The original dragonball had plenty of babes, cars and guns... More fighting then anything, and it didn't focus on it, but there was quite a bit. I know what you mean though.

Same thing will happen with this movie: anime/manga fans will bitch about how badly they butchered it and I'll be there saying "I told you not to get exited about it."

I, Robot is a special case. No part of the movie has any conceivable relation to the book other than the fact that there are Robots in it. You could argue that there is a connection to Asimov's novel Caves of Steel, (awesome book) because it's about a detective who's investigating a murder in a similiarly styled city, but the things they do ... uggh. It'd be like if they made a Lord of the Rings movie where Frodo keeps the ring for himself, turns into a super-sayan, and fights Sauron in a four hour duel to the death. It's a slap in the face of everything the original work was meant to stand for.
The picture of Will Smith pissing on Asimov's grave is very applicable.

I would pay to see that movie. You should be a script writer.

If there are gonna be any four hour duels with super saiyans you better make sure that 90% of that duel is comprised of pointless dialogue or it'll be slapping the spirit of super saiyans in the face as well.
