Yeah. Those suck ass... and while it might be true in a literal sense, I don't mean it that way.

But...

We REALLY shouldn't compare them to SERIOUS attempts at live action movies (like unfortunately, Dragonball). Yes, they could be just as bad as the serious attempts at live action. But there is one big difference.

The serious attempts are 'trying' to be good. Dragonball is an example where it will fail. But some guy out there thought it will be good and 'respected'.

AV porn only attempts to be porn. The people behind it don't care about quality. Just an excuse to have sex in costumes. It's like, as I've said, comparing a porno movie with an actor in a cheap batman suit to The Dark Knight. If you try and put the first in the same breath as the second, you're going to be losing a lot of credibility.

Even if it's going to be a cg-movie, how serious do you think this will be?

G-Force movie.

From what I know about that movie, it's being made by the people who did the TMNT CGI movie. While I haven't seen TMNT, I heard it was at the very least, decent. So I'd say it's a serious attempt. Would be a valid movie to compare to other 'serious' live action movie... if it wasn't animated in the first place. :p

[edit]It should also be noted that they are also working on an Astro Boy CGI movie. In both cases, both movies are planned for theatrical release. These are no straight to DVD attempts. And certainly, the people behind it aren't just doing it for a quick buck with a half-ass work in it. Whether they succeed or not we'll just have to find out after it is released.

This is what I mean by 'serious' attempts. Porn movies are not trying to be good. They just want to tap into someone's fetish to make a buck. You're not going to have a Heath Ledger (RIP) out there getting into character. Just going to have someone dress up on a costume and screw like rabbits.

...Street Fighter. How hard will this fail?
Failed pretty badly. Opened at number 8... hasn't been heard from since.

Dragonball Evolution... what we have here could be a case of 'failed' movie, successful financially. In other words, Fox Entertainment didn't even screen the movie for critics (which, almost always means the movie sucks ass. They just don't want critics harsh words to get out for the public), but...

The good news (if you think the movie is as bad as everyone here think it is. Chances are, it's worse. :lol: ), it opened in number 2 (or 3) in Japan. However, 5 other Asian nations, it opened number 1.
