I think that the problem with movies and tv shows today is that actors aren't very masculine anymore. You don't have that macho charisma that we got in the 80s. You don't have many characteres like Dutch or Snake Plisken or even Cpl Hicks. It seems like being a badass isn't cool these days but rather being a metrosexual playboy who gets into wacky zany antics is. I suppose a lot of it has to do with the sex-appeal of this time and age.... Once again I go back to Band of Brothers. Young actors mixed with older. Most were unknown at the time but all were the best possible for their respective roles. Even dude from Friends gave a good performance. My point is there is a way to do this right without breaking your budget on names. Look, people will go see this movie regardless of who is in it. That is a given. But they should give the core audience what they want. The rest will surly fall in place. That is what they did with Batman Begins. |

He was in the US Navy and was in the service for 5 or 6 years. I have never asked him about what rank he held when he was in the service (although now I am curious).

I haven't really followed the movie cast yet. I have seen some of the actors and actresses and i am familiar with some of them. I kinda have mixed feelings on this subject. If the acting is great, i will forget about the age of the cast. It's true, we are getting older and i always looked up to gi joe as somewhat as an older more experienced team. That being said, this movie is going to be geared towards kids as well as collectors. If this movie had been made when we were younger, the age of the actors might not matter as much. But if those same people made a movie today, roles would be filled by people such as Bruce Willis, Sylvester Stallone, and Tom Sellick and children would not want to watch alot of old men trying to save the country from their wheelchairs.
I do hope this movie kicks ass, because the toy line has for many years... |
