I think they should just do a reboot, I loved the first one but wants the point of a sequel if more then half of the cast is not coming back???

Good thing! He deserves better.

SuperBat77@ True he made a good voice for the character.

TelaVizion@ So the rest of the characters are not returning or does it mean the actors of those characters?

Just because JGL won't be back doesn't mean Cobra won't be.
Besides...the film is called COBRA Strikes...

that last answer where he praises nolan for his artistic approach to film-making had absolutely nothing to do with the question.

Q: when wil you begin filming TDKR
A: Nolan is an artist and he just wants to tell a good story and doesnt cater to anyone's expectations

What? He was the best part in the film. I wonder who'll they'll cast now. Oh, and the first was great.

IF YOU WERE CURIOUS ABOUT LOOPER, CAUSE I WAS...

LOOPER...

The sci-fi flick stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bruce Willis and Emily Blunt and concerns hitmen (“loopers”) who use time-travel to cover the tracks of their murders.

EXCERPT FROM AN INTERVIEW WITH BRUCE WILLIS ON LOOPER VIA FILMSTAGE.COM..

-Bruce Willis: A guy goes back to kill himself, his own younger self? How is that…. I want to go see it right away.

-Quint: And I love the whole concept of being able to track the looper by… or to blackmail them essentially into turning themselves in.

-Bruce Willis: You know where you are going to be.

-Quint: And suddenly fingers start disappearing and all of that stuff, it’s such a crazy…

-Bruce Willis: It’s such a huge leap and yet the story is… I love time travel. It’s really smart and yet it’s not about time travel as much as it is about mistakes you have made and things you don’t want to do and your little childhood self coming near your adult life going “No, you’re not going to do that. I’ve got to effing kill me.” It’s great, so yeah I’m really excited about that.

COBRA COMMANDER needs the MASK!

Get any decent actor to play him!

JGL completely butt [frick]ed the character and destroyed Cobra Commander!

One of the worst things about GI JOE!

The other two are RIPCORD and DUKE!

Awesome SNAKE EYES, STORM SHADOW, SCARLET & ZARTAN!

Good!! He's better than this kid's fodder garbage! He's a decent actor and has come a very long way from 3rd rock from the sun.

In my opinion, GI JOE ranks around the same as Batman and Robin
