I am done with this movie!

If I am not mistaken, it's some kind of Plasma Energy gun or something, not just a ordinary pistol.

Also it turns out a chunk of those numbers were minors buying tickets to see Rambo IV.

That's seriously hilarious. And those bastards thought they had a good movie.

Meet the Spartans is terrible. I refuse to believe that DB:E will be anywhere near as bad.

And I am sick of hearing people say "OMG DB:E is the WORST movie I have ever seen!"

Wow, you must really not be exposed to many movies. Cause just from the clips that I have seen I can tell it's not nearly even close to the worst movie.

I liked Spiderman3, even though It was the weakest of the three films, and the CGI (excluding the Sandman) was not really all that great, but does that mean it was the Worst movie ever, hell no, yet I heard plenty of people say that, and when I asked them why there explanation was something to this extent:

"Well, it wasn't as good as the first two"
"Venom was only in 10 minutes"
"Peter was EMO! And he thought he was the MASK!"

That's seriously it. THAT is apparently why Spiderman 3 is the worst movie ever.

Nah, Spider-Man 3 wasn't the worst movie ever. Neither was X-Men 3. Both were just terrible disappointments after highly regarded prior installments. They both tried to cram too much in.

DBE isn't the worst movie ever either. To be the worst movie ever, you'd truly have to do something above and beyond. DBE is just, as I stated before, generic. Nothing about it stands out or is memorable. It really seems to take from everything else and brings nothing all its own to the table.

Spider-Man 3 is at least the worst movie ever due to a complete lack of pacing, reasoning, and things happen "just because". The "emo" bits were actually the GOOD parts of the movie, because the effect on Peter is actually fairly similar to what it's supposed to be, and it was one of the few times you actually saw that Peter actually is a GEEK(beyond the first, what, ten minutes of the first movie?).

It's a horrible film. While maybe not the worst of all time, it's pretty low. I can't imagine Evolution being worse than Spider-Man 3.

Heck, even up into the Red Ribbon Army arc, White's Powered Gun was able to seriously hurt Goku, and that was just a bullet-based gun. And Blue's rifle was said to be able to kill Goku when fired at point-blank range.

Also, people really shouldn't be using the term "worst movie ever" without taking The Beast of Yucca Flats flats into account.

Wait, was the problem being that a gun hurt Goku? I thought people were complaining about a kamehameha reviving him.

Goku isn't Superman guys. Bullets don't just bounce off him...unless they hit his head, of course. Besides, the movieverse characters are obviously toned down in strength.

Actually, dont bullets bounce off of him in the first chapter/episode

Indeed they do. Bulma shoots him.

Normal bullets do.

In any case, it's a bit anti-climatic. Makes you wonder why Piccolo is all "eat ki blasts, bitch" when he could just bust a cap in Goku's ass.

Like I said, his head is the exception.

But as Herms mentions that later they do affect him, the complaint from everyone was that it was not like the manga, now everyone is complaining because they done something in spirit that was actually in the manga. Can someone please tell what everyone wants?

Bussani · Post by **Bussani** » Mon Mar 16, 2009 7:15 pm

Maybe Goku should be able to breath in space and use Nyoi'bo to get to the moon too, because that happened in the manga.

Edit: In fact, why doesn't Roshi just blow up the moon? Then there would be no eclipse to worry about.

While I'm not taking either side here (the scene in general was just ridiculous), playing Devil's Advocate, Herms was mentioning things from the Red Ribbon Army arc, whereas this is...you know, the Piccolo arc. Supposedly.

Technically it's also the Pilaf arc at the same time.

Yeah, but Goku 'kills' Piccolo about 10 minutes later, so it's the Piccolo arc moreso to me ;p

Hmm, since they have done away with the other arcs, is it strange that he is not on Silver Age Superman level yet? They have to build up to it if sequels are to come about. The first complaint was that Fox were trying to put “Chatku” on Z-level status now the complaint is that he is not or at least semi Z-level.

It would amuse me greatly if, at the end of the movie, Goku was defeated and Bulma suddenly pulled out a gun and shoot Piccolo dead. Now that would be a great ending.

That definitely got a hardy har from me.

But wouldn't bullets be more dangerous than Ki? This is a topic that deserves it's own topic.
