I knew this movie was going to suck... Not for this reason, though...

I heard they didnt release the film to critics prior to release. Now we know why. It is an Obama inspired film....It will tank.

Yeah, it looks like garbage. Nothing beats the animated movie with Don Johnson as the voice of Lt. Falcon and co-starring Sgt. Slaughter as Sgt. Slaughter.

That’s so sad.
I was watching scenes of this last night during the finally of “I Survived a Japanese Game Show”. We also saw the trailer before Harry Potter.

I’m so sorry they made this suck.

Funny that Transformers (that other Hasbro franchise) got the American heroes.

I am a huge, huge child-of-the-80s nerd and I can assure you that this worthless movie isn’t GI Joe. I’ve been following this since the movie was announced and the end result is a thumb in the eye to the original storyline and characters.

Cobra!

“...an elite international force.”

.
Under the command of the UN where Americans will make the payments and will do the fighting and dieing. The first step of this take-over was to put a foreigner in the WH.
We made a terrible mistake by joining this organization in 1945 — it has been a black hole for America to put its money in.

Of the reviews that have come in on Rotten Tomatoes, it appears that the problem most have is that it is based on a toyline that involves armed soldiers. Lots of explosions and not much story. Since sometimes I just like to see stuff blow up, it sounds worth my $4 at the matinee tomorrow.

Exactly, they have destroyed it. Just like they’d do with ATLAS SHRUGGED.

I think it is a sad state of affairs when Americans even look to a doll as some sort of role model or hero.

I’m pretty sure I died at least 20 years ago and this is limbo or hell or some other dimension where nothing makes sense.

This was directed by Stephen Sommers..you know, that limey who directed “The Mummy” with that idiotic scene where one of them said “those Americans..” while on the boat. He’s got no talent and is freakin overrated.

If you think that “nuking the fridge” is the new “jump the shark”, he directed Mummy 4 and the most idiotic scene was when the Chinese girl called Yetis/Sasquatch(s) to save the hero’s family. “Calling the Yetis” should be the new norm...

"How can you take something so pure-blooded American and screw it up?"

Simple. Put hollywood liberals, who believe Castro and Che are bigger heroes than american soliders, in charge of the script and casting.

I believe that they made G.I. Joe International so when they play the movie overseas, people will attend everywhere instead of just America. It is a marketing tool not a PC tool.
