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.

What the hell was this - Worst Directors Ever? I mean seriously the guys from South Park could do a better job! And we all remember BASEketball.

I'm not saying BASEketball was good, but I don't think the idea behind it was to make a great film.

And the South Park guys didn't make BASEketball, they just starred in it.  It was written and directed by David Zucker.

Dude!  BASEketball ruled!  When I lived in York we used to get hammered and watch that movie all the time!

Bob Costas and Al Micheals had some great lines in that. The scene with the cheerleaders is awesome.  Michaels looks at them; "It's hard to believe that just five years ago those girls were only in grade school." 

Now I'm going to have to go and buy that on DVD and watch it.

How wonderfully unexciting.

Having now seen the entire Resolute cartoon I could not be less interested in seeing the feature GI Joe film. 

And I also have to ask; who in Hollywood has suddenly decided that Channing "Words with more than two syllables confuse me" Tatum is the next coming of (insert famous, popular, top-tier actor of your choice here)?

Probably the same people that decided Jimmy Fallon was funny.  :)

I had no idea Master Chief from HALO was being melded into it.  Cool.

I totally agree with efranks about the feel of Resolute versus this pile. The Snake Eye / Stormshadow story alone was better than this hands down.

Sienna Miller looks yummy delicious, though, you've gotta admit.
