Optimus Prime was changed pretty big time, but he always is whenever they do something (remember in 1995 when he was a sports car? or how his robot in the 2007 movie looked like a trainwreck and nothing really like optimus prime?) ya just deal with it because it ain't important.

Also I never excused Godzilla, it is a piece of shit (like Transformers and like dbz will be(and in the cartoon and comic's case... already is)) I was saying that fans overreacted because it simply wasn't their godzilla. It's generally how movies work. King Kong was King Kong... he's a giant ape and the movie is about a giant ape, if they turned it into an alien it'd just be a remake of some 50s B-movie. Dragonball is about grown men making constipated grunts and tearing off each other's clothes. Designs change, it's not meant to be the source material, it's meant to be it's own thing. If it was just exactly following the original there'd be no point to it (admitedly the only point is to make money but they wouln't make as much if they only appealed to a minority).

dude the transformers fans threw a major spaz when the designs were changed and they didn't look retro. Batman fans initially spat out their gamerfuel bars when they saw Heath Ledger's joker look nothing like a clown, G.I. Joe fans cried little sick tears into their kfc buckets when stormshadow was revealed wearing modern attire instead of a gi outfit. american godzilla fans nearly commited suicide when godzilla was released in 97.
These kind of superficial changes happen all the time because some ideas don't always work. Regardless of speical effects when someone turns into a monkey... they turn into a monkey. That isn't what the average moviegoer wants unless it's a comedy film(and any comedy film with that premise is a shit comedy film, but will end up selling millions because people are dumb and think anything with monkeys in is hilarious). They want sleak and sexy, they want modern.

Is it just me or do hardcore fans really have no imaginations at all

like oh god batman's costume is a little off dude batman can be anything as long as he's the idea - that spatula could be Batman as long as the point gets across open your mind dude

when I grow up I'm going to do some postmodern art superhero movie where superman's a kitten and batman's a tennis racket and spiderman is a superman cutout and they all live together in a college dorm and surf the internet all day and that's the whole movie

Batman is not batman without bat-nipples!

How do you even know if thats Goku? I don't think the article was being serious when it said it was Goku's "monster" form. I mean, it's just a still that popped up.

Looks like the Zora's escaped from Hyrule into the world of Dragon ball

well maybe they maek a DBZ movie where goku grunts so hard and so long that poeple from vidiogames teleport into dbz land and then they have to build a time machine to go back in time to fight mechanic dinosaurs and to stop ganon from enslaving the world.

also someone said that mario bros movie sucked. it was a really good movie dude, what are you talking about. it had great humor and spectacular action scenes and a brilliant cast. i really loved all the fungus stuff they put in to replace magic shrooms, like there is that one scene where the drive a car or something down a tunnel and then they fall but the fungus saves them maybe im talking complete bullshit but i recall this scene from the movie and that mario is the BEST PLUMBR IN BROKCLYN and luigi was going the wrong way in the sewers but mario had his specialised plumber years and decades of experience and he knew where to go.

you are both pretty stupid.

a) for arguing over dragon ball
b) for arguing over dragon ball

yeah guys lord knows you shouldn't waste your time on stuff no one cares abou

huh well at least esh isn't falling into marketing scams that couldn't care less about him and ar http://www.gamingw.net/forums/index.php?topic=76318.msg1435441#msg1435441

i googled "godseed fragments" which led me to the SA topic (shockhorror) and this is pretty awesome. 9 pages of epic findings. there are some people thinking tog is behind it.

well okay so he read through nine pages of a topic about an ARG that doesn't involve him and could be about anything and really has no bearing on him, at least he doesn't make large film media posts about purely speculative topi

Basically, to explain a little. I'm not into Revolutionary Road, I don't think it's got what it takes to win Best Picture/Director, it just doesn't seem strong enough. Same with DiCaprio with Best Actor, there are far more stronger performances around. I'm getting the feeling soon The Wrestler will start to rise up for the big stakes, the trailer is now out and it does look fantastic. It's uncontroversial, very American and is getting some pretty sweet response already. Waltz with Bashir is in three different categories because it could go generally anywhere. People (like Mark Kermode) are insisting that it goes in the Best Picture category, breaking down this whole animation/film situation. It could easily go in foreign film too. I get the feeling Milk and Benjamin Button will find their way to the Best Picture category, though The Reader looks really great.

Best Actor, Mickey Rourke should win this, but both Benecio Del Toro and Sean Penn are giving amazing performances. DiCaprio is there because it will probably be there, and Brad Pitt might just turn up for his aging role. Supporting Actor is really really unlucky for Philip Seymour Hoffman who looks amazing in Doubt, but Heath Ledger is standing tall on that category. Brolin well deserves a spot too. Clooney was a bit of a joke addition, but it wouldn't surprise me if he did turn up.

Best Actress probably goes to Kate Winslet. Supporting Actress, the lamest category of them all, I just gave up on the final two and stole some from Strangeluv's list but I chose Kathy Bates, without any form of visual proof of her performance, just because she probably deserves another Oscar right about now.

Best Animation probably Wall-E, I doubt that even if Waltz with Bashir was in the category that it could beat the power of Wall-E. And finally, Foreign Film would hopefully go to Italy's Gomorrah, just because it's plain awesome.

I know you're probably going to reject most of this, with your crazy formulas for the Oscars and all that, but yeah. Just my thoughts. It's another pretty sweet year for films. Javier Bardem might creep in somewhere.

you've been making a lot of WHO CARES ABOUT THINGS posts lately and you really should cut it the fuck out. surprise, many people on GW watched DBZ when they were kids and wants to talk about it. double surprise, movie looks awful and apparently isn't at all like the original and people need to elaborate on why this is or isn't a good thing. you aren't any better for writing out about a page of why the movie industry should clap itself on the back for some movies and not others. there's no inherent maturity in thinking I BET BENJAMIN BUTTON WINS (WHO CARES IF ITS NOT OUT YET). you can say the movie will be awful or that people shouldn't expect good things from it but WHO CARES when you're busy writing imaginary lists no one could care about isn't the best petard to hoist.

No matter if this movie sucks or not, it's gonna be a helluva lot of fun to watch.

Thought Goku was a nieve kid, but they make him out to be a badass in the movie.

picolo: "i will defeat you chosen one!!!!"

gokue" your flies unzipped"

bulma: imma pop a cap in your ass picollo"

you win this round songoku!

Goku "EYE OF THE TIGEER! dum, dum-dum-dum, dum-dum-dum'

Man I couldn't surpress a smile when Goku started shouting KAAAAA MEEEEEE at the end. I don't know if it was because it was so cheesy, because it was a PART OF MY YOUTH, or because the whole trailer looked ridiculously terrible, but it brought a smile to my face! And that's the most important thing....

ami the only one that has never liked the dragon ball series?

That trailer was absolutely horrible.

This, and the overuse of CGI, shitty sound effects and wire work. I'm not really a fan of any anime but when I heard this movie was coming out I decided to look up some info so I would know what the fuck this is supposed to be and from my little understanding.. Didn't some guy like Piccolo make the Dragonballs not monks at a temple? And did he always have an airship, I thought Goku could fly and stuff?

At least it has some a couple of good looking woman in it.
