juggernaught: your completely out of line !

FINAL FANTASY: square did participate in this one, but they never had the chance of touching the script, all they were there for, was helping in making the grpahics of the movie, which those graphics were good ! but since the scenario was very very very stupid in itself... sorry but that movie was based of a very very promising game that was suppose to be very very very good, but all they sucessfully did, was throwing the game off balance with a very very very weak movie !

Dragonball the movie... yeah, but it was a FAN BASED movie...
the movie was very greatky done in itself... but since the character never had the creator as an helper on things, he just never got up to the challenge !

as of now... the REAL DBZ movie that is coming, is in developpment, but AKIRA TORIYAMA signed with 20th century fox who now have the rights to DBZ... what they are doing, is talking with AKIRA for the scenario and the movie itself !

so the movie will really be great if it continues that way !
why do i think so ?
because, has of now, every movie that was asking the creators to actually do the scenario and characters, have all been great sucess !

SPIDERMAN comes into mind... was done by the original author !
X-MEN (marvel did made some changes, cause the characters were like completely different, now they were half-way there)
TOMB RAIDER also is in that category... EIDOS comepletly had to do with the movie ! so the game was really found in the movie !

hope to see the second one that is coming...
TOMB RAIDER : THE CRADLE OF LIFE
angelina wasn't suppose to do it, but at the final moment, she decided to do it !

so basically, if the creators have to do with the movie, then and only then will it be exactly like it was suppose to be ! as for little story leaks, or characters leak... well, there are gonna have alot and will always be existing in every movies... so its not all about STORY and graphics, its all about the characters. the story is also important, but as long as the characters are fine and un touched, the story can be anything, as long as it is good !
