The All About G.I.JOE Movie. And official Review Thread. - Blu-ray Forum

Lord_Stewie · 07-14-2009, 11:40 PM

Hey Guys.

August 7 will see the first live action film which might become a trilogy depending on how well the first of the installments of G I Joe stands in the Box Office.

I thought this would an interesting thread discussing what you know about G I Joe. What you want to see based on the cartoons and characters development in comparison to what would you like to see in this film.

Is it going to become a Box Office success or another bash party for the rotten tomatoes?

I am not sure who will be playing Duke for the movie but I want to add that he is my favorite of the characters. I have been a huge fan of his since I saw G I Joe the movie back in the 80's.

Anyways this link provides all the characters in the G I Joe, thought I might add to refresh some memories.

enjoy.

PS: This thread mostly based on what you grew up with back in the '80s and what you would like to see the future film to stay true to.

I do not think rotten tomatoes really matters, look how they bashed TF2 and that movie is making tons of money. I know when GI Joe hits the theater I will go see it but they need new trailers because the one that keeps playing is making it look like it will be a B film at best.

I also grew up in the 80's so I know where you are coming from, hopefully they will do it right, make a ton of money and see a few more in the future.

Seriously, this movie has the words "EPIC FAIL" written all over it...

Sorry, I read the bolded parts below and should have known you wanted to talk about the cartoon and not the movie.

And you didn't read all the threads I linked to know that they did or didn't talk about the cartoon movie or the live action movie. At least not yet.

None of the characters in the new movie are even close to what the cartoon characters looked like and that is why this movie is going to

nope you are right. I was actually editing. no hard feelings. but was kind of surprised with all the links provided.

I just want this thread to discuss what people grew up with, and what they would like to see staying true with the film.

that is all.

I have a feeling it will suck, everybody will go see it because it's GI Joe and then we will get another crappy sequel.

Same picture? Really?

I know one opinion has as much right as another.

But,

I remember seeing many member looking forward to just a few movies in the past year, and then BASH them after they came out.

Mostly a lot of "its gonna suck, not gonna see it" -- not a lot of actual new movie watching going on apparently.

I don't think it would be a total fail for some dislike for its not the 80's cartoon. Just like Transformers.

But for me, I'm seeing it Day 1.

Cartoon films from the 80's where bad, sorry but I loved GI Joe and could not sit through any of them (probably too old). Looking forward to the live one though.

Question: Can anyone tell me the name of Cobra Commander before he became CC.

Red Baron. Found it on Wiki.

AICN just posted a few reviews, and although not glowing, if you're going in w/ low expectations and expect some cheesy fun you should be happy (which is exactly what I am doing!)

I won't be going to see it in theaters, mostly I wasn't a fan of GI Joe just like Transformers, so I have no wish of paying $10 to see it. I will see it eventualy of course. I don't know anything about the cartoon and so I will just watch it as nothing more then a fun popcorn movie, I am not expecting a Criterion Collection movie with this but it seem many are
