I think all responses to this thread need to be clarified, really. What are the goals of the changes?
To make it more personally satisfying? ring more true to the source material (what source?)? more appealing to the existing fanbase? sell more toys? more criticial respect? more box office success? Two things are for certain--the movies as they were did none of the above with great success--and there doesn't appear to be an idea or change that does all or even most of above. The only idea I have: give the property to Marvel Studios.

What indication is there that Marvel is asking Hasbro to make the Joe movies and Hasbro simply won’t let them? |

I don't think the movie is salvageable without a rewrite, recast and new director.
Rewatching it the other month, it's unbelievably cringy now. It's hard to get through without mocking it every other scene. But if I could change anything without outright replacing the film, it'd be changing Ripcord to Tunnelrat and put Scarlett in the Night Raven at the end. |

Make it animated, follow Hama's storyline, set it in the early 80's, and give it the feel of the "Find out in Marvel comics!" commercials.

Sunbow was co-produced by Marvel lol. And also marvel will most likely NOT make a GI Joe movie I was just agreeing with someone who said it would be better if Marvel made it instead of Paramount.

Casting: Channing Tatum could have been an amazing Duke. He needed a better director.
Scarlett was excellent. Snake Eyes needed to loose the lips, but was excellent. Hawk was great. Breaker was horrible. Heavy Duty should have been a different actor, and Roadblock. Ripcord should have not been in the movie. His whole story line was stupid and forced. Destro was okayish. Too bad Connery was retired. What was Christopher Lambert doing? The Baroness was a horrible choice. So was Cobra Commander, even though he is a great actor. Zarana and Storm Shadow were perfect. Storyline was the issue. While I loved the concept of Nanomites and it was a very Cobra like scheme, they should have made COBRA an existing terrorist ogainization who already had the technology. The Doctor and Cobra Commander should have been two different people, and the Doctor should have been Dr. Venonm. Destro should have been playing both sides, sending a counter to the Nanomite warheads with Duke’s team and feeding Cobra the location of the convoy. The story could have stayed the same from that point on. The DUKE/ Baroness/Rex story should be totally rewritten and involved Destro sweeping Anastasia off her feet after her brother’s death. Rex could have been revealed as Dr. Venom, and she could have still been manipulated by the forcibly injected Nanomites. The last scene on the Flagg should have involved her placing a homing device on the ship after her and Duke’s moment. My casting changes: Asia Argento as the Baroness, Gerard Butler as Destro, Charlie Adler as the voice of Cobra Commander (with a stuntman in the suit), Joseph Gordon Levitt could remain as Rex/Doctor Venom. DeWayne Johnson should have played Roadblock. To keep the comedic element and the cute romance, add Flint in Ripcord’s place, and write in Lady Jaye for the Romantic dribble. Ryan Reynolds could play Flint, and Olivia Wilde would be a great Lady Jaye. Anyway... while I have my fantasy ROC! |

I thought Retaliation was overall much more in the spirit of Joe, but leveling Paris in RoC and then London in Ret. is king of unforgivable. That would completely change the world landscape, and it's hard to feel like you won when the villians destroyed a city and got away.

To be fair, that's not a role that's really at odds with her area of expertise. It's not as if they were expecting her to operate a suit of powered armour five minutes after joining the team... |

My previous post stems from something I thought initially watching the first two Transformers movies, which mostly annoy me. When watching his scenes with the military, I told myself: Michael Bay should be making a Joe movie instead. I hate Michael Bay movies, but I love G.I. Joe, and part of that thought still rings true to me. But for what ends? Anyway...
Lady Doomsday, Code Name: Sea Strike!, Swampfire!, Yearbook #2, Walk through the Jungle, issues 40-50 (Cobra Island & Battle of Springfield), and the Cobra civil war (#73-76). Lay off the ninja stuff (leave it for the Snake-Eyes movie), and stay clear of the outright fantasy stuff like Serpentor. Retaliation was by far superior to Rise of Cobra. The only things I would keep from RoC were Scarlet, Storm Shadow, and the Baroness (her looks only, story was garbage). |

However, Ripcord used his power-suit without reading the instructions... :-)

The Rescoring with Sunbow music helped this movie a great deal, but the Duke-Baroness-Rex-Destro quadrangle was a travesty.
