It's like they think we're too stupid to know what we're talking about. Ultimately though I doubt this movie will be made for us fans. It will be made to get kids to buy a new generation of GI Joe toys that will come out at the time of the movie preview. I have a feeling most of what we consider sacred will be thrown out the window with the movie's release and the 25 years (well 12+ of Hama's magical era) will be rewritten. If the movie and subsequent merchandising does well, I don't think we will need to worry about another classic CC repaint - it will be a new one based on the movie. And likely one less detailed and more "playable" for 9 year olds. If the movie and merchandising tanks out, the question will be if Hasbro sees enough profit in what we collectors spend. And that may be our best chance at getting new treatments on the classic characters... |

Damn its a whole lot of doom and gloom on this thread isnt it? C'mon guys. The movie hasnt even started filming and already people are passing judgement? People already making up their minds that the movie sucks.
They will never make a movie to appease a fan base. It doesnt happen. And when it does, fans still bitch and whine. Why would a movie company want to listen to us if all we do is bitch? Lets give it a shot and see what they do with this. At the worst, itll be better than the first movie and cobra la. Last edited by Dark 5cythe; 01-18-2008 at 11:24 PM.. |

Dont be surprised if the movie only enhances the awesome figures we are getting know. also don't be surprised if the joe characters in the movie wear their traditional uniforms, which would make a totally different style of figure pointless. It really would be a waste anyway, the new 25th style joes are as playable as ever if they get the weapon grip fixed there have never been more playable joes. why take two years to re-establish the brand only to trash what has been and will continue to be an enormous success that would just be bad business and really stupid, i just don't see it

being as all the joes are going to be very young in this movie it only makes since ol' CC would be young to. I like the kid and don't really see a problem with it. But i do wonder if there will be even one big name actor in the film

I understand there is no way to make a movie that will fit into the expectations of every fan. That's a lot of people who each have their own opinion. But there's no reason to ignore the pretty basic angles of a storyline. |

Yeah, really??? Some of you guys sound like you have already decided you will not like it, no matter what.
How about you stop listening to every far fetched rumor out there and simply enjoy the fact that this movie is even being made for now. You can whine and complain all you want if it turns out to be a big huge piece of crap, that nobody likes or goes to see. And for the next smart guy who's about to come back with "like Transformers was?": You best check the bottom line on just how much money was made on that movie and all its merchandise. If you didn't care for it, that's your opinion - which you are more than entitled to - but you need to remember that you are in the extreme minority, and big hollywood isn't after your approval anyway. Just be happy they are making this movie at all and that they are casting people who's names you can even recognize. Who knows, maybe they are actually capable of playing these parts. Some pretty experienced movie producers seem to think so. Oh, and if you think the plot might be a little simplistic for people of your intellect, perhaps Hasbro and the producers are just maybe possibly at least partially trying to market to oh, I don't know, our KIDS, so that maybe possibly they might want to buy, hmmmm, the TOYS... come on people! |

I don't know how to feel about this. This guy doesn't look like he could play the part, to me. I've only seen him in a couple movies, so I guess I should withhold judgement.
A little young to be playing CC isn't he? |

This is horrible news. My expectations for this movie just fell through the floor. This douche has no business playing CC. And the whole Rex/Duke garbage is beyond forced.
