Honestly it was better than the last piece I saw from Hollywood. Keep this one away from young sensitive children. Maybe one of the best adolescent (not Will) super hero flicks I have seen.

Asashoryu is thinking, "I sure hope I don't have to watch their thoroughly dreadful movie. If forced to, I will again fake injury and flee to Mongolia."

I know him quite well and he is all these. Outstanding man he is! ExPrinceska, Other characteristics that dont match with Asashoryu are Very talktive, straight-forward, ki o tsukawanai, interesting. If u still feel he has got everything common well i cant say anything other than that, he is wearing socks with pointed sleepers unlike Smith and Charliz :)

Asashoryu shouldn't be partaking in these events now that he has lost his complete dominance. Remember what happened to Balboa in Rocky III? Clubber Lang demolished Rocky after he did the same type of promos! "Asashoryu, you have to get the eye of the tiger back"

I think (I could be wrong) but European-African=Afrikaan, stemming from a language the dutch colonists created in South Africa.

Professor:

" Charlize Theron is African born While Will Smith is American born. what an interesting world...... "

Oh boy, the PC crowd will have to gnaw on that one. Will is African-American, and she is... umm, what? European-African? African-European-American? I give up...

Thats the reason every japanese say to a foreigner with a grim face Hageshii desu ne. You got to be Hageshii from inside not outside.

Nidu, why would you say that Asashyoryu is not aggresive, smart, fun loving top quality man? What do you know about Asashyoryu? I know him quite well and he is all these. Outstanding man he is!

Somebody seems like needing a bit of public appearances (trying to brush up image?), else I only can agree with the former posters asking what the frog he is doing there.

Why is Asashoryu there?

Smith and charliz are both aggresive, open, smart and fun loving top quality people. Its not about the type, Asashoryu wont even match these charactersitcs. May be thats the reason she is not sharing her second arm with him.

I bet Asashoryu wants to teach Charlize Theron some Sumo moves :p

Charlize Theron is a luck woman because she is between two handsome and succesful men. Wish to be in her place :)

One has to wonder if Will Smith is going to try & fill out like Asashoryu so he can play some part???????? Movie people are crazy for sure!!!!

Oh I can't wait to see this flick, a superhero that flicks a whale, makes money doin it as well. Blubber flick huh?

Asashoryu is not short too. I am surprised.

Charlize Theron looking fantastic as ever. Will Smith is no short guy, so for her to stand at around the same height as him she must be really tall, heels notwithstanding.

proffessor: The shoes are probably more comfortable than having to deal with all the stupid questions she's going to be asked at the press conference!

Asashoryu is superman in Japan. But he doesn't get changed in the phone box cos he'd get stuck, nor would he need to go there since he has a new shiny mirror cell phone from Softbank.

Altria - It's about a black superman. Cool, huh!

Is the movie about sumo wrestling?

Just wondering how confortable Charlize is in those high heels

Charlize Theron is so gorgeous. Why is Asashoryu there, does he have some connection to this movie?

The good, the bad & the ugly. Redux.

Nessie - Hancock in Japanese means half a cook. Hee hee! So, this movie is half-cooked, or half-baked or something like that.

When Will Smith heard what the title of the movie means in Japanese, he wanted the Japanese release retitled "Bai-gurai-cock."
