Then why ask since he's not even in the movie?:

He was RUMORED to play Gung-Ho. He debunked THAT.

But he IS in the movie. That is fact, confirmed by Brendan Fraser himself.

Just saw it and I like it. It is what I want from an action movie. Sienna Miller is dang too hot. But I still hate clown Wayans.

Brendan played Lt. Stone. As a movie TDK is better. Ah.... and Mindbender is there! :D

Can't wait for the second part.

Damn.

Unless Brendan's changed his look considerably, the toy and package art for Sgt. Stone are really poor likenesses of the actor.

I've been watching the feedback come in on rottentomatoes.com and imdb.com all day; negative trendlines aren't good. Confirmed what I thought by brining this group together (not good/positive).

I'll wait for Netflix, Instant Watch, and only than if I have nothing better to do for 2 hours.

Honestly dude, if I based my movie watching on Rotten Tomatoes and the pompous arses at IMDB I would've missed alot of movies I enjoyed. If you like GI Joe at all, you will like this movie. It is a good, fun movie.

Why when I have never enjoyed and asked for my money back after seeing the Mummy and have never bothered with another Steven Sommers film? I never have seen a movie of anyone but Dennis Quaid, and I only like him half the time. I've hated everything ever made into a movie by this set of screen writers.

If by pompous you mean people who can divorce GI Joe and analyze things like plot, pacing, character development etc, all things that matter when you only get $60 to spend on things like movies/books/toys a month, you have to be very careful with your money. IMDB is mostly movie fans, people who just go to movies because they like the theater. Rottentomatoes is minus most of the critics this time, so it's not just critics who are panning it.

I don't have to like something just because they slap GI Joe on the banner. Excuse me if I ask for quality or at least people capable of it.

I guess Im just picky but the diostorys here are more entertaining to me! It just wasn't GI JOE to me to begin with but the horrible acting just ruined any enjoyment there was left for me! It was CG'ed to death and just off base with anything Joe too me!

I am probably alone on this one but I thought the best part in the movie was surprisingly Marlon Waynes!

I just saw the movie. I both liked it and yet also felt there's lots of room for improvement. I bet that Storm Shadow will return .. I'm sure he's got some of those nanomites in him and the cold water has instantly preserved all life functions. Didn't like the Snake Eyes mouth, or the back story with SE and SS as kids. A lot of CGI, well done, but too much. Remember that Clint Eastwood film about some super USSR jet.. Firefox I think it was. Even though it was in the 80's, some scenes made that jet look like it was traveling faster than the Night Raven. Would've liked to see more straight flying, through clouds, etc, to give that zoooming look of high speed instead of twist and turns at super sonic.

I felt the movie was decent. Better than what I expected. It will not influence my Joeverse, though. At the end, CC had such a deep voice that I thought he was going to say something like what Darth Vader would.. "Duke, I am your father!" ;-)

Breaker wasn't too bad. Liked the part with the bubble gum. Ripcord was good. I wouldn't mind seeing his character more. That Baroness is cute. I like how she walks. Those long strides.... :-)

SE did good shooting that missile that destroyed the other missile.

Wished Covergirl would've lived.

Who was what cute Joe girl with the short black hair during the scenes in the Joe sub? Hawk gave a speech about breaking orders, the camera panned around and briefly you see this cute girl. Later in the battle scene the camera again focuses briefly on her. I wonder what her character name is supposed to be.

All in all decent, entertaining. Good effort to tie up loose ends from the classic story. But, but still think the classic story made better sense (Vietnam days, Stalker, blue uniform with chrome faceplate, etc)

A thumbs up though.

More and more I am seeing people say that "GI Joe=quality" and if you have a different opinion you are "negitive" or "can't accept change"

I think its Ironic that people are saying that about the same people who embraced the Transformers movie and the same fanbase that is nessessary for the GI joe film to have a sequal.

Sorry but GI Joe fans cannot carry this alone.

My local comic shop had a rather negivie view of this film, I am still going to watch it but I think that the fact these guys who have loved things like TF, Iron man, ect didn't like this might hold bad tidings for this film. I suppose the next week will truely tell the tale though.
