GI Joe is the codename for American's daring, highly trained
special mission force.
It's purpose, to defend human freedom against Cobra-
a ruthless, terrorist organization determined to rule the world.

[Silver Knight]

^Thanks.

Except we wont be seeing ANY of this in the film.

[Silver Knight]

^What will we be seeing in the film?

[CaptainAmerica]

The movie is based on the cartoon/comic book series about a special ops team code named "G.I. Joe."

^Thanks for the link, im going to read up on it now.

What year does the movie take place in?

[CaptainAmerica]

I'm pretty sure it's supposed to take place 10 years in the future.

[Silver Knight]

^Why would they do that?

Movies like that always dont turn out right..

[terry78]

Basically the origin of COBRA, and in turn the origin of the GIJOE team we all know of.

[KSC]

It's about time they fired everyone involved and started over.

[Silver Knight]

^What you mean by that?

[Dr. Evil]

Except for Dennis Quaid and Ray Park, the cast isn't that great. For Pete's Sake, the movie has one of the Wayans Brothers.

[RickO'Connell]

The old opening theme songs pretty much say what G.I. Joe is & does

Silver Knight I ain't gonna sugar coat this. This movie is gonna suck. It has nothing to do with the 80's cartoon/Toyline. Read the link I sent you then Go to http://www.myuselessknowledge.com/joe/ to read up on the characters in the film. If you can pick up a few issues of G.I.Joe: Real American Hero comic from the 80's and 90's. Then compare them. And then you'll know. And knowing is half the battle.

[Silver Knight]

^Dude your awesome. I can not thank you enough.

Hope you have a great day pal.

[Kokoryu1]

Enjoy my friend, Enjoy.

[Adam]

Looks pretty bad but I'll wait for trailer.

[DELINQ]

G.I.J.O.E. is the acronym for the Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity.
Its purpose: to defend the New World Order against M.A.R.S.-
a Scottish arms manufacturer determined to make a profit.

Fixed.

Does anyone think this movie has a chance in hell of being good?

[Kokoryu1]

I can't see how anyone who has read a G.I. Joe comic would ever think this crapfest will have a chance in hell.

[Terror Inc.]

Im gonna go out on a limb here, but I think the movie is about the rise of Cobra.

[Gotham'sKnight]

I used wikipedia...brenden frasier is in the film. He says his charecter in g.I. Joe is a descendant of rick o'connell? Are u serious? And marlon wayans? Set ten yrs into the future? Omg!!!?? Any hopes of a good movie have been shattered

As a G.I. JOE fan from the 80's who watched the old cartoon show and collected the figs, I'd say...no.
