as if the concept of fighting masters beating each other to a pulp with fists and energy blasts while yelling their asses off until their hair turns gold at random points were any worse in the anime/manga realm, and now they want to take it down the path of hell that is live action adaption.

down there, depending on how they pull it off, it'll either be hit or miss...

Though I almost never watched DBZ and just saw it a few times at random, I perfectly agree with the article that making it a real movie has to be more then hilarious. I would be curious to see it one day if they do it, I think I'm going to laugh more then too much :)

if this movie actually suceeds, it will open the gates of hell. this movie has 666 written all over it.

with the help of satan mario, the world will be free to make a live action movie out of any anime/manga/videogame/whatever they wish, and thus the world is doomed to an endless production of awful live action pokemon movies that are just as repetitive as the anime they were built off of, which eventually cause the collapse of the pokemon franchise and then the death of lord pikachu. then other companies jump the bandwagon and make live action adaptions out of their own shit as well...

This'll probably top even Waterworld and Super Mario Bros. Movie in sheer God-Awfulness.  Not to mention that damn Street Fighter movie.

To FOX- If you don't want to end up filing for bankruptcy, STOP MAKING THIS MOVIE!!!

signed,
The guy whose trying to save your asses


It's probably too late by now, though

Hope Matt can find another network to air The Simpsons.

Well, of course. The first one is just them yelling at each other and only starting to power up.

Oh for God's sake, what kind of drugs are they on? This is just a total disrespect to all the great anime/manga artist in history!

^ Word. Also, there are people who say that the Super Mario Brothers movie (http://mariowiki.com/Super_Mario_Bros._Movie) is bad, but this is even worse. I may be wearing nostalgia glasses, or something, but despite not being a very accurate adaption of the Super Mario franchise, it still excelled at being a good movie. Dragon Ball Evolution, on the other hand, fails on both accounts.

Ha-ha-ha-haaa! The movie Nintendo likes to think doesn't exist...

But its a simple case of ignoring it, isn't it? Go in with pessimism. Or probably not at all. If its crap, then pat yourself on the back for saving some money. If not? Be surprised that such a thing is worth the time and effort of making it. A win-win back-up solution.

Not exactly. Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator of the Super Mario franchise, stated that he actually enjoyed the movie. The actors, on the other hand, hated working on it.

lol. Well, as a part of the Mario cannon, it sucks.

The only good bit is the De-evolution machine. An interesting way of doing something nasty in a kid-friendly way.

As a movie in its own right...I do like it. If only because its so ridiculous and cheesy!

You know, now that you mention it, it was that very movie that inspired the idea of Luigi and Daisy officially being a couple.

As for the cheesiness part, I agree. Especially during the one scene where Mario and Luigi were interrogating Koopa's minions, Iggy and Spike. Luigi said to one of them, "WHERE'S Daisy, butt-breath!?". That line was just so hilarious to me. It's so hilarious, that I'd rewatch the movie again JUST to see that part, but maybe that's just me.

The instant you have talking dinosaurs and take things 'seriously', your likely to get put with the Power Rangers. Which is where I put this film. At least Bob Hoskins was a convincing Mario in appearance. The videogame Mario's voice would probably get annoying after a while...

Yeah, probably. I guess that's why he's usually portrayed as a "silent protagonist", particularly in the RPG games. Also, now that you've brought Bob Hoskins up, this page (http://mariowiki.com/Bob_Hoskins) says it all. It perfectly sums up how much he hated working on the Super Mario Bros. movie.
