I think it's a real shame that this is coming out (maybe only got made in the first place) in the wake of so many recent superhero films. It's as though the expectation is that this sort of "fanboy" story must involve superpowers, and the suits are there to explain how GI Joe team members have superpowers.
Except.... they don't. If it were me, the movie should have approached this material as a cross between JLA and/or Avengers and Batman -- a team of colorful personalities who have no superpowers but access to a nearly unlimited amount of Very Cool Technology. Just take Bond or Batman and up the excitement by making it seven or eight people instead of one. Add some sexual tension, some intriguing references to Mysterious Pasts here and there, and cool badguys and you've got a movie. We never needed these guys to be capable of leaping over buildings and dodging bullets -- just give them cool planes, cool tanks, cool jetpacks, and a cool HQ. Odd that the Transformers movie struggled because they wanted to focus on normal humans instead of superpowered robots, while the GI Joe movie seems afraid that normal humans are dull and essentially turned them into superpowered robots....

It reminds me of the great John Lennon song:
"Imagine there no HATERS. I wonder if you can? No people to hate those HATERS. A brotherhood of Tankers. Imagine all the little plastic people collectors, living life in peace.... ohhhh ohhhh oohhhhhh. You may say-ay I'm a dreamer... but I'm not the only one. I hope some day you will join us.

You know something......the haters never threaten anyone with violence......You should take your on advise. People have EVERY right not to like what they dont like. Its ok to come here and say what you do like about the film, but if a hater speaks their mind its a no, no.....

Actually, I'm quite certain I've seen some of the "haters" threaten (jokingly or otherwise) Hasbro Executives, Paramount Executives, Stephen Sommers, and anyone else they feel like "blaming" with bodily harm, humiliation, and even death. Or at the very least suggest that such things should be done to them.

You can do the internet version of sticking your fingers in your ears, closing your eyes, and singing "lalalala" all you want. If you want to refuse to believe that any Joe Movie "hater" on the internet has inferred or explicitly stated those things just because I feel no need to comb over thousands of b***y posts for a quote link, more power to you.

Because you must not be referring to financial success. If you're talking about your personal opinion of the movie, then fine. But Transformers did anything but "struggle" at the box office. |
