Paramount sunk a TON of money into this movie. They don’t want screeners out before the release, as they tend to get released on Hulu and on BitTorrent sites.

This is brilliant, if you ask me.

“Go see it with the rest of the public.”

I’m betting it’s Pro-American... something the MSM likes to lambaste in today’s movies.

I don’t think that’s the reason at all.

It's not. It's the opposite. G.I. in this movie doesn't stand for Gov't issue. It stands for Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity. They didn't want to pander to Americans because they make more money overseas and it's a tough sell to Euroweenies and mooslimbs everywhere.

It’s not pro-American. The director and the liberal hacks who wrote it decided at the idea stage that GI Joe would NOT be a “Real American Hero” as we all remember from our youth. They changed the name to an acronym for Global Integrated Joint Operations Entity, a name that’s meaningless other than the fact that GI Joe is now a “global” force that reports to the UN and not our government. I believe they apologize to Cobra Commander for oppressing him somewhere in the story.

Interviews with the director and script leaks would indicated the exact opposite.

I've heard the opposite. There was some thread (would have to search for it) on here yesterday about how the director of the film stated that the movie is meant to be the "anti-George Bush" or some such nonsense. It supposedly has GI JOE being a UN team instead of "American heroes"

You echo my thoughts nicely. Ditto what you said!

"I’m betting it’s Pro-American... something the MSM likes to lambaste in today’s movies."

I hardly think so.

The drones who made this movie intentionally removed the American theme in order to make way for globalist worldviews.

It will not be The Real American Hero that we all know and love.

This is GI Joe: A Real American Hero, who was an icon of patriotism throughout the 1980s:

The new movie has completely and totally removed the American theme in a manner similar to what "Superman Returns" did the the "Truth, Justice and The American Way" line from Superman.

I don’t know about Pro-American. Something was posted a couple days ago about the director did not want for Republicans to go see the movie (paraphrasing here).
