Sorry, this comes from: www.studiobriefing.net
"Leading the pack was Sony's District 9, which earned $37 million -- more than the $30-35 million it reportedly cost to produce. In second place was Paramount's G.I. Joe, down 59 percent from last week's opening to $22.5 million. Although it is on the verge of breaking the $100-million mark, some analysts are expressing doubt about the movie's ability to earn enough to justify its reported $175-million budget." ? |

It's been a few days since I've visited the site. It's good to see that there are still others who view this movie as crap. That's what it is. Say what you want about critics, but they are usually right. If you folks who blast us negative critics don't believe that, then why are you acting like you're authorities on what makes this a good movie? It sucked. You lovers of ROC are doing exactly what you hate the negative critics for. Many of you think we wanted this movie to fail, or that we went into it with negative thoughts and that's why we didn't like it. Not true, at least this wasn't the case for me. So, please, stop it already. This film was so damned predictable and just flat out brain dead. And as far as Scarlett and Ripcord go, that's like having Lois Lane fall for Batman. No matter how many times Superman is reinvented, he and Lois will always be together. Snake Eyes and Scarlett? The same. Of course, she and Duke were pretty chummy in the ARAH cartoon. There's been a larger mutiny against this movie than you think. So many of you folks on the "love it" thread are quick to (after saying how "great" this movie was) point out so many problems and wells, ifs, and maybe's that you should just give it a mediocre rating. At least I have said why I didn't like it, and I've actually said what I did like. It wasn't a total loss, it just wasn't good. Love it if you want, but the box office says others don't. Remember, we grew up, the movie says the the concept of G.I. Joe didn't.

Actually Lois almost did fall for Batman well Bruce Wayne in the Batman/Superman crossover cartoon, but then they ended that when Wayne took off the mask in front of her or she walked in on him.

Just saw District 9, makes ROC look like an even bigger joke.
Seriously, if you haven't yet, go see it, help get those awful memories of kung fu kid flashbacks out of your head. |

Yes. That sucked, messing with the established history. I'm more concerned with the pointing out he's black. He could have just said Ripcord. Pointing out the race of the character in this movie is suspect in my opinion. The only argument worth griping about is that they choose to make Scarlet interested in someone other than SE. Changing Rip's skin tone or making dial-tone a woman isn't that bad. Scarlett should, based on the history like SE. That's it. But pointing out skin is BS whether the post comes from someone who's ignorant or not.

But of all the problems I have with the movie, (the casting, acting, writing, horrible CG, etc) this one point isn't that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things. |

Hate is a bit strong but I really disliked it very much. What a big disappointment it was.

Sorry for posting this all over the board today, but I think it is INSANE that BY FAR the crappiest part of the movie gets 0 mention anywhere.
The 20 minutes of BLATENT STARWARS RIPOFF Big goodguy mothership and little fighter ship attack deathstar (underwater thing), when good guys die they yell "IM HIT" and crash into enemy base, huge cannon on enemy base shoots at good guy mothership, windows in enemy base look EXACTLY like in deathstar, bad guy "snaps out of it" to save l/duke, stormshadow makes darth maul sword, stormshadow falls down lightning shaft, baroness gets in millennium falcon gun turret, good guys escape out an exploding tunnel. In all the griping about the movie, I haven't seen anyone mention they didn't even bother to make their own movie, they put starwars underwater and put snakeeyes in it. Its like they didn't even try to hide they were just stealing it all. Why not just go all the way and make CC dukes father. |
