I've actually been rethinking my entire position on this movie. Once upon a time I thought it would be an epic failure for many, many reasons but, having seen the numbers pulled in this weekend from Star Trek, I now pray that GI Joe turns out to be a HUGE success. The last thing in the world I want to see is a GI Joe movie beaten out by some geeky Star Trek flick. So, in response to the OP's question, I don't think GI Joe will suck at all. Once you get past the accelerator suits, the international focus, Wayans ripcord, Cobra splitting off from MARS, etc. then perhaps this movie will be the best movie of all time. Ok, maybe I won't go quite that far but I do want to see this movie do well now. If for no other reason than to say we were not beaten out by the geekfest that is and always will be Star Trek.
On every level, "Star Trek" is the movie "ROC" is not. Something that appeals to long-time fans and newcomers alike, skillfully constructed by people with genuine respect and affection for the material, and with a near-perfect cast. Whereas "ROC" looks like direct-to-DVD trash, destined for the $5 bin at Wal-Mart. Might as well cast Steven Seagal as Hawk and be done with it. |

yeah, 'cause powered armor is such a ridiculous concept. It's not like companies here and in japan have working prototypes of robotic suits or anything.
Give us the realistic joe we know and love with shapeshifting chameleon spies, teleportation, weather-control devices, dentists turned mad scientists, robots, laser-troopers, genetically engineered rulers, tanks with glass cockpits, mind-control, and ninja! Lots of ninja, damnit! lol |
