The cartoon superhero comic franchise has been a given well deserved boost from Hollywood in recent years, with the majority of them featuring characters from the Marvel and DC comics universe.
 Probably the most publicly received amongst contemporary viewers.
 Part 3 so did not justify the trilogy.
 One word. Classic. The ultimate superhero fantasy: super-strength, flight, in tights.
 Never a fan. Worse among em all, if you ask me. Even the sheer awesomeness of the Silver Surfer couldn't save this bunch.
 "You won't like me when I'm hungry". The sequel instantly revived the franchise.
 Prolly the fav amongst geeks. Robert Downey Jr. at his best.
Oh yeah, i know you're anticipating for this one as well..
But when i stumbled upon news that a live movie adaptation of probably the only anime/manga I've watched and glorified was in store..
I laughed my head off. hahaha. Dragon Ball.!!!
kamehamehaness...
Scheduled to be released mid 2009, my first thoughts about the movie was the fact that it was a live film adaptation. I mean seriously, how the hell do you realistically style Goku's cartoonish hair in real life.?
 As such, apparently. The amount of gel the production crew must've used..lol.
Personifying the embodiment of good and justice in Goku is Justin Chatwin. Yes, an ang mo. Probably unknown to a few, some may remember him as the dude from The Invisible.
Would he be wearing that hideous orange outfit, you mite ask..
Based on this pic of his stunt double, apparently he will. rofl.
Goku's long time sidekick in his Dragon Ball adventures, Bulma, is played by Emmy Rossum. Yesh, it's Christine from the most recent remake of The Phantom of the Opera. Bulma is then well equipped with the voice to go with her nagging skills.
 I wonder whether dey'll incorporate the Capsule Corp. gadgets into the movie..
That's ChiChi with Bulma, alright. Indeed, romance will be featured in the movie..
Oh, and this is just comical. Casted for the role of Master Roshi, Goku's random and perverted mentor of martial arts is noneother than veteran Hongki star Chow Yun-Fat.
 Somehow, you'd feel they got this spot on.
 But why does he have hair.?
The villain of the movie is the Namekian character of Picollo. That being said, we can safely assume that the movie is set during Goku's teenage years, when Piccolo was still Goku's foe, that is if they abide by the comics faithfully. So we can expect to see Goku in highschool apparently. Another point worth lol-ing. Filling in the shoes, is Buffy the Vampire Slayer regular, James Masters. Interesting to see how they make him all green and all. Hope it won't be too plastic-ish, akin to the Hulk, minus the veins and all, of course
 He already has the set of pointy ears..
Also in the feature is Yamcha/Yamu. Wonder why they didn't include Krillin tho, him being Goku's best friend, one much closer compared to this dude.
Although I expect the movie to be rather campy and fake, no way in hell is any shape of barrier physically or mentally stopping me from watching the movie. One just hopes that the effects would be awesome and realistically special effects-ish, with the plot sticking to the original story as close as possible. Still, you can tell that they're taking the movie seriously with plans for two sequels tabled, should the movie be a hit. Auditions for the role of Super Saiyan Goku, maybe.?
"And I.......
.......eeeeeyaiiiii....."
hahahahahaha.
I believe we have a candidate in thee. aiman started it..=D.
