Oh you, with your logic and open-mindedness and lack of fanboy rage.
I'm totally with you, btw. I have said many times before, and will continue to say, if the movie sucks I will gladly say so and join you in bashing it. But I will NOT bash something I have seen nothing but the occasional photo of. I hope the movie does very well, is watchable and fun, and spawns cool toys. Fanboy rage makes for great arguements! |

I like the wait n' see attitude. But I'm afarid after the movie it will just be years more of the same thing (a la Transformers) The folks that hate it now will probably still hate (because it's not their G.I.Joe) and the defenders will still defend (because it's G.I.Joe) and we'll still be having the same arguments. Only if the movie is an epic in the ranks of Dark Knight (99% loved and adored) or a complete failure like Street Fighter (99% hated and loathed) will these fights end. (and I personally don't think we'll be getting either... just a nice middle/high ground)

I can only rate a movie based on the pleasure I get from watching it and how much I want to see it again. I even rate the best action movies (something like DIE HARD) by how many visceral thrills they deliver, so expecting more from a GI JOE movie would be the epitomy of 'deluded' in my view.

Take into account that the script has changed. At JoeCon, in talking with a couple of the guys on the Joe Team, they confirmed that the script had changed a couple of times after those who had seen it posted their finding on the interwebs. So, though they might just be minor changes and the plot remains the same, they are still changes nonetheless. Just like someone posted in the neo viper thread, scripts change all the time, including in post. For anyone loving the movie right now, it could totally change in post and you might end up hating it. Works both ways. Until a trailer hits and conveys the feel and style of the movie, there's really not anything to go on.
I, for one, am going to wait and see. I hope the movie succeeds beyond anyone's expectations. I hope the brand strengthens and will be back in the spotlight. I've seen all the horrible half lit pictures and really cannot make any kind of judgment call about the film based on those. I'm not sure how anyone can.

I've said before, I will see the movie, and if it sucks, so be it. For the longest time I was against the TF movie, thinking, "man there goes hollywood turning one of my childhood toys/cartoons into a mainstream property". The first scribbled images of Starscream showed up. I was like is that a monkey? Then the prototype. I was like what the hell? Then I saw protoform Prime. That thing gave me hope. Months pass. Someone gets a test shot of movie Starscream. I am filled with rage at how the F-22 mode is not done justice. More months pass, this time someone gets movie Starscream from a store, and posts a video review. This review changed everything I thought about the toy, I realized that it might actually be fun to play with. It turned out that exact way! I really did not think the TF movie would do well until I saw the final trailers. Those trailers, and seeing the designs in action gave me some hope. The toys in my eyes were brilliant, considering the monumental task that lay ahead of Hasbro and Takara with regards to engineering. I ended up liking the movie. I loved it. I could do without the corny aspects like the dumb/useless hacker subplot, Voigt, and Turturro's wasted roles, Frenzy being an obvious moron, the generic nerd gets hot girl plot, and Prime saying my bad. Oh and Megatron declaring that he is Megatron. There were a lot more great aspects in the film that were awesome. Point is, for months I thought it would suck, when I saw it, I loved it. That situation taught me to not judge a movie til I see it. Sure there are differences, but this is another incarnation of gijoe. Most of the fans of sigma 6. knew it wasn't RAH, but influenced by it, and you know what? They didn't have a problem with that. I see the movie as the same way. So things are changed around, so long as the movie is good, thats all I care about. If it sucks, well that sucks for all of us. The toys I know for sure will kick ass, but I hope the movie does too. |
