I only wish the movie was as good as the Sunbow cartoon. It's pretty sad when the plot, dialogue and acting in your movie is worse than in a 20-year-old children's cartoon. And the action scenes are boring-er. And you invent something as stupid as accelerator suits, an idea the cartoon would have laughed out of the writers' room.

I think it's funny how the title of the thread says, Channing Tatum dislikes GI Joe Rise of Cobra, but yet he says that he "fucking hated it".

I said it then and I will say it now. It was a bad movie. It is okay to be a fan of something and not like an aspect of one of the aspects of that something so long as they are critical reasons bound with supporting evidence and not just because you dislike something (or like it) to be contrary.

and suddenly it is 2009 all over again. Thanks Channing for being honest but looks like you ripped open old wounds at the same time.

In terms of plot points and structure, Rise of Cobra was EXACTLY like a Sunbow mini series turned into live action, only with amped-up violence for that coveted PG-13 rating. And the old writers would have written an entire army of accelerator suits into the Sunbow cartoon if Hasbro told them to so they could sell toys of them. Pretending otherwise is either being willfully ignorant over how the old toon operated or blinded by nostalgia colored glasses.
I don't criticize the nanomites as an idea for a weapon, but using it as a device to give most of the Cobras their identity and origin was incredibly crappy. It again sucked the individuality out of the characters and made them too similar. All the 1980s media thrived on the diversity of the characters. I can't think of many similarities between a Sunbow mini-series and ROC at all. Number one, all the Sunbow mini-series split up the team into different divisions and sent them to far corners of the world. That just didn't happen here. The movie didn't capture the sense that G.I. Joe is a large team juggling a big number of diverse characters at all. It just turned them into a single, small Mission: Impossible-style team. And the sequel moved even further in that direction.

The Accelerator suits were an old movie pitch of Sommers that never made it to the screen because no studio would buy the movie.
They were put in there by Sommers so he could see his "vision" on the big screen finally. It is in the DVD commentary or one of the extras IIRC

The Sunbow cartoon was good, but anyway. Channing Tatum hated RoC, I also heard that Pete Rose bet on baseball as a player/manager.

I could of care less for the actor who plays Duke. I don't mind seeing a third Joe live action film Duke or no Duke. How about having Lt. Falcon with a new actor take the role since Falcon is the half brother of Duke in the G.I. Joe the Movie 1987? If the actor doesn't seemed to enjoy the role in Rise of Cobra and Retaliation. Does this means no more G.I. Joe 3? I sure hope not. I hope the Joe line doesn't die again even the actor won't return as Duke.
