Well duh, because they at least managed to stuff alot of things from the comics while making it good for the masses. Thought why they didn't use the Black Cat as one of the villians....
After looking at the pics of the stars vast to the movie......

I don't know about him but I enjoyed it. Too many complainers around IMO. Adaptations by their nature are going to be different, and it's not that they go wrong by being different, it's that fandom goes wrong by expecting more similarity than is reasonable.

Quote: | 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. |
The irony is that with all the money and detail, the robots looked crappier than their outsourced 2-d counterparts.
Quote: | 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. |
Who the hell doesn't know about this series by now?

But the difference is, in spite of not being 100% faithful to the source material, LOTR was actually good.

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 |
A year and a half to film? First, I think you mean to finish, not to film. Lord of the rings is one of the biggest projects ever and it took what, 3 years to film three incredibly long movies with a cast and crew the size of a town. 9 months for everything should be fine.
And for the people bashing transformers, the makers might have trouble hearing you over the constant wave crashes of money. Good or not, it sold. You want to talk about bad adaptations, lets talk about Uwe Boll. Transformers isn't even in the same galaxy.

The difference is, the Elektra and Catwoman Movies (and to an extent, the second Lara Croft Movie) was the female leads as being one of the factors in why the films failed. Of course, the laundry list of charges is numerous. From poor scripts to just audiences not liking the characters. Dunno about Elektra in the Daredevil movie. But I think Catwoman in the second Batman film was accepted okay, as Pffier played her smoothly.
As it stands, none of the Spiderman villains have had any planned spin-off movies.

The reason for Sandman and the Green Goblin is because they wanted to use villains from the original comics. Ya know, the original ones that helped get everything going. Raimi didn't want to use newer villains and was even opposed to Venom at first. He relented on that I assume due to Venom's sheer popularity and to be fair. But the original goal was always to use original villains from the old comics. And I think comparing the success of the Spiderman movies to any aspect of Dragon Ball period, let alone the movie, is not fair. I mean how much history and time does Spiderman have under it's belt? Regardless of the quality of the movies it was of course going to do well.

Crappier by the armchair expert GATSU standard which I'm not exactly going to trust since you're a complete wipe.

Know about, sure, they know about it, but the finer details, or even the larger ones, do not properly convey in what would be a 'realistic' movie.

Nah, not enough finesse. GATSU at least manages to be coherent, unlike this loudmouth.
