Megatron was what kind of transformer again in the movie??? How hard was it to transform into a gun? I know the Volkswagen Beetle is a little dated so I will let them pass on Bumblebee. What the heck was Devistator??? some kinda monster? They could not make like just one robot combined with all of the contruction vehicals? However G.I. Joe was simple and to the point of G.I. Joe vs Cobra. Your basic characters in their prospecitve element. The cartoon movies of both of these were great.

Starting w/ Jazz dying(at all) and a list of other shit. Like why couldn't they have just called the lebouf kid Spike. That would've covered so much shit. I believe that subconciously this and other problems like it let us know that the Directors/producers/writers were not fans and had no idea what it was until someone handed them the script. And to top it all off they think they can make it better. This has been the problem with many movies Transformers, X-Men, Hulk etc. My only real beef G.I Joe is that they made ripcorde join the same time as duke. :? Marlon Wayns could probably pass for dominican/puerto rican but wouldn't it have made more sense just making him Stalker.
clairascanbe;1959608 said:Good thread. My answer is no but I have yet 2 see the gi joe movie.The michael bay monstrosity seemed as though it was dumbed down for kids whereas the animated movie pertain to all ages. It was like watching a disney movie about a kid who bonded with alien robots that he found in his backyard with a ton of humor in the mix. Im surprised they didnt have the autobots fighting bullies at high school. I didnt connect with any of the characters(except jazz 4 obvious reasons), when optimus died in the 80's version my heart was broken,when he was getting his ass kicked in bays adaption by megatron I could careless -thats my take on it. The movie should of took place on cybertron not fighting army soldiers chasing a kid throughout the city. I guess CGI makes up for everything. Give me a japanime animated transformer movie and ill be straight.

Say what you want about "Transformers 2", Part 1 was actually a pretty good movie and what they accomplished with the effects in "Transformers" was groundbreaking, nobody and their momma thought they could pull off a live action Transformers film which is why it wasn't made for over 25 years. "G.I. Joe" they dropped the ball on so many characters and the story wasn't good. I only give it a slight pass cause it was the 1st movie but it should of been way harder than it was.
It came off like a TV-movie instead of a Big Budget live action film. I was a huge G.I. Joe fan as a child of the 80's, played with the toys religiously, I saw this on the big screen out of respect for my childhood and left extremely disappointed. They did not honor the cartoon. Atleast "Transformers" had the original voice of Optimas Prime from the cartoon. I'm not saying Transformers is a perfect franchise but it honored the original cartoon way more than G.I. Joe did. Also people need to stop expected the Live Action Movies to be 100% identical to the cartoons or comics, that's not going to happen. The goal is to keep it as true as possible to the source material while making it an entertaining film.
