It’s a shame as (admittedly going purely by the trailer – always a risk) it looks like being a big ball of goofy action movie fun, replacing daft accelerator suits and JGL’s bizarro Cobra Commander with Bruce Willis, Dwayne Johnson & his amazing biceps and (my fave bit) former-Punisher Ray Stephenson as a character I was always pyched to see show up in the original comic book: the mercenary Firefly (I seem to remember every time he showed up it normally ended in someone dying or something big taking place…)

They’ll have lost so much money by the time it comes back, I think they’ll never bring up another GI Joe movie again. I was all ready to see it at the cinema and I now I’ll probably wait til DVD.

I’d actually almost forgotten about this one(!), although it has been pretty funny to still see clips cropping up in the “Summer of Cinema” montage ads at the local pictures.
I can’t see though how Paramount can expect to make that much more money on this, considering that 3D films are not performing anywhere as well as expected, and Hasbro must be taking them for a good chunk of change over lost revenue from the Retaliation line they had begun rolling out & now have had to delay…
