I was hoping this would be at least decent, but I'll probably watch it on DVD someday.

—Actually, I quite enjoyed The One—mindless entertainment.

I'm with Ookla on "The One".  Certainly not the best film I've ever seen, but entertaining enough for a rental, to be sure.

I'm excited to go and see this.  I know a lot of people are mad that it is breaking canon. . . I'm just hoping that it makes up for it by how it's making it more modern and completely changing it.  I think the thing that upsets me is when they try to pass something as canon and totally screw it up.  Whereas it is knowingly not supposed to be the same. . . I might enjoy it.  I hope. ha ha.

I did too.  All of my other Final Fantasy friends make fun of me for it, but oh well.  Then again, I think the first time I watched it I was really into the whole Gaea based religions.

I don't know that I'll ever see the movie, but I LOVE the theme song.  And the mv for it is great too.  Some of the rest of the album isn't too great.

See, with Dragonball I could probably go and see it and maybe even enjoy it, but that is only because I wasn't really a fan of the series itself to begin with.  ;)

It does look like it might be a terrible movie though.  :D

Oh, and Spirits Within and The One were awesome movies.

Ditto here, CK.  The only time I ever watched much DBZ was when I was in French Polynesia.  For some really weird reason, it was the only show that the entire family would sit down to watch every evening on television.  And this was an otherwise normal Polynesian family.

Same thing in Mexico--everybody watched DBZ, regardless of age.
