Exactly. The movie is about TRANSFORMERS, not about some whiney no-talent kid that buys a beat-up Camaro to get some ass. And gets thrust into the middle of a Bot war. At best, the kid should've been a bit role, not the main star. And the human cast limited to a select few. Not 40+ representing every single racial demographic in the US. |

Wait, you want the Transformers movie to have been done the same way for the same money as Matrix: Revolutions...which gave humans even more screen time and the robots less screen time than Transformers did? Something's wrong with the logic here. |

I agree. What's the point of hiring Shia LeBeof (I'm not sure if that's spelled correctly) if he is going to have a minor role in acting compared to the Transformers? |

Um, sorry, but the Transformers didn't do a damn thing, while the mecha in Matrix 3 were actually put to use. There were more humans in the latter film, but they didn't take up as much screen time. ichiro:
It's not a Shia LeBeouf movie, it's a Transformers movie. That's the point. |

You guys whine too much. Can't please everyone, that is the moral of today's story. Some like and some hate. *shrugs.* Yes, I can say the whole T&A thing was annoying at one point, but it was only in the beginning of the movie. And it wasn't all that bad. I thought that was an amusing way to bring out Bumblebee, though. Please do NOT bash me, okay? >.>;;; It is somewhat surrounded by the main character's point of view in the beginning...Perhaps in the sequel it will concentrate more on the origins of the Autobots and Decepticons (Sp?). But there are so many alternative comics and such to this movie... >.>; I just found out the co-star went to my friend's old high school. o_o she's got the money now, Good for her. |

The Transformers "didn't do a damn thing" in the movie? Now I know you didn't see the movie, but you should make it less obvious. 
You're still claiming that humans took less screen time in Matrix: Revolutions than in Transformers? As before, you have an opinion all your own.

Instead of a live-action movie, how about some new Dragon Ball animation! One Piece has recently started re-telling some of its manga arcs into movies. It would be cool to see a 4 part Dragon Ball Movie series (which would include the Vegeta, Freeza, Cell, and Boo sagas), somewhere along the lines of the new EVA movies. It's been a very long time (over ten years!) since we've had any new Dragon Ball animation, and Dragon Ball would look very impressive with today's animation technology.

El Wrongo!! Either it's gonna take long to do the cels, or we'll have such abortions like Voltron: The Third Dimension.
Who says he could act in the first place? His acting ability is about the equivalent of Bear Grylls actually surviving in the wild. |

Lebouf was fine, honestly.
I initially had a few complaints about the Transformers movie, but then apon rewatching and thinking about it, there were very few ways it could have gone. I mean, sure, there are far too many human characters, but at the same time, the ammount of detail gone in to the robots (and being superimposed on what was basically real cars and real scenery being thrashed around and blown up) was also pretty damned expensive, and there was always the possibility that despite it being a Transformers movie, it might have failed considerably. It was a risk. Besides which, it's not a nerd film. Sure, it may have scifi cues, robots, nerd stuff, but it is not a film for the ANN/seibertron/Japanophile crowd who HAVEW to have Megatron as a gun (then again this is not a complaint that was raised here). It's just in order to pull off something as big as Transformers, you need to have as much revenue as possible, even if it means catering to an audience which is much bigger, but less knowledgable about the property. Point is, people will complain anyway. |

I liked transformers. In my opinion people are far too picky. Of course I have to remember the endless whining about the LOTR movies and pretty much everything else adapted. On top of this we get phrases like "adaptation decay," which presume guilt before production even starts.

Ouch. Wouldn't that be rather unrealistic? >.>;;; .....ah, nevermind... Seeing that this is a DBZ thread, I don't want it to turn into a Transformers chat. -.-; isn't there another way of making a discussion thread for this? Or we can just move on... |

It's not entirely unfair to not discuss Transformers in relation to Dragonball. They both were Japanese originated, both came out roughly the same time, for the same demographic, and are both being or have been done as studio backed, big budget blockbuster films.
I mean, assuming they want Dragonball to be a success, it's basically the only real comparison it can have. |

Plus Spiderman and X-Men....fandoms a fandom no matter what the racial demographic. |

Well, Spiderman definitely didn't fail in the Box Office, that's for sure.
Let me put a quote that a friend said in another forum.
I indefinitely agree, basically. |

I'd really want to see one or more of the actors who's going to star in the film to do a video journal or something to get the size of their character
I'm also concerned about the release date "August 2008". thats around 9 months time you would think a project as big as DBZ it would take at least 1 and a half to film, i doubt it making an August 08 release is a wise choice
