He is black dude. His dad was Rocky Johnson, google em.
Basically!
The president of the U.S. is half white yet people still say he's Black...
but as Roadblock is just miscast.
And here I always thought Roadblock is a black dude. =/
He looks fantastic, hopefully that's the outfit he wears throughout the movie and doesn't switch to some generic black leather get up.
Terry Crews is a better pick but who cares? They will just butcher the source material anyway.
Dwayne Johnson is black. Well, half black. His father, former wrestler, Rocky Johnson, is black and his monther, Ata Maivia, is Samoan..
I guess you wanted someonw who is, more black?
Once again another miscast. Dwayne Johnson is a good actor & I enjoy his movies BUT, he's not African-American & I don't think he can play Roadblock. They probably will also change his personality & the ryhmes will be left out.
I've got nothing wrong with Dwayne Johnson & would actually have him cast as another character or even as Alpine, but as Roadblock is just miscast.
at some of these posts.
I think that should end the "The Rock doesn't look like Roadblock."
Wrong again.
Terry Crews is a better pick but who cares? They will just butcher the source material anyway.
and before people drag out the ol "they're butchering the source material' excuse....anyone remember the direct to video GI Joe things from a few years ago, the ones that Hasbro directly produced....well here's what happened in one of those...Valor Vs. Venom....General Hawk gets kidnapped and turned into some sort of snake hybrid thing and do you all know how GI Joe saves the day? with ****ing paintball guns....YES...paintball guns and some kids they were playing with on a playground earlier in the movie
You obviously never saw the direct to dvd movie they did AFTER that: Resolute...which was ten times more awesome than either live action movie. Yes I'll say it before GI Joe 2 is even out. Resolute was that good. Faithful yet it took GI Joe into the 21st century at the same time.
I don't think a fan can ask for anything more than that. But at the same time it was far more serious than Joe usually is and I can appreciate The movies being made for kids. The franchise IS primarily for kids and they should have something they like. But then again I WAS a kid when I read the Marvel comic and it got pretty serious and I loved it. I loved it for not talking down to me.
I was about 7 or 8 when DIC did the goofy PC version GI Joe and I thought it sucked a**.
I did see it, even own it on DVD...my point was that the source material is varied, good and bad not just what YOU may prefer
5 different animated series, a number of DTVs, and the comics is the source material....and Hasbro/Paramount is trying to "fix" what went wrong with the first film....what more do you want? someone on bended knee begging for forgiveness?
