GIJoe 2 (Movie) pushed back 9 months!

[Skullcruncher]

I thought they wanted it to coincide with the Rock wrestling at next years Wrestlemania?

[Decepticon]

No great loss. As I can remember, the last GI movie toys sat around for ever in the toy stores (Toyworlds selling then half price) and the movie itself was rather blah also.

I guess the upside is that now the toys are coming out before the movie there's a better chance that Joe fans can get the toys before newfans

Converting movies to 3D instead of filming in 3D never works e.g. Clash of the Titans.

That's a dog-act by Hasbro to treat fans of this franchise like that.

Yeap, post production 3D films are the height of lameness. I am more annoyed that the film has been pushed back for such a cheap money making ploy, then I am for the significantly increased wait.

Delaying the movie for nearly a year just so they can make it 3D? That's lunacy. Avengers was successful because it was good not because of the 3D. By the time this is released, no one would have cared because they would have killed any hype for it by disappointing people and making them wait.

There must be some other reason or Hollywood Execs have gotten even more retarded than I figured. Nevertheless, it seems they don't have much confidence in the film itself if they feel the need to delay it nearly a year just so they can squeeze a few more dollars out of it with a 3D gimmick.

I wonder what they are going to do with all the already manufactured and some released toys?

Aaar, nuts. I was actually going to go see this one too.

Now, I guess I'll see it next year. Won't be going to the 3d version though. A few movies have made the transition from 2 to 3d ok, but more often than not they look rubbish.

I still remember wallking out of Pirates 4 and the first thing I said was "Why was that in 3d??" This'll be the same.

3D never worked for me so I think this postponing is just pointless. I wear glasses and the combined effect of the two just doesn't seem to work.

3D is a gimmick. I believe it will fade away eventually. Why it's taken so long I have no idea.

I fail to see how Hasbro think this will make them alot more money.

Held back until next year apparently. The stuff that has already been released will stay on shelves till it's gone.

I bought one movie figure on Ebay before this hooha started so will have at least one movie toy to review.

Overall I'm not to worried about the figures being delayed there are enough pricey items to get this year, not least of which is the SDCC exclusive figure.

Bah on the 3D though!
