It sounds like your perfect G.I.Joe Movie was already made...in the 80s.
Anything that ever diverts even remotely from the original incarnation will be viewed as "no good" and followed up by X amount of posts reminding God & Country why it's a bad movie....even though no one has seen it yet. We've seen a total of (11) 30 second trailers, for a total of 3:30. Add 4:30 from that clip (even though scenes from that are in the aforementioned spots)...that gives us a whopping 8 minutes of footage out of 118. I'm all for hearing a good argument, but hearing the same points repeatedly isn't helping the "hater" cause. 1. The movie is bad - Yet again, no one has seen it. 2. The movie doesn't honor the original story - Yes, it does. It's not trying to be ARAH, it's trying to be RoC. 3. It's going to suck - opinion. Everyones entitled to one. Try not to use #1 & #2 as reasons...expand on why it's going to suck. Is it because of the acting? The CGI? The sense of entitlement some have towards a vision of something upheld by their imagination? To say "we all know"....is false. To say "only real/true fans" hate the movie....is also false. 13 days until we can put this debate to rest, officially. I saw the clip. It was interesting and the Joes were doing things Joes don't do. I didn't know Snake Eyes was a genetically enhance human being. Or that he some where along the lines acquired super powers. I'll see a Joe movie when they make a Joe movie. |

And you've seen the same 8 minutes and come to the conclusion that this movie will be cool.

Theyre just pure adventure, for the sake of it. I hate when people say "it sucks" just because some idiot who is sopossedly a critic, say it. Screw the critics. I keep hearing "oOoOoh, Heath Ledger was the best Joker!", "OoOoh DK is so good that i got all wet!". Please. DK is BORING. Batman in an idiotic a$$hole, who can't get a clue even if catwoman had it stuck in the cleavage. The Joker is just another psycho, as we've seen in a million other movies. And yes, yes! another hero in black leather suit. Pft. I wonder if someone read Burroughs novel. he's considered a master and what not. Well, their novels are pure adventure and action, nothing else. Pretty much like the mummy movie. What for you can be a crap, for others can be entertaining. Wasn't he always like that?

you know what. I'm gonna say something never before heard on the internet. To all the "haters", I respect your opinion but I must dis agree. however you are in now way obligated to change your opinion based on that. you are free to think whatever you may. I hope that one day you give this film a chance but since that does't seem likley I'll just say have a good day. I hope the joe film you want is made one day. I'll be there to enjoy it with you.
sincerely, Sunbow_Joe84

Story of G.I. Joe (1945)
If you watch the history of GI Joe you will see that THIS is where GI Joe started. Not trying to bash you or anything but the truth is ROC IS a GI Joe movie just as the story of GI Joe was, just as the ARAH movie was. Your statement would be more accurate if you had said "I'll see a Joe movie when they make the one I want to see". Then you wouldn't be bashing, starting crap, pre-judging or anything else of the sort. |

I don't know if it will get better or worse after the movie comes out, but this is not an attempt to argue with your statement, because I hope your right. I am so sick of this tired old debate. It seems like the only threads that I find enjoyable anymore are the ones in general discussion. The threads that have nothing to do with anyone's beloved childhood fantasies or expectations.
