G.I. Joe is good to go this August. Could it take the heat to be a killer one?

Hope am wrong, I hope I’am dead wrong on this, but I think that the upcoming movie: G.I. Joe, The Rise of Cobra could turn into a complete fiasco.  Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I’m not excited to see the “Joe’s“ hit the big screen, but what I’ve seen so far, doesn’t look G.I. Joe to me.

To state my case I’m going to say this: The main movie G.I. Joe trailer emphasizes to much in the “new accelerator suit“, what the heck???!!! If it’s true G.I. Joe started in 1964, with its post World War II military branches,  I’m expecting to see the classic G.I. Joe era from 1982 to 1992, back when Hasbro launched it’s infinite 3 3/4-inch scale action figures, with multiple vehicles, cartoon series and comic books. However the “new accelerator suit“, seems to replicate the unsuccessful G.I. Joe Sigma 6 series that started back in 2005. Really, if it didn’t succeed, then why go for it?

True to the movie trailer, is the attack of Cobra to the G.I. Joe Headquarters: “The Pitt“, but that’s Sigma 6 stuff, and less certainly not “The Real American Hero“ essence.  Like I said before, I hope I’m wrong. I do have high expectations for the “Joe’s“ movie, but I hope it’s not another “super hero“ movie that’s killed by the abuse of special effects and a story that goes the other way around to it’s true origin.

We’ll talk more about it when G.I. Joe deploys at the movie theaters this August 7.

1964 G.I. Joe was invented by Stanley Weston so boys could have action figures of their own, rather than playing secretly with Barbie Dolls
