I’ve never hid the fact that I am extremely apprehensive about a G.I. Joe movie. I’ve been apprehensive about long before they ever announced the cast. I’ve been nervous about it because I just don’t think there is a way you can do a live action version of the film that will make people happy.
Fans my age (who grew up with the G.I. Joe cartoon) will be looking for a bad ass action/war movie with lots o’ violence. But they’re never going to allow that because the toy company wants to keep it kid friendly to sell toys. With something like the Transformers you can get away with decapitations and ripping bodies in half because they’re robots and that won’t get you an “R” rating. But you can’t do that with humans on screen.
Anyway, that being said, it looks like the prequel comics (much like the Transformers) are set to hit the shelves and the covers for them have been released. Personally I kinda like them… but that’s just me. These come to us via our good friends over at IESB:
