Yeah, from all indications this is really sounding awful anymore. Even the actors are pretty much in damage control already (I think Dennis Quaid answered questions similarly awhile back). Basically "well, in a crap movie like this, you don't worry about the acting" type of comments. I hope that we'll be surprised, because there is still a part of me that wants to see this (Snake Eyes looks pretty cool for the most part) - but it isn't looking good right now. I don't even mind if some things are different from the comic/cartoon, I understand that with movies, as long as it is entertaining. I remember there was a lot of disappointment leading up to the Transformers movie as well, but I think people - at least for the most part - seemed to enjoy that pretty well.
