They won't. This is big time movie that is written to appeal to the masses. The opinions of a few hundred rabid Joe fans don't mean anything to the Hollywood people. I'm not saying that you have to like everything in the movie; I'm just saying that Joe fans have very little power when it comes to this movie.

no i agree. this is a movie to sell cheap wares and not actually make it accurate as was transformers. I did enjoy transformers to a point but thats that. I will hopefully enjoy this to a point and take it for what its worth but i will still have problems with certain things and i think that goes without saying for any die hard fan who hates to see old properties butchered just to make a quick buck without regards to authenticity or correctness of said property. That being said at least snake eyes looks normal and hopefully we'll see him carve people up with that sword not just deflect a bullet or something :> yay ninjas!!!

I think it's more than just "a few hundred", and we have more power than you give us credit for. It's a mentality like that why there is lack of unity in the United Sates. Know your enemy.

Oh, please. In terms of a Hollywood movie audience, the people who care enough about G.I. Joe to collect toys, and certainly enough to get online and discuss it with other fans, are a drop in the bucket. Internet complaints will have zero effect on this movie.

yeah compulsive is right. The squeaky wheel doesn't always get the oil, sometimes it just gets replaced.
There are a lot of other movie goers out there to replace us. |

Not to mention that principal photography has already begun (heck, it might even be finished by now).
What's in is in. |

There are probably hundreds of people who sat on boards like this and protested how Peter Jackson "butchered" the Lord of the Rings.

The movie is not going to be subject to the whims of nerd anger, nor should it be.

that's the problem, it can't be inaccurate, so what accuracy are you claiming it isn't following? the movie isn't remaking the comic, cartoon or even the toys from the 80's. it is it's own, new story based on concepts that may have originated in those other forms but have evolved over 25 years and are capable of new interpretations. |
