I just got through watching "Stop-Loss" with Ryan Phillippe, Channing Tatum, and Joe Levitt. It's actually a good movie and not as preachy as I thought it would be. While Phillippe was the star and Tatum was the supporting actor, Tatum had enough scenes to show off his acting talent.
After getting a better look at Tatum, I think physically he's a good choice for Duke. He's a big guy with a squared jaw and All-American good looks. Tatum's acting was very natural and not forced or fake. While the Real American Hero Duke is older and more of a hardened veteran, I feel that Tatum, as a younger Duke, can pull off the qualities that Duke projects. I, now, am very comfortable with Tatum portraying the Joe's Top-Kick, Duke. Joe Levitt had a smaller role and did a good job. He had a scene where his character was angry at his wife and shooting their wedding gifts. You could see a little of a maniacle side come out. While I'm not sold on Levitt as Cobra Commander, it will be interesting to see how he handles it. I'm still not sold on the movie, but the only way I feel some of these actors will do a bad job will be because of the writing or directing. The movie won't be the Joes we grew up with, but I think there will be some good moments in the movie. NOTE: Please don't respond if you want to be negative for the sake of being negative. If you want to contribute to an honest conversation, it would be appreciated.

Good to see somebody not openly attacking the actors. Haven't seen stop-loss, although it's on my watch list. I am going to giv it a chance, even though I am concerned about it. I really wannt to see a trailer, and pics or Destro, CC and Zartan before I begin to form any kind of real opinion.

that's crazy talk. Duke was never a young soldier. he emerged from the womb in his mid 30's dressed in a khaki shirt and green pants, and never changed his clothes once. any deviation from that isn't G.I. Joe.

As funny as that is, a lot of people seem to think that. i am going to try to give them the benefit of the doubt, at least until I see something.

I wanted a live action joe movie back when i was a kid.
I never got it. I havn't been waiting or pining for it, So now that it's coming, i'm looking forward to it. it could be good, it could be bad. I don't know. I don't have anything invested in it other than the $12 and 2 hours. I'll see it, I'm looking forward too it. But if it's bad, it's not going to ruin the line or my summer. bottom line, it can't be worse the the animated movie, or the DIC massacre it really can't.

The fact that his car was broke into while he was in Memphis made me feel real good about home even though it was accurate! lol

Off Topic - Has anyone else realized that Duke's uniform is basically a Boy Scout uniform? Khaki shirt, green pants, and his bandolier represents the Boy Scout merit badge sash.
