The first movie sucked for so many reasons but the thing that made me mad the most was Scarlett and RipCord together, two people that never even looked at each other in the comic books, all us fanboys lived with the Duke/Scarlett twist even tho from the start she was with Snake Eyes in the comics. But RipCord that was just a slap in the face.

Killing Duke off early was the biggest sign that the whole movie suck. I mean the guy joins G.I.Joe and quickly rises to be the best of the best at the ending just so he could die as soon as the sequel starts rolling. Even if he survives after this rewriting it still doesn't shake the fact that the movie has some serious problems.

Maybe they could "Wild Bunch" the whole cast.
Then the next sequel could be two solid hours of explosions, with no distracting dialog or plot.
Oh, but it's gotta be in 4D, that's a dealbreaker.

I remember back when the Transformers movie of the 80s came out, and they Killed Optimus Prime, all the kids were ballin' because their favorate character died. The GI Joe movie from the same time had intended to kill off Duke, but due to the reactions of people, they only had him put in a coma. I wonder if that's what will happen, maybe instead of Duke dying, they'll stick him in a coma, keeping his character alive, yet idle for the movie.

"but in what will be regarded as one of the worst decisions to be made in recent memory, they decided to kill off Channing Tatum early on in the movie"

Mental note to skip Kevin Jagernauth articles in the future, clearly an idiot with his finger far from the pulse of the people

CHIP, you really think Blu-ray/DVD sales are going to account for around $700 million? That is absurd. A film is technically successful when it triples its budget at the box office. And even with Blu-ray/DVD sales, it didn't make the $525 million. Not to mention the marketing push.

So when you couple all of that with the stars they had and the popularity of the franchise, its a disappointment.

Will the extra scenes include Mr. Tatum with his shirt off? After his striptease movie – it's kind of expected. I liked the 1st movie because it moved very very fast. It really didn't slow down for any plot or character development or back story or other inconveniences.

KEVIN JAGERNAUTH – clearly you are an idiot and I quote….

" The first film by Stephen Sommers was a disappointment, to say the least, taking in a modest $300 million worldwide (not a great figure when the budget not including P&A was $175 million)…."

First of all that is 300 million box office – now add home entertainment and TV and your have a figure much closer to a billion dollars.

Please for the love of God – Let me have the disappointments –

What I don't get is that everyone who watched GI joe originally is at least in the mid to late 20's. Which means they should have gone Hard R. This movie will not tank due to Willis and the rock, plus with additional Tatum teens all around the world will go see the abortion of a film. Personally I will not be seeing this because I find the whole idea dumb in PG-13 stupid people territory. I am sorry that Hollywood has no balls anymore.
