You can not ingore the fact there is a seriously large amount of individuals that are not going to like this movie, what is about and what "change" it is forcing upon the future of GI JOE. It is a total slap in the face to all who knew GI JOE. The reason they went "black" is so they can get all the EMO and Columbin High School wannabe terrorists into the theatres ala Matrix cool guy in trenchcoat attack sequances for them to googoo at.
They have made a serious mistake turning people away form this, you would have thought they would want this message board to be engulfed in massive amounts of posts of how awsome the movie is going to be. This could have been my stance, I might have given it a chance had they took notes from their Resolute counterparts and Hasbro's push of the 25th anniversay figures. I do not understand these changes and never will. By ignoring it all and just seeing to see an action movie defeats the purpose and gives money to those who do not deserve it for such a mockery and laughable representation of something I entriley enjoyed. I had not been keeping up with all of this movie crap until I found the 25th anniversary characters at a Target one night. When I saw how awesome they had made the new figures I was like "whoa is this what the movie is going to bring back, will it actually once again make me love GI JOE?" I got really excited at that point and tried to stay away from watching any trailers or looking at any screenshots. But guess what, the inevtiable happned and I saw the power suits, the cheesy actors, and all the other garbage so far put out (what little they have as they know they have messed up big time and fear what will happen if they show more)and everything went down hill from there. They looked nothing like GI JOE and definealtey nothing like the 25th\modern line. If these chnages were damned nessecary and all of you love that so much Hasbro should have just re-released Sigma 6 as 25th logoed packaging, I could have stayed non-collector and saved an assload of money over the last couple of years. the 25th line reguvinated my will to spend money on thier products and I aslo spent a ton of money on vintage vehicles out there for some folks trying to sell stuff off on ebay to make some money in thie rediculous economy. If it was not for the 25th\modern figures, that would have never happened. Now ROC ruins it all and puts us right back in the Sigma 6 era. Thanks for nothing!

It will suck because there will not be a Weather Dominator in it.

It will suck because we don't have a Serpentor on an Air Chariot screaming "This I Command!!!".

There is too much nerd rage over ROC.
I tossed and turned for a few hours over it, I then went and a made a sandwhich.

Well, I honestly think it won't suck. I like a lot about it. The footage looked pretty cool. It seems like a mindless action movie which is exactly what I'd expect from GI Joe. Hell when I heard there was going to be a Joe movie I thought it was going to be horrifically corny and ridiculous looking. After seeing the trailer I thought that it looked F'n amazing but still had a few weird, cheesy things that I didn't like that much. I don't have a say in what goes into the film so I really couldn't care how it looks/what's in it, as long as it has the title GI Joe, I'm seeing it. Plus It looks a million times better than any episode of the cartoon( I know a lot disagree) and I like the fact it looks more up with the times. The only reason it will suck to a lot of fans is cause "It doesn't look like the Joe I grew up with". I say suck it up and deal with it, cause no matter how much you wish you were still a kid living in 80's your not. It's only going to be modernized and changed. Most kids couldn't even care what Joe is about anyway so really any story/plot changes won't matter to them saying that a new generation of fans is the target audience. Plus it's not like a lot of people know the real origin story anyway. The most anyone might know is joe=good Cobra=bad. Anyways how good can a movie based on children's action figures really be?

Haha. You're right though, I'm pretty intolerant . . . of you.
By the way, if you haven't seen it yet, take a look! Trekkies Bash New Star Trek Film As 'Fun, Watchable' | The Onion - America's Finest News Source (pssst . . . if you have trouble figuring it out, you'll probably fall into the camp of those "fans" when the Joe movie comes out) But, since some of you have obviously already seen the movie and have put your sharp wit and flawless critique to good use lambasting it, I'm sure this will fall of deaf ears. So, get back in your DeLorean and please let everyone know how the Deadpool movie is.
