Re: GI Joe 2

This one should be even more exciting with great dancing choreography.
 
Re: GI Joe 2

Good actors can overcome bad scripts and cheesy dialog. Average actors cannot. That is the difference. (See: Star Wars Prequels > Liam Neeson/Ewan McGregor/Ian McDiarmid vs Hayden Christensen/Samuel Jackson).

Sienna Miller is gorgeous, but her talent is limited in scope.

But they were all terrible.....even Ewen. He did the best he could with it, but he was dry and boring as could be. Not his fault. It's up to the director.
 
Re: GI Joe 2

They weren't all terrible. McDiarmid and Neeson ate up their scenes in the prequels. Ewan was dry, but then that's the character. He at least had some charisma, which is difficult to pull off with scripts & lines that bad. But he did fine.
 
Re: GI Joe 2

Yeah, Channing Tatum is easily one of the worst actors around. And he doesn't even have the decency to be entertainingly bad. He's just... there. Like a wax figure taking up space and using up oxygen someone else probably deserves more.

I don't know. It is hard for me to take the actor out of the film. Neeson was his usual self, which is good, but he spent half his time with Jar Jar and the other half twirling around his light saber like some baton-wielding college band leader. The entire time, spewing out that horrible dialog with 1,000 pointless CG aliens running around in the background. There's only so much an actor can do in those situations.

As for Chatum or whatever his name is, he isn't any good, but he's far from the worst thing in that GI Joe movie based on the 15 minutes or so that I could actually sit through.
 
Re: GI Joe 2

I don't put a while lot of stock in this or know how this would be possible but...

Rachel Nichols, who played Scarlett in G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, revealed on her Twitter account (via /Film) last night that only three characters from the first film will return in the Jon Chu-directed sequel:

GI JOE 2 News Flash: The only characters to return in the JON CHU directed sequel will be SNAKE EYES, STORM SHADOW, and DUKE...

Snake Eyes was played by Ray Park, Byung-hun Lee was Storm Shadow, and Channing Tatum was Duke in the Stephen Sommers film. The original, made for about $175 million, earned $302.5 million worldwide in 2009.
 
Re: GI Joe 2

Can we get Scarlett Johansson as Baroness in this one? Just because it would be fun to look at.
 
Re: GI Joe 2

Can we get this scene in the first five seconds of the movie please?

Re: GI Joe 2

So I Netflix GI Joe ROC last night just to see if I was being overly harsh about the movie having only seen it once. Nope I was not, it was a horrible, I don't think there was one redeemable quality in that those suck fest. I forgot how bad the casting, acting, script and overly used super chessy the SFX were. And WTH was with the American Pres. having a british accent? I know GI Joe was based in the near future and was to help fold newer younger viewers into the world of the Joes but come on, they killed pretty much everything that made Joe cool for when I was a kid. Plus I served 15 years in the Army, I didn't see anything in the movie that was based on any real military tactics...holy crap I hated that movie. I really hope this new movie will save the Joes but it's not looking good.
