That is the best way to look at it.
LH: It’s always “cooler” to be negative; If you are a socially retarded anal-retentive developmentally arrested proto-adolescent with hostility issues. No, the movie does not adhere to the comic book canon. So what? It was a lot of fun to watch, I liked the characters, and it made sense. To me that’s much better than a sharp stick in the eye or two and half hours of “art.”
So what Hama is saying is its ok to be positive about something as long as your on the payroll but if you dont like the film it's because your a retard and not because you prefer 'art' over slapstick.
I like slapstick, but give me jim carrey as the mask or Ace Ventura I'm fine... just dont add it to Special Anti-Terrorist Teams that fight around the globe.

I am pretty much in an agreement with Trench-Viper on this.. a good GIJOE film would be shot similar to the Bourne style or as the Soldiers/Military were in the Transformers film.
Finally it wasn't just ninja force that killed the line, there were a number of very bad marketing decisions and overall choices hasbro made with the gijoe line. Starting with Neon and ending in the cut off of support through comics and cartoons. Factor in the bad marketing and poor product choice and you have a grade A winner for failure. Take a look at the 1983-84 figures and match them to stuff like eco warriors or the mega marines and star brigade
I've learnt now to accept Hasbro will never satisfy everyone, I think it stopped trying somewhere in the 80s if I'm honest. I used to care and back the line 100% but whats the point if they aren't willing to listen? They do what they want to do and make it appear to the public like they listen. We've all at some point had the automatic response letter from
H. "We're looking into it" kind of thing.
They didn't need to use accelerator suits in the film, they didn't need to change the background of characters from the filecards (Ripcord) as most of the history had been written in for them. Updating the franchise just like TF1 would of been quite fine with me. Shot in the same style as the Soldiers in the film and with a mission to stop a terrorist plot to rule the world.
Just wait until GIJOE 2 : The Commander Arrives.. in this film Cobra Commanders sordid past will be revealed.. how he used to date lady jaye in college and got her pregnant... and how she gave birth to a son who turns out to be firefly..
the film will carry on from where the 80s film did.. with falcon dating jinx as a trainee... it will be falcon who will have to battle a cobra commander clone aboard destro's star destroyer... where he will save the world and save his girlfriend...
