Woot reboot! Yes, all they have to do is look at Persuit of Cobra, Hier a stellar prop production company, hier a new CGI compnay, buy some real military vehicles and re-equip/paint them, put people into a proper costume that matches POC figures, Change the actors for Breaker, Ripcord, Duke and Cobra Commander (since he should be wearing a hood and or metal faceplate who cares who is under it, just get some voice talent for it!), Nix the stupid turtle vipers, get the Elite Vipers more screen time along with some blushirts/grey shirts in acutal stingers now that Hummer is no longer a brand, Fire off Bonieventura as producer and get paramount clamped down by the ballz around what GI JOE is about where they have to make sure Hasbro properly signs off on it as ok and ready for figure production for the next toy line. And please if your going to use Hama as a consultant, pay him well enough so he really cares this time..not just an asshat spin of the ROC vision as "exaclty whats in his comic books"....

The movie wasn't perfect, but far away from being a disaster.
If you think what could have been, i'm pretty happy that they didn't filmed one of these Joe/ActionMan Scripts. Destro and his backstory was told well and Zartan as the disguised president in the end a fine idea. We don't need a Reboot, we only need an re-imaging in style of Incredible Hulk with Edward Norton. Just let the bad guys escape in the beginning and Baroness injure Duke so that he falls in a coma. TF2 made a great reference on Prime's Death in the Cartoon Movie. Joe 2 should do it as well. |

I liked the GI Joe movie. It was by no means perfect, but I thought it was all it needed to be.
It's no good having a bunch of cartoon looking technicolour soldiers buzzing around in HISS tanks to please a relative few collectors. The film was made to be accepted by a wide audience and it was. Like it or not, the film was a financial success. That is why it is getting a sequel, not so that a few toy fan boys can finally get what they want. It’s no good complaining about it. Instead look to the new cartoons and comics they are making. Those will be closer to your childhood imaginings of GI Joe, and they can be, because they are made for a fraction of the cost and for a different target audience (IE: primarily children – like the toys etc in the 80’s). It seems to me that this is what you want, so accept it and let the studio executives do what they will with their money to make more money. The film had to be more mature, more realistic looking and less true to the toy line because movie executives (etc) are in it to make lots of money, not a few friends. A live action “cartoon” version of GI Joe is not what most of the rest of the world want. Be thankful we even got Cobra and not Bin Laden or some nonsense. In short - we don't need a reboot. We're lucky to have gotten anything at all. - Ian |

Why would you need a reboot to do things right? Just ignore the stuff that didn't work for the next one. If CC is wearing a hood in the next movie there is no need to explain why he doesn't have his armor. You can easily tweet snake eyes' outfit and make other minor corrections.
Reboots are only necessary when too much damage has been done or the story has gone to far from the original premise, (See Batman). |
