I agree with Tom-1 that we should all go see the movie regardless of how good or bad it is. You can bet if the movie does poorly in ticket sales then it will surely have a negative effect on the toys. Personally Iagree with most Tankers that this movie will be a steaming pile, but if its that bad at least we can look at it as a spoof....Marlan Wayans....seriously
I dont know if its true that if the movie bombs the 25th line will stop, but I would have to think if the movie does well we have a better chance of seeing more plastic via 25th style. I personally think the movie toys suck and pass on them. Like everyone else though I wouldnt mind seeing each and every single vinatge wave reintroduced 25th style. If it bombs, and it will. If they take away the 25th line? Well theres always the comic books, vintage figures and comics/cartoons..the Tank, Sideshow toys and any statues, busts and maquettes that may come out. And if they dont!?....Well its been fun! I have to think though, even if they lose money on this movie, which they wont, they wont profit a ton, but they wouldnt lose money. Why would it effect the 25th line? Why wouldnt Hasbro continue with it and introduce more items...the holliday season will be here before you know it!!.....I understand Hasbro is multi million dollar company, but the profit margin for these things must be through the roof!!! You really think someone is going to say "hey the movie bombed and the sales of movie line toys is dwindling, lets get rid of it all together"....No way, unless they have retards there, someone will step up and say..."hey look, the movie failed horribly and we made just enough from the toys to make 1 or 2 more waves, take that profit and invest it in 25th style waves that have proven to sell...do this we can atleast make up for our losses and THEN shut the doors if it has to be done". Sometimes classics are just better left alone..and in a way thats what this is, taking a classic that appealed to a loyal fanbase and making it into something that should be a household name. It loses its respect and over all specialness. The reason that the 25th line did so well in the 1st place and same thing for Resolute? Its because they were both classics very mildly influenced by todays advancement. My Roadblock is ROADBLOCK!!...Not Heavy Duty...my Roadblock figure is my ROADBLOCK figure..he looks and "works" better then my Roadblock as a kid but kept his heart!....THAT is exactly what the movie is NOT doing, and its the reason why we're all fightin' mad!!!

Snackbar is like the retarded kid in Something About Mary when he found his baseball. Who are we to take his earmuffs off???? We should all just make our scoff at the movie and step back and let Warren have his baseball. Deal?

So be it...if we do not buy the ROC garbage or beleive in it and it all fails, then that is just how the cookie crumbles. I would rather it die and preserve what they have had then try to force feed me Star Wars in another retarded story. If it was not for the Hasbro logo and GI JOE name and reference to character names already outdone by Resolute no one would even know what this movie was and still go see it as "mysterious strange sci-fi flick". Just like Doom the movie was, and infact I bet The Rock did a better job at Sarge than this puny whimp will be at Destro or Cobra Commander Slushie 450 ounce cup head will do...
The biggest mistake here if you want to blame anything or anyone was putting Resolute on before the movie... Resolute just set the bar way out of reach for ROC... Take note Sommers and Hasbro Execs....you gave the contract to the wrong PEEPS! Peace suckas Last edited by CrimsonGuard101; 04-27-2009 at 05:23 PM.. |

your response is filled with lots of opinions. i tried to stick as close to facts as possible (such as there will be more movie toys). i don't seem to have problem with these actors that you do. marilyn wayans and dennis quaid are both accomplished actors. just cause they aren't like brad pitt or something doesn't mean they aren't good at their craft.
also i don't remember any humor in resolute? oh and by the way. good luck with 2 seasons of resolute. by the time that happens the only joe still alive will be sneak peak and the only cobra left will be like cyrstal ball. and what's wrong with chase tatum? he also deserves a chance. sorry my vote is still a vote on the facts. movie will be longer, cooler, and better. About the actors, wait, can you consider Marlon Wayans an actor? About humour, who really cares a long as its not over the top. About Resolute, they only had three confirmed major deaths. About your 'facts', the only thing we know is that it will be longer. Sorry but my vote is a vote for freedom, logic, and the love of all things holy. ROC may be good but it will probably blow harder than a constapated whale. |

I love how people think this movie is bastardizing their version of Gi joe.
I can understand how people can be disappointed after seeing resolute and the potential for a live movie to be really great. I can also understand people (and myself included) thinking its going to look like street fighter and really suck! what cracks me up is that there is finally a movie after 27 years and people aren't even going to give it a chance. As I have said before I don't think it will be good but am going to give them the benefit of the doubt, especially after they did a decent 8/10 job with resolute. It would have been higher even if they could have added an extra 30 minutes. But seriously when people talk about the movie ruining their version of Gi joe, well my version of Gi joe, doesn't include Valour vs venom, cobra la, gi joe the movie 1987, gi joe vs cobra toys, and the gi joe DIC series. These incarnations of Gi joe were utter crap, and I am sure everyone who has toys of this era would be more than happy to get rid of them for more 25th toys. It amazes me how some people can buy all the toys for the last 27 years but really hate on a movie that they haven't seen. It is exactly like people bitching about the resolute toys before they even saw them, and now people love them. Or bitching about certain 25th toys or movie toys. Yes the 25th is awesome, but there are a lot of dogs in that line as well, while there are a few gems in the ROC line for those that are interested in it. Its great that people are passionate, and everyone who thinks this movie is probably bad are probably going to be right, but why not wait and see.... Anyway, I like hearing everyones opinion good or bad as there are a lot of great points on here I just there needs to be a little less drama.... |
