The kid probably never saw an original airing of the show to begin with. I knew this movie would be made eventually but come on No Lady Jaye, Flint, or Cobra Commander. Hopefully 20yrs from now they'll remake it properly. Why in the Hell would they cast a freakin 26yr old to play duke. The kid probably never saw an original airing of the show to begin with.

I can see where folks would like Gary Oldman; I could se him as Cobra Commander- but then I also seen <em> The Fifth Element</em>, Sid & Nancy</em> and <em>Air Force One</em>.... Sorry, Sir Doug, I <strong>cannot</strong> back you on this. As for the rest of the cast thus far, Dennis Quaid is probably the least talked about actor connected to this project. I've never been disappointed in any performance he has given, even if the film he happened to be in was horrible overall (Cold Creek Manor) great and overlooked (Savior, Come See The Paradise, Innerspace) or right on (Big Easy, Rookie, Frequency)...great actor but for some odd reason, never a great box office draw. I haven't a clue as to why. He's also an actor who takes care of himself-he's in his 50's, but with a touch of makeup could pass for 35. <em> Maybe that's why he was cast...</em> Arnold Vasloo -last seen in Blood Diamond- is best known for Imotep in Summers' Mummy films, the DTV Darkman and Van Cleef in Hard Target. I'm fine with his casting. Even if he plays another bad guy. I dig Sienna Miller... As for this new addition, I'm willing to bet she has three to four lines tops in a two hour film. Some of her lines will be "Yes, Sir", "I'm on it" and "Go Joe!" (okay, maybe not the last one; it would be a cheesy line for any of the actors) and she is this 'Cover Girl' character. I hae never gotten into GI Joe as much as other people, especially Doug. I never watched one cartoon in the entirety. All I recall is GI Joe with the mean fist (or as Eddie Murphy would say, 'The Kung Fu Grip') so maybe...overall...<em> I don't really give a damn about this film</em> and while Van Helsing was an overwritten, overproduced piece of fly ridden doggie doo, I could think of worse seasoned directors than Steven Sommers. I'm going to wait to see some footage before I draw conclusions on if this is worth my time or not. You should too. It’s time for me to chime in.

Seriously G.I.Joe past me by, probably due to being from the U.K. Am I right that they called the cartoon Action Force here? presumably to relate to action man.

Who else could pull off a used car salesman turned global terrorist leader? My understanding is that we will see the rise of Cobra Commander, setting us up for the sequel.

Cover Girl was the MLRS ("Wolverine") driver, right? WTF? The only casting pick I like is Ray Park as Snake Eyes, but that is not enough to make me want to see the film. No Cobra?! Gary Oldman needs to be Cobra Commander. This movie has *suck* all over it. Cover Girl was the MLRS (”Wolverine”) driver, right? WTF?

I started reading the comics at issue #12 when I was in third grade. I grew up eating and breathing GIJOE. I didn't care about Transformers, Thundercats, or He Man (ok...a little). I was all about GIJOE and, to a lesser degree, SGT ROCK. Then I heard that Larry Hama is onboard and has given the script his personal thumbs up. Even if the movie is crap, it's Larry Hama approved crap...and that is good enough for me. This is Larry Hama: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Hama I was worried about this movie for a while.
