G.I. Joe comes out Friday!!!!!!!!!!

I've been waiting for this movie to come out ever since I saw the commercial on the super bowl. What's your take on it? Do you belive it's going to be dissapointing or deliver a good story with lots of action?
Perselonaly I hope they don't change slot of the main idea, but in the end almost all movies do.

It looks to be a horrible disappointment. I won't waste my money on this movie in the theatres, maybe dvd or even if it happens to be on Stars or something in a few months.

Will check it out and if it tanks just accept it.

Here's a post that I found on CNN and I think it applies well to this.

"No I will not go see it. It should of been a story of a rag-tag group of military personnel fighting evil with lasers. Now it’s a CGI mess that turns the G.I. Joes into mini-transformers.

Here’s two questions… Where the hell is shipwreck and why does Hollywood want to ruin my childhood.? My adult life is a terrible waste but my childhood actually meant something."

Neph that's f^cking awesome. This movie is going to go down faster than Tara Reid on a sobriety test.

I'd rather go see a romantic comedy or other chick flick than waste any money on G.I. Blow.

I heard today that a film critic ripprd it to shreds. The previews at the theater look good but I think it's gonna suck bad. Not a big Mummy fan either.

Well that is to be expected. This movie is not out to win any Academy Awards or anything, it's just to be a summer popcorn movie. am I gonna watch it? Perhaps, probably not opening weekend, cuz like Boobius, I have a connection t bootleg movies :D

Just because it's 'not out to win any Academy Awards' is no excuse to make a sh!tty movie. Just because I'm not aiming to be nominated for a Good Samaritan Award doesn't mean I should be a date r@pist.

"I've got a bad feeling about this." that about sums it up alright,now as to how bad on a scale of 1 to 10.....well lets say 14.

I think its more like a 15 Bruce, cuz it basically looks like eye candy with some actors that aren't even worrying about being true to the characters!

I think you're all getting a little carried away here. It's a summertime action movie based on an old cartoon. I don't think it looks great either, but they'll blow $hit up, there will be fights, and there will be hot chicks in tight clothes. I'm seeing it. If it sucks, then all I lost was $7-8 on a matinee, and two hours of my life that I would've spent watching ESPN and making sure my puppy doesn't poop in my house.

If you hate something you haven't even seen yet, then yeah,.. you're probably not going to like it, since you've already made up your mind.

I love how a movie coming out in the summer absolves it of being made well.

It doesn't.. what exactly does "being made well" mean?

I despise what are called "chick flicks"! Give me an action movie or a sci-fi movie any day over an estrogen filled hanky movie any day and I'll be as happy as a pig in a wallow!

That's not what I despise about chick flicks. Granted, I like a chick flick now and again. What I don't like is how, just because I'm a woman, I'm supposed to adore a chick flick and despise an action/adventure movie. Puh-leaze. Most of my favorite movies are sterotyped as "Guy Films".
Sexism!
