It reminds me of the star trek movie reviews, the reviewers almost spent more time complaining about star trek fans than they spent talking about the movie itself.
I think sometimes that the movie creators feel that comic book fans should be gratefull for that the movie companies "bother" to make movies based on comics.
Instead they should be gratefull for being able to mine the comics for ideas! God knows they need them! It seems to me that they think that a bad movie is better than a good comic, simply because it will garner more money. Bad story telling is bad story telling no matter how hi-tech the medium. Speaking as a movie goer I am a bit tired of wire fu and I am afraid they maybe made it too modern with the acellerator suits stuff. I would have liked to see GI Joe done in the style of the soldiers in the transformers movie, or Jason Bourne style of movie just less brutal.
At the end of the day, its the sincerity of the actors and the director which will carry this movie if they have done a good job then this will be a good movie if they have slacked off and done it tounge in cheek... Then they probably wont get many new fans even though the movie might sell well.
One thing that really worries me is that the same guy that directed the sword fights in the pirates of the carabian sequel have worked in this movie too. The sword fights in the first pirates move was good but the fights in the two sequels were not as interesting.

What did they do to him?
