Oh, how could I forget that? They already did the clone wars cartoon thing, which was really cool. If they were gonna do something like this, they shoulda bridged the gap between episodes III and IV. It might not be as action packed as the clone wars, but I'd go see it.

Really? You've seen it? So you know if it's good or bad? And if Im not mistaken, it's the pilot for the new animated series.

I'm not a very big Star Wars fan, but I think the Clone Wars film and series are warranted. They hint at this HUGE war all throughout the other movies, and they skip over it, only having a few vaguely-plotted video games, and animated snippets with eye-achingly bad art to fill in the gaps.

Not to mention the fact they didn't have to make the pilot into a theatrically released movie, they thought it would be a great way for everyone to see it, and a novel way to premier it.

A movie that DOESN'T need to be made, "The House Bunny." I was looking at the preview and I thought, where have I seen this before in the Legally Blonde franchise? And then I saw a movie poster that said "From the Screen Writers of Legally Blonde." So they're copying themselves I see. Blonde Bimbos haven't been funny since the Bush Sr. administration. And if guys wanna see a chick doing humiliating things in skimpy clothes, drop the act and just get some porn. it will be a lot less humiliating.

The live-action Dragonball that, you won't seee hit theaters until next year. Simply by the scarce spoiler material I can tell that it will be Dragonball in name only.

Video Game movies wouldn't be so bad if the directors and writers actually PLAYED the games first. Mario and Double Dragon were both considerably terrible. Though, Mario's charm lies in the actor who played Mario (am I correct if I say Bob Hoskins? I'm sure that's his name). Seems like he brought too much to a film he didn't need to. The rest of it was just trying to name dinosuars and irrelevant characters after characters that appeared in the video game.

And DON'T get me started on Double Dragon.... shudder shudder...

Prince of Persia could be good. Based on a decent game, likeable setting and Jake Gyllenhaal is studly awesome actor.

Star Wars: Clone Wars is a movie that I don't need.

"Clone Wars" was already an animated series on Cartoon Network (remember?) that spanned from the ending of Epidode II to the opening sequence of Episode III; so unless there's new stories that they didn't tell with that, again, I don't know why there was a need to make it.

NO no no no! You know what movies that shouldn't be made?

Those horrible Brazillian CGI movie knockoffs

The writing and animation are so poor.... they're blatantly stealing ideas so some myopic Grandparents will get them for their 5 year old grandkids... and they just put forth the effort of an animation student that shows upt to class one day out of 5...

Just because you might not like Dr. Strange doesn't mean it shouldn't be made.

I for one, am excited and see no reason why it can't be a great movie.

Hey, I thought Silent Hill was pretty good for a movie based off of a game.

Yes, it was Bob Hoskins, and he was great. The biggest problem for me was John Leguizamo as Luigi. Nothing against him, he impressed me in the preperation he did for Sid the Sloth in Ice Age (as a amature VA his method of creating the character was cool to me.) but he's no Luigi Mario *shutters as he types that.*
