So the concept is Duke is BFF with "rex", Baroness's baby brother and he gets killed in battle. Which will turn out to Cobra Commander... like the old timey terrible script? El Mambiye better come in and hit us with some knowledge that is reassuring again. I hated the leaked reviews and feared the already basic overused action plotline was going to get the usual "neighborhood" treatment. For some reason a villian has to grow up with the hero and two villians have to have a close relationship. I would almost expect George W. and Saddam were on the same Tennis team. It's just really bad writing. |

i think he looks decent, i would have picked someone a little older, but i don't think he looks that off.

Very Interesting. Bc Rex Is Duke's Best Friend In The Movie And Becomes Cc. Since The Baroness' Brother Dies He Most Likely Uses Her Hatred For The U.s. Government To Turn To The Dark Side Along With Him. Something Tells Me A Big Spoiler Is That Cc And/or The Baroness Were Joes Or Somewhat Military Experienced Before They Turned To The Dark Side And Formed Cobra. Hmmmmm? Also Very Interesting Bc Maybe Duke And Rex Were Not Only Best Friends But Both G.i. Joe. So They Can Use That As To The Reason Why Cobra Is Such A Threat. Why? Bc Rex/cc Knew The Inside Info On The Joes Before He Turns To The Darkside And Uses That To His Advantage In Creating Cobra. Hmmmmm? If I'm Right That Would Be A Great Back Story. This Movie Is Gonna Do Right By Us Fans. I Think Hasbro Really Made Sure This Project Will Be A Hit And Can Possibly Be Our Next Generation Star Wars Trilogy Type Of Series Bc Of How Deep The Mythology Of G.i. Joe Runs. Now If G.i. Joe Turns Out To Be A Hit Maybe They Can Possibly Intertwine G.i. Joe And Transformers In An Epic Battle Of Good Vs Evil With G.i. Joe/autobots Vs Cobra/ Decepticons.

Hasbro already said they want to keep the two franchises seperate. So don't hold your breath on seeing a TF/Joe crossover movie. |

Ha ha, I forgot about Raising Arizona, that was a funny show. I dont like Cage beyond that one either. He was much better in his comedies.
Those pictures of Channing as Duke are sickening. Honestly he looks the complete opposite of what the character represents. Duke is more Captain America like and this douchebag is pretty much a GQ pretty boy. Yuck yuck yuck. I am not saying the movie will be bad but certain parts of it I think arent looking too promising.. |

He looks fine enough for me, but again, they could've casted Chris Evans for the role.

I think Duke looks great. If he had the "blond" hair a la the cartoon and comic, it would have probably looked a little . . . umm . . strange. Anyway, his hair could be a dirty blond. Really, though, I don't think it will make that much difference in the long run.
I know that this is all anyone has seen of the movie so far, but most of you are being way to critical of it . . . some even pull out the old "I could have cast this / directed this better" line. Yea I'm sure you could. Right. Are you in the production business? Have you been in it? Doubt it. So unless you have some good years under your belt in production, casting or directing, stop armchair quarterbacking the damn thing. Give it the benefit of the doubt until something solid comes our way. Otherwise you end up sounding like a jackass. If larger pieces start to come in and we find that Baroness is a wheelchair confined Stephen Hawkings lookalike and the movie is based around GI Joe trying to save a rainforest from Cobra cutting it down. you can bitch all you want. |

I remember this happening with the Transformers movie. Everyone was pissed off about something they were doing to it. Look how good it turned out to be. At least it didn't flop like all the J-LO X- Boyfriends movies she made, even the most recent one flopped..... HEH HEH
