I voted the way I truly feel about the movie. But i am glad the majority of people enjoyed it on some level.

I just placed my "pretty good" vote (and Zefram, I think Excalibur is a good film too, part of my very 1st paycheck went to getting it on VHS).

a good movie is something that will be talked about 10-15 years from now.
Terminator Clash of the Titans Saving private ryan Full metal jacket something about mary caddyshack one flew over the coocoos nest animal house This joe movie will be forgotten by everyone but joe fans very soon. but even our grandparents would know what someone meant if they heard people yelling "Toga Toga TOGA TOGA!!" a good movie has staying power. this new movie DOES NOT. thats my opinion, only time will tell. but if you think that THIS movie will really be remembered 10 years from now, I think you need to see some good movies...

I couldnt have said that any better. I think the movie was horrible. Before I'm judged on that, ROC does not change my view or love for everything G.I. Joe in the past and even many things in the present...current comic books, toys, The Tank and many Tankers.
I have plently of people that I'm very cool with here that liked or loved the movie. It wasnt my cup of tea. I thought the script and the charecters/charecter development was possibly the worst thing I had ever seen in a movie. I thought the movie was just a poor film, the fact that it was a poorly made Joe film just stung a little bit more. Most people had pre-determined feelings months before it actually came out. I went in feeling like it might suck, and left thinking it sucked more that I thought. Thats what the next poll should be...Did seeing RoC change your pre-dispostion on the film. Having said all that...for the 10.00 of a movie ticket, if theres a ROC 2..I will probably sit through it. I didnt like the movie, Im not a "hater".

I know personally, I saw it twice becuz it said G.I.Joe. I bought the movie becuz it said G.I.Joe. My money went on to be part of that almighty gross of DVD and movie sales becuz it said G.I.Joe. If that corny-ass movie had been title: Soliders of the Future, I would of passed. Hasbro NEEDED the nerd money, Hasbro NEEDED the collectors money, Hasbro NEEDED the the fans money. Without it, they would made next to nothing. I highly doubt I'm the only person who went to see it becuz it said G.I.Joe. Did it make money? Was it succssful? Yes to both. Was it enjoyable, good/great? That falls on the ones who watched it. I accept what they gave me cuz I know as a person, I can't steer the decisions of a multi-million dollar company by saying it was crap. My ramblings don't come out the color of money green. I for one just hope they find a better way to film a sequel to this toy property with a bigger nod to its most succssful period in the history of G.I.Joe, The 80's. Minus the corn-ball shit. Some might argue that now is the most successful period time in Joe history due to the movie. I see it different. Comic book/fantasy/toy movies are a trendy thing right now so it only made sense to make em. And seriously, G.I.Joe owes TransFormers its movie life due to its success. Had TransFormers bomb, we would've still be here talking bout our new Low Light we got from the continued successful ME/25th figures, which also sparked the Joe fuse of nostalgia.

Street Fighter, Howard the Duck, Ishtar, Battlefield Earth, Kazaam, Steel......... All horrible films that people recall! Not recalling a film in 10 years does not make it good or bad but makes the person a goof-ball for not being able to recall bad movies from 10 years ago and you my friend are no goof-ball, correct? ;-) |

The every day guy/gal are what determine what is a great movie. NOT fanboys or geeks like us! I would bet you that if you polled the population about what is the BEST movie ever made, there would be only 25-50 movies that come up time after time in that poll. sure some one here and there would say "ROC" or "howard the duck" but its the matter if the movie is memorable..hence, has staying power to be relevent for years.

cmon dude?!?! are you even serious?? if anyone were to talk about the CRAP you mentioned it would be when guys are drinkin thinkin about the WORST shit they ever seen. GOOD movies have staying power, and will be talked about YEARS after they are made. Apocalypse now is STILL talked about as one of the best movies ever. nooone would ever put the junk you mention in a conversation about best movies unless they were joking.

A movie can have staying power based on how bad it is as well...... recalling a film in 10 years is pointless as we are talking about the here and now: Its a wonderful life, Evil Dead and even Psycho had bad reviews and are all very relevant even loved films now. The point is there is no way to know what future lies for ROC......... its a pointless debate. And the world population is at: World 6,802,526,837 21:58 UTC (EST+5) Dec 10, 2009 We would never have enough time to poll everyone! Last edited by Rocky; 12-10-2009 at 06:03 PM.. |

Staying power of RoC isn't worth discussing because that wont' be known until years from now. Let's table that one until the 50th anniversary. Any discussion about it now is pure speculation and opinion. Now, the everyda guy/gal have said that RoC is a good movie by their support via box office receipts and DVD sales. Now that isn't saying anything about actual quality, which is subjective. It's just using a factual barometer which is physical sales. Now personally, I won't spend any money on anything I think is crap regardless of what name is on it. I can't imagine anyone doing that. Now I can seen going to see the movie and not liking it afterwards, spending that money. But DVD sales have to be people that liked the movie enough to spend more money on it (except for the small percentage that are gifts, which probably isn't enough to be a factor).

I get that, but I never said RoC needed to be 100% win to everyone. My pointis that it can be the 70-80% to most people, not just to you, but it wasn't.
Hate it all you want, but Iron Man and Dark Knight are great examples. Some hate? Sure. General consensus that the movies hit the mark? Absolutely. RoC - some hate? More than that. General consensus that it hit the mark? No where close. That's my point. Right, but Rocky's talking about the movie "hitting the mark" in terms of pleasing fans by being what fans wanted to see in a GI Joe movie, not financial success. No one can argue that the juggernaut of marketing that accompanied the movie resulted in a financial failure for Paramount and Hasbro, and I don't think anyone is. Quote:
What frustrates me is that the ROC haters are forever changing their tune:
1) ROC was not a success - They are proven wrong with the DVD, Toy and Theatrical sales. 2) ROC is not liked but the poll on Hisstank and IMDB prove them wrong once again. 3) need a new poll on the TANK - we get two clearly showing people like ROC. To your points: 1. Early on many said it was too soon to tell (when it was, in fact, too soon to tell), but that's hardly arguing RoC was a financial failure. (As a note, personally, I rooted for it to succeed, despite my hate for it) 2. No one is arguing that RoC wasn't liked. Troynos liked it, as did many others. Great. I've said in so many places that it makes sense for the polls to show that it was liked, for a number of reasons. All the polls show is that while some people like the movie, there are a lot of people who hate it too, and in far greater numbers than other comic-based movies considered a success like Iron Man, Dark Knight, etc. Hardly compelling evidence that RoC wasn't a mess of a movie. 3. Again, the polls show RoC thumbs up voters ahead sure - currently a margin of 16, with 128 votes. Only 12.5% more people liked it than didn't? That's hardly a picture that paints RoC in a fantastic light. The polls show is that there's a lot of "like" for the movie, and a lot of hate for the movie, too. Additionally, people hate the movie in larger numbers than they love it. Yes, really.
