Actually comparing it to the MK movies is a good way to go about it. I remember when me and my friends decided to watch the first MK in our hotel room while we were at AX two years ago. It was pretty bad in terms of special effects and acting when you take something like that which was made back in the 1990s, but it was still fun to watch because it was bad. We actually talked about how we wished there were movies that could be made like that today, to bring back the nostalgic feel that it gives. Second movie wasn't worth crap.

I'm actually interested. Fox has claimed that this movie is going to be one of their top grossing movies for 09, along with Wolverine. So, if they have faith in their own movie like that, I'm assuming that they want to treat it like a blockbuster. Fox has been known for having big blockbusters, though, even if this year was one of their worst years in their history.
The fact is that a movie like this can only be judged once all the CGI is in place. Until then, reserve your judgments. Even the promo we saw before was before most of the CGI was in place. And besides, if the supposed "pre-release" reviews like on Ain't it Cool News are right, this movie isn't nearly the nightmare a lot of people make it out to be. If anything, it sounds like the movie supplies the pure essence of Dragonball: epic battles! As long as they deliver on that, I'm happy!
Plus, James Marsters is a big DBZ fan, from what I hear.

i'm an over-zealous fan of DBZ, i've been waiting for this movie for 5 years. i'm excited to see this live rendition.
i am going in perfectly aware that yes it's not going to be an exact replica of the series, 1. for time constraints, and 2. it's live action. knowing that, i'm prepared to see what surprises are in store for this American rendition of "the most popular anime series of all time" (i put in quotes because i know some will fight me to the death to defend their own choice).
bring it on!!

Da Games: Considering FOX's line-up I think Wolverine's their only film which will make money. And that's if they don't eff it up, and turn it into Punisher 2. [Sorry, haters, but I thought Thomas Jane owned that role.]
Rider: The only surprise I imagine you'll get from DB is how it sucks more than even you expected. I know that feeling, having seen the Van Damme SF.

Rider: Sorry, dude. Didn't mean to ruin your day. Here's hoping it's at least as passable as the non-Corman Fantastic Four movies.

I'm curious if any of you saw this:
Apparently instead of going super saiyan and turnin' his hair all crazy spiked blond, he transforms into a giant herpes-infected dick.
This movies sound all kinds of super.

Yes, I believe that was in the other thread in the anime forum. I am rather curious as to what that is actually.

Instead of releasing it early, I wish they'd delay this garbage. That is, delay it for eternity. ...as in, it will never come out.
Failing that, i'm still praying to god that this crap is still just a big, theatrical rickroll.

I plan on watching it when it comes out and if you're scared that it won't be good then don't watch it,if its a bad movie then it'll be a bad movie but i'll pass judgment after I see it..you guys saying its going to be an "automatic fail" aren't helping the anime community make strides or progress in any field than what they're already good at.

Saiyans do have another transformation, y'know, not just SSJs.
But growing into the giant monkey (not ape) has to be scary.
