Would you see an R rated GI.Joe movie?

[Reznor]

Id love to see a Battlestar Galactica (new) style GI Joe.

People mention about GI Joe would come off as too sci-fi-y to make realistic, I call bollocks, look st Battlestar, the show is nothing but screaming Sci Fi, but done incredibly realistic, and the reason why is because its character driven, and all the sci-fi remains in the background for the most part.

Its all about making a believable atmosphere, something that may not happen in our reality, but something that could be made to believe it could happen in another.

Do not make pointless assumptions such as this. I'm nineteen right now, but I've liked Joe since at least 2002, when I was thirteen. So, er, yeah, I'll go ahead and say No.

It would not bother me either way. And after going to see 300 last years it must not bother the parents either because a lot of them left 10 year olds and younger in there. I guess what I am saying is if it has a proper reason and it enhance the movie, I would not want them skip on some major point to make be for the teens and children who parents will buy them the ticket anyway.

Now if its not necessary to story stick pg 13 format.

You know, if the movie was R but still had the exact same story, and exact same cast, (most) everyone here would still be complaining. If you think over the top violence and few boobs and a couple of F bombs is going to make it better, then you are too easily pleased. A good story is a good story, no matter how you tell it...it remains to be seen if this is going to be a good story though.

I mean, c'mon, Snake Eyes' family dies so he finds his life purpose in becoming a ninja. that's just silly, and try to do it with any sort of seriousness, and you will have people laughing their way out of the theater.

I disagree... when we have a very succesful movie about a person finding his new purpose in life after a series of personal set backs by becoming a Samurai. We have lots of other films (particularly in the 80s) about people finding meaning in the Martial Arts.

True the idea of true Ninja clans in the 21st century is kinda ridiculous... but it can be done in a way that will just seem to be a fantasy without being LOL-worthy.

I don't think Hasbro will push this to R rated movie. Historically, not too many R rated movies make a lot of money. For the fact that this movie is intended to all the ages(7 and above). I think we are looking at PG-13.

[Skyhawk]

Yes and no... Yes if it was made to reflect real war like Black Hawk Down or Saving Privet Ryan. As in you run out of bullets and people die.

No if it had lots a F-bombs and nudity. It never has and there is no reason for it.

I don't plan on seeing the one they're making now until it's on HBO or something. An R rating means nothing to me. Starship troopers had an R rating and it still sucked.

Damn right I would!
