Well said!
This cuts to the heart of what I feel will be the fall of this movie. It's going to be too interconnected that 2 hours isn't going to work for it.
One aspect of the Star Trek movie success is that non-fan's got to understand the characters and the ST universe. The ST film didn't jump into the middle of a long history of characters and their inter-plays through the decades of character development.
GI Joe has a complex history of characters, made more complex by the various outlets.. cartoon, comics, etc. It's not going to be easy to translate a long and complex history in 2 hours.
I do agree that the right way would be to focus on a simple plot, have a sub-plot for leading into a second film, but keep things un-complex as possible. There's probably more $$$ to be made for Hasbro if they do several films than one that tries to cover all.
