We also saw a computer generating scene which acted as a story board for the eventual filming. There was a scene where the baroness comes home to France and we got to see the mansion, another scene where a member of GI Joe is captured by COBRA, Chris Eccleston and Arnold Voslo both look on form. Finally we saw a scene which involves a MASSIVE car chase and the eventually toppling of the Eiffel Tower. The film itself look like typical Steven Sommers schtik, massively enjoyable, Sienna Miller looks amazing but I do not think it will fare well with critics, action is very stylised from the scenes I saw, the character development is terrible, Marlon Wayans in particular looked bad!!"

you don't have to look like the original 13 to be a G.I. Joe figure, you just have to have the name G.I. Joe on it. sorry, but that's true. spacemonkeymafia: Quote:

Which by the way it doesnt look like GI Joe.....Metal Force Looked more like GI Joe....... Derek2783: Pretty sure that was sarcasm, cbr... delta: Quote:

That's kinda the last hope I have for the GI.Joe movie is that it will be loveable crap. Not just crapy crap
Two examples
Death Race 2000 YouTube - Death Race 2000 Trailer
Lovable Crap
Death Race (2008) YouTube - Death Race (2008) Trailer
Crapy crap Shin-Gouki: Quote:

Maybe thats what will happen with this movie  | Probably not, that Fantastic Four film (which I actually think is better in some respects then the more recent ones) was never actually meant to be released, the director admited it AFAIK... they had to produce a product to fullfill their contractual agreement and keep the rights, but didn't feel they could pull it off properly so they slapped together a low budget film, and put out the promotional material for it so they could show Marvel that they were keeping their end of the bargin... then iced it.

His films are so bad that for some reason people love them, I dont get it either.
Very much like Lloyd Kaufman. spacemonkeymafia: Yeah you go into a Corman film and know what your getting.... Monkeywrench: Quote:

Pure garbage. I'm just kind of baffled. | Well it's like this. An old crappy 1960's Cadillac with a dented fender, and black smoke blowing out the back has charm in My eyes.
A Dodge Stratus from 1998 with the same problems needs to be hauled away to the graveyard where it belongs.
Seeing a Roger Corman film now, is like seeing an old man riding the Subway, and still wearing his Horn rimed glasses from the 1950's. I think it's kinda cool IMO.
The GI.Joe movie is like seeing My dad wearing a pair of oakleys, and still trying to look hip.
I hope I'm wrong about My predictions about the GI.Joe movie, but I really don't think I am. I'd love to stick My foot in My mouth after it comes out. I'd really like nothing more than to see this Movie be as great as I think it had the potential to be.
P.S. ROCKY: Loyd Koffman kicks ass!! fierce krypton: Marlon Wayans is one thing but I read on imdb that Brendan Fraser is gung ho!!!! He is the goofiest lamest actors and they picked him for the beastliest dude ever??? really!!! i swear hes in every movie Stephen Sommers directs its like they are gay or something!! insane!
maybe its terrible character development because rip cord is not black.... Just a thought.... delta: Quote:

Any way I'm pretty sure the writer of that article dosen't know much about GI.Joe. He was basing his judgment on his preformance not the color of His skin.
AKA Ripcord sux cus' He's Marlon Wayans. Not cus' he's African American. Deckard: Just cause they slap the name GI Joe on this movie and give some characters some familiar names does not a joe movie make. Sigma Sux had the Gi joe name on it and i'll never consider it GI Joe ever. Like the old saying goes" Polish a turd its still a turd." khomel: Quote:

I trust nothing they say, as they have become more self-serving over the years, and less informative to the sense of their readers.
Most of their writers and informers have such bad grammar, writing, and research skills, sometimes I feel embarrassed for them.
"The JOE movie will be a popcorn fun movie. No more, no less."
That's what all should truly be writing about this film in this stage of the game. copywrite: Quote:

The levels of critique astound me.... Overall some good words said about the film, but of course detracters leap on the one bad. No wonder I walked from here. butter_the_pure: Thank you for the info about the movie. Quote:
Originally Posted by Imperial_Serpentor Fantastic Four film was never actually meant to be released | Yeah, Stan Lee said it was actually cheaper to make the fake film than to re secure the rights. Everyone on set was led to believe that they were making a real movie. It's kind of sad, you know? TheLongestDay: Quote:

You've still got me on your side! aussietrooper20: I think this movie will be canceled at the end, and later a proper version will be made, cause this director doesnt like the way the comic version is. He hates it. Cobra-Viper: Quote:

Plus any chance for AICN to take shot at Wayans after Dungeons and Dragons, plus he is subject to blind hatred...
Anyway, I'm sure other people saw this too, so we should get more opinions right?
Oh and he saw Zartan!!! TheLongestDay: Quote:

Doesn't sound too promising... ooten: Yeah this movie is going to suck. How can it be good if Ripcord is black, and Gung Ho isnt a huge muscle bound guy with a vest on with no shirt underneath and a tatoo on his chest with a cool lil hat like he came straight outta the village people, and why can't they just make storm shadow wear his mask all the time even when he is eating breakfast or taking a dump he should always have a mask on. And cobra commander should come out of the womb with a traditional cobra mask we should never see his face cuz that would just be rediculous that a man would have a face. And we should get Roadblock making cheesey rhymes in every line he has. And who ever heard of a military organization that wore matching uniforms, why can't everyone jus wear what ever they wan't. I want shipwreck to allways wear a saylor suit with blue bell bottoms and his lil hat. And scarlet should always wear her yellow one piece bathing suit over her clothes. Another thing why cant we have Spirit in this movie wearing traditional Indian style garb and have an eagle on his shoulder. Every character should be just like they were in the 80's and stereotyped just like they were in the 80's. Im not done all cobra guns should shoot blue lasers and all joe guns should shoot red lasers no exceptions, and cobras lasers bounce off joes vehilcles and one shot from a joe laser blows up cobra vehichles. Cobra commander should always talk with the hisssssss sound on his words that have the letter "s". Now that would make a really cool movie and everyone would love it, it would amaze critics and fans alike and oscars would be one by the entire cast and it would earn the best picture, best special effects best script, best everything awards. miscreant: Quote:

All i can think of is Team America. wardamnpjm: The new Transformers trailer is making it's debut with the new Star Trek movie.So Joe trailers should not be far behind.Agree with everyone about Wayans. It will be impossible to accept him as Rip-Cord.Hopefully they will just kill him off in the first movie so we don't have to endure anymore of him in the others.As much as I would hate not having RC in the movie,I would rather have none at all than a crappy one.IMO Stone cold would have made an awesome Gung Ho!!!!!

Which by the way it doesnt look like GI Joe.....Metal Force Looked more like GI Joe....... | that was kind of my point. Effects doesn't look like a Joe figure. his head is too big, he has garish colors and cheap accessories, and the head sculpt looks straight out of the Corps line with that awful snarl. yet, he is a Joe simply because he has the G.I. Joe logo on it. it doesn't matter what a figure looks like, or whether people like it and thinks it fits in with other Joe figures released before it, it only matters whether Hasbro has released it as a G.I Joe figure.
the movie not only meets that criteria, but mimics many Joe products before it in that it doesn't resemble anything from 1982-1985. well, it doesn't have to look like 1985 to be G.I. Joe, just look at Star Brigade or Eco Warriors, they are just as much G.I. Joe as the original 13. yes, I am taking it literally because it is a silly statement.
whether something is Joe or not has zero to do with personal preference and is absolute, so the argument "it is not G.I. Joe" is just nonsense. it may not be what you like about G.I. Joe, but it is still G.I. Joe. reasonable people don't have to fool themselves into thinking otherwise just to self-soothe, they just accept that it sucks instead of "pretending" it isn't real. that would be like my saying since I hate the New England Patriots that they never won a Super Bowl and the Jets are the dynasty of the last decade because it makes me feel better to believe that. that's delusional. spacemonkeymafia: Quote:

I hate his movies....sorry...just a personal choice....
Can you just accept the fact that some of us thinks its going to suck?
Can you accept the fact that the ones of us who think it will suck...hope deep down inside it will rock?
I mean its really ok that some of us Dont like Sommers...and dont like the cast and dont like the direction the movie is going........Just because they slap the Word GI JOE on a movie title doesnt mean I have to bow down and like it.....Just because they say its GI Joe doesnt make it true.........SGT Savage will never be part of GI Joe, but omg it shares the name......... delta: Quote:
