I hope they do the best they can with what they got in this movie. I'll worry about the rest later, like when I decide if I want the dvd or not.

This thread most likely has it right. Give up any notions that it will be anything like the cartoons or (original) comic, and accept that the characters will be somewhat loosely based on their filecards, but will not have any ARAH uniforms, and go enjoy what may be a decent action film. Otherwise, your just going to hate it. And personally, I'm sick of the predictions. I miss the days when people just waited for something to come out, and THEN they gave their opinion. And then they moved on with their lives. It's only a movie.

The only prediction I have is that it'll probably be pretty action packed! As far as expectations are concerned, that's it! Not to state the obvious here but this movie could go one of only three ways...It could suck, it could completely kick arss, or it could fall somewhere in the middle. Personally, I'm hoping they stay away from the sucking part! And I believe they CAN and WILL! The only question in my mind is just how good will it be.

Count me in on that. Well, I am a huge Sommersverse fan, and I do admit he's had his bummers ("Deep Rising")...
I would put this under great, but they have that cow Sienna Miller in it instead of someone good, thus it's under OK.

I read an interview with JJ Abrahms on Star Trek XI where he said there'll be no footage of his movie at a big "comic-con". He went on to say "Transformers 2" isn't going" and most importantly, "GI JOE isn't going". It didn't specifiy but I presume he meant SDCC??
Dammit, when are we gonna get some footage then???

I too agree with this thread...
I was a naysayer about the Transformers movie until I sat in the theater. The scene when Bumblebee & Barricade fight, then Transform, launching into the car chase still gives me goose bumps and makes me cheer like a fan boy everytime I see it. Let's give it a chance... I mean, c'mon, Ray Park as Snake Eyes and Dennis Quaid as Hawk are two perfect bits of casting! And another thing it has going for it: George Lucas is NOWHERE near it! |

I will be there because I'm obsessed with GIJOE. No amount of "the script sucked", "the costumes and actors are whack," will stop me from checking it out. It will be okay for the fact that Snake Eyes will be running around kicking butt. It will not be a masterpiece but should be fun.

Lee Byung Hun is a good actor and I think he will do a good job as Storm Shadow. I saw him in a totally unrelated role and he pulled off acting quite well. I am also tired of all the whining and predictions when the damn thing isn't even out yet. If it turns out to suck then so be it, but at least we will know for sure when the thing comes out.
I don't think it will be the best movie of next year but it might be for the summer. I think the toy line will kick ass and think we will see classic stuff in the mix that most of the doubters think will be in the line. Being that this is a Hasbro line I wouldn't be surprised at all. What may make or break the movie is corniness. So long as we don't have a cliche laughable subplot like hackers catching onto mysterious code from outerspace and a plate of donuts, we should be okay. If Wayans can stay as far away from comedy as Tyrese did from singing in Transformers then maybe he will be okay as Ripcord. I hope the action is not too over the top and I hope nothing corny is in the movie. |
