[The Riddler]

We'll have to wait until April to actually conclude this.

true.

this film could just be a delicious smoked ham in turd dressing; i won't really know for sure until i have the taste of manure in my mouth.

Dragonball's way more popular than speed racer. It should have no problem beating its dismal performance. If there's a precedent, it's Mortal Kombat. That did fine. i think this will too although the internets wasn't around much for Mortal Kombat, so who knows...

It may be #1 the weekend it comes out, and then the following week it drops to like 3 or 4.

[CrashNburn]

[Water Wagon]

I'm wondering something... how many here have actually done martial arts or something similar, some kind of rigorous sport? I can't understand how you can have such little faith in a movie that's built for that primal side of us humans (if it's done right.) The geek sites condemn this movie I think because they're run by big tubby guys who hated jocks and still hate anything to do with muscles they don't have.

I on the other hand, am no jock, but love feeling like one. That's how you impress the ladies anyway... *nudges glasses*

So I think people are seriously under-estimating this movie's appeal to young boys and men who have muscles like mine. Yes, I think that's the reason why this will do better than expected. Finally a movie for us warriors.

 

[CrashNburn]

i'm glad to know you're confident it will as i think it should do better

i've done martial arts. i'm not a hugely muscular guy but i'm in decent shape. i dont think that effects whether i'll see the movie or not. i just enjoy db and have been waiting for the movie for a long time. i do coinsidentally own a ton of martial arts and war-type flicks, so maybe you're actually on to something. lol

Same here, though I have no formal training, I'm pretty darn hot thanks to being influenced to exercise intensively by dragonball all those years ago. Sure it hurt, but the results speak for themselves.

I think that's a good thing for the next generation have too. And it's that generation that's going to make this a ridiculous smash I'm betting.

 

[daywalker2007]

is dragonball coming out before or after street fighter?

 

[Water Wagon]

After

he-ey i used to work out too...but i only have time to go to gym like 5 months/year(with large pauses between though)..but hell yeah db really helped a lot-u know when you're just about to push that weight for the 12th time and you're kinda out of energy-u somehow manage to bring yourself together and pull that off...awesome feeling,dudes...

yeah,but right now,j c is not that bulked up...right? maybe in a couple of years though...

 

[The Kid]

Let's hope so. He needs to stack on the muscle if he wants to continue playing Goku in any sequels. I need to start working out more myself now that we're on the subject. *grabs folds of fat around mid section* It's like jello.

 

[The Kid]

Double mint post

 

[Hush]

I think the movie will do well but i do not think that it will be a behemoth. DBZ fans may turn out in droves who knows but it wont be a huge smash.0

 

[DBZ2cool]
