*SPOILER ALERT*
I posted this thread for the people who liked the movie for what it is! There's so many negative threads about this movie I thought I'd focus on the positives, like the fact that they even made a Joe movie! I like how they mixed it all up! This was good summer popcorn action movie for all ages! A lot of people out there (including this web site) are so quick to criticize the casting, the script, etc. I'd admit I was a little skeptical with the casting but I think it does the franchise good, keeps fans guessing! I think having a mainly younger cast broadens the general audience and keeps the franchise fresh. I also thought there was a good mixture of action, comedy, romance, and suspense. The Duke/Baroness/Destro love triangle was a nice twist. The Doctor Rex/Cobra Commander transformation was wicked. Even the Ripcord/Scarlett thing was quite shocking, yet appealing. Lots of people are bashing this movie based of the Scarlett/Ripcord relationship. I think the "real" issue is that Ripcord is black and Scarlett is like this smoking hot redhaired white chick! If Rip was white or hispanic it would've never been brought up! On another note, the action was good and well paced throughout the length of the movie! I like how they didn't focus on Snake Eyes too much (like X-Men did with Wolverine)! All the joes had good scene time (with the exception of Cover Girl)! It wasn't all about one joe single handedly eliminating cobra. Duke, Ripcord, and Snake Eyes each shared heroic battle scenes in the finale! I personally liked the movie very much but people are entitled to their own opinion! It just seems like a lot people, in particular joe fans, are complaining about the differences between the movie and the original RAH storyline. Too busy trying to point out meaningless things instead of enjoying and appreciating a high quality adaptation of a classic comic/cartoon series. We joe fans should be grateful to have this movie. Feel free to join the GI Joe Supporters Group I just started!! Last edited by Sweetstick99; 08-12-2009 at 05:46 AM.. |

Overall I definately liked it, there were things I'd fix but still, it was fun
Ripcord humor was 90% great The Doctor was awesomely creepy and I loved that he had a plan to use Destro as a pawn to create Cobra |

I liked it. Like Shogi, there's stuff I'd fix.
I ended up liking Ripcord. The Doctor kicked ass, was freaky and scary and makes a good psychopath.

I dug the movie for sure. I don't love it, but I enjoyed it. There are some things that I think need to be worked on, yes.
It's not my old GI Joe, but I think it'll do what Hasbro and Paramount want: make money and bring in a new generation of young toy-buying customers. I would definitely like to see it again at some point (probably DVD). |

I loved it. I would change stuff, sure, but overall it was the most fun i've had at the movies this summer.
I went in thinking that i'd come home and kill off Ripcord in my little toy story I've got going on with the RoC figs, LOL. But he was one of my favs. I loved how they made him the "heart" of the team. |
