All the entertainment magazines and whatnot are dissing it already. They figure it'll be a good popcorn movie but not have the coolness that that OTHER hasbro property pulled off (Transformers). The redux Batman and Star Trek, this is not. But as we all suspect, it'll be a fun action movie. Probably will end up with a cult following like Doom.

maybe you belive it or not , but g i joe is the only toy i like and i ever had since a child , hard to belive because im from mexico and always people ask why you like it is an american soldier, c,mon is a toy dudes why everything has to end in some racist stupid ideas

i really dont care saint seita toys marvel dc transformes (i have toys mmmm use to have) so to me , is all about g i joe , me and my brother, 5 years older than me , go nuts playing with g i joe toys and never care the usa color on the vehicles and that stuff

so i dont wanna bored all of you i just wanna share my pasion for the joes

mt point is what the fuc@#k they thinking with this movie c,mon that stormshadow is lame i think i can kick his ass, twice on sunday, and snake eyes look weird , looks small fat and and and weird, with that rubber mouth , theres a lot of grate artist that can do a more better work creating snake eyes outfit , the cobra commander movie aspect hooooooo boy well all of you know they screw big time this great character, and is a never end history

damn the monkey hasbro has as CEO



sorry for my english it sucks i know

Hasbro has been telling us sense the begining it is for a new generation and not the old school fans! (an excuse I think to get away with the crap they are pulling) but by isolating us and relying on creating a hit with a new generation is a recipe for a big SUMMER BOMB! The sad fact is they have gone so in the tank over this concept it may kill GI Joe forever with Hasbro!

I will go see it and probably enjoy it for the effects and action (popcorn flick value) but it is not GI Joe or anything like it to me! I hope it doesn't bomb for the sake of the franchise but I can't expect us die hard fans to support it either!

Not singleing you out but that statement brought something to mind.

One of my biggest gripes of segments of the fandom of late has been that "You need to grow up and accept change." comments assossiated with trepidation with this film. It's irritating to no end since its not the change but the change for change's sake (that has nothing behind it besides making things different, which never works).

The TF franchise was redone for various reasons (MOstly to make it accessable to new audiences) while Joe doesn't have that feel to it at all.

GI Joe fans, as a whole, are over-analyzing this.

I'm listening to the CREATOR of GI Joe, Larry Hama, who has seen the movie. Check out what he has to say at General's Joes: http://generalsjoes.com/2009/02/27/...ews-larry-hama/

Two of my favorite quotes from the interview:

GJ: Let’s talk about the big stuff first. You’ve been listed as a “creative consultant” on the upcoming big budget film, G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA. Can you be a bit more specific about what your duties were while you were on set?

LH: No. But, I saw the rough cut, and I loved it. And I am pretty picky. (I have never seen any of the GI Joe animated versions all the way through because they MADE MY TEETH HURT.)


GJ: In all honesty, there is a large percentage of the fandom who is very uncertain about the way the film has been progressing. How do you feel about how Paramount and the film makers are treating the “Spirit” or “character” of G.I. Joe?

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 let's try not to be "socially retarded anal-retentive developmentally arrested proto-adolescent with hostility issues". LMAO!

I'd been approaching this movie with cautious optimism in the past... but thus far the trailers have shown me very little that would make me want to see it.
Coupled with the very negative script review Paramount had yanked, and the news that Sommer had been fired from the film due to poor test screenings... it doesn't give me much hope that this will be enjoyable.

Even my friends who are not Joe fans, who have seen the trailers, have told me that it looked like crap.

So yeah, this is hardly "socially retarded anal-retentive developmentally arrested proto-adolescent with hostility issues". This is a generally-shared opinion.

You're not listening to the CREATOR of G.I. Joe though, you're listening to a guy who was the last dude picked to work on a kiddie comic designed to sell toys.

There are HASBRO employees who were far more important in the scheme of things about G.I.Joe than Hama could ever dream of being.


As for G.I. Joe the movie, I like what they did with Ripcord finally he's got a character I can get behind!

yea but how much can one trust entertainment magazines as most are out of Hollywood and there views against anything remotely patriotic

See that comment bugged me in many ways cause I see what it is. Its an old PR tactic to "Kill the messenger" before the messanger is able to give an informed opinion. In other words if the movie is crap, a person after seeing it will be labeled a "socially retarded anal-retentive developmentally arrested proto-adolescent with hostility issues" by those who are the "cheerleaders" who negate the consept that Hama was a paid consultant for the movie (and as such has a vested interest in promoting it, especially since he is trying to promote his own stuff of late).

And as has already been pointed out Hama didn't create GI Joe, he wrote the comic for it, also the comic (while having its great points) is far from perfect itself (IE SNAKE EYES featureing gi joe). I never felt the comic hit any form of stride until the teens and really didn't get its rythumn until aroud 30 or so, even after that there were lull points and even the best talls were marred with horrid dialouge (ie Cobra Civil War Serpy and CC use "Has been" and "better a has been than a never was" in thier arguement that sparks the war).
