Dragonball: Most hated movie of all time

Really it's as if people are branding this new dragonball adaptation as the anti-christ, AKA Batman & Robin. And that was before they ever shot a single frame! Why? Why are people so intent on seeing this movie fail? I can understand the basic level of simply hating anything juvenille now that you have grown up and such things are beneath you. If they were to adapt pokemon I'd shoot myself for instance...

Eh, what can I say... the internet used to belong to wild and crazy kids, but now those wild and crazy kids have kids and it would seem to me have developed some kind of pompous mentality they used to think was uncool. Yes, Dragonball's just a show about muscles, extreme brutality, fighting, etc. But HELLO, SO IS LIFE! Does no one realize how the world really is? It's not your school, your work place, your neighborhood. It's a grimy, ugly, brutal place full of all the things Dragonball's not afraid to show us...

I'm seriously thinking the people who hate dragonball with a passion are puny nerds. Yes, I'm not afraid to say so. I'm a nerd and I'm puny but I love to think of myself as tough, so maybe that's why I see the appeal of dragonball and the chessclub crowd doesn't. That's fine, different strokes for different folks, so why can't people accept that we all have different interests?

Even so, Dragonball's not so different from Star Wars, Spider-man, Superman, Batman, yet those seem to be more favorable these days... I guess there is some backlash towards Dragonball's extreme popularity. It seems that anything that becomes very popular eventually is hated later on exactly because of that popularity; people look back and wonder why this thing deserved so much fame and therefore decide to belittle it when they can't find a good reason.

I used to be that way myself. I was a cocky jackass who thought I knew it all and could automatically identify good and bad in everything. I was wrong, so very very wrong. I'm nothing. You know, I'm just like a kid again when it comes to movies. I like everything, I'll give them all a chance. The older you get, the more biased and psychologically corrupt you become... I wish people would look at this movie like they did when they were kids, but that's probably too much to ask.
