I know it is hard to judge something before we've really seen anything from it...but yes, I too am a little depressed about one of my favorite childhood tv show comic and action figure lines being raped on the big screen by this Sommers guy.
I didn't mind the first Mummy, thought the second Mummy was pretty awesome (the action was great!) but Van Helsing and some of his other flicks Deep Rising was it?....friggin SUCKED! The CGI was so soulless and fake and the jokes were something that my 5 year old nephew would die laughing at.....
Everyone who loves G.I. Joe (and there are a few I'm pretty sure) has had their own vision of what a live action movie between the ruthless terrorist organization known as Cobra and the Real American action hero G.I. Joe would be like.....and so far? None of this was what anyone would have either a-imagined or b-wanted
Now not to say SOME of the designs are kind of cool to be honest. I do think that Sommers is like a big kid sometimes and has some really cool ideas for action and whatnot and who knows? Maybe everything has led up to this for him..maybe he will bang it out of the park and make a really awesome movie (......gulp....not holding my breath though).
What I THINK may happen is this movie will probably do quite a bit of business...and for Sommers and everyone else involved this is a trial thing you know? Everyone involved from Sommers to a butt load of morons who THINK they know what they are doing to people who are just dicking around with the property for the fun of it because they really dont care and know every fan will buy a ticket,, is going to put this movie out...and then listen to what people had to say and then if they get to a 3rd movie..probably do it somewhat right.
Just a theory but who knows.....so far the only thing that is really blowin up my skirt is Snake Eyes he truly looks awesome.
