I can't be the only one that think that DJ bears a striking resemblance to Rob Lowe

I feel bad for DJ Cotrona. It sounds like he was totally into it but the script really didn't give him much to work with...at least not the portions of the script that made it to the final theatrical version.
If Flint only gets as much to do in later movies as he got in this one, they'll never have time for the "arc" he'd like to portray, and let's be honest...he probably won't get much more screen time in later films, because later films will probably be introducing new characters. |

Apologies to DJ as I felt he did decently enough given the limited amount of 'emoting' his character was expected to do according to the script, but he is not Flint- younger version or otherwise. Just not enough meat on the bone to really know definitively how well he'd do if given more to work with, but from what I could see he didn't manifest the version of Flint I really expected to see. Perhaps it's the spray tan, his chiseled too handsome face, or that his acting chops could use some beefing up and seasoning, but something about his performance just didn't work for me AT ALL.
I could see the next movie completely replacing DJ if his role continues on into the next movie. Of course, I thought (and hoped) that same thing for the role of Duke going into Retaliation and they kept Channing but killed him, so perhaps they'll do the same for Flint in movie 3. Seems a huge waste of this role and its inherent opportunities, but oh well. |

I love how he said movies, we could see several more if we are lucky... as for Flint it's early days!!
I could see him growing on screen as the films progress, I am pretty sure that John Chu will be pushing for more control over the third movie and will be more character driven as opposed to it being about Holywood persona like it was with 2, other than the ninja scenes rock did steal the show. From what we have been hearing they seem keen to develop Flint so I am sure the best is yet to come with him! What would be cool would be giving him a sub team, say like Tiger force which he can controll, that would be cool!! Maybe they could battle Destro's new invention for CC.... Python Patrol!! Destro has a new mask for this one because CC used his Nano bots to bring back FF and Zartan!!

Hopefully he's a Warrant Officer instead of a Sgt. 1st Class in the next one. I mean that's how we all remember his designation right there on the toy packaging, plain as his beret and shotgun. Give him some helo aviation skills too, next time.

Reading this thing was so difficult, do they not have editors, or someone reading the thing before it's posted?
"To prepare for filming, Cortrona trained with Team Temp out of Los Angeles and utilized a body [I assume they mean body double] for some of the death defying scenes in the movie. It turns out that some of the cast was injured during filming, and Cotrona accidentally broke someone's broken nose." Maybe it was a pre-existing condition? |

That would be awesome, Flint coming through with an air cavalry with Wild Bill or Lift Ticket as his wingman!

I am really into the John Chu GI JOE. I am interested to see what Dj Cotrona comes out with these next couple of years. Good for all of them. Retaliation was a awesome movie and a great direction for GI JOE to go.
Loved the soundtrack too. Saw it a 2nd time last night.

It must stink to be told all this stuff about your character, you're really into it, and watch the movie and see nothing translates to the screen.
I think Retaliation would have been better had they had a rivalry between Duke and Flint. Duke (SPOILERS) sacrifices himself to save Flint. Flint, over the course of the film, has to step up and find the leadership skills inside him to lead the Joes. Roadblock should have been there as the team's emotional core to challenge/guide Flint into accepting leadership. |
