Author Topic: YO JOE!!! GIJOE Rise of Cobra (Read 17954 times)

I have none, I just have an image, feelings and my childhood memories about a series that was EPIC in its time. I don't know how it'll translate into film but I am filled with DREAD at the idea that they are using POWER SUITS!!!! WDMC!!!! hence though like Transformers I have no expectations only HOPES that they will do the series justice and NOT desicrate my childhood!

secret to avoiding movie disappointment = have 0 expectations.

Not to burst ur bubble or any thing but this movie seems to be taking its cues from the Sigma Six series.....jus a lil. I'm just expecting a fun movie, but hope it surprises me otherwise.

what laertes said

also I agree with redlum, the corniness readings in this sector are off the chart.

Looks like it will still be a fun ride for the kids. Suspend belief, reality and sensibilities for this one. (as was the case for transformers 2)

^^ True. I had no expectations for Star Trek and that kicked a$$. So we'll jus have to play the waiting game till opening day and see for ourselves. lol.

^Yea for real, but it does appear that the look of this movie is somewhat derived from it, and the look was the only great thing about sigma 6. lol.

The Writer's Strike

Looks like it caused Wolverine (they rushed it before the strike) and Transformers 2 to suck (it made Bay write the script xD).

Star Trek is the only one that has managed to rock despite it...

GI Joe is also on that list unfortunately. Take a read.

The truth is we don't know what will happen so we'll have to wait till Gi Joe releases to see

Seconded

Been browsing thru the movie adaptation comics for this, seems good so far but due to fear of ruining the movie, i'm not really reading anything in it

lol. Just checked out the first part so far.
