Joe' was based on a toy but that's no excuse for it to be a bad movie There's a rumor floating that ALL Paramount pictures will no longer have a prescreening for the critics. JUST a rumor.

Is that what it is? I read that article twice and STILL don't understand what he was getting at! Did he like it? You figure someone with some type of degree in theater could get his idea across a little more directly instead of sounding like a blithering idiot or a teenager who is pissed that his favorite band cancelled their tour date.

Ok, YES! GI Joe could have been better in a LOT of ways.....it could have been more gritty and violent.....WAIT! We just lost the Children Demographic with that one! It could have been more Romantic....Wait...We lost the 25-45 YO Male Demographic on that one! It could be more Technical......Wait...the only ones left in the theater now are Math MAjors and Engineering students!

My advide to this clown! Get over it! GI Joe was good....it had enough comedy to keep it light, enough action to keep me interested, enough violence and explosions to keep me awake and enough story to make sense. This aint "Remains of the Day" Or "Pollock". I don't need DEEP HUMAN DRAMA in my Joe film. These guys need to quit reading Art magazines, drinking wine, hanging out at Starbucks with their "iMac"s trying to be hip and trendy and artsy and try working for a living....I guess when you convince yourself you live in a fairy tale, Drama has a certain appeal to you....I get enough Drama working my @$$ off every day, I got to the theater to guzzle my $8 large 52oz Pepsi and for two hours forget about REALITY and lose myself in crap that ends too happy to EVER be real!

Graham.....come get my soapbox before I go any further!! hehehe!

miragearmor Can't keep up with Joes. Offline --> Posts: 381 --> Join Date: Feb 2005	Must be because of the fallout from the reviews of the Transformers sequel. Too much of one thing is bad. For Michael bay, it's the excess from pyrotechnics. Look at Tony Scott's film of Days of Thunder and you'll know what I'm talking about.

He is going off about cliche arguments people make when they hear the movie isn't good. Pretty clear actually.

Funny for high drama he compaired Joe to Star Trek. Last I checked no one accused Trek of being High art. Not sure where "remains of the day" or "Pollock" came from. No where did the article go near any of that type of movie.
