This Movie Is Going To Suck

[Deckard]

X-3 was crap for many reasons but the majority being that singer wasnt the director and they tried to cram too many plots and characters in the same movie in only one hour and 30 minutes. Spidey 3 was a bit more watchable (yeah emo park was kind goofy but funny) but the biggest problems with it were too many plots and the new goblin looked like a frackin ninja on a hoverboard. what the frack? I will say sandman was pretty much the best thing about that film abosolutely flawless casting on that part and he looked perfect too. now as for the joe movie many of the complaints are valid and some are just people ranting, which are also valid. My personal thinkis while sommers makes enjoyable films(ie the mummy films and while it was horridly inaccurate i liked van helsing) hes not the right kind director for this project, there have been wwwaaayyyyy to many change to the origins,the look and casts for the characters( marlon wayans and sienna "i complain about having to wear fake boobs" miller, and channing "I couldnt make the cut for a power rangers episode" tatum as duke) and the over all look and feel of this movie just doesnt make me feel its gi joe. more rather this is just a slaptogether cookie cutter action film that has familiar characters names and title thrown on it in an effort to milk it for all its monitary worth then forget about and move on to the next thing. I mean when we were all growing up as kids things stuck around, like transformers and gi joe and even ninja turtles. now we're lucky if a franchise lasts more than a year for any cartoon or media property. So in closing this time i say let those who wish to see it see and those who dont dont. I know i will be one of those who dont and for my own reasons. Others may be more accepting to these changes and willing to go with them and if i am labeled a fanboy because of my unwillingness to lay back and accept these changes to a property that once was great and had the potential to be so again but isnt due to entertainment short sightedness then so be it.

Once we all se the trailer, then we'll see. I remember X-3 having a good trailer though and that movie albeit a money maker was a slap in the face to the fans, especially after X2 was good.

I think by SM3 i just lost my patience with the cast. I never liked Dunst as MJ. So by 3 i just couldnt stand to look at her. And tobey was ok as Spidey in 1 & 2 . 3 felt different and i cannot put my finger on it. It was a very forgetable movie IMO.

Your eyes gather the data while your brain interprets it based on your own preconceptions of what GI JOE must be.

But okay, I give up. It'll 'suck' if that makes you happy.
I can't be bothered trying to convince people that life is actually more enjoyable when you're being optimistic and seeing the potential that a film like this has to offer. If I'm wrong and the film is bad then I shrug my shoulders and move on to something else Joe related. My comics will still be there. My figures and DVD's will still be there. I will have lost nothing.
If you're right about it 'sucking', you can be proud of the fact that a year's worth of cynicism has been 'justified' and say "I told you so" until you're blue in the face.

Who cares what I think anyway? Stick to your guns and hate the film... Hearing the "suck" cliché for the umpteenth time won't sour the enjoyment I expect to have one jot, and the only people losing out will be those who convince themselves by saying it so often.

All of two seconds..It was nothing compared to the third one..but you get my point..Many hated X-3 and I can see why..Ratner didn't put the depth into the film that Singer did..just alot of action and fight scenes..
I liked it if nothing else because Colossus was suiting up and because Beast was used..
I hated the loss of detail and depth to character personalities too, but I liked seeing Beast and Colossus doing battle..
FYI, Singer was supposed to be writing how he would have done x-3 and it was supposed to be utilized into a comic..
Never heard anymore about it though...

well rage thats the way i look at it too. I'm sure the movie IMO is not going to be very well done. Sure its more than likely gonna have some really cool action sequences and snappy one lines but I agree. I still have my DVDs action figures and the comics. And despite my personal preferance i still adhere thus far to the movie not going to be good. Everyone has their choices and opinions on what they think and feel and hey if im wrong and the movie turns out to be super awesome i'll admit im wrong. of course the action figures may only exsist till the movie stuff starts hitting. :<

Don't get me wrong o.k. I've been optimistic for a very long time that the movie would be good. I like the birds, and the bees! It's just when I see what I see comming out about this movie, common sense takes over. It looks bad, I keep trying to interperate it in a way to make this stuff look good, but I just can't. I can't justify it. Bad casting, bad director. Common sense tells me it will be bad. I wish like hell it woulden't be, but My eyes aren't telling me lies. They didin't lie about the crap I saw Transformers turn into, they aren't lying now. Some people will like it shure, but some people are dumb asses. I can't change that.
I've been trying to forgett the Transformers movie ever since I saw that turd to no avail. I won't scar my mind again with another POS that steals the name of something I used to think was cool.

Lets just hope this new cartoon turns out good.

yup its looking sucky
i also disliked all the marvel movies except the new hulk.
I would love to see these type of movies made in a more
stylized approach. ala 300,sin city,etc

With this movie the main thing I worry about is how well it is produced. The changes don't matter to me as much, I don't care if Snake Eyes stays silent on purpose. What I do worry about, is Sommer's production. Quaid's interviews don't really help either. I don't want to see a live action version of the 86 movie or a live action movie based on the cartoon, with all the goofy quirks retained. I want to see a serious movie with minimal comedy relief, and action that is believable.

All in all I want to see a good movie, some have said this movie will suck as is the title of the thread. Maybe it will, but there is a chance it won't.

Changes are nothing new, the new cartoon is out of RAH continuity, and so was Sigma 6. Sigma 6 the cartoon was not good, not because of being in its own continuity, but because it wasn't very intriguing and was generic. If the new movie has a good story and is shot well with good visuals and very, very minimal comedy relief, I don't care if Snake Eyes shows up in red(which he sadly did in a comic not too long ago, and an RAH one at that!), the movie will be good.

Back in the day a lot of people thought Star Wars:A New Hope would suck, and look how that turned out. I am skeptical but hope the movie will be good.

"It'll suck because I won't like it".
I didn't like CITIZEN KANE, ergo it sucked. I love CARRY ON CLEO, so it must be the best film ever made.

That seems to be the sum of it so far, and I can't argue with that 'logic'.
But, being made to feel part of an inferior, ever diminishing minority to be 'pitied' & tacitly sneered at simply because they choose to be optimistic and excited about GI JOE: THE RISE OF COBRA is profoundly offensive.

Ironic then that so many of the movie haters are embracing the news of the new series, despite it sounding so different in tone, character and continuity to what's gone before.

Ultimately, for me to decide that a film will be bad before I've seen it, I have to hear tales of people walking off set, hasty script rewrites, panicked executive meetings and multiple reshoots. Until i hear such tales, I choose to assume the best before I actually see the finished product. I don't really think it's fair to be made to feel sub-normal for adopting such a fair-minded stance. But that's obviously just my very singular view.

And I loathed the pretentious, poe faced 'style' of SIN CITY, whether it echoed it's source or not. Despite that, I do at least acknowledge that it was a well made & unique film.
Still, by that darned logic of "Joe Pre-Movie Haters here, I guess it "sucked" because I didn't like it. I did at least extend the makers the courtesy of watching it first before passing judgement .
