*SPOILER ALERT*
I posted this thread for the people who liked the movie for what it is! There's so many negative threads about this movie I thought I'd focus on the positives, like the fact that they even made a Joe movie! I like how they mixed it all up! This was good summer popcorn action movie for all ages! A lot of people out there (including this web site) are so quick to criticize the casting, the script, etc. I'd admit I was a little skeptical with the casting but I think it does the franchise good, keeps fans guessing! I think having a mainly younger cast broadens the general audience and keeps the franchise fresh. I also thought there was a good mixture of action, comedy, romance, and suspense. The Duke/Baroness/Destro love triangle was a nice twist. The Doctor Rex/Cobra Commander transformation was wicked. Even the Ripcord/Scarlett thing was quite shocking, yet appealing. Lots of people are bashing this movie based of the Scarlett/Ripcord relationship. I think the "real" issue is that Ripcord is black and Scarlett is like this smoking hot redhaired white chick! If Rip was white or hispanic it would've never been brought up!
On another note, the action was good and well paced throughout the length of the movie! I like how they didn't focus on Snake Eyes too much (like X-Men did with Wolverine)! All the joes had good scene time (with the exception of Cover Girl)! It wasn't all about one joe single handedly eliminating cobra. Duke, Ripcord, and Snake Eyes each shared heroic battle scenes in the finale!
I personally liked the movie very much but people are entitled to their own opinion! It just seems like a lot people, in particular joe fans, are complaining about the differences between the movie and the original RAH storyline. Too busy trying to point out meaningless things instead of enjoying and appreciating a high quality adaptation of a classic comic/cartoon series. We joe fans should be grateful to have this movie.
