If it's crap... We'll tell you

Watchmen vs. Dragonball Evolution

Okay, so I noticed a few similarities between these two movies:
1.) Both are adapted from a comic series.
2.) There are a few big and small changes in being adapted from the original work that may seem controversial.
3.) A lot of people think they'll suck.
4.) The original material is more plot oriented (were talking Dragon Ball, not Dragon Ball Z).
5.) Both have been in development hell.

Really this is just an excuse to get people talking about these two movies and what their gripes are about the various changes they've made from the original work.

Oh, and I know its really called "manga" so don't feel the need to point that out.

The changes made to dragon ball are a lot more drastic than the ones that watchmen has been put through; ▶ Reply to This

I got issues with Watchman to but I got a feeling that I'll still try and see it opening day, While I'll only thank whatever god exists for never haveing to see Dragon Ball Evolution.; ▶ Reply to This

Watchmen level is WAAAAAAAAAYYYY to high. If your going to compare Dragonball to a movie, compare it to Street Fighter new movie, Hellboy 2 or whatever, but Watchmen? No. If your going to compare Watchmen to a movie, compare it to TDK.

Oh, I'm not a hater for this Dragonball film, pretty much I'm the only guy thats a little hyped for this film. But don't compare something thats so Big to something thats not even getting any love.; ▶ Reply to This

Watchmen hasn't been altered too much, but I could give a huge list of all the things about Dragonball that bother me. I'm not too concerned about Watchmen though, I think it's gonna turn out to be great.
I am such a huge fan of Dragonball, and I'm hyped about the movie, but I can't help but feel a slight sense of dread.; ▶ Reply to This
