Here's a list of my favourite films: Where Eagles Dare Forbidden Planet Zulu Get Carter Matter of Life and Death A Cantabury Tale (Micheal Powell) Suspiria Mask of Satan Oh Mr. Porter Carry On Cleo I think you'll find them eclectic enough to say I'm no Hollywood action junkie, yet I thoroughly enjoyed TRANSFORMERS for the escapist fantasy it was. Until proved otherwise, I intend to regard GI JOE in the same way. Contrary to some beliefs, a person's movie choices don't reflect their IQ.

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.
Casual moviegoers don't care what nerds on message boards have to say. The marketing and look presented in trailers and television spots will be the deciding factor for audiences, not rabid fanboys who complain on the internet. |

2. Same producer as Transformers. This will give you an idea of how well the property will be treated.

Alright, I will gladly lay final judgement AFTER the film is released, and my best wishes go out to everyone invlovled WHO TAKE THE FILM SEMI-SRIOUSLY.
But the information I've recieved on the film has left a bad taste in my mouth. While I await the final product, I will say we may have a new Batman & Robin. Here's hoping things go well. |

And still people that don't like the way this movie is going are called "Nerds" and "Fanboys". As I've stated numerous times, these opinions are not just from us RAHers. Here's one non-G.I. Joe site. check these comments. Go to others. The opinion around the net is pretty much the same. Most people who don't even care about G.I. Joe think this is gonna suck
http://www.slashfilm.com/2008/05/15/...oe-might-suck/ Go try AICN, IMDB, or ANY other discussion forum where they talk about movies. There's a thread on how bad the Joe movie is gonna suck on a freakin gun-collector forum. So the very "general public", that it's claimed this movie is going for, that thinks it looks stupid. Every forum says the same thing: Casting sucks, costumes look stupid, Sommers is a bad director, blah, blah. You know, the same stuff that "Only the 'fanboys' are saying". I'm also glad I'm not working on this movie. This could be one of those "Career Killers".

Yeah, sure it could. Try telling that to John Rogers, Michael Ferris, John Brancato, and Theresa Rebeck. |

I still think people who say the cast sux are basing it on Marlon Wayans. I quite like the cast, sure I'm not thrilled about Tatum and Nichols but they look the part and thats good enough for now as all we've seen is pictures...
the rest of the cast is filled with great actors! Jospeh Gordon Levitt, Dennis Quaid, Saïd Taghmaoui, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Chris Eccleston, Sienna Miller, Arnold Vosloo... sure it doesn't have you favorite actors in it, or you're dream castings but it is a good cast regardless in my opinion. To be honest most people will find something wrong with it, probably me too, but thing is people have to stop being selfish about it, just because you love the toyline doesn't mean they are going to make it the way you want. There are a few people I just want to hit in the face when I read they're posts on IMDB but for the most part I try and avoid people talking about it, apart from on here, because we get proper civilized discussion. I mean really, you want Scarlett to look like the first figure? You want Duke to just wear a shirt into battle? Eh get a grip! Changes of course have to be made, some don't but afterall they are making the movie and we're not and we have to live with it, and hope they do great. I will decide whether I like it on the day I see it, for now yeah I'm not so sure about the Power Suits, I like the pictures I've seen so far though, Baroness looks perfect, Destro looks menacing and the Joes look good so for now I'm just gonna sit back and watch the months roll by...
