My nephews are coming over this evening and we will be seeing the movie tomorrow. I think the movie will turn out to be a great popcorn flick. I am excited.

I'm new here but been a Joe fan since 1984 when Hasbro debuted it and I got to say I liked it a lot. And that's saying a lot since, I've been heckling this movie for months now (Storm Shadow with Rockport style sneakers, really? What does he have, diabetes? Porkchop Sandwiches!) I went out after the midnight show with some friends who also enjoyed it to the local 24 hour Wal-Mart and bought 10 movie figures. I guess the movie magic did it's thing. I have to say, SPOILERS-----
I want the Joe sub as a toy with the Sharcs being able to launch from it. I friggin loved that and the appearance of the Flagg which looked like it came right out of Warren Ellis' Resolute. Damn cool! The Paris scene was AWESOME! Still, the dialogue was dopey and the character development was absent. Hopefully if it makes enough money, we'll get a sequel that hits every note right and I can say I LOVED it instead of liked it a lot. I give it 3/5. |

I don't even own any 80's joes. most of my toys are ROC. thanks for the diagnosis though. see this is what i don't understand about some of you. you assume too much. I went to this film to enjoy it. the very first thing i said about this film (months ago) is that I understood why people were disappointed with what they were seeing in the previews but that I was willing to give this incarnation a chance. I am NOT judging it based on any previous version of GI JOE... hence... why I didn't bring ARAH or Resolute up in any fashion. My review was void of comparisons to GI JOE 'as we know it.' But you can't see that... did you comment on my review just to trash it??? I made no comparisons to any other version of GI JOE. I said nothing about Ripcord being black, I said nothing about Snake Eye's mouth, I said nothing about the vehicles. Those of you who defend this film as 'fun' but can't let others not find it fun. I thought Independence Day was fun. I thought Bye Bye Monkey was fun. I thought Serenity was fun. I thought Dogville was fun. I thought Transformers was fun. I thought F For Fake was fun. So you tell me how many of those films you recognize. And then tell me I went to go see a movie with only hatred in mind. I'm a 'well-viewed' cinephile. Sometimes I'm after art, sometimes I'm after something new and different, sometimes I'm after fun. I meant what I wrote. But not for any reason you implied.

More like Cylon Silver...
Gyre-viper I am confused please clarify this: Destro's face is taken out by a flame... just a flame... if you're goin for blockbuster epic... if you want me to care about Destro's face... accident with power tools is never the way to go. Then having him weeping in the escape 'sub' about now being part of the 'clan' as it were... and then going 'what have you done to me'.... bi-polar much? you've either embraced the legacy or you haven't. Itz not like he was betrayed really... I mean Rexy DID save his face... kinda. But why did Rexy have that ready for him...... itz not like he coulda known that this was going to happen... and it was a pretty tiny purse CC was carryin around. Convenient to have the whole 'chrome dome in a can' just lyin around. Why does Destro get CC's crome dome? and Why is destro the burnt up weenie? I thought the doctor/cc was the burnt up weenie? Sorry If I am misundertsandings.... his face burned into a mask in the beginning... and then CC gets burned in an explosion... and then gas leak + flame + convenient torches in every underwater base scene = Destro getz flamed. itz like... COME ON.

I dont care what anyone says.. GI JOE RISE OF COBRA KICKED SUM GRADE A ASS.. BEST MOVIE OF THE YEAR.. I would advise everyone to go see it.. There was non stop action.. lots of explosions---- Loud explosions----- anyways i know there are going to be a couple people out there that dont like this movie but please dont just take there word for it.. Go see the movie for yourself I promise you wont be disapointed. Sienna Miller was sexy as all hell..
Rachel Nicholes was hot like Scarlet should be. Jinx was hot. Snake Eyes and Stormy have the best fight scenes out of any movie out there.. I will tell ya this much it brought tears to my eyes seeing my childhood heros come to life.. And this is only the begining. Oh and PS the story rocked.... All I have to say is thank you Steve Sommers.. Thank you for this awesome movie that you gave us.. |
