Was it so ridiculous that it was awesome? Or did you just find it flat-out stupid? Do you think it cheapened the first half of the movie? If you didn't like it, how would you have written a conclusion to the movie?
Personally, I think I fall on the side of "it's so ridiculous that it's awesome." To me, it's kind of an iconic moment in the franchise and I think this kind of "money shot" was necessary for the film- every DB movie needs that one memorable moment that fans can remember it by, as well as use it in all the marketing.
Yeah, I just brought this up because I just read that TFS were almost half-way through working on their version of the film.
