First all, the title of the thread is a question, not a statement, second I'm going to see Zero Dark Thirty. I knew that from seeing trailer that this movie was going to pose a problem for me. Not in terms of the quality of the movie, but in terms of what I think I JOE movie should be. I saw dudes with breads, (Clutch, and Rock n Roll.) I saw special ops assets (am I using that term right?) boarding a helicopter, (Wild Bill or Lift Ticket piloting the Tomahawk,) there was even a dude with a dog even though the dog was a German Shepard, (Mutt and Junkyard,) a C.I.A. giving the Seal Team Six a briefing, (that could easily been Chuckles, or maybe even Scarlett,) and of course the biggie a Special Ops team going after a bad guy.
I don't want to come away from seeing Retaliation at the end of next month thinking that it should have been move like Zero Dark Thirty I want to as y'all always say, see it for what it is. That's kinda hard because I see JOE as the kid who gets "C's," but he if just applied himself and worked harder he could easily get "A's." Or maybe I should let Zero Dark Thirty be my JOE movie and just insert "x" JOE here? Let's say you.

Can't be helped if you can't not compare them... like I automatically compare every sci-fi action movie to Aliens and pretty much all fail. I also compare any movie with jets to Top Gun, any baseball movie to Field of Dreams, but at the same time don't compare most movies to anything.
Actually, I usually remember the worst movie of a certain genre and use that one as my standard. LOL. Like Driven with Sylvester Stallone is the single worst racing movie ever made in the history of all mankind... I compare every racing movie to it and every racing movie wins. LOL. |

Somehow, I don't think you'll have that problem!

One is a military-themed fantasy. The other is GI Joe.

Seriously, this is a thread topic? GI Joe is a fantasy of a military team. Always has been, always will be. As much as people hate to admit it ROC was closer to true GI Joe than ZDT. Nanites, world domination, underwater fortress - have we forgotten the unabashed absurdity of the Sunbow cartoon? Even the Marvel series, while trying to be serious is absurd and a cartoon version of the military. ZDT is a true story told through the lens of Hollywood. The raid on UBL's compound is a fraction of the movie. If this was GI Joe, it's be a boring as Joe movie. |

My question is this. Why is everyone complaining about the 2 soon to be 3 Gi Joe movies? I mean when I was a kid I always wanted a Joe movie, we got that Toon movie but I wanted a real Live Action movie and yes the actor/story choices were and will not be to everyones liking but come on people we get Live Action movies of our childhood toys and I think it's awesome. So I don't understand why all the hate/complaining.
