I can watch the Mummy over and over again and still enjoy it. It's a fun movie.
Van Helsing isn't as fun, but there's stuff about it that I enjoy. I just feel that it tried to do too much.
What will kill the toyline is the lack of new material and new people. They can only redo classic stuff for so long before it gets stagnant, it needs injection of new. It needs a new generation of fans to enjoy it.
And the movie is still G.I. Joe, just not the G.I. Joe that you grew up with. But it can be the G.I. Joe that this new generation grows up with.
I think that's people's biggest problem. They have this image in their head of what THEY think/want. And that's okay. But have to realize that this movie isn't being made for you, it's being made to attract new fans to the Joeverse.
Again like up top I want the movie to have something from all past incarnations of GI Joe......where have I stated that gives you the impression that I want the movie to be straight up 80s Joe? If this movie tanks its not going to inject squat in to Joe.....if they want kids to buy this stuff then give them a decent cartoon to watch.....I understand it needs to be reinvented.....I know this all the way....but Im no holding my pillow in hopes it stays ARAH.........gosh no!!!!
No I have this image in my head that the Script sucks.....The Directer Sucks and the cast sucks..........Thats why I dont have faith in this movie.....not what era of joe its going with....
