thought on the upcoming G.I. Joe movie?
 

im reading some stuff as i write this, as of now im reading some bad things. take this for example, something i found on IGN.com

"The screenwriter and self-proclaimed "Joe fanatic" also told us a tiny bit more about the film's sole new Joe character, Rex, who DiBonaventura said would be a major character. "Rex is just a first name (which actually came from Hasbro)," Gordon advised FilmForce. "Much like Duke is really Conrad, Scarlett is really Shana, etc. Rex will have a Joe handle just like every other character."

Gordon promises fans that "the G.I. Joe movie will ROCK!" and will be "chock full of blistering adventure, heart pounding heroism, high tech weapons and vehicles, and more crazy ninja action than you can handle." Sounds good!"

NO!!! doesn't sound good to me! a new character instead of an old one, i know this is a way for the writers to put their selves in the joe verse. and im already worried about that smurfing snake eyes. still, its a movie about G.I. joe, so ill be first in line on opening day. honestly though, i wish they would do a good CGI movie, like final fantasy spirits within.

lets face it, its gonna be crap.
No matter what they do it'll never do the franchise any justice.
(Mind you, Joe fans are very hard to please.)
But bringing it down to one central character? NNooooo.
Its almost as bad as the last script I saw that decided 'Cobra was a concept that will work without guys in helmets or hoods.'
But, I agree Lehsreh, no matter how bad it is, Ill go and see it.

Frank promises fans that "the G.I. Joe movie will SUCK!"





...and that's why! Leave the Ninja s**t to TMNT.......they'll probably have Will Ferrel or Jerry Seinfeld or some other no talent a$$-clown playing Rex! REX?!?! REX?!?! Sounds like he should be Mutt's new Partner! Junkyards replacement! I have a feeling this will be one of those blockbusters in the same vein as 1998's "Godzilla" and Dolph Lungren's "The Punisher".

I need a drink!

It's my belief that the movie should be written as an 'action-military' story. THEN put GI Joe in there. I'm thinking particularly of something like THE ROCK. Sure, the Sean Connery element wouldn't work, but uh, you get the idea. NAVY SEALS was another example. Story first and then tweak it so it caters to certain GI Joe characters. But man, don't write it around a character (like Matrix).

agreed, agreed.

;) It'll suck-maybe as much as Street Fighter with Jean-Claude Van Damme did.......... ;)

Supposedly its Mark(y Mark) Walhberg.

yeah, as of now hes playing duke, hes even said so.

Maybe we can get Ice Cube as Stalker and George Clooney as Flint and they go look for gold and treasures in Iraq and some bad things happen and...

Ummmmmmm................. :eek:

I think the Watermark is going to be the TF movie. That'll set the stage for the Joe movie.

C'mon, all you guys saw 3 Kings, right? Ice Cube is just fine in it. The guy has a lot more acting potential that he lets on or let's himself have. I like the guy tho I gotta wonder at his street credibility.

Ewwww....we don't say the SF word here!! Sorry, I almost vomited!
LOL Seriously, thanks for reminding me about the SORRIEST excuse for a film in history! It makes "the accidental tourist" oscar material! The worst part is, that was Raul Julia's last film! That would be like Ben Kingsley dying after filming a remake of "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes"

I take it back...according to Wikipedia, Raul Julia made one more film after street fighter.....thank God! Something called "Down came a Blackbird". And despite the fact that I have NEVER seen it, it would have to be ungodly aweful to be worse that Street Fighter! LOL!!

My thoughts
 

I mean c'mon.. G.I.Joe should never be about 1 person. It shouldn't be scripted to cater one individual.
G.I.Joe is a team.. not one person.. I actually think the whole idea sounds like it sucks.. and it most probably will do. I agree totally with what has been said.... where is my hardcore superstar cd.. I need to be happy again.. :rolleyes:

If they want to do it right......or at the very least 'decent'........then they have to format it a la 'X-Men' style. The exception would be to cast a virtual group of 'unknowns' in the prominent characters spots. And make it an ensemble outing, NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT! The only exceptions to 'famous' voices being, Cobra Commander, Destro and General Flagg, whose faces we don't actually 'see'
[obviously in the case of CC and Destro because of the masks. And for Gen. Flagg, just have the 'darkened face on the screen' approach]


And as for the storyline?? Follow the magical chemistry that the original Superman movie did.........simple and standard and paying homage to a 'Great American Hero' ;) :)

Yeah, but why do that? Throw in a bunch of characters that NEVER existed in the comic, use a bunch of top line actors and cry when it goes belly up ala Street Fighter! LOL!

I'd like to see them just do it like Issue #1. Simple, direct, no frills, just the story of a highly trained team of military professionals that fight terrorism! Let their action and interaction tell us about them!

I like..
 

I actually like the thought of the film being done like the ''rock'' I could see someone like nicolas cage as being sci-fi v2. As a biochemist he was really funny.. In the rock he says "Oh thanks for the history and everything .. but right now I just wanna find some rockets" :p
I could definately see some of those badly turned military mercenary types as the cobra bad guys.. and the threat they pose in the film with rockets aimed at cities is typical of how I'd see cobra in todays modern world.

I think that guy who plays one of the mercenaries would make an excellent Mercer and I think the other dude would make a good Heavy Duty too! Sadly I can't remember the mercenaries names ;) :D

I agree with GenScar here. I think that the first Chris Reeves Supes flick is the BEST comic book movie ever made...well, except maybe Sin City...Jessica Alba....mmmmm....What were we talking about?

PEOPLE do u remember Masters OF THE UNIVERSE the movie has new characters and guess what THEY SUCK ..... they :eek: want a new character to be the hasbro puppet , remember star wars episode 1 JAR JAR the same think will happend with the new gijoe character.... sorry guys but the movie will suck toooooo....

I suddenly want to see a road-trip buddy-movie starring Gwildor and Jar-Jar Binks, more than anything in the world. Maybe by the Farrelly Brothers...

action man may be in the new gijoe the moive
 

its just a bit old news but the way this looking, we just may see him in gijoe,

god i hope not after all the stuff i've heard about this movie i am very wary of it..it's like they don't want to take it seriously because it's a toy line

I heard that Hasbro flat-out refused to let them use this script because of both Action Man's inclusion and the incredibly stupid love triangle between him, Duke and Scarlett. Not to mention the crappy villains.

i just read on hisstank that they want to get the guy from the transporter movies to play action man and that way they can call the movie action man whan they release it around the globe because some folk might not like the name of g.i.joe..also that they want to make the team global peacekeers and have joes from all around the globe but with familiar names...why not just make an action force movie then i think..if this is the kind of crap there gonna force down our throat's then i for one will not support or go see this movie :mad:

Sounds like they're forgetting about Action Force :(

I bet it all comes from studio execs only being able to identify the name GI Joe with the 12" figure and think of it as one guy, rather than a team.

from what i read on hiss tank, this moive may suck.
the title of the gijoe moive is,
a man called gijoe. this may have nothing to do with gijoe , then there was this thing about hasbro saying no to the story,
so whats true and whats not?

Don't worry too much yet,guys. It's early days yet on the Joe script. Hardcore Transformers fans went through more than a year of gritting their teeth on EVERY announcement-and then most of them LOVED the final product! :)

I don't know who to believe, but from what I've read, it sucks. It is like they don't even know anything about G.I.Joe mythos at all.

I think I'm gonna hurl...Movie related
 

Be warned, I'm gonna vent!

Just read that Sommer is back on GI Joe. Furthermore, here's the outline/synopsis:

"While some remember the character from its gung-ho fighting man '60s incarnation, he's evolved. G.I. Joe is now a Brussels-based outfit that stands for Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity, an international co-ed force of operatives who use hi-tech equipment to battle Cobra, an evil organization headed by a double-crossing Scottish arms dealer."

First off, Brussles based? Ugh.
Second of all the whole Global Integrated blah blah blah. It's GI JOE, you don't need to over explain things like that. Real American Hero is out the window.
Third, it would appear that they've combined Destro and CC into one, or it's terrible writing. Probably both.

OH...MY...GOD.. :mad: this movie will suck if they base it off of that, what's so wrong with the team being American based? i mean they were a real American hero, now i know that when the figures where released globally they changed it but still...i don't know stuff like this just bothers ya know? get it right ,care about the fans, is that so much to ask for?

:mad: :mad: :mad: Wow. That has got to be the most retarded thing I have ever heard. They can't make it an American team :confused: . Sounds like they never read the marvel series even once!

last time when i read it, before Sommers step back in, the title was called.
a man named gijoe. every one is getting there pants in a bunch about this movie.
this is the same when transformers came out, and that movie came out better then everyone expected to be,, so you know what lets see were Sommers takes this down the road,, the movie wont be out till 09. things can change, trust me, look how many times ,it took t.a.m.n.t. and transformers ,before it hit the big screen,

STUUUUUUUUUUPID... :mad: IF THEY WANT THIS MOVIE TO BE A SUCCESS JUST STICK TO THE ROOTS!!! LISTEN THE THE F%@&'EN FANS......

yeah but with transformers they never thought about making the autobots space banditos who spoke in stupid accent's, they knew sort of what the fans wanted and gave it to them(sort of :p ), the joes not being an American team is like a slap in the face, i never heard bad things about the story in transformers just that the autobots looked weird(which they did not)...i'll wait but the first accented yo joe i hear in the preview( you know if they even keep it) and i will not support it...so wait and see

we should all gang up and go kick some @$$!!!!!........this is the dumbest thing i've ever seen! what the h3ll was they thinking???....somone must have been high or drunk to come up with that....!!!! :mad:
