No G.I. Joe For Movie Critics
- Thread starter Andy Chalk
- Start date
When I saw a preview for this in the theaters, just about everyone in the theater was very excited. I wasn't.
Now, I'm more secure than ever with my prediction that the movie will be worse than Transformers.

This has the same director as one of my all time biggest disappointments, Van Helsing.
When I saw the trailer at Star Trek and those suits came up, I lost hope. That's not GI Joe. That's an excuse to do dumb shit.

I had high hopes for it, then I saw the stupid suits and super human abilities. Its not GI Joe, its nano suit man.
If knowing is half the battle, then I'm happy with just half.

I think that if someone goes into this film expecting something more profound than say, a movie based on toys and a shitty cartoon, is expecting far too much.
We know it's crap.
They know it's crap.
Critics know it's crap.
Move along, there is nothing to see here folks.
Except for the immensce levels of stupidity among publishers of this movie.

Requiem For A dream. I'm just saying.cobra_ky said:
Anyways, this movie is going to be crap from the moment I saw a foreign monument of great cultural significance eaten away by crappy CGI (i.e. L'Eiffel Tower), only to to see it destroyed again in a another trailer right after this one! I'm sorry, I lost my train of thought; where was I? Oh, yes!
To Hollywood: Stop destroying the Eiffel Tower before everybody realizes you're just suffering from rampant penis envy!
I read a review about it from IGN and they said it was a decent movie, course I don' know how biased they were-if at all.
Thank you, sir. I'm glad to see someone has a mind of their own.Deleric said:
If you really need a critic to tell you if a film based on a franchise you may like is going to be potentially bad, then you're a complete tool.
The bottom line is that if you're a fan of G.I.Joe and are able to use your own COMMON SENSE as well as rate a movie based on its own merits, then you're going to like this film.
If people could pull their heads out of their self-righteous asses once in a while, they'd be able to see that films like Dragonball Evolution, Super Mario Bros, and Double Dragon were actually well-made AND well-written.
Movie critics are the only people I despise more than Game "reviewers." Every review of everything ever is one's subjective opinion lightly touched with a tad of actual "facts" and are therefore just that "professional's" excuse to yammer on for three to five paragraphs so they can get paid, leaving roughly 5% of the total review being actually worth a damn.
Just like past movies based on once-popular IPs, I'm going to go see this movie as a fan of the 80s cartoon and will base my opinions on the film's own entertainment values (or lack thereof it the case comes up).
Sometimes a filmmaker's modern interpretation can be a good thing. If's no different than the thousands of parody and tribute Flash Animations found on Newgrounds that garner such fanboy-ish praise, multi-million dollar budgets and famous actors not withstanding.
Ok, keeping it away from Critics actually would not worry me, but marketing to the ignorant does. Yes, mid-america is a place I hate and thats because thats where ignorant religious people thrive and breed. If you are from there though, and reading this, you probably can probably ignore my hate and sorry you're stuck there.
Atleast Inglorious Bastards will be good.

That, and one would have to work very hard to screw up Snake Eyes, who is and has always been the coolest of the team. Even though I'm certain this film isn't going to be that great, it does have Snake Eyes. How bad can it be?cleverlymadeup said:
There's a pretty good sign what to expect in the movie when they make a game that plays like this:
Can I say, "hackneyed reinterpretation of IP designed to deliver money for minimal effort involved?"
I might just watch it anyway for nostalgia purposes.
