owww but the campy 80's version is so much better!

oohhboy · « **Reply #2 on:** June 11, 2003, 11:39:45 PM »

They are replaying them here in NZ right now and it still kicks ass. Much better charater varity and Megatron's a NAZI

. Also no punk whinny kids and PC restrictions found in Adamda aka no shooting at humans or fighting in populated areas.

Does live action men guys in rubber suits?

Live action? Wha?
The majority of it's going to have to be GC, why not just go for a whole GC look. WHO NEEDS REAL ACTORS ANYWAY?

And yeah, the new anime series blows. What's with the mini-cons? It's NOT POKEMON HASBRO!

I knew the change in title would get some people in here.

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #5 on:** June 12, 2003, 03:28:03 AM »

, GO GO POWER RANGERS! DOOO DO DOOO DO DO! IIEE IIEE IEE!

"WHAT IS IT ALPHA 5?"

'I JUST REALIZED THIS SUIT IS DAMN HOT AND SWEATY ZORDON!'

DOOOO DO DOOOOOOOOOOO DO DO!

... Sorry for that little outburst. I just loved the Power Rangers.

My sister bought the movie. It's out on DVD.
The acting is soooo crap.
Ivan Ooze is kick ass.
And the Sydney backdrop?
Cooooool.
The new Ninja Zords kick ass too, in all their computer animated glory.
And that Ninja/Owl chick.....*droool*

I think the blood is already starting to come from my eyes. The Horror. I never liked the Power Rangers, but I grew up watching Transformers and collected had the toys. If it was going to be done like Shrek then maybe I would be okay with it.

Termin8Anakin · « **Reply #8 on:** June 12, 2003, 04:13:02 AM »

Shrek: CG-only
New Transformers: Live action. With CG.

Transformers: New Live Action Film. Power Rangers anyone?

LOL. Your one in a million termin8.

They could so go for another animation. If they revert back to the old rules where they can do the following:

1. Fight anywhere, anytime.
2: Megatron goes back to his NAZI look and just as evil.
3. No min-cons (Cons <- doesn't that tell you something)
4. No kids leading the Autobots just so they can be caputered again!
5. Set it on Cybertron. Would be nice.
6. No beastwars or insecatrons.
7. Deceptacons must lose energron cubes

8. Humans if any can get hurt but not killed (Following with original series rules)
9. All bots must show battle damage when hit.
10. battles must be reasonablely tatically sound. eg. No episode 2 type armies shooting each other point blank.
11.Kill some bots.

Simply just follow th guild lines set out in th original series. Bloodless, but never the less deverstating.

In it's current form, I am so not seeing it.

Termin8Anakin · « **Reply #10 on:** June 12, 2003, 05:01:46 AM »

I didn't know there were so many rules in Transformers.

oohhboy · « **Reply #11 on:** June 12, 2003, 05:19:54 AM »

Some of then are not really rules, but they are alot less strict than Adamada. In Adamada the rules follow something like this.

1. They can not fight anywhere, anytime. Always away from population centers and no one esle on earth are allowed to know there are 4 story robots fighting on earth.
2. The deceptacons are not to totally ruthless in thier quest for power.
3. Must include kids in every episode.
4. No humans are allowed to get hurt let alone kill.
5. Humans must have more than one color/sex and have token fat kid.
6. Every episode has to be a "Autobot of the show".
7. No charaters are to be killed.
8. There must not be any convenient way to get back to cybertron, but be easy to get to earth.
9. All charaters must be sterotypical except for the girls who all must be strong minded.
10 Every 2/3 episode has to introduce a new Mini-con.
11. Plots must be totally linear. eg No twists.
12. Must have over animated "Super modes" for everybody ala DBZ.
13. There must not be any charater development.
14. No direct hits of any kind are to be shown. Therefore none of the bots can ever shot straight at another bot.
15. Must be PC.
16. must have moral of the story.
17. no saddness.

That's the ones on the top of my head.

Power Rangers was a giant ripoff of Voltron. Voltron was much better of course.

As for this movie it better have some good CG if it wants to do good. Alot Better than beastwars cg anyways.

Oldskool · « **Reply #13 on:** June 12, 2003, 03:03:27 PM »

Does anyone remember the CGI Voltron sequal series (a la Beast Wars) a few years back? That was OK...

Oldskool · « **Reply #14 on:** June 12, 2003, 03:07:23 PM »

There is also a DBZ live-action movie FRANCHISE in the works. A movie was announced about a year ago, and nothing was heard of it until about a month ago, when announcement were made saying that they planned on making not one, but several movies!

Termin8Anakin · « **Reply #15 on:** June 12, 2003, 05:10:29 PM »

Oh yeah.
20th Century Fox is making the DBZ live action movie.
They're the ones who are making Transformers as well.

Have you seen the teaser poster?

Griffin · « **Reply #16 on:** June 30, 2006, 11:52:42 PM »

Hmmm, talk about diggin up an old post. Teaser for the new movie. Look who it is!

nitsu niflheim · « **Reply #17 on:** July 01, 2006, 04:42:36 AM »

not a very good teaser...

Griffin · « **Reply #18 on:** July 01, 2006, 08:58:32 AM »

Well, the movie is over a year away, so you know they probably have to keep most of it under wraps. Still.... it's a real-life Megatron, and how can you go wrong with that?

Ceric · « **Reply #19 on:** July 01, 2006, 09:02:31 AM »

Reading the above. I liked original Power Ranger. The rest suffer from Power Ranger Syndrome. In the original a new Ranger, new Abilities, new Zords, they all came over time and the individual Zords were useful. Thinking thats what people wanted to see they have squished all that together so it seems it happens each season/half-season which isn't what we want at all. In fact all of the new versions of shows seem to be suffering from this too... one day one day... things will go back to how they should be.

Athrun Zala · « **Reply #20 on:** July 01, 2006, 08:50:00 PM »

Since Power Rangers are just an adaptation of Super Sentai, as long as the latter exists (which will be likely forever) the first one will just follow suit (not on overall story, but yes on battle sequences and such....)

Nile Boogie · « **Reply #21 on:** July 03, 2006, 10:11:36 AM »

Well That tralier was Asstastic. spiderman3 comes out in a year so there is no excuse for the asstasticness of that trailer. As long as the movie has Stan Bush's "The Touch" then I am fine.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #22 on:** July 03, 2006, 10:28:22 AM »

It wasn't a trailer, it was a teaser. It was designed to let you know the movie is coming and not give much away about it. Its supposed to draw your interest but not actully tell you much. I think it did just that.

nitsu niflheim · « **Reply #23 on:** July 03, 2006, 10:40:12 AM »

didn't work for me... and I grew up with transformers.

Ceric · « **Reply #24 on:** July 03, 2006, 10:45:58 AM »

Mars come on Mars... We all know that they crashed on Earth about no matter whose origin you use.
