    I don't blame Justin, he did a good job playing a 2 dimensional character with little personality other than " gee, golly! if you hurt my friends I'll hurt you back!".

    I hope they do a sequel, but this time in the Z universe.

    I bought this and was extremely disappointed that there was no James Marsters commentary track.

    They ALMOST make up for it with this though:

    I'm actually kind of looking forward to this. I loved Blood: The Last Vampire and Blood+ (seriously guys, they take place in different AUs, this movie remakes Blood: The Last Vampire. NOT Blood+, the series you all probably saw on Cartoon Network.


    Anyway, the movie allows itself to be adapted to live action pretty well, and I remember hearing in the promos that the producer was also responsible for Crouching Tiger: Hidden Dragon and Hero. Expect to see really cool wire-fu, if you're into that kind of thing. And I am. :)

    Blood+ was a good series, I'll admit, but not something I'd want live action-ed. Now, how about some Fate Stay/Night?

    @mjc455: this is a warning. No need to be sassy for sassy sakes. It was news to me and a lot of other people I know. Now if it was a couple years old, then you can get all cranky, but right now, consider yourself warned.

    In reply to Dragonball: The Quest For The Silly Grail
    But the movie made no sense!!!! It's not even coherent in its own world!!!


    For starters (there are SPOILERS HERE so be warned)


    Picollo and Oozaro attacked the world 2000 years ago and they were both impriosioned, goku is oozaro; SOOO goku is 2000 years old? (no explanation for this was given in the movie)


    Master Roshi has a master, that is alive, and the masters name is SIFU NORRIS?! Really? (and no its not chuck norris)


    Going through the desert they fall in a hole-cavern, they make a hole in the cavern and where do they end up in? the goddamn center of the earth complete with LAVA.


    Bulma and Chi Chi were never introduced to each other but somehow magically they know each other later in the movie.


    And much much more.


    I had a good time at the movie but that was mainly because I went with friends and spent the whole movie making fun of it. It's enjoyable in that sense, its like watching a movie made of fail, and laughing at it. Actually in that sense then yeah sure you can have a good time, but it's not by any means a good movie or even a bad movie, its worse. It's a trainwreck, really but in you could enjoy ity

    Well thank God there's female empowerment!

    /s

    Come on Charlie Jane. SHow me the last action movie with a female character that put that character down to make the male character look better.

    Female empowerment has been hugely popular in films and television for the past 20 years. Stop bitching about something that is no longer relevant.
