I'm Glad I'm Not Working On This Movie

I was thinking about this after reading the millionth comment proclaiming that "this movie's going to suck". While I would ordinarily have loved to be the one bestowed with the job of working on the GI Joe movie in some capacity, I'm ultimately glad that I'm not. It would be a lose lose situation. If the writer was to adapt GI Joe issue #1 verbatim (ala Sin City) and the cartoon people would gripe. Or you'd find a contingency of fans who would say that the writer should stop living in the past and update everything instead.
It seems that some folks just don't want to be happy. I won't pretend to agree with all the choices made by the filmmakers. Some of the decisions have actually made me groan loudly. However, I'm not spouting off that tired old, uncreative "this movie's going to suck" line. It may indeed suck. Hell, it may be the worst movie since the Crow (which I personally hated). But, hey, you know what? It may actually be decent. It might even end up being *gasp* great. We have no way of knowing yet. Sure, a draft of the script was leaked, but who knows if it's had alterations made since then?
It just strikes me as totally silly and irrational to so fully judge something that hasn't even been viewed yet... based on still pics and a potentially very outdated script, no less.
Nobody wants this movie to kick butt more than me, but let's face it. There's no way it's going to be perfect for any of us. That would be impossible. I'm fine with the fact that I'm not going to like everything about the movie. I can cringe and move on, because I'm equally sure that there's going to be things that I do like about it too.
In short, how about we wait and see what the end product is going to be rather than using that unoriginal, used-to-often phrase, "This movie's going to suck".
