So what does all that have to do with proving this movie is all it is cracked up to be? It is not based on the cartoon, or the comics or the toyline. It only follows what Sommers wished it to be, James Bond as he said the underwater scene was heavily influcned by the james bond movies he watched as kid. WTF that has to do with GI JOE is beyond my undertsanding except maybe he wishes to be the next James Bond director...
And on that note in my eyes this movie will S to the U to the C to the K.... nuff said.

I think what most people are missing is that we were TOLD by HASBRO that it would be based on the 80's line and MARVEL comics lore.
The reaction is that what we expected was not delivered, hence backlash. The other part of the backlash is they changed way too much for no reason. You think by changing BREAKER's nationality will bring bigger box office sales? c'mon now....let's be real. |

Yeah and where is all the cool music to go along with it. This new Linkin Park song I am digging alot.. New Divide or whatever it's called and I rarely ever like what linkin park does, its actually really firing me up to see transformers 2. Dunno why they can't do that with GI JOE, they are like giving us nothing to be excitied about except to stoop to thier level and accept the crap they are dishing out! uughh

I still stand by the fact that all the changes aside, it just looks really freaking dumb. Just plain flat out DUMB. and Stephen Sommers is absolutely a craptastically bad director who directs DUMB movies. There is a level of bad that is entertaining, I.E. so bad its good or so bad its funny or even so bad you gotta see this to believe how bad it is.
then there is DUMB.

That's why I don't like directors/producers who can't make a film that was from an actual show or comic. Cause they gotta screw it up. I want it either close to comic or cartoon version.

I disagree completely. The cartoon ran for a few years and was continually modified. The comic on the other hand not only ran for years, but was eventually used as the basis for the continuity in not only the second comic introduction by image, but also the file cards for all the Joes released since the new sculpts.
but the fact is, the comics didn't get new readers every month or year in that quantity, so the length of the duration of the comic becomes irrelevant to what the majority of people who remember G.I. Joe as because it was minuscule as a whole compared to the audience for the cartoon. Last edited by gunslingercbr; 06-24-2009 at 07:46 PM.. |

[QUOTE=gunslingercbr;819194]would Breaker being white draw bigger box office numbers? perhaps they did it it simply because they felt it made the group of characters that play a major role in the movie more interesting to be diverse. Breaker's ethnicity in no way makes this movie better or worse.
[QUOTE] I gotta disagree,...not so much on the ethnicity of break (which ya bothers me but whatever) but more to the fact that said tagmhoui or however is name is spelled...is a crap tastic actor. He sucked in vanatage point, he sucked in Lost and he'll suck in this.
