Hate to break the news to you Yohon, but the Buffy movie came out years and years ago. That's all your gonna get. If you want more of the universe read the comics that's all there will be. Personally I loved Buffy and I loved the Angel show even more, but I can't stand either comic. Buffy being a lesbian was retarded and both the Angel and Buffy comics went way over the top even for Joss.

James Marsters is the best to play Piccolo. He was willing to get fired to get the look of the character right and they cut the scenes out.Im sure that pisses James off. I want him to write Dragonball Reborn

I never got to ask him questions at the convention he was at. Not at $40 an autograph. I do say maybe his kid should have wrote it. I think his kid knows more about and actually watches the series and he still tries to fake that he does. I like him, but the movie bombed. They should watch a couple movies called The Legend Of Zu and Shinobi for some better ideas. Geeezzz.... Even D.O.A. was better. And had alot of hotties.

Buffy was good once they realized every episode didnt have to be aimed squarely at 14 year old girls. Angel was great when it got going, shame it was cancelled. I like Marsters. DBE was one of the worst movies i have ever seen.

Whats all this about a Buffy movie??

Didn't see DBE and I have no interest in seeing it. I loved the DBZ cartoon. Buffy was a good series and I liked the Angel spin off even more. Spike was one of the best characters to come out of Buffy and James played that role extremely well. I really wished they would have had at least one more season for Angel though. I have read the comic of Angel and I like it more than Buffy. That is really not saying much though.

@Rorschach01 there has been talks for a couple years of making a buffy movie that follows after the series final but Joss said if he does it will contradict the comics that he made himself just so he doesn't have to explain it to the non comic readers, I say bah on that and just keep the comics going.

@stupify_me

Well I hated that movie. Also yeah I loved both Angel and Buffy, the comics that follow the shows aren't great, but there not horrible. I mostly like them just because I miss the shows and want more. Why aren't they going to make a movie, I heard everyone was behind it and wanted to do it. I mean if they can make a firefly movie I don't know what would stop them from doing a Buffy, it could be made for TV like the Farscape and Stargate movies.

I personally enjoyed ANGEL more than BUFFY but if they did a movie, they would both probably be in it anyway!!! Plus characters from both series, its a pity nothings being done for this to happen! I can see a DBE 2 before any of this! ; (

Obviously not you @ Dark Avengers!!! ; D

Since I got laid off I have rediscovered Angel. I watch it in the morning before I job hunt. Damn good show. I didn't even know Marsters wasn't English until I looked it up online. Great actor. DBE had HORRIBLE written all over it during it's previews and I will catch it on TBS. The action figures for the film are already on clearance at Wal-Mart. I saw it yesterday.

Rorschach01 don't read to much in to the Buffy movie comics. There is not chance in it happening. Joss throws around little things like a Buffy movies, Angel TV specials and a Spike movie just to get fans excited he never follows through. There isn't even a rumor of any work being done. Joss isn't even currently thinking about writing a script and in a few more years it's gonna be way to late.

This seriously is quite sad, the movie got released, the movie was horrible, the movie bombed... there will be no sequel and they will probably take 5 years to sell the rights to another studio so there won't be a reboot for at least 5 years....why don't the people that defended DBE just let it go, it was a horrible movie, that I had already forgotten about and moved on, and now the cast is pointing fingers at Fox Execs/Cast/Director/Screenwritter, that would probably make me buy the BluRay if that was in the extras, since it'd be fun to watch Marster's vs Ramsey, Chatwin vs Wong. However since the movie is so bad, I just won't buy it.

Seriously SGA, RecoSwava let it go, no matter what the actors, cast, etc say, either they didn't stop to think about what they were doing (which makes me wonder if they really cared or if they just wanted to cash their paychecks) or they were too drunk on tequila and peyote to notice what was going on (but then their assistants, managers, agents, etc would have had to be wasted too, I mean someone should have caught it before releasing it). It wasn't just one person's fault it was everyone that was involved in it that made this movie bad. And if Masters felt so strongly about it, he could have walked away (I even blame Stephen Chow, although mildly, since his name is still attached to it)

Everyone loves to point figures when something bomb the fact is they are all at fault. As much as I like the guy even James is at fault. The screw ups on that movie go beyond just Fox execs and it was simply a bad script to begin with. The actors who signed on choose to do it anyway. Some probably even joined up before there was a full script because they really wanted to do DB.

You say 5 years at least I say DB fans would be lucky to ever get another one ever.

DBE SUCKED!!, but even before the movie came out everyone knew it was going to suck, even looking at the movie as not part of dbz the movie suck on its own definatly a b-movie, it is hard to belive if your in a movie that you don't know how bad its going to be, i mean ask dennis hopper did he know super mario bro movie was going to be bad, shoot he had to know!! so spike saying it this persons fault or that persons fault, it doesn't matter you were still in the movie, you didn't say hey this is bad let me bail now!! no you stayed and got your check so hey be proud you got your check for a crappy movie, and just hope they don't riot at the next comic-con you go too!!

nsane27 - 5/13/2009, 3:44 PM
oh an yeah i agree with stupify_me there will probably never be another dragon ball movie, unless some how marvel bought the rights to dragon ball, which would be awsome!!, marvel is really the only one who knows how to make a good comic book movie, dc has done good with batman but suck on every other dc movie, catwoman, superman returns! yuck

I didn't become a fan until recently and I was talked into giving the movie a chance. I wish I hadn't. The only thing right with the movie was the cast (except emmy rossum.. I hate her voice...) The story was bass aackwards and beyond repair. My 2 year old was more disappointed than I was. I feel horrible that I subjected her too it. The 1989 version was way better.
