They put a eco-green whining liberal as the main man G.I. Joe....Hollywood is clueless.

Remember the good old days when GI Joe actually fought against America’s enemies...

He’s not playing himself.

I’ve always like him as an actor, but isn’t he a little old for the role?

SNAKE EYES:

GENERAL HAWK:
“Yes. But what is more important is stopping the global warming from the CO2 emissions. Plus, the whales are being harmed by the sonar emissions. We need to find a way to defeat the enemy without using our sonar.”

who's playing cobra commander? destro? flint?

i hope they don't ham it up too much with costumes and special effects. just shoot blue and red lasers and blow up vehicles after the occupants safely eject. and is a sex scene between scarlet and lady jay too much to ask??? i think not!

comic-book guy would be pleased.

At well over 50, Quaid is waaaay too old for a proper GI Joe.

It would be nice if they somewhere pointed out that G.I. Joe was modeled on a real person (Mitchell Paige, Sgt (IIRC), USMC), who did some amazing and heroic things on Guadalcanal during the battles for Edson’s ridge. Especially since IIRC the “new” version of the figure is supposed to be some amorphous “international doer of good”, with no US connection.

Probably too much to hope for.

Since G.I. Joe now means “Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity,” I wouldn’t recommend anyone see the indoctrination movies.

Who would ever have imagined a childhood icon becoming a U.N. weenie?

Too bad The Rock didn’t get it. Were they just looking for a Caucasian GI Joe?

Quaid’s a little old isn’t he?

Dennis Quaid is one of my favorite B actors. I always thought his star would rise a little higher.

As for the rest of the cast, I only know Marlon Wayans.

Dennis Quaid!!??

The dude is a grandfather, isn’t he?

Our greatest fighting man, a “real American Hero” is going to be an old man?

This project is doomed.

Great follow up for his End of the World Global Worming epic. (I meant to do that!)

Given all the “action man” GI Joe is an acronym for the UN global world peace (BS) unit means this many not make it to film II and III. UNLESS, it goes straight to DVD.
