I'm not liking what I'm seeing with this trailer. I'm getting the same vibes a lot of the members who criticized it are getting. However, I'll wait and see. I will say this, from the look of the trailer, it is too much hollywood and SFX, and not enough soldiers in the field. That, I think is the essence of GI Joe.

I'm gonna liken what I saw to War of the Worlds. Not enough human story, too much reliance on the SFX, and not close enough to the source material. I'll go see it though. If nothing else, I'll treat it like "shoot em up" and view it as mindless entertainment.

Liar!! Heretic! Blasphemor!! May you burn in Cobra LaLaLaLaLaLaaaaaaaa......

;)

Just bustin your gajones!

Good man, a nay sayer who will take it for what its probably meant to be, and go see it.

One question though Ender : Did you like transformers?
I'm curious because you have an open mind to this even though you think it will look nothing like G.I.Joe. - Seeing as Transformers did so well even though it was completely different from its cartoon counterpart.
(and FYI I loved transformers - it keept the "feel" of the original show quite well, for a modern time)

Yes, I liked Transformers, but I never liked the cartoon. I bought the first few comics, but lost interest when I saw the figures were crap. More interested in being able to transform than being articulated.

I'm the same way about the GI Joe Cartoon. I never liked it. Too childish. Loved the comics, though. But I quit collecting when it started the battle in the middle east that paralelled the 1991 Gulf war. good thing I wasn't around to see the ninja stuff....blah!

More to GI Joe than ARAH. lol. LIke the original 12"? Or GI Joe EXTREME? :p

Will you have my babies? :D
lol

Well I agree with you on these points man.

thumbs down..
 

thumbs down for me, i've already given my two cents at Yojoe.
I wont be watchin this at the cinema, i'll wait for it to hit sale on DVD and buy it then. There has been too many bad decisions already with this film for me to not like it.
To actually spend hours out and going to the cinema would be an insult of my time.
:mad:

actually, don't most of us go to the movies for the previews? lol!

que Pablo Fransisco bit ;)

Funny thing is, no matter how bad i want to see a movie, I can't enjoy it if I miss the previews.

I read the artivle in "Toyfair" today and it interviewed some people about the Joe movie... basicly the "power-suits" are only used a couple of times, there will be a contribution to alot of Joes in the scene of the reck-room, ie... Bazzooka's blazer, Mutt's food bowl, and a few others. All around it didn't seem that bad, it seems like they did alot of research to keep the fans happy and to address the whole "modern-era" feel. I am two thumbs and another appendage up for this movie!:D
