I just finished reading the article in ToyFare about the film. The comments from the Hasbro guy running the line (Ritchie is it?) were terrible. I should go back and count the number of times he used the word "expression." It's going to be a ridiculous amount.
Then they interviewed someone that led or worked on the design team for the film. The most telling thing she had to say was that they only had something like 8 weeks of prep time on the film when they normally get 26 weeks.
Yeah.
Teach an entire film production team that has no idea what GI Joe is really about, everything they need to know in 8 weeks all while they're going into a production? She talked about the constant rewrites on the film and another production guy talked about all the changes made during filming, like doing away with the pulse weapons and going to standard projectile weapons...
It all just seems like they threw together a bunch of **** and called it GI Joe in order to capitalize on the hot Hasbro brands after Transformers hit big. The fact that Hasbro licensed out its board games as films should be another indication that they're off their rockers.
E...
