Ridiculous ninja antics (Snake eyes jumping about 20 feet in the air) that remind me of that CGI cartoon they did, crazy wave guns and all kinds of other realistic crap sealed the deal for me that this movie is going to be just as awful as I anticipated.
Prior to this I was fairly certain it was gonna suck anyways, but this confirms it. Ripcord as a Waynan's brother? Come on. If they wanted to add a token black guy, they could have chosen an actual black character? If he HAD to be a black comedian, then bring back Big Lob, or some other obscure character. The fact is, Ripcord is a white guy. There's no reason to make him black. Choose another character.
Also, what is with this black ops crap? Part of the coolness of GI Joe as a child was they weren't your typical army guys. Seeing guys like Bazooka in a football jersey and seeing that they DIDN'T wear uniforms was part of what made them cool. Now they're all in black ops body armor. What the hell?
Why is Duke played by a guy that looks like he's 25? Mark Harmon would have been a perfect Duke, but we get some college kid to lead GI Joe.
Which btw, I keep hearing is a UN strike force and not a "Real American Hero" to be politically correct. What the hell?
I am convinced that Hollywood will continue to destroy all my favorite childhood memories. The first MOTU was horrible. Transformers is an abomination and now they're destroying GI Joe as well.
It would have been nice to see a movie that everyone can enjoy instead of a movie clearly geared towards children, and horribly done. I would have liked to see a movie that got strong reviews and actually HELPED the toy line.
If they wanted to make a GI JOE live action movie, it should have been taken seriously. Otherwise just make another damn cartoon. Black Hawk Down is the best military movie I can remember seeing. I remember thinking when I saw it that THIS is how a live action GI Joe movie should go down.
Instead we were handed this garbage.
