Movie Review: GI JOE

I wont pretend to know the ins and outs of theology... not that comparing the study of something as impactful and intrisic as the ages long culmination of the major religions; their parallels and differences comes anywhere in the region of the study of the short life of this particular type of fluff fiction. But I'll bite...

I'n not a suscriber to religious sectionalism or the depths of it's institutionalism. I do support its intrinsic socialism and its concept as a control tool.

Most religous debate that I've seen have little to do with the source material contradicting itself or having it's concept completely changed in subsequent translation. Most debate usually hinges on agreement/disagreement with the presented material or its translation into practical application; the other disagreements and discourse on continuity are usually side arguments made to supports any decision of agreeability or it's practical applications.


Is it a major complaint from me that this person has a problem with the movie... not at all. I just thought it was silly of them to imply that people would break down if the same happenend in CoX canon (as if it hadn't happened already). I thought it was also silly to imply that Hollywood wasn't allowed to do what the comics and other mediums were already doing to their own creations.

And although I like to get into life-eating debates... I think I am done with this one. It's just GI Joe, lol.

Sid, normally I find your posts amusing, but your just trolling to troll now

So have any of you read the tie in book yet? If not let me save you the time and instead suggest that you use the money to pay someone to punch you repeatedly in the face for even thinking of buying it

This is literaly only the second book ever that I have been unable to bring myself to read all the way to the end.

The movie was fun.
It wasn't great, but it was good enough to be fun.

Concerns about canon are ridiculous. The canon you like regarding G.I. Joe already ignored the canon I knew growing up, and I didn't scream back when your little action figures were trampling over my 12" history. Regardless, huge swaths of cartoon canon were stupid and hugely flawed when you attempt to change medium to film.
Snake Eyes had too many backgrounds, Cobra Commander had no background etc.
Like or hate the movie for what they put on the screen, there's plenty to dis if you really want to without pretending there was some great canon that should have been followed.

Believe it or not... I actually liked the movie. I mean, some of the physics wasn't so spot on. But in the proper mindset that can be overlooked.

And for a refreshing change, it was nice to see that the black guy wasn't a total goof, or dead before the second reel. And who doesn't like babes in skintight gear!

Sure it was a shameless attempt to reignite interst in the Hasbro toyline. But the media and the toy business have been in bed together since about The Flintstones.

I take it all back.

Two hours of a redhead and brunette with fabulous breasts punctuated by explosions every five minutes. I enjoyed it.

The only thing that really killed the movie was the random trailer for Avatar. Blue catpeople are not my cup of tea.
