Despite controversy over a lack of pre - release screening for critics , GI Joe : The Rise of Cobra had a great opening weekend . The reason for that , harmonise to directorStephen Sommers ? Because Joe is critic - proof , and all about thegeek love .
Sommers explain why Joe did n’t demand review from mainstream critic ( and why it did demand the cyberspace ) to Variety ’s Mike Fleming :
I know it sounds platitude , but I do n’t interpret [ reviews from flick critic ] . Why would I ? I make the kind of movies critic bang to detest . They jazz dark and depressing movie . If you make those , you expect they will love you , you postulate them to love you . The variety of movies I make ? They do n’t savour commercial-grade or democratic movies . I would say that oddball love is hard to realise , and I catch that in mounds . All the internet movie haters get laid this movie . To win them over , was something … Nobody who go to see these movies read Richard Corliss . The aggregate audience pays no attention to these critic . I ’m not sure they count . It ’s about Logos of mouth . I just bring an A with the under-25 crowd . Would I rather have that score or the top 25 critic raving about me ? I ’ll take what I get . I require as many people as potential to see my movie . I grew up fuck pic like Jaws ’ and Star Wars . ’ When you sit in a dramaturgy and have that shared experience , it is the biggest Benjamin Rush . From what I saw at theater of operations , the audience is cheer out loud in all the right office , and laughing in the right places .
in the beginning in the same audience , Sommers also say ,
I do n’t think the mainstream critics are relevant here , they have criticized themselves into irrelevancy . ` transformer 2′ got the bad reviews in the last decade , and it is the prominent bang of the year . More people will see that than any other movie . On my movie , it became so clear to us . Why not make those reviewer pay their $ 15 like everyone else ?
If this cerebration continues for picture show studio – and I would n’t be surprised if motion-picture show like 2012 do n’t try a like argument – then does this mean that there ’s going to terminate up being a year tier for movie revue ? Will mainstream magazine publisher like Entertainment Weekly get close out of covering popular movies because they ’re not nerdy enough , and if so , does n’t that mean that the movies will cease up segregate themselves ? Color me obnubilate … and enquire if Sommers is just trying to handle Joe ’s ass after the movie was a success .
