Brandon Discovers how awesome GI Joe is
I never knew, Yes, even when I was a kid, how awesome GI Joe and the GI Joe crew were. Yeah I had the action figures, when i was 4! To a 4 year old, there just hunks of plastic you can smashtogetherand make them stomp around the floor like giant soldiers before bed.
Once i was older, I was more into Batman, Spiderman, Superman and other Gemeral "Super Heroes". I really think I missed out on the whole GI Joeawesomeness and the fun I could have had a Halloween!
Once I saw this movie, this was all clear. It is a true, epic adventure that tells a story for the GI Joe fans, but more importantly, reaches out to a new generation. Since in the podcast I mentioned this is a family movie, I think this is a great way to introduce younger brothers and sisters to GI Joe.
Following the point that it is a family movie, this takes all the latest superhero movies, and takes a classic approach of "hey: here is a great idea! Lets make aKidscartoon and make a movie for thewhole family!" I'm not saying i didn't like movies like the Dark Knight, but they really are taking from the kids on the previous hero movies. They took a kids cartoon, Batman, and turned it in to averyadult movie with a hugely modified overlook on the franchise. They turned it into a dark, twisted and evil plotted series, which is in NO WAY appropriate for kids! Its like taking a kids favorite toy, taking a lighter to it, maybe a bit of blood, and give it back to them and say, "Here ya go!"
I am not saying that new hero movies are bad, in fact Dark Knight was the best hero movie I have seen, Its just no one under 14 will like it, and the whole concept of Batman was, hey, FOR THEM!
