Oh no, I totally got your point and I've been hearing the same phrase for over a year now. It continues to boggle my mind that everyone thinks that they are touting some kind of sage wisdom by saying "let's wait and see the movie before deciding that you have no interest in it and that it's crap"! Here's a newsflash for everyone, if I see a few minutes of something and it looks like utter shit (i.e. pisspoor CGI, bad acting, cliche'd dialogue, horrible lighting, and a total disrespect for the source material) then I have no need to "wait and see" what I think about it. and as a fan of this property for the past 27 years, I feel like this movie is the ultimate let down and has been half assed from the word-go! The only thing that makes this a G.I.Joe movie is the title and character names.
To clearly answer the original question posed in this thread:
I think this movie will flop. I think it will make about $100 million dollars (from a $200 million dollar budget) and will be the laughing stock of Hollywood for a few years. I also believe that it will cripple the G.I.Joe property that we have especially been enjoying for the past few years.
