See guys dreams do come true!!!

[Dr Trouble]

Marlon Wayans in my GI Joe? Fuck yeah!

[Aptorian]

I've intentionally kept my expectations low ever since I saw the cheesy pictures of the actors posing in constume. They just look so... Power Rangers'y.

I'm hoping for Transformers but expecting Streetfighter the Movie.

[Lisheo]

Oh, god damn, Christopher Eccleston and Brendan Fraser... This should be... interesting.

[Osric]

Hmm, didnt they have army clothes n shit? Well looks alright, maybe it'll be cool.

If the movie ends with a "remember kids, dont do drugs!" Ill definately pay to see it.

[Abyss]

oh screw that and read this:

yes, YES! GIVE ME THAT! THAT IS WHAT WE WANT!!!!!!


- Abyss, because with Ellis at the helm, Scarlett will kick Destro in the balls... and Destro will drool a bit from his mask and enjoy it and ask for more mistress please more.

Is this actually being produced? And when? And how do I get my hands on it?

sigh....mom never bought me GI joes.
Too expensive she said.

Had to make fake parachutes and put them on my old He-man and skeletor.
Just wasnt the same

Action Force (as they were called over here) were the best toys ever. Most poseable, most ninjas, most cool, full stop. Tying them to zip lines all around the house was fun too

This film will be a turd.

I loved the GI Joe comics as a kid and I agree yellow this film will blow serious chunks...

[Abyss]

I want to agree with you except that i said the same thing about the (first) X-Men flic and Transformers and was satisfyingly wrong in both cases, innate silliness notwithstanding.

- Abyss, ...and knowing is half the battle (shooting and stabbing is the other half, btw).

After the rash of new marvel movies, Iron Man and the Hulk. ( and even Transformers ) I am silently hopeful that this movie will be awesome. Dude Darth Maul is going to be Snake Eyes .. how awesome is that!!!

[Yellow]

Completely not.

Would be cool if Ray Park could actually ACT!!

unless they give him a role with no lines and just action / martial art sequences again.
Even then...might still be teh suck

Ray parker doesn't need to act. Tell me, how often did we see Snake eyes without his mask in the cartoons? Never? One time? I think it may only have been in the comicbooks.

So basically, give him that weird facial plate and just dub over his dialogue. It will work.

[Volkh]

Exactly apt! You nailed it right on the head. I'll be suprised if he actuallys says 1 word in the film. Snakeyes was just a badassmofo mmmk.

[Coco with marshmallows]

the last 3 replies are all jokes right?

snake eyes was mute after all.
as in he couldn't speak,

not as a matter of choice.

[Slum]

The kid from 3rd Rock from the Sun is Cobra Commander? Scary. He was good in The Lookout...but as a villain? I don't see it.

That whole cast list seems to be designed around how much fail you can squeeze into one movie.

The perfect Ray Parker role
