im reading some stuff as i write this, as of now im reading some bad things. take this for example, something i found on IGN.com

"The screenwriter and self-proclaimed "Joe fanatic" also told us a tiny bit more about the film's sole new Joe character, Rex, who DiBonaventura said would be a major character. "Rex is just a first name (which actually came from Hasbro)," Gordon advised FilmForce. "Much like Duke is really Conrad, Scarlett is really Shana, etc. Rex will have a Joe handle just like every other character."

Gordon promises fans that "the G.I. Joe movie will ROCK!" and will be "chock full of blistering adventure, heart pounding heroism, high tech weapons and vehicles, and more crazy ninja action than you can handle." Sounds good!"

NO!!! doesn't sound good to me! a new character instead of an old one, i know this is a way for the writers to put their selves in the joe verse. and im already worried about that smurfing snake eyes. still, its a movie about G.I. joe, so ill be first in line on opening day. honestly though, i wish they would do a good CGI movie, like final fantasy spirits within.

lets face it, its gonna be crap.
No matter what they do it'll never do the franchise any justice.
(Mind you, Joe fans are very hard to please.)
But bringing it down to one central character? NNooooo.
Its almost as bad as the last script I saw that decided 'Cobra was a concept that will work without guys in helmets or hoods.'
But, I agree Lehsreh, no matter how bad it is, Ill go and see it.

Frank promises fans that "the G.I. Joe movie will SUCK!"





...and that's why! Leave the Ninja s**t to TMNT.......they'll probably have Will Ferrel or Jerry Seinfeld or some other no talent a$$-clown playing Rex! REX?!?! REX?!?! Sounds like he should be Mutt's new Partner! Junkyards replacement! I have a feeling this will be one of those blockbusters in the same vein as 1998's "Godzilla" and Dolph Lungren's "The Punisher".

I need a drink!

It's my belief that the movie should be written as an 'action-military' story. THEN put GI Joe in there. I'm thinking particularly of something like THE ROCK. Sure, the Sean Connery element wouldn't work, but uh, you get the idea. NAVY SEALS was another example. Story first and then tweak it so it caters to certain GI Joe characters. But man, don't write it around a character (like Matrix).

agreed, agreed.

It'll suck-maybe as much as Street Fighter with Jean-Claude Van Damme did..........

Ewwww....we don't say the SF word here!! Sorry, I almost vomited!
LOL Seriously, thanks for reminding me about the SORRIEST excuse for a film in history! It makes "the accidental tourist" oscar material! The worst part is, that was Raul Julia's last film! That would be like Ben Kingsley dying after filming a remake of "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes"

Supposedly its Mark(y Mark) Walhberg.

yeah, as of now hes playing duke, hes even said so.

Maybe we can get Ice Cube as Stalker and George Clooney as Flint and they go look for gold and treasures in Iraq and some bad things happen and...
