I am a former member of the United States Marines. The GI Joe movie 2009 release is a shame. It has gone from real American heroes to the biggest anti-American sentiment based movie ever. Making all but two members American is a slap in the face to all former and current members of the armed services. The cartoon and comics of the 80’s where about American military branch’s coming together as a team. GI Joe has all ways been an American standard and Icon for the children of the US. Hasbro and Hollywood are more concerned that if they did make GI Joe the way it should be made with real American heroes that the movie and toy line will not do well over seas. They claim its so every country can be represented in the new times we live in coming together fighting terror. But let’s get real it’s all about the money. Taking Real American Hero out of GI Joe is showing those that it is now wrong to be American heroes. At this time there are Americans fighting and dying over seas fighting terror and keeping America’s security interest in place. GI Joe may be a just a comic/movie and toy line, but for those who know how the name GI Joe came about are true Blue. GI Joe stands for Government Issued Joe, from WWII an American Medal of Honor winner 2nd Lt. Mitchell Paige of the United States Marine Corps. Look it up some time if you are really true Blue http://www.medalofhonor.com/MitchellPaigeetal.htm. All American Military personnel are proud to call them selves GI Joes. It’s an American Calling card. I will be joining a boy cot as well as sending emails to all of my friends and family to not watch this disaster. Mark Walburn, who backed out of the movie when he read the script of the Movie. He was slotted to play Duke in the movie.Here is a link to Hasbro and there reasons for changing GIJOE to a more global force which they changed to Global Integrated Joint Operational Entity.

[...] alla faccenda ecominciamo dalle basi, se così vogliamo chiamarle: il logo del film. Quelli di /film lo hanno ripulito da tutto il contesto, cercando di dargli maggiore enfasi, ma a me non dispiace [...]

wow, i’d have to say that “I’m cool your not” has probably got som seriously represed H.S. tendencies… dude… grow up… is it time for your nap yet.. i mean seriously… i’m debating about movies.. not logging into a forum trying to “bash” on people that May/may not take movies too seriously.. the only one that obviously DOESNT have a life.. is you. Now, with all that said and done i ahve one more thing to say… “Nerds Built your PC…. STFU, and get over it.. your stupid, or at least act like you are therefore you have no place to talk”

You know the ones that I hate the most debating about movies are all you real dorks out there. You know: the ones who dress bad, have weird things growing on their skin like a bump or a mole, the ones who collect action figures or memorabilia of the false heroes in their life that they have created for themselves, the ones who think they are cool but in reality they are utterly annoying especially when they wince their way into a conversation and use words such as “Well you know the real reason… blah blah blah and go into this frenetic arm waving, face spitting, pop sipping between chat phase and the ones who….OHHHHH FRAK man I cant stand know it all nerds that think they know it all. I cant stand geeks in general. What losers.

I dont know how many times I have to tell all you people out there. WHO CARES ABOUT THIS MOVIE OR ANY OTHER MOVIE. In the end it all goes to DVD and re runs on television. I mean honestly are you all listening to yourselves? Your arguing and debating about a kids toy that I myself loved when I was whats the word? A KID. Get a life you dorks. ALL OF YOU holy man. Who cares about this movie or any other movie EVER MADE. I cant even stomach watching STARWARS anymore its so GAY. Just like every movie out there. Your all getting wet in the pants about a movie? thats SAD. I feel sorry for you all. Look back at some movies like XMEN and even the MATRIX= Who cares its a frikken movie. Its a made up story put to pictures. Just go watch it and even if it does not make sense or is unbelievable just watch it for the fun and experience of going. GET A LIFE. LOSERS.

I agreed with dexforget, it’s been a while since good movies comes out, look at transformer, although some changes to the characters like megatron flying instead of a space-gun! look, the movie fellas can’t please everyone, so, I guess while we can still watch our “Dream” toys and cartoons comes alive, that’s already good enough!

This movie has diaster written all over it, i wont say that some people have the right to be aggrovated or slightly pissed off. But, you have to admit its been a long time in the comming and its time that this movie be put out there… at least someone is doing it. you have to admit as well, that this movie will make good money: which hollywood is all about =) i’m kinda on the fence with this one so yes, lets see how this pans out.

I have waited for a live action Joe flick for so long. I collect the toys from the 80’s and have been a huge fan since 1982.
All of us fans know that the casting for the film could have been a little better. There are actors/actresses out there that would have fit certain roles perfectly. But what do I know, I’m just a dedicated Joe fan/film goer.
I hope there isn’t a lot of CG and hopefully the fight scenes are well choreograpghed. I am just so sick of cheesy special effects and sissy fight scenes in film.
I am afriad G.I.J.O.E. will follow this same path.
No matter what they do I will always be a Joe fan.

Well, they can’t use the original logo since in this movie is making the team global, rather than American. “G.I. Joe = Global International Joint Operating Entity.” I don’t like this idea, nor do I like the casting; aside from Snake Eyes. I am having my doubts on this movie being any good.

Some big CEO is probably afraid if they use the American flag someone will ban the movie & tell them that its offensive to Muslims or something equally stupid.

um, dude in reference to your idiotic remarks about white guy enemies…cobra wasnt really an islamic extremist group ya know? and detsro isnt exactly a “white guy” i dont think we’ll see him golfing or yachting less its on a moray! white is such a BS title anyway i reject that term and so should every american- italian american, african american, whatever but where did black and white come from? the countries of black and whit-ica? furthermore i dont think americas been brushed under a rug, i think the movie is playing to the worlds need for a global integrated task force, i think it emphasizes the international community. as a service member im excited about the film and a a joe fan of 25 years, i cant wait for it.
oh and if you didnt know, cobra commander is in the movie too(you can pretend hes an arab under his hood if it makes the villians more believable…your a tool).

Way to start off making a movie by saying you don’t give a crap about the American audience. Hey, lets take a slice of Americana and throw it under the bus.

I am also glad they made the “villain” a Scottish double-crossing arms dealer. We don’t want to offend any arabs, muslims, jews or dictators of any stripe. Just make the bad guy white and everything will be ok in this PC world.

Hollwood wonders why people stop going to movies? This is a perfect example. What next? Make a movie about the USMC and call it Universal Soldiers Marine Corps?

who cares about the logo? the moment they created something out of GI JOE, that’s it! I’ve been a fan since I’m 12 (in UK is called Action Force), and now I’m 34! I’ve been waiting for this movie, hopefully they have the following included:

1) the elite crimson guards and their twin boss TOMAX and XAMOT
2) variety of vipers …..
3) copperhead , firefly and the flying junkie, wild weasel
4) battle between snake-eyes vs storm shadow on top a building etc
5) all the way……I can’t list them all here…..

hopefully the special effects are good on this one… :-)

This movies sounds more like a rejected James Bond plot. Maybe COBRA has a giant ray gun that’s causing global warming.

Wow no more Red, White and Blue? I’m not a fan of the look but I really didn’t like the JOE’s anyways. I was a Cobra guy.

it needs the crimson guard commnaders-the twins, maybe firefly too, oh and some freaky german scientist with nipple straps in a cape for sure working in bioresearch lab with techno kickn(yeah, dr mindbender)…do you guys remember how truly …um, questionable some of the characters and costumes were. re look the dreadnocks….gay biker gang if ever wardrobe were an indicator!!! except maybe zartan…and zarana was pretty punk rock n yummy in that trashy way that she was. on the joe side im pretty sure lady j went both ways(wich ofcourse is hot) and chuckles was a dont ask dont tell poster child. i hope they keep the joe team small and amplify the enemies. if they do spirit i hope they dont make him the walking stereo type the cartoon did, i mean dang dude all he needed was a slot machine. anyway all this blather aside i think the movie stands a chance, and i’ll see it atleast twice if it sucks…i mean transformers ruined most of the faces and many of the personalities of the originals but its a good stand alone giant sentient robot movie….save for the giant ridiculous cube thing, energon anyone? viper6 out…..end transmission

What are you people so angry about?. I mean all they are doing is turning a great 80’s cartoon into a movie. People sent death threats to Steven Spielberg over the make of Transformers and the movie came out great. seriously I don’ mean to offend anyone but out of all the problems that go on in this world do we really have to nitpick at cartoons being turned into movies I mean come on.
