Lorenzo di Bonaventura simply doesn't "get," G.I. JOE. He thinks that he can do with G.I. JOE the same thing he did with Transformers and that is get somebody to write a bullshit piss poor script, hire a director, and make a bullshit movie, and people will flock to see it. The thing is G.I. JOE doesn't have the allure of giant robos to compell people to see the film.
Whether JOE project is a military fantasy, sci-fi, clock-and-dagger spy thriller or based in the Sunbow universe a G.I. JOE (especially after putting up three bricks at the box office,)has to have an exceptionally good story.

Bobby Vala claims that Scott Waugh, the director of Act of Valor, and the upcoming Expendables 4, will be directing the Action Force movie.
I really enjoyed Act of Valor. It had a straight forward story and some incredible action-scenes (starring real Navy SEALS). This is what is needed for a Joe movie, IMO. |

Di Bonaventura is the Kathleen Kennedy of G.I. Joe.

Jesus Christ, this again?
Let's all remember that one big thing happened during that film's production: an industry-wide writer's strike. It's hard to have a good story when the writers aren't writing. Rise of Cobra was rushed and compromised as a result. Considering that, it's surprising it's even coherent, let alone entertaining. Let's also remember that this is a movie for what was still considered a line of kid's toys at the time. They had to make a film that would hopefully appeal to young boys too. I don't know what Retaliation's excuse is. It's just all-around poor filmmaking, but it manages to mostly be entertaining too.

I don't want to see any GI Joe live-action or even animated movies. GI Joe works as a comic and a cartoon series, but it's too goofy and hokey for anything over an hour-long runtime. And it definitely doesn't work as anything "serious." Especially if's just generic nerd "serious" like Resolute.
