"OUR Dark Knight" meaning when the first BATMAN came out, it was cheesy and unaccurate...just some mash-up of nonsense. Was it entertaining? yes. Then came the new movies (Begins and Dark Knight) and they are superior and pretty spot-on for what they should be. Maybe in a few years someone will make a perfect JOE live-action movie, because we all know this one isn't it. got me now Immortal_Jokster? Last edited by QBERT; 07-25-2009 at 11:46 PM.. |

Hey all in all I'm happy cause I got Resolute for free and finally got to see G.I. Joe done right. Trust me it's like I said I want to be wrong about this I really do.

Anything that ever diverts even remotely from the original incarnation will be viewed as "no good" and followed up by X amount of posts reminding God & Country why it's a bad movie....even though no one has seen it yet. We've seen a total of (11) 30 second trailers, for a total of 3:30. Add 4:30 from that clip (even though scenes from that are in the aforementioned spots)...that gives us a whopping 8 minutes of footage out of 118. I'm all for hearing a good argument, but hearing the same points repeatedly isn't helping the "hater" cause. 1. The movie is bad - Yet again, no one has seen it. 2. The movie doesn't honor the original story - Yes, it does. It's not trying to be ARAH, it's trying to be RoC. 3. It's going to suck - opinion. Everyones entitled to one. Try not to use #1 & #2 as reasons...expand on why it's going to suck. Is it because of the acting? The CGI? The sense of entitlement some have towards a vision of something upheld by their imagination? To say "we all know"....is false. To say "only real/true fans" hate the movie....is also false. 13 days until we can put this debate to rest, officially. |

It sounds like your perfect G.I.Joe Movie was already made...in the 80s.

I can't wait, the constant bickering back and forth got old months ago and quite honestly has taken a lot of the fun out of this site for me. Anyway...
The French clip was really cool and I was pleasantly surprised to see Scarlett blast that guy in the head, very cool. It was also cool to see Snake Eyes trying his ass off to shoot the driver through the roof but the armor was too thick, great stuff can't wait to see it. |

"Delta 6 Armor is unrealistic!" - Not really. Check this out. "Ripcord is" - Ripcord is who he is. He's a red head white guy in ARAH, he's a brown haired black guy in RoC. Whoop. That and $2.50 will getcha a cup of coffee. "Cobra Commander" - Yes, I hear the "haters" on this. CC's backstory is/was perfect and didn't need to be tampered with. At the end of the day though...this isn't ARAH. I get that. Which is why I personally won't knock it 'til I try it. |

Nice find with that video C.I.A.D, we are definitely looking at the future of warfare with that.

...speak for yourself ;)
and for the record, I don't have a problem at all with the power suits, never did. I only refer to it as "power rangers" because it is so close to what those Bandai toys are. I don't have a problem with it being modernized. I don't have a problem with the type of conflict or technology or CGI. I don't have a problem with the action, crazy car scenes, or far-out scenarios. But, i'm sure without saying it, everyone knows why I hate this movie and everything surrounding it. Last edited by QBERT; 07-26-2009 at 12:32 AM.. |
