G.I. Joe: Retaliation

With the summer lineup we are looking at coming up, this flick would have been dismantled and sold for spare parts.

It'll probably stink out loud like the first film. I'll still see it though.
I don't know what this fascination with Bruce Willis is at this point (though he was good in Red).

Hes still cool with a gun in his hand and has charisma.

That is kind of what I thought as well. There was no way this film could stand up to the competition this summer.

Explains why I was told to pull my trailers Thursday morning.

For an old guy, sure.
This is supposed to be a young and sleek film though.
Willis has no business as a main attraction in a film like this.

[L.A. Chieffan]

I know the first one was complete cheese ball but I didnt mind it.

so it looks like the rumors were true. Paramount bumped it because they want to do reshoots with Channing Tatum whos star has grown in the past 6 months. They initially killed off his character.

His stripper movie with Soderberg (Magic Mike) looks like another winner in a few weeks.

Yeah, I think it was a no-brainer for them. Add more Tatum, make it 3D for more overseas money, avoid getting their shit pushed in by Spiderman.

I don't get the fascination with that guy, either.

Part of it was apparently that Magic Mike was direct competition and they didn't want the ladies to have to choose between naked Channing Tatum and dead Channing Tatum, and that there's some concern that the new Spider-Man would obliterate it the following week.

I didn't see the purpose of killing him off anyway. He's Duke for crying out loud.

[Deberg_1990]

I think Magic Mike looks great. Soderbergh elevates anything.

i'm sure inserting a dead character back into the narrative of an already filmed movie will only elevate the skill and nuance with which the story unfolds....


i'm imagining a crude cgi Tatum waving in the background of each scene...

. Classic



Most likely the Tatum thing is just a lazy excuse to try and prop up a crap movie. The studio knew it was crap and got scared off by Spiderman opening a few days later.
