It is true that too many people go by reviews though.

Harry Potter is the best example to meet what you are talking about. I am not happy with the movie versions of the books, but never bothered to actually listen to critics. Still although I didn't approve of the movie versions I was still satisfied with them.

I did too. Maybe somebody could have played Duke better, but the whole major cast is signed for a sequel. Replacing him is highly unlikely. Sienna Miller and Rachel Nichols...

I had my doubts it would make enough "cha-ching" since it prodcution cost alone is $175 Million. However, they gave it the go ahead already.

I don't ever recall the cartoon being serious.

Seriously, with all the remakes and sequels coming out of Hollywood these days, it seems that just bad reviews and angry fans alone won't ever stop a movie from being made. If a poopsicle can turn a profit, by the studio executives they will be made.

I won't know if it's a bad movie until I see it with my own eyes.

This movie appeals to everybody including the international markets.

I just got home from seeing this. I really enjoyed it and am glad to hear there'll be a sequel.

I thought the movie was great. I can't wait for a sequel. I am going to go watch it again Thursday.

G.I. Joe 2 is aiming for to begin shooting in spring 2011 and possibly hit theaters in summer 2012. In an interview with MTV, producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura said that Zombieland writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick are still at work on the script so while there’s nothing final, the current thinking is to try to shoot next spring and get the film into theaters the summer of 2012. However, di Bonaventura remained cagey about which characters from the original film would return, and “It would make life a little easier to have a few less life a little easier to have a few less.” As for whether the film will be in 3D, the producer said he’d be open to it but the decision rests with Paramount and the yet-to-be-named director would also have a big say in it.

I only recently caught G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra on DVD but I thought it was a fun flick. It was the film equivalent of a kid playing with action figures and playsets, which is perfect seeing as that’s the origin of the whole property.

Whenever the sequel comes out, I'll be happy. Summer 2012 is going to be loaded with comic book movies if this does indeed come out then.

I don't think there's many characters they could really cut even if they wanted to. *Prays one of those isn't Scarlett*

Btw, the person's description of the original was pretty accurate.

superpsyched for this. nephew and i watch this all the time. goofy acting? yes (paul walker was made to play Duke). bad lines? yes. sick action? hell yes. sweet hotties? oh yeah. some of you folks need to remember what it was like to be 12 again. imagine you were 12 and you got to see the likes of gi joe, and transformers 1 n 2. i woulda freaked. take it for what it is people. life is too short to be an over-expecting, hypercritical, grumpy adult.

[Lord_Stewie]

That's why I enjoyed these movies. I don't over-analyze or expect too much... I just enjoy it for what it is... a fun action packed movie.

My only problem was Tatum, but he works well with Wayans so that helps the situation for me. They play off each other very well. Tatum still sucks, but it works. Wayans/Nichols are a great couple I can't wait to see how it unfolds. She is one hot redhead.

I can't wait for the sequel.
