I don't have a problem with silliness in past GI Joe, and I don't contest that GI Joe should have some sort of suspended disbelief required to enjoy it...
I was just hoping for something a TAD more serious and not some typically bad Hollywood sci-fi movie... I think the X-Men films were way toned down from their silliness in the comics... No bright yellow spandex, and the toned-down leather mess didn't bother me that much.
GI Joe: Rise of Cobra
seems to be toned UP in the disbelief department... I don't see military, I see crazy future-space movie when I see something like that.
And I completely agree that nonsense like Fatal Fluffies was completely stupid. I cringed when watching that episode for the first time as an adult. Who greenlit that nonsense?
But with that said, why do they continue to have to make GI Joe into some silly sci-fi mess? I WANT them to change it and make it more military and believable... Can't it go the route of
Dark Knight
and be more reality-based while fantastic elements still happen? Instead of a ridiculously flashy film like
Batman Forever
which is in the realm of believable only if you're heavily medicated?
