it wasnt the worst movie Ive seen but it was pretty bad. Of course, just like most on this site, think IM the biggest Joe fan. growing up with the 80's joe, I seen spectacular characters that I cared about, Start from Filecards, then Comics, Then a cartoon. The characters were so good, and the backstorys so well done, that it didnt take a major motion picture to make GIJOE the best thing to come from the 80's besides Billy Idol.
You take this movie and compare it to what we grew up with, and its very shallow, They changed some core mythos just to change it, and took memorable characters that Ive cared about for years, and made them completly forgettable. Also to take out the biggest part of joe "the real AMERICAN hero" part just to sell tickets around the world, and be more "PC" guts the patriotic part out of it. After all, the red white and blue and real american hero part of 80's joe is one of the MAIN reasons my dad bought me so much of it. If my dad thought that there was a frenchmen on the Joe team, He would have bought me matchbox cars or green army men. I just think that kids will grow up and forget about this Joe. not like us, to where our world revolved around it, and were still in love with it. Its just not that memorable. will the second movie change that? mabye, it also has to do with the different age. Im just not sure that any toy can capture a kids imagination the way it did for us back then, with the internet and video games now. This was an attempt by Hasbro to get kids into Joe like the 80's using the best chance media out there, Movies. For us, we could read a filecard or a comic book, and the imagination came from that. The new figs have no filecard description to speak of, and with a movie that made the characters so forgettable, its all about what you see in the movie, and the chunk of plastic in your hand. There seems to be no attempt to capture the imagination with the toyline and movie tie in. No matter how much I didnt like or like the movie, its all about how times have changed for kids. Star Wars WAS and IS the best modern sci fi series, and was made in a way you cared about the characters, and it was fresh and had sweet stuff in it for the time (remember the FIRST time you seen an AT AT?) Star Wars was good enough to sell toys as a movie series. This new GIJOE is not, and I think kids will just forget about it.. |

LOL! Good stuff CTG!
This was a hollywood version of GI Joe. More concessions had to made to get this onto film. Unfortunately, a lot of what we loved about Joe was in the concessions. Since the movie did well at the box office and on dvd, maybe we will get more classic Joe in the sequel. Still, this movie was not good. One minor point I have is with the location of the PIT. It's in the desert. No big deal. However, why is there no sand inside the PIT? Considering the fact that holes open up in the desert floor, wouldn't sand leak in through these massive openings? Were the PIT Commandos just glorified janitor b/c I didn't see any sand in the PIT. Like I said, this is very minor but one of many, many issues I had with this movie.

Sand in your PITT is never a good time.

What bothered me about the pitt was that the water level wasn't the last level. The levels below that are holding up a lot of weight!
