Lets ****ing face it, in the anime they may look cool but its not the producers fault if they look ridiculously stupid in real life..

A blessing in the Sky could be a CGI revamp maybe.

Dragon Ball, I feel, is a series best left to hand-drawn animation. It would take the charm out of the series if it weren't flat. I'd rather not see it done with CGI because I don't feel it's the kind of series that would benefit from it, and it would eschew the series' unique art style.

Edit: It seems I missed this post...

Yeah, the last dragon ball live action movie wasn't that great either. It was very under funded, and has bad actors in it. If dragon ball wishes to entice a large audience it has to have the proper funding and effects. Without these realistic 3D effects I feel as though this is doomed just to be another generic unrealistic movie. I pray if they ever make a remake of the cell games in live action that they get a big whig director like steven spielberg or james cameron, and they get a big studio like universal or MGM or just anything better than what they had last time, and at least 250 million dollars worth of funds. I know if they do this a dragon ball would be awesome. I don't think this will be happening anytime soon.

You don't need a big name director and a massive budget to make a good film. I'd honestly just hire someone who has a lot of experience in directing films with a lot of martial arts in them. Stephen Spielberg and James Cameron wouldn't be the sort of people for the job.

Also, do you have any idea how much $250 million is, even when involving movies? I'd give a Dragon Ball film maybe... $80~90 mil to make a good film. $110 tops. For instance, Transformers, which required a truckload of CGI to make a truck turn into a robot, had a budget of $150 million. Avatar, which was done almost entirely in super realistic CGI cost $237 million to make. Dragon Ball wouldn't require nearly as much expense as either of these films, since large portions of it wouldn't need any CGI if done properly.
