What is really hard to predict is what the actually plot of the movie will be, obviously since its the first movie they will inevitably have to do the first DBZ saga: The Saiyan Saga, which turned out to be more of a catching up from DB saga/meeting new characters saga. Not much happened in that season, so it is possible Fox may try and skip over the Saiyan Saga to get to the Frieza Saga (though you also have to take into thought that most movies aren't that much over 2 hours, so they have to figure out a way to cram all they want into that short a timespan . . . as a result, the whole 5 minutes of Namek in 5 episodes will probably be left on the cutting room floor). Also add editing based on casting, certain hard to create characters (like King Kai, Piccolo, and Freiza), human restrictions (obviously human beings can not move the way the Z-fighters move), and, ultimately, what will please they're target demographic.
As a result of that . . . I have absolute little idea just what the movie will be like. Who knows if it will suck? Its a new time since the last anime live-action, and its not like some no name company is taking it, its Fox and they do get make a lot of movies. They did a decent job with the X-Men movie and Spiderman (not sure if either was Fox, its just a reference to nowadays movies based on cartoon characters), maybe the DBZ movie will actually be . . . daresay . . . decent? |
