And that is why it fails. Its an international team so Hollywood can put the movie in international markets and not offend.
Bottom line: $$$ talks. If there was a creator of GI Joe that could have creative control, we'd get a very 300-esque version of GI JOE. But instead we have a toy conglomerate that just wants to sell toys.... A 300-esque version of GI Joe? That would be awful. And full of creepy homoeroticism.

Other than WWII movies, what is the last real Pro-American fictional military movie anyone remembers?

I meant a very accurate interpretation of GI Joe from the comics, ala 300 and Sin City which were very well done considering the source material. Last edited by Knighthart; 02-14-2009 at 12:05 PM.. |

God forbid G.I. Joe get the 300 treatment. It's not sounding like it's going to be all that great as it is, why shit-can it by doing that to it? Besides, everyone is saying this movie is PC crap, but somone would rather watch tanned, ripped men walk about in their underwear for 2 hours in slow motion? That's what I call latent. 300 sucked.
As for Breaker having a PC, kowtow-to-the-terr'sts name, I know any number of American citizens who are of Middle Eastern descent. And so what if he's Middle-Eastern or Brazilian or Swiss? You guys are complaining that this movie is being HUH! GASP! MADE FOR MONEY! Well, sorry, but that's how Hasbro and Hollywood have behaved since they first existed. In fact, it's kind of the entire point of their existence. I'm no fan of this movie from what I hear, but some of you sound downright paranoid. |

I think that was purely PCism and Hollywood making changes for the newer generation who may not have the background us guys and gals had growing up with it. The its kind of stupid that they did that to such an oldschool and original charecter.

Well here comes some doo-doo...though the Hollywood PC crap stings my ass as much as the next guy it does so for one reason. Movies are supposed to be a form of art, right? So why in the hell cant Hollywood drop all this PC...carryin a small dog in my hand bag...big ass sunglasses...give a damn about what Ms. Spears had for breakfast...ingnorant ass horse shit...and give people what they want. They want QUALITY! Not PC, not left wing nor right wing, not shit loads of QUANTITY!
Did you all see where Mall Cop was #1 at the box office? I saw that movie, it was a load of steaming cow dung. Why is it #1? Because at the time it was the cream of the crap quantity! I have an extensive DVD collection. I collect movies that win awards...movies that artfully mean something. I also collect the movies I find interesting or entertaining. I have everything from Paul Newman stuff to the Choen brothers joints. Why? Because they aint garbage! I agree that this movie has been PC'd to death now. I wasnt a hater before but after reading this thread I'm getting closer. I will judge in the theater. And above all else...ROAD HOUSE...is a terrible movie with little or no thought put into it whatsoever. Ol Patrick would get his ass handed to him on a silver platter by one Mr. Chuck Norris. Doc I mean...really. Mall cop? there were dozens of other great movies playing that you could've seen,and you picked mall cop? You went to a bad movie and you got what you paid for. As for Breaker...who cares if he's a middle eastern dude. I mean, IT'S BREAKER! the communications guy. all he should be doing in the movie is working reception at the pitt and answering phones. Lighten up guys.

Maybe he is secretly a member of a middle eastern terrorist sleeper cell who has infiltrated the GI Joe team in an attempt to sabotage them. Probably not though. I just watched a bunch of episodes of 24 and would like to see Jack Bauer in the Joeverse kicking some ass. You gotta love a hero who will just straight up torture some bad guys.
