Comments on: Sgt Rock Moving Ahead – In Time https://www.themovieblog.com/2009/11/sgt-rock-moving-ahead-in-time/ The Correct Opinion Fri, 13 Nov 2009 23:59:45 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Brian https://www.themovieblog.com/2009/11/sgt-rock-moving-ahead-in-time/#comment-231470 Fri, 13 Nov 2009 23:59:45 +0000 http://themovieblog.com/?p=23107#comment-231470 Should Sgt Rock even be a movie? WW2 is has to be the backdrop, but I wonder if there is a studio out there that would do it justice. A Sgt Rock movie would have to be an anti-war film inorder to stay faithful to the original mood of the comic. I doubt that would fly with the current stance our country is in. Those of us in the military, who know first hand that war shouldn’t be glorified, would probably not feel like sitting through something too realistic. There is a big chunk of the population that have to deal with war everyday either over “there” or back here at home. We worry about ourselvs, friends & family getting deployed. We worry about them and what will happen if we or they don’t come home. We don’t really need to go to the theater to be reminded that war sucks the life out of you.
Therefore, I think that a studio would take the Sgt Rock idea, twist it, and screw it up until it is nothing but a WW2 version of last summer’s “GI Joe” fiasco. The desire to spit out a BLOCKBUSTER based on Sgt Rock would, in my opinion, be a quick buck for them and they would most likely miss the spark that made the Sgt Rock comic so unique. A director (artist) who loves the old comic and who could wait until the mood of our nation was ready for such a film, needs to do movie. Who and when is up for debate.

Rock, The Unknown Soldier, and Weird War were my favorite comics growing up. Sgt. Rock absolutely has to be done in the original setting.

However, I do understand their concerns though. WW2 films may not be the biggest box office grab.
