Escape to the Movies: G.I. Joe - The Rise of Cobra

4.35 is the point of the trailer which made me go...Hmm didn't I see that in TF1?
It does look like a good pop corn flick where you can just mong out and cheer on the good guys though...
...I do wonder (read hope) if they will make a M.A.S.K. film though.

Now THAT surprised me. After they decided that they were not going to let reviewers get an early screening, I had pretty much assumed that this was going to be another Transformers. Whoopee! Now I wont be utterly pissed when My roomie wants to inevitably see it and drags me along!
Well, maybe it was all part of their plan to get everyone's hopes down, then make them happy when the bar is low.grinklehi said:
I may have to see this, just to see an action movie this summer because everything else I wanted to see is out of the theaters already.
Oh god, its GOOD? PANDEMONIUM IS UPON US
Never expected it to be good judging by the failures of other comics and kid's toys getting turned into movies (yes I'm looking at you Transformers!)

Well hey that is cool. It is very rare when a movie gets it "right" so to speak. Most of Hollywood is too stuck up its own ass to realize how they should approach any given movie.
You'll forgive me for raising an eyebrow at this. Look, I'm not one of those hateful internet sub-people who think everything sucks, but considering Hollywierd's track record with nostalgic franchises (I.E., they've buttfucked every single IP they've gotten their hands on), I think I'm going to sit this one out and wait for the DVD.
I still won't see this movie. I need a substantial plot for me to watch a movie and this just seems like a bucket load of random explosions.
Wh... what? How is this possible? How could this movie possibly be good? I remember seeing the trailer and nearly bursting out laughing! I remember turning to a friend and saying: "Terrorists and ninjas? This movie must be good!" Ok, it has Christopher Eccleston playing a diabolical supervillain, but I still find it extremely hard to believe that it's worth watching. Unless, of course, this review was written just after MovieBob took his happy pills to counteract the Transformers-induced apocalyptic rage.
I'll believe it's good when I see it. Which I will probably have to now.

Crazy, I heard my friends talk about watching it and was about rock their worlds with insult to the movie, but i held my tongue. Apparently it was a good idea.BlindTom said:
Now this is what I don't get. Movie Bob praises This movie while shitting on Transformers. I think he hold on to the source material too much. I mean he keeps comparing it to the originals and I'm thinking "Why?"
For most people they haven't seen the originals so there's no way they can give their two cents. I'll admit that Transformers was over the top with some stuff, but I doubt the action in this movie will top that of Optimus Prime T-bagging like four decepticons at the same time, though how unbelievable that is.
