Yeah, I think we should just wait to see it, then bash it. And there does seem to be quite a bit of threads just to shit on the movie. GIVE IT A REST!!!

I'm tired of both sides, actually - The haters and the haters who hate on the haters.
It's the internet. People feel the need to bash something just for the sake of bashing it. "It's not my G.I.Joe!!!".....FYI, folks...."Your" G.I.Joe isn't even yours. It belongs to a group of folks that grew up well before your time and were playing with 12" figures. Change isn't always bad. But alas, this kind of hating went on with the Transformers Live Action Movie. People complained, complained some more...and now the same haters are the ones who can't wait for part two to come out. lol. My thoughts on the whole deal? Yes, it's dramatically different than the G.I.Joe I grew up with. Am I skeptical? Sure. I'll reserve judgement until I see it. 30 second clips/"leaked" pictures/etc aren't enough to base my entire outlook on it. In closing, Optimus Prime is a Truck, not a monkey. And Rumble Is Blue/Frenzy is Red & Vice Versa. ~FIN~ |

Nope. They just words. Now, if I was on a sight that was dedicated to cars or horror movies and someone was bashing the movie, then I would see a problem. This sight is for all things G.I.Joe. Where else can you provide the output to disscuss, bitch, complain, or just hate on this movie they keep insisting is G,I,Joe. Plus, I'm not a big computer head, so I spend most of my time doing more productive shit then sitting on my ass reading peoples rants, and when I do, I giggle. Hehe.

I see a lot more movie supporters or people at least discussing it open-mindedly now than when the first promo pics were released. The "haters" seem to be about the same five posters who feel the need to post the same statements over and over again in every post that has anything to do with the movie. You can almost set your watch by it. They'll watch it, but never admit that they liked it. It's much more cool to be a rebel than a sheep.
Me? I went through Venom vs. Valor, so I got all my hate out then. I could care less if Ripcord is black and played by Marlon Wayans. I could care less if Duke has brown hair instead of Hasbro yellow. I could care less where they're from and how they sound. The movie looks like it's going to be fun, and that's what G.I.Joe has always been to me - FUN. I think some of the "haters" forgot how to have fun after they "grew up."

They must have thrown their 'fun' bone out the window. To me they act almost like the Jugglers from the comic series.

I'm honestly glad someone mentioned that fact. People get upset at any changes to GI Joe, yet GI Joe has been reinvented a half-dozen times.

I've learned that the continual "TEH JOE MOVIE SUX" rant is nothing more than repetitive [whining and complaining], intended to drown out constructive dialog about the good and the bad in the movie. After a while it just turns to the "wah wah wah" from Peanuts. For that reason, and knowing that it is exhausting and counterproductive to try to speak logic to people who have already - sight unseen - decided to hate it (just as they did Transformers) regardless, I try to spend as little time as possible in obvious "hater" threads. I can find much more productive things to do with my time.
