I'm in. I gave the movie a B+/A-. The first exploding Viper head had me covering my daughter's eyes, but it needed to be done that way. The made up for a crappy Transformers movie run!

I will admit it. I enjoyed the movie. I was one of those who talked a lot of trash about the movie but I actually enjoyed it. I am awaiting the inevitable sequel.

I was never a Hater, but I just got back from the movie and I was left feeling more disappointed than I thought I would. I thought it would be pretty decent for what it is meant to be, but I was left with a bitter taste in my mouth. I am hoping for the sequel already, just so they can fix it. It could have just been so much better with a few changes. I just feel like the Director or the writers just really don't have a feel for the franchise. I found myself not really hating the things that were different. For example I found Ripcord to be one of the better characters, as with Cobra Commander and the Neo-Vipers.
Things I didn't like. Hawk (Bad lines? terrible Dialouge?) Baroness and Duke's Relationship (Terrible hated it, although it wasn't so bad in the context of the movie) Heavy Duty (I did not like him at all. Don't know why. Not because we didn't get Roadblock, maybe the British accent? He was alright in the movie but I didn't like him) Duke was okay but not tough enough to me. Storm Shadow dying. Action was great! Cobra Commander was pretty cool. Destro's Transformation was cool. I was digging the Nano-tech. The accelerator suits were a bit much but the action was really cool. Snake-Eyes was awesome thank god. |

Storm Shadow isn't dead. Remember, most of the mercs were pumped full of the nanomites. Baroness, Zartan, Destroy. Those things heal at a super rate. Added to that the ice water....dude, he's alive. Even the implication of murder is in question when Zartan taunts SH about killing women. Lots left open for a good reason.

Yep, thats one thing i disliked, but it wasnt a full on romance. Snake and Scarlett should always be together.

I thought ROC was the perfect live adaptation of the cartoon. I eagerly anticipate sequel to see what happens next!

I liked everything but the hokey-"we've captured destro and cobra commander and are going to seal them in metal tubes bit"
I really liked the non stop pace of the movie, and the Cobra/MARS gunship kicked A$$!!!

I'm glad that (most of) my fears were unfounded. I had positive feelings about the movie's progress when info started to come to light. In the last month or so, though, the trailers started making me a bit skeptical. Still, I was determined to keep an open mind.
And I'm glad I did. This may tick some people off, but I felt that the movie was a superior take on the comicbook than the 1980s cartoon was. While the changes made were pretty drastic in spots, few of them grated on me the way the cartoon's changes did. I enjoyed the vast mojority of the movie. It may not have been "my" GI Joe, but it was indeed still GI Joe. It just felt like a different take, much like Resolute. My favorite things about the movie: 1) Until the last portion of the film, I really, really enjoyed the Baroness. Sienna Miller nailed it 100%. 2) When Breaker took the gum, I marked out. Nobody but my girlfriend and I seemed to get it, but it was a great nod to the comics. 3) The Snake-Eyes and Storm Shadow showdowns were tremendous. 4) The cameo of Jinx (or at least I think that's who it was) made me smile. 5) Despite the accellerator suits, the Paris chase scene was perfectly paced and genuinely exciting. 6) The mask Cobra Commander wore at the end wasn't good by any means, but it wasn't as bad as the still picture online made it seem. 7) Cobra Commander's voice was perfect! It clearly had a nugget of Chris latta but without making it sound too cartoony. 8) The bad guys were very competent like in the comics. I was afraid, they'd make them buffoonish like in the old cartoon. I only had a real beef with three things in the movie: 1) The fact that the Baroness was actually being a good person underneath and was only evil because she was mind controlled. Blech! 2) The code of silence thing. 3) Zartan's looked so boring. He was always so visually cool in the comics.

Just got through seeing the movie and I have to say that it was pretty good. Lots of action, but like some of the others said, some things weren't that great. I really couldn't stand Zartan's whistling at all! What was that about? The Duke/Baroness story, whatever, and the Ripcord/Scarlett thing, please! Most of the other stuff was alright in my book. Dr. Mindbender was that guy in the Mummy movie, his name was (Benny) I think, that was funny to me. Anyway I will give it a A-/B+.

Get new director
Get new CGI company Make Channing Tatum go through extensive acting training, or get new director that would help him out Make Ripcord a bit more serious Stuff they need to fix. But overall it was an okay film and I liked it. |
