I agree completely with Cynthia, as I've been saying similar things myself for a while now. Sure, the movie could turn out to be complete garbage, but it could also turn out to be a GREAT action flick. It's way too early to pass judgment on this film.

This is the internets. ITs a vocal MINORITY. No one but fanboys complain because the movie is crushing their supposed childhoods. The rest of the world might just love the movie. Just like Transformers. Just like Lord of the Rings(they had hardcore nerds complaining too). Im sure spider man fans freaked. Batman fans sure did, with each movie (yet only 1 of them failed to be big)
Your best bet is to ignore all these nerd ramblings. |

I agree. I have decided along time ago to wait and judge this movie when it is released. I may have my doubts, but i am not going to let it detour me from watching this movie...

These poor Hollywood bigwigs that are rich as sin who are so crushed by people who post on message boards talking about how bad the movie looks.

Here's the deal.
There is a chance (very slim in my mind) that this movie can be okay. And a shot in hell that it'll actually be good. For those that think I'm being harsh.... 1. Stephen Sommers is directing. Check out his filmography. Now tell me this movie has a chance of being good. 2. Same producer as Transformers. This will give you an idea of how well the property will be treated. 3. Producers/crew stating how much they're sticking to the comics, yet so much we hear contradicts these statements. 4. Lack of recognizable looks (even in color department) of characters. Regarding cartoon fans being happy. I doubt there are many cartoon fans that haven't read the Marvel comics. Don't get me wrong, the cartoon reached a much larger audience. However, there aren't diehard cartoon fans that aren't aware of the comic canon. The cartoon basically had no continuity, so there isn't anything there to contradict. I doubt there are any casual cartoon fans that remember anything more than the theme song. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that 25 years of comic book continuity is more ripe than ~3 years of cartoons. So overall, is there a chance this movie will be enjoyable to anyone over 5? Sure. Some adults actually enjoyed Transformers which my mind just can't process. People will enjoy anything. They can convince themselves of anything. Will I see GI Joe? Of course. I just may have to start drinking again to make it through it, though. I do think the movie has one thing going for it. It sounds out of control ambitious. When I saw the list of vehicles and sets mentioned at Toy Fair, I was pretty amazed. It's sheer over the top audacity might win over people. They're going to have to start doing some damage control with a really good trailer, though. There's a lot of harsh words being thrown around about this project. The costume pics, after SE, didn't seem too well received on numerous boards and sites. |

If it sucks or not...I don't think it will be the Joe movie we all want. I think it will be just like the Transformer movie. Fun to watch but not what we deeply wanted. The direction they seem to be going with this film is more like GI Joe Stigma than the original. Personally I'm not a fan of any Joe storyline that is not from the 80's.

even after it comes out the suck/doesn't suck argument will be in full force for years to come. I, for one, am just seriously looking forward to seeing what Hollywood can do with it.

Even the Trucial Abysmia plotline from the early '90s?
