Yep. It was. But to certain folks any thread that makes reference to the movie is a big sign saying "come here and complain and spew the same uninformed stuff I say every single time I ever post."
Someday, some folks will have something new to say about something, perhaps. Not today.

I have some animosity towards the film ONLY because they Got some wrestler to play Shipwreck, ‘The Rock’, isn’t it? Not a big wrestling follower unfortunately, but I am a movie follower, and pretty much everything else he's been in has bombed…he’s like a black plague for movies.
That’s the only thing really bothering me so far, too much black or lack of certain characters hasn’t really irritated me much…yet. Either way I’m still giving it a chance, Rockhead or not. |

Hey when something good is reported about this movie then maybe more positives will be said. So far I, Along with many others, have not seem much, if anything, to be positive about with this movie. Sigma six look, horrible actors, so/so director, total screwing up of characters, histories and ethnicities. Wheres the positives?

I will spend $10.25 to watch this movie. Am I excited about this movie. Perhaps not! the plot of this movie is definitely good - Larry Lama is the reason. However, from the images that I saw the Uniform does not portrait individual characters of GI Joe - except Snake eyes, and Baroness - that's why they call Uniform. The reason I am back collecting 25th anniversay Joe is because the figures somewhat remind me as the 80's toys. Most Art cards are awesome. Do I want to collect all the figures with the same black leather figures with different heads? NO WAY! Looking at individual Movie characters without the weapons and without knowing the cast - who plays who - I would have a very difficult time to identify them. The reason GI JOE was great because each individual has its own characteristics - unique uniform, background... It does not have it in the movie beside their names and background. This is one of the drawback in this up coming movie, at least for me. Will they show the characters in Cartoon uniform?
By the way, if you read or watch cartoon, with Duke archivement his age should be at least late 30's to mid 40's - I am talking about if he is a genius in Military. Not 28 year old. I don't care you are genius or not, but by far in real life very very few people even achieve what Duke is achieved by the age of 50. Now I am talking about 28 year old man play Duke - look at the poster, does it he look in the middle age to you????? Duke should be played by someone else (period.) or at least make up him a bit older. Last edited by tuan_tran73; 08-27-2008 at 05:24 PM.. |

These are some reasons I am upset with the direction of the Joe movie.
Duke looks nothing like any incarnation to come before him whether it be comic, toy, or cartoon at least he was always somewhat recognizable. I mean the costume has changed in a lot of those incarnations of Duke, but he has always had blonde hair and a similar haircut and no goatee, so even in different costumes he was recognizable. So in the Joe movie its fine with me if Duke's costume changes but the character inside does not resemble Duke. If you showed most people the pics and poster of Duke from the movie without Duke written on it. They would say who the hell is that. Be truthful with yourselves too most of us would not know that was Duke • Duke and the Baroness were almost married. This totally unnecessary twist speaks for itself. • Ripcord and Scarlett have a flirty relationship. I feel it's worth pointing out that a comic book was able to convey that Snake Eyes and Scarlett had a relationship, but in a movie they can't convey this. • The Joes have an "accelerator suit" which allows them to run 50 miles per hour, which leads to a car chase. You know what else goes 50 miles per hour? All the state of the art vehicles used in G.I. Joe for the past 25 years. Have a car chase with one of the many great vehicles from Joe lore, not Duke or whoever chasing a car in an accelerator suit that just sounds weak in my humble opinion. All this info was was confirmed at the SDCC panel by Hasbro so I'm not making this stuff up. I'm also not saying the movie will suck either. I'm just kinda skeptical right now.
