So I joined. If I want to ever leave, do I have to be beaten out, like the time I left the Crips?

no no, not at all...if you for some insane reson decide you like the movie, all you have to do is proclaim "i have lost my mind and i'm out"...that simple...
...no bloodshed

I'm not going to say I'm a h8er just yet. Haven't seen the final product yet. But I can say with 100% conviction that I wish it had went another direction.

me too SE...and i'm not really a hater either, but the name implies that in one way or another, this is not what "you" were hoping for for the past 20 or so years

Delta that brings back painful memories. I'm not kidding.
Personally I'm tired of being labeled a "Hater" for actually having a spine and not falling all over myself with whatever Hasbro gives us. "Hasbro says it's great!" "But it's a pile of dog shit" "But it's G.I. Joe branded Dog Shit!" "Oh ok then I'll take 4 of each color please"

Its not even about hating it..so much as hating how FUCKING LAZY they were. Rather than put the time and effort into making this a great representation of what GI JOE AREAL FUCKING AMERICAN HERO was they turn into Gi Joke..the movie for politcal correctness. I mean how hard would it have been to just do some more modern era war, like desert storm or something for some backstory, cast ACCURATELY ie no korean as a japanese dude, no black guy as awhite irish guy etc etc. I aint racist or nothin but i mean really hasbro/paramount...doc, stalker, hardball, colonel courage (need sa new name) the slew of BLACK joes you had to make marlon wayans (why not shawn wayans at least he dont look like a skinny crackhead and could be a military solider) charcater someone who was a white dude with red hair? and the costumes...dear god in heaven.

God, that movie will suck. More on the basis of a film. Who couldn't expect that Doom or Hitman would suck? There's no talent in the film that really amazes me as an anchor who could salvage it based on their participation alone, and I've got a good buddy who is a huge film "buff" who could give a damn about GI Joe, and he called that it will be terrible based on the cast and director alone. I'll be highly surprised if the movie's not just some terrible action flick.
And I'm not even on the bandwagon based on the designs, and I could give a damn about the movie toys, I never like movie toys. The only ones I've bought are Spiderman, Doc Ock, Iron Man, and the Target Hulk (Marvel series 1 with new head)... Movie toys almost always suck... The director alone will guarantee it sucks. There, I said it.

By the way, I hated the TF film, still hate the designs, and I think the plot was completely devoid of anything logical. Was it a decent popcorn action flick? I can't lie, I'll always love some overblown ridiculous action sequence because I am a whore for eye candy, but the TF movie designs suck except for Prime, and he STILL looks weird. How they can take Superman, Spider-Man and 99% of the Marvel movie properties and keep true to designs created 30 years or longer (X-Men being about the farthest departure from costume designs, but the characters were still pretty spot-on), while Transformers and GI Joe look nothing like their original versions, save for the most iconic characters (Prime, Snake Eyes, and Storm Shadow).
Do I expect the Joe movie to have parts that resemble GI Joe? Yes, of course. It's the source material. I just think they went the exact opposite way that they should have gone.

I just think it all looks un-cool. I just wanted it to look cool, and it dosen't.
It seems like when you throw around a word like art here, it get's taken out of context, and you are viewed as being a snob, or an uber intellectual, but I view films as art. Even films a lot of people see as being void of "real" art. Films like re-animator, Evil Dead, and even First Blood I see as having some artistic merit. I don't really think, I'm that hard to please. I just want something cool to look at, and from the looks of things G.I.Joe does not look cool.
