But probably the marketing in asia is not include here
Fox didnt believe in the franchise, use an script from 2002 and a Average Director in a low budget.
Instead of something like this

Fans hated the movie, non fans never got interested, bad word of mouth did the rest.
Right. A newspaper from Chile. People in Hollywood laughed at the article.
I am just saying that is were the 45 million figure came.
If the movie cost 100 million, James Wong is then a horrible director, better and longer movies has been made with 80 million, this has 85 minutes, and it looks that all the budget go the school scenes and the Grandpa Gohan fight, the most important scenes, Goku vs piccolo and Shenlong looks so cheap, those scenes were important, both disapointed.

If (and I do mean IF) this movie ever gets made for a theatrical release, this will be the perfect opportunity to start over from scratch and do the series as well as the fans some justice. Im talking total RETCON here. Replace the role of Goku and go with someone a little more credible. He doesn't necessarily have to be established or well known for that matter, but at least credible for the character. That kid with the funny hair-do just wasn't cutting it. He looked like someone who had a bad day at the hair dresser and should have asked for a refund.
Part two is where you learn from the mistakes of the past and realize that this movie is all about the fans, and as fans wed simply ask for one thing and one thing only: stop trying to bring the cheesiness from the cartoon (which was endearing) to the big screen and give us a story that is plausible and has depth. It's not just about the fights (although they make Dragonball what it is). It's also about the heart of the character and how he struggles with maintaining his innocence and carefree nature in the face of true evil while coming into the powers of a demi-god. The episodes when Frieza wounded Picolo and killed Krillin, were the best scenes in the whole sage because we felt Goku struggle with that desperation, hatred, and rage as he was faced with hopelessness. When he finally did transform...CLASSIC! Give us that type of movie instead of trying to pander to promoting toys and other wack commercialism. Take a cue from the Wachowski brothers and the success they had with The Matrix. A film that initially had no big promotional advertising but turned out to be an awesome story that has gone on to cult status. One could see the passion that went into that movie before they lost their minds hollywood-style and totally screwed the pooch with the other two. Fans would love to see that same passion develop into a trilogy based on Dragonball Z as we see Goku finally fulfill his destiny and become a Super Saiyan. Stop trying to cram the entire series into a 2 hour frame and spread it out like Peter Jackson did with Lord of the Rings. Or maybe they should hire him to write the next script so it would really be worth seeing.
I've said it once and I'll say it again: This movie can be brought to the big screen and done right. The technology exists to bring every awesome fight scene and every awesome transformation to reality. It would just take an amazing set of writers and a passionate director to give it life. The question though is "Do you continue to churn out garbage just for the sake of a check, or do you put a little thought and effort into this next project and see it become (in the words of Barney Stinson...) AWESOME?!"
My Picks for the new REBOOT:
1. Goku - Chris Hemsworth, Channing Tatum
2. Vegeta - Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Alex Frost
3. Piccolo - Chris Judge, Vin Diesel
4. King Vegeta - John Glover, Kevin McKidd
5. Nappa - Vinnie Jones, Bill Goldberg |
