60 Day Movie Challenge

It has a good story, great characters portrayed by an amazing cast, a perfect soundtrack and it's beautifully directed. What's there not to love?

Everyone knew a Dragonball movie adaptation would be hard to make, but seriously? This isn't even one of those cases when the movie is so bad that it's good. This one is so bad that it's good and then goes back to being bad again. It's an insult to the original series, to the fans and to the movie industry and the people responsible for this and for the upcoming sequel should be stopped.

When a movie is 30 years old and it still is incredibly funny, that's got to count for something.

Every Christmas. Every single Christmas this movie is on television. It has been like this for many years and it will continue to be for many more.

And I will watch it. Again. And again.

Adapting a comic book into a life-action movie is never easy, and most of the attempts fail, either because they have to slaughter most of the plot and they just don't capture the essence of it. This one does not. It has comedy, a great deal of action and an amazing cast (John Malkovich and Helen Mirren are just perfect).

And you know what? It's far from a faithful adaptation, but it's better than the book. And I mean, freaking better.

I've seen so many movies after this one and it still is my favorite. I love the story, the directing is amazing and, for me, it's the best part Jim Carrey ever played (I know, I know, Man on the Moon and all - But that movie just didn't do it for me). And I will never forget that final scene.
