The good news is that this summer’s release of G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra is based on the Marvel comic series that began in 1982 (and ran for over 150 issues and 12 years) and not on the animated TV series (so we needn’t worry about a “Knowing is half the battle” PSA after the credits, right?).
Issue #1 (1982)
I won’t go so far as to say “the bad news is” but this is a certainly interestingly cast international group of actors appearing. I like seeing Ray “Darth Maul” Park cast as Snake Eyes (but will he be wearing risers in his boots?). I also like seeing Sienna Miller as The Baroness, just because I like seeing Sierra Miller. However what must be the most surprising casting is “3rd Rock from the Sun”‘s Josepg Gordon-Levitt as Cobra Commander. Twenty-seven year old Gordon Levitt has been an indie film sweetheart over the past few years, and this is certainly the biggest movie he has ever played a role in.
We can also “look forward” to seeing Dennis Quaid as Hawk (tentative thumbs up) and Marlon Wayans as Ripcord (reserving judgment).

I have to admit that this movie has me very, very nervous… apparently the actors were all told to “overact” in every scene, and the Joe team all wear some sort of bionic exo-skeleton that allows them to run faster than cars, jump over buildings, etc.. If they are going for a parody, then it might work. If they are going for a semi-serious action film… then I’m not so sure. I guess we won’t know until we have seen it.
And knowing is half the battle! (I couldn’t resist.)

A part of me says it is hard to mess up high-tech secret-ops ninjas, but I am fearing the Transformers redux, that too much is never enough. I agree with you, there are fears.
