It's already been confirmed there will be one now, but if he doesn't come back, who would you want to take over the directing duty?

I dont see why not. I dont care what anyone says, no his movies arent grea,t but they are good summer action movies.

He did a good job IMO. He made a fun movie with likeable characters (well, except Tatum as Duke who was very flat, but he was acceptable), and I trust his vision enough to bring him back.

[batboy99]

Agreed. Though, I didnt think Tatum was that bad. The only time I felt he was bad was when he ''yelled''' attention! (Which he barely yelled)

[Timstuff]

I don't think Tatum was bad, he just didn't really leave much of an impression on me in either direction.

[batboy99]

I agree, but he didn't have ALOT to work with. Well, none of the actors did.

Duke didnt come off as the ''leader'' type, but really, it didnt seem like the role called for it.
Sure, he could have been better, but I think he did fine. He wasn't wooden or anything.
One problem is his accent. It's too ''street tough'' for Duke. if he can get rid of that, he will be even better.

Brian DePalma should direct the sequel.

Sommers is a turd of a filmmaker.

I don't mind if Sommers comes back or not but my problems with the film weren't due to anything he did.

My biggest problems were with casting. Duke was too young for the group, Channing Tatum should have played Falcon or someone else. If they wanted Duke he should have been older and in a senior position. Where was Lifeline? What kind of Spec Ops team goes into the field without a Corpsman? Snake Eyes mask should have been like FBI HRT wear, just a neoprene facemask to cover the features, not a bulletproof mouth stupid looking thing.

Also, why was the balance of power so different between GI Joe and Cobra? Sonic weapons vs. assault rifles. Didn't make sense.

And why did they wrap up The Baroness character story like that? It was very weak. What are they going to do with her now?

In the next film I'd like to see Beachhead, Flint, Lifeline, Mainframe, and other notables.

In the next film I would like to see quality.
