I think the sequel should be about the saiyan saga. And this time follow it more closely than they did Dragonball Evolution. and this time give Piccolo antennaes and have Krillin and Tien and Chaotzu and kami and popo and King Yemma in it

i have dragon ball tattoos and to think that this is how they realistically portray the db series is really sad i though once you hit rock bottom theres nowhere to go but up. i hit rock bottom and started drilling. frankly i want a refund. i have waited for this movie for years and this is how they do me. tsk tsk.

I am a mega fan of the db, z and GT series. I watched the movie a couple of days ago and I confess I was expecting the wost... I was pleasantly surprsed! It was actally really well done, It's completely different to the anime and the manga but that was expected. I am really looking forward to the dvd release and really hope that they make a sequal. Ignore the idiots that flame this movie, it really isn't that bad. - That's coming from a fan whose been watching it for decades.

I've been a Dragonball/Z/GT fan for many years now, and I would like to say Dragonball: Evolution was pulled off very well. I noticed a sequel may be green-lit, not to mention the cliffhanger at the end of the movie. If Vegeta is ever going to appear in a possible sequel, I would be honored to audition for his character. Not only is he my favorite character in the story, he and I are truely alike in many forms, both in physique and mind. All I want is a little direction as how to go about this business. Who I should contact, where I should go, etc. Please help me out in any way you can, it would be greatly appreciated.
