Actually the case for both of them was bad writing IN ADDITION TO bad acting.

Just saw this really cool looking 3D DBE: Z Edition DVD promo at the bottom of a Sherdog forum thread, and thought I'd post it here:

Interesting crowd they're looking to.

...Are you seriously saying the writing in Episodes I, II and III wasn't horrible?

No, I'm saying Chatwin did pretty well with what he was given. Christensen... did not.

The conversation was about the WRITING! Not the special effects! Of course the prequels triumph, its been 30+ years!

Relax, buddy. I still think the writing is still that good in Prequels than Classic. But that's just my opinion. I mean, "My only conclusion can be that it was a Sith Lord."

How cool is that revelation?!

I like that at this link:
http://www.buy.com/prod/dragonball-evol ... 63299.html
It suggests "you may also like" Street Fighter: Chun-Li and Mortal Kombat 2 films lol

I cant really find any information on this Z Edition, supposedly coming out in the next few days o_0

I also like how it has the Legend of Chun-Li listed as an "essential."

I was sent this press release. If anyone here is attending comic-con, follow these people on twitter and you may win the Dragonball: Evolution DVD, and some other stuff.

Hi Guys,

All you have to do is follow http://twitter.com/Dragonball2009 over the next couple of days to win. The details are below, along with the press release.

The Dragonball Evolution Sweepstakes:

The epicenter of the program revolves around a scavenger hunt that Giant Release created for the release of FOX Home Entertainment's Dragonball Evolution DVD.

False, the Phantom Menace was the worst, but AotC wasn't too far off.

I don't see how someone who hates the dub for having bad dialogue could like a movie that has lines like "I hate... sand... it is so rough... unlike your skin which is so smooth..."

That's better than Jake Lloyd's eloquent "Now THIS is podracing!"

Japanese Dragonball isn't exactly Shakespeare either my friend. I think everything that comes out of Jar Jar Bink's mouth is more comparable to dub dialogue and I don't like him at all (who does?)

How could you like Episode I more than II? Young Anakin was unbearable...

I couldn't stand any of the prequels however, and it isn't a nostalgia thing as I haven't really watched the Star Wars films until several years ago.

Now, about that DBE DVD...

Hey you guys why don't you just join a star wars forum?

What's that big dragonball evolution thing anyways?

Phantom Menace has Liam Neeson in one of the only well acted roles in the prequels, and an amazingly choreographed lightsaber fight at the end, way better then any of the other prequel lightsaber battles. It also had Darth Maul, the coolest villain in the prequel trilogy. (No doubt in part because he never fucking talks.) Revenge of the Sith had a decent fight between Obi-Wan and Anakin at the end, Anakin getting all of his limbs sliced off, and that awesome scene at the end of Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader on the Imperial Ship looking out at the Death Star.

What did Episode II have that makes it stand out?

Also, overall all three prequels are shitty movies, but Episodes I and III atleast have a few scenes that are actually good. Episode II is pure shit throughout the entire movie.

EDIT: But back to Evolution. I enjoyed Evolution when I saw it in theaters, but I'm not sure it'd hold up on a second viewing. I'll probably rent it on Blu-Ray once EX has done his commentary and see if I still like the movie enough to purchase it.

Hmm... I think you may have just made a good point!
