It's still gonna suck, no matter who they cast. The last one was horrible I hope this makes no money so we don't have to get any more sequels. But..... This was a pretty good casting job.

Might want to contact the folks at Heat Vision: Joe Colton didn't start the team in the 80's, he was the ORIGINAL GI Joe in the 1960's.

Weird... It's almost like they're actually trying to make this one a good movie.

Didn't see that one coming.

i loved GI Joe...the cartoon and figures as a kid.....the movie was terribly mediocre. fingers crossed that part 2 can redeem it..

KamenRiderJ22 Your right, it's either they have a good script that attracts these big stars or they're paying them mad money. But if they recast Wayon then the movie's already a FAIL.

Anybody that thinks this film could even remotely come anywhere close to being as good or better than the Avengers needs a catscan. I'm serious, don't [frick] around with this, get some help before you die of a brain tumor that could be operated on ASAP.
