I took it as a joke but responded the opposite. I know why people liked it... not saying they're dumb or anything (that's what the raped tankers say)... i just had a problem with it technically and plot wise. i think i'm embittered by most film these days... I think that in a world of adaptations (wolverine, watchmen, etc.) I expect something as easy as guns, ammo, tanks, and camo to be the easiest to enjoy... but I just wasn't feeling it... AT ALL with GI JOE.

Just got back from a 12:01 showing and yes I indeed liked it. Action from beginning to end and snake eyes and storm shadow were sick as hell in their fighting scenes.

I know but I still had to explain myself to some degree.

AT ALL with GI JOE. And the raped tankers thing was uncalled for. sorry. And I totally agree. I did feel it for Joe though. its a shame you didnt. Im sure your just as big a fan as i, and i can only imagine how bad it would suck to be let down by the film adaptation to something your attached to throughout your entire life. (that make sense? Im tired. haha) Maybe You'll have better luck with the sequal. by the way your review gave me a damn good laugh. |

I have to say I liked it. It wasn't as great as the cartoons but still pretty good in my book. Out of 1-10, I give it a 9. But why did they have to kill of Cover Girl? She was in it for less then 2 mins. Cant wait to see GI Joe2! AND WTF?, NO PSA at the end????? Very sad about that. It may have changed that 9 into a 9.5! Lets make sure GIJ2 gets it!!! Thanks all~ YO JOE!

There's no way I can see this before August 22nd. I hope it's still playing in theaters by then.

I am not the ideal 'raped' tanker because I don't worship ARAH or Resolute... I like what I like and dislike what I dislike.
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. The answer to me is "no." I do not believe that you were being nit pickly or overly down on this film. In fact, a critical analysis of a film is to be applauded. And on a final point, to those that claim that GI Joe is not geared towards the Oscar audience I say this: There are a lot of quality films that are not intended to be serious oscar contenders, yet they are still well executed films that succeed in their intent. GI Joe was lacking a lot focus and as cited above suffers from poor direction, editing and weak script in upon itself. |
