Why the Hate for this Movie?

[CaptainClown]

let's put it this way...if you have absolutely nothing to watch, no games to play, and no work to do then watch the 2nd half. imo, it's not even worth watching it from the beginning. it was a pretty subpar movie.

I will save you time and sum it up.

The basic plot of Hellboy with Stiffler and Chow Yung Fat

Nazi guy wants to learn the technique to immortality and Chow Yung Fat has the scroll that has he needs. They fight some stuff happens blah blah warp to the present and Stiffler is a common thief who mastered martial arts by watching kung fu movies, he steals the scroll from chow, Chow says hey I can train you, Nazi guy shows up they fight the end.

Sounds fun.

But Dragonball will make more than BPM.

 

[CaptainClown]

so 40 mil?

 

[Water Wagon]

No, Catwoman made over $40 million. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3 made over $40 mil.

Dragonball will not be on the same level as Catwoman or TMNT 3

 

[CrashNburn]

dont you talk about TMNT.

choose your next words wisely...Spartan. lol

i expect DB to do better than Catwoman

 

[Water Wagon]

lol Dragonball will DEFINITLY be more successful than Catwoman.

$80 mil minimum

 

[Star]

I strongly believe it's total grossing will be fifty bucks and a get out of jail free card....

Hahah. Kidding guys.

I'll have what your smoking because no one in the right mind would even use the word "Catwoman" when predicting, comparing or reviewing movies.

 

[CaptainClown]

I could actually see producers looking at the one fifty dollar bill and get out of free card just dumbfounded.

 

[Star]

I could actually see producers looking at the one fifty dollar bill and get out of free card just in dumbfounded.

HAHAH. Man, that would be a hilarious spoof.

"But... HOW? Seriously... HOW?!"

"Where did this card even COME from?!"

 

[CaptainClown]

ya I want to see the producers try and figure out where the get out of jail free card came from.

 

[scatterax]

so, would you guys say that this threads original question has been answered yet?

 

[CaptainClown]

I said why I hate this movie but there are still loyalist.....I will break them all...

 

[scatterax]

even w/ all the stuff wrong w/ this movie I'm still on the fence. I guess I just wanna like it cause it's db

 

[CaptainClown]

I stand by my stance that DB shouldn't be made a movie. It really has no need to be made a movie, it was great on its own.


P.S.
Well it was subpar the version I saw. (dragon ball, z, gt) I have yet to see the rest of the series but it really did bore me after a while.

 

[scatterax]

wait, so did you like the series or not?

 

[JP]

Yes, DBZ doesn't need a movie because it's great on its own. Same goes for Batman, Superman, Hellboy, X-Men, Spider-Man, Watchmen, V For Vendetta, 300, and Iron Man.

 

[CaptainClown]

nope. When I was a kid I liked it, but then I grew up saw it again and was annoyed by it. I hated how it was the same thing over and over again.

 

[scatterax]

a see what ur doin.

 

[Star]

Hey now. You forgot Electra, Daredevil, Catwoman, X3, Spiderman 3... etc

I think it definitely DESERVES a movie. I'm just anxiously waiting as to whether it gets to be in the good category (your list) or the bad category (my list)

Well like I was saying DBZ isn't something that I see that can replicate easily onto film, so better just leave it be. Now with advances in film, like 300 and sin city, it could possibly work but like I said a sub par series would just not work.

It is like Cowboy Bebop and how they want to make it live action. I say just leave it be, its amazing how it is.

thats why i don't read all the comics because that is essentially what it is.

Same with X-men people were saying it couldnt be done right, then when cast were announced and set pictures were released people complained no end.

Turned out fine though.
