He put in his super suit movie and treated it like his chance to do an underwater Bond flick (Sommers admits this) There was no consideration for the source material in the first. At least Chu fought to do the homage to Silent Interlude. My opinion is Paramount was given GIJOE and treated it just like any other studio movie. Make it, throw some names at it, get butts in seats, and Hasbro hopefully sells some figures and vehicles in the process. To the studio it was just a property to exploit. Marvel having a hand in the creation of their movies is what worked. DC relying on Warner, does not work. Those are the mistakes. It all begins with the story. GIJOE was a formula movie. Retaliation was too. It is the sad state of Studio movies.

Well said Skinny. So Paramount killed GI Joe, Disney/Lucasfilm killed Star Wars and they both killed TRU.

Both movies really sucked, in their own ways. Worst was that basically Retaliation was the return of Elliot Carver and Cobra Commander like the absentee landlord, largely in the rear while an old man and a wrestler carried the B movie.
The new Bubblebee movie looks like a standard Bay Transformers, just without him directing(but I sense his shadow influence). Only sorta nice thing it seems Transformers themselves look closer to their Generation 1 style but film looks weak like the past ones, cept now their is a young girl instead of young boy. But them bots and cons classically looking the way they do makes no sense if its a prequel film to Bay's franchise, moreover it looks like the Decepticons will get typically scrapped quickly. Never really understood the obsession with Bubblebee, it seems to stem from Bay's franchise version of the character. |
