This Movie Is Going To Suck

[Deckard]

Exactly Sab. There are those who are passionate about the properties they grew up with and love and then there are those who just want to complain about everything. I suppose i fall into the first category as i was originally all for a live action gi joe movie and was jonesing about it until i saw eveyrthing i have been seeing and read all that i have. Now i will admit the TF movie was watchable but im sorry it'll never hold a candle to the original one :> However it seems as of late every property being made into film, Resident Evil and Gi Joe to name two...are being bastardized to the point they are not even the same entity anymore. Resident evil might have been more acceptable if it had never been called resident evil and not tried to be a part of that universe. I feel the same for the Joe movie. Perhaps it may be a big hit i wont deny that but i will not consider it to be GI Joe there are just too many unforgivable changes to make me think otherwise at this point.

wait a joe dies? OH PLEASE be Ripcord who eats it. Oh please :>

They're going the Sci Fi route AND going international, so that gives them a pass not to be limited to US military uniforms, equipment and weaponry. Power Suits + Ranger training = Power Rangers. Yaaay

I do like that when they're geared up they have a unifying team look to them - sorta like how most of the original 1982 team of 13Joes were green shirts. I'm 85% happy with the casting choices; I'm sure Eccleston will do fine as Destro, I'd just always envisioned a more athletic actor. Karl Urban or as mentioned earlier, Gerard Butler would've been my picks.

now Karl Urban woulda been a much better duke than that reject from a power rangers casting call Channing Tatum.

Saving Private Ryan proved CGI can be used to outstanding effect in a war movie.

Great thread. Throws all the apples in one basket. I just don't get how some can hate a movie that they haven't seen a trailer for much less the movie itself. Fun to read.

Not a bad choice for Duke. Even though I don't mind Channing.I just want him to be true to the Duke we know..the all American boy and tough as nails attitude.
