You've summed up my thoughts pretty well there Crimson

Anyway I'm a pretty optimistic person, and I really don't see any point in getting my knickers in a twist if I don't like a few pictures (I do infact like most of what I've seen and I'm really excited). I'm gonna wait until I see the film, then I'll make my judgement for now, I really like the look of it (minus that excelerator suit or whatever it was) but I doubt that is going to ruin my childhood. Everyone knows that despite what you think now, you'll be there on day one to see it like everyone else, and you know it won't be the GI Joe movie everyone wants, but I reckon we'll all come out of there with a massive smile talking about the amazing action!

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.
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. When I was a kid I liked the Ultimate Worrior, California rasins, Max Headroom, He-Man, Twisted Sister, Thunder Cats, the list goes on. Now a days those things seem dated, and silly. GI.Joe always had it's dated/silly side, but it always had a classic side as well. The classic side is what I'd like to revisit as an adult. It's also what I'd like to see exploited in the new film. Insted it appears they are making it dated in a whole new way. A way that won't seem cool at all in ten, or twenty years down the road. And in the words of Freddy Mercury " Jaws was never My scene, and I don't like Star Wars!" Sorry guys I'm a Star Trek Man! Last edited by delta; 07-10-2008 at 01:22 AM.. |

From what I've heard so far this is going to be a turd. I don't want to bash it. I really want to like it, but every new piece of info just disappoints me that much more.

As a action movie the Joe movie might be good,but as a G.I.Joe A Real American Hero Movie it's going to suck(if the rumors are true). They are totally changing the characters.They're messing up their looks,messing up the nationalities for political reasons and finally, we the fans were promised a true to the comics movie as stated in this interview by Hasbro CEO and producer Brian Goldner:
But what about the movie's spirit? Should fans expect to see a live-action version of the cartoon, an update on the Marvel comics, or something else entirely? According to Goldner, Sommers and crew want to take filmgoers back a couple of decades: "Steve Sommers is very different. But he's perfect, because if you think about his movies like 'The Mummy,' it's the perfect action/adventure movie. If you think about what we're trying to do for G.I. Joe, really bringing back that '80s G.I. Joe from the Marvel comics -- those first 155 issues are really our focus. If you think about that, you'll understand what we're trying to get at with all those characters and all the intricate relationships. I don't think you'd see this movie as wacky. I think you're going to see this movie as being inspirational for younger kids and totally in the sweet spot for the guys who grew up on G.I. Joe." |

My fanboy-sense keeps tingling, the same way it did when I saw the very first leaks of Transformers. No matter how much I told myself that Transformers was going to be a good movie, it actually fell far below even my worst expectations.
I'll keep an open mind, the script could still surprise me in a way the generic mediocrity of Transformers didn't. Time will tell. |

If you think the ARAH fans are saying this movie sucks now,wait until they release pics of Cobra Commander,Zartan and the Cobra troops if they turn out to be totally untrue to the source material.
Let's see all the Paramounties sing the praises of the skull mask Cobra Commander(if that turns out to be true). |
