WOO! Go BlazBlue!....I wanna play it too... D:

Haha, Len speed dating. That would be pretty amusing.

That sounds awesome. If Laura Bailey was there I'd die.

BlazBlue seems like it will be a fighter that will be in my PS3 a lot once it's released.

Also, would being drunk make the Dragonball movie any more enjoyable?

I have an arcade with BlazBlue HAHAHAHAH Suckers! Its pretty much the best fighting game ever.

So you'll be filming Len's speed-dating yes?

Please play BlazBlue and TAKE PHOTOS. Want that game T___T

@Seigfreid: I was going to import it originally, but then it was announced for a US release, so I decided to wait.

A bit on Dragonball Evolution.

If you take it in the HURDURDRAGONBALL aspect, it's garbage, but if you tear your focus away from that big hulking fanboy/girl that you know lurks in the corners of your head, secretly influencing everything you do, you'll see a different picture.

Don't get me wrong, the film is hardly a masterpiece, there are a number of plot holes large enough to put the entire planet Vegeta in, and the progression of the story is still a bit questionable, but it's a noble effort to condense a story so long and vast into a time frame so small and structured.

In terms of raw storytelling, it's limited by the fact that it is in fact a movie, meaning it has to have a self-sufficient start, middle, climax, and conclusion solid enough to stand on it's own. And while those are present in the bare minimum, it's a sort of "take it as it is" story that doesn't exactly leave much in the way of development.

In a nutshell.

Goku is a youth who's grandpa gets killed by a green dude who is collecting the dragonballs, Goku and friends also collect the dragonballs so the green bean can't collect them, until the green man does evil stuff (lolplottwist) in order to get the dragonballs, showdown, Goku wins, end movie.

Throw in some very, very light character development, force some romances, kill off a person or two, and you have a typical B-grade action movie.

On it's own two feet, without having to rely on the Dragonball title, the movie stands, but it's probably because it is tied to Dragonball that causes it to fall head-over-ass on it's face.

If they had renamed everything and called it an original property, it probably would have had a much better reception.

Yeah BlazBlue is awesome, have an arcade cabinet near me. Vic signing that picture better happen, I would find it pretty funny :)

@Kageryu: Agreed. You are one of the few people that shares my opinion of the movie. Most people write it off saying "That's not Dragonball Z!"

Which is true, because it's NOT Dragonball Z. It's DRAGONBALL.

Anyway, what is (The Green Ranger) doing there? Does he do voice acting and not telling moi?

(is actually John)
You know, even after reading our live blog, understand that we generally had "some" nice things to say about the movie, namely that it is exactly as you say.

A tolerably bad, but mildly entertaining movie that is ultimately judged harshly and viewed at all because of its brand name.

Sucks that Jason David Frank canceled his panel Saturday. I was disappointed.

JustinTV will orobably have it on one of their channels if not already so you don't have to go to the theater to see it.
