I'm a self-proclaimed "hater" of all things related to the movie. I hate the script, the direction of the art, the costumes (exception=Snake-Eyes), the toys we've seen... pretty much dislike it all.
I've taken nothing but crap from many, many 'Tankers here for that stance. As a group, those of us who dislike what we've seen of the movie and it's merch are labeled as "haters" who are "looking for an excuse to hate", and are "ruining the 'Tank with their negativity". But I'd like to venture the idea that this is simply not the case. Most of my posts are quite tongue in cheek, and all in good fun, as are most of the other "haters" posts. It only gets ugly when the rest begin to try and shut us "haters" up, and tell us we're not allowed to hate the movie yet. So I'd like to propose to everyone that we should all be allowed to put our own opinions out there without fear or hate or negativity. If you want to love the movie, be my guest. If I want to hate the movie, let me. But please: let's stop attacking each other for having an opinion, because that's when it really turns ugly and ruins things. Afterall, I only hate on the movie because it's gonna suck!

Personally, I don't like everything I've seen... I admit it. But, I refuse to make a judgement about a movie I have yet to see.
That's my stance. I do not judge books by their cover and I give things a chance before declaring I don't like them. Things I don't like, but have tried on more than one occasion: Tomatos Sushi He-Man Marvel Comics The list can go on... |

Although I agree that we should all get on...and we are all GI JOE fans (whatever that may mean to you personally) and shouldnt let the movie divide us...
I will quote myself and say this again: people can disagree all they want...but i cant for the life of me undestand the mind of a person who goes into a thread just to whine and bitch. If I saw a thread titled "new Paris Hilton pictures" I wouldnt go in as i cant stand that woman and dont have anything nice to say about her-so why ruin the mood for the people who do??

I like the fact that people can say what they want here but I'm pretty sure no one wants to look through a thread trying to follow a conversation while having to get stuck with majority of comments that say THIS MOVIE WILL SUCK!!!!! It kinda gets irritating.

There's a difference between "whining and bitching" and stating an opinion, or poking fun. That's my whole point. Anyone who dislikes anything is automatically labeled as a whiner, bitcher, or simply ordered to shut up, and that's not right. Quote:

Fair enough, I have to agree. Criticism is Ok, but the This MOVIE WILL SUCK said every other post is irritating. There's already threads for that.

Fair enough. Does everyone have to be just like you? What's wrong with anyone saying "I do not like the look of what I see"?
There's a big difference through between the two.Tthe movie is slowly being revealed to us, and we're making judgement calls on the fly as we learn things. We already know everything there is to know about Paris Hilton. We've seen everything. The movie is different. We're still hoping something we see will be gloriously fantastic.

Guys, I'm not trying to be antagonistic here, I just want to come to a place where we can all agree to disagree without demonizing anyone. But I have seen certain people here pop up in almost every single movie related thread just to say "THIS MOVIE SUCKS" now thats just rediculous. I just dont see the point of going into a thread just to bash a movie that no one has seen yet.

I understand, its hard to make a judgement on something we haven't seen, but iis possible to judge on what we have seen and heard about the movie so far. I'm optimistic about the movie, will I see it? absolutely! will i buy it? probably. In the absence of any real footage from hasbro, people can still have opinions about casting, costumes, and the few details we know .
my question is why is someone labelled a hater when they don't like upcoming figures that we have seen. example, the MARS 3 pack. people should be allowed their opinions, good or bad, for or against without being labeled, as long as it is worded with respect |

Nope, I just thought you wanted opinions... That's what freedom of speech is about.

So what do y'all say to person that has a wait and see altitude towards the movie. The movie could suck or it can be the best thing to happen to Gi Joe. No one will really know until it comes out. There was a lot of good and bad opinions about the Transformers movie before it came out and look who that turn out
