Elite Trooper sounds awesome, Loose. I haven't gotten one yet. I've got to cut back on my Joe purchases... it was getting a little out of hand. My wife and I had to have a talk about it. She was totally right. But today....
Today my wife bought me a Dragonhawk when we were at Target! We found one and she said, "I know how much you've been wanting one." She's been reading my Hisstank posts. She's the best wife ever. I have to say I'm thrilled with the Helicopter. It's a great successor to the old Dragonfly. It's really fun, and it's got some neat features. The Night Attack Chopper from a few years ago was a great chopper, but it was awefully big. This Dragonhawk is small and fast. It's nimble. It's somewhere between the old Dragonfly and the old Locust. It's a one pilot aircraft, and the pop-out missile bays are awesome. I highly recommend it. It's really something. It's a great "Joeverse" take on the Army's Comanche. Loose, let's get some lunch soon. Sorry about last time.

You'll love that RHINO. It's a great vehicle. It's a lot of bang for the buck.

I saw it with my wife last night. It was better than I expected, but that isn't saying much. I've seen episodes of Stargate SG-1 that were made more sense, and I hate SG-1.
But I'm not trying to hate on it. It was for the kids. I hope they liked it and I hope it revitalizes the franchise. I'm not bitter. We've all gotten some great toys and cool video game out of all this. And it wasn't the worst movie I've ever seen. It just wasn't anything like the Joe I know. That's all. It's just my opinion, and you asked if I had seen it. I had a good time. I went with my wife and my brother and his wife. We had a lot of fun. I'm not going to rant about it. And I'm not going to rave. There were some fun moments, and some rather confusing moments and the romance between Duke and Baroness... um, what? But it is what it is, and for the sake of the toys I love, I hope it works.

Sorry you didn't like it Oliver.
Personally, I loved it. Thought it was a great action flick and thought it was a good Joe movie. Could it have been better? Yeah, lots better. But it wasn't bad at all and I enjoyed myself watching it. The RoC mythos is a good addition to the Joe verse.

I was hoping to go with my 7 year old nephew but he couldn't come. I'm going tomorrow. I expect it to be cheesy as hell but I bet it will be entertaining. I might have to see it again when My nephew can go.
I would love Heavy Metal but I already have a RHINO. $40 I might spend on the Night Raven. I need to pick up a Dragonhawk though. |

Loose, I hope you really enjoy it. It's fun... and to tell the truth, it's not any more cheesy than the old cartoon. I just thought it had more bad language than it needed. It's just not the G.I. Joe I know... and they could have easily included more characters, which would have been nice. I'm glad Troynos and others liked it. Like I said, I didn't think it was all bad.
I guess I wanted something more like the old comic... and the Duke/Baroness romance bothered me.
