One of the thankful breaks of last week's Comic-Con was a press cocktail reception held by Paramount in honor of August's G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra. Joining weary journalists were Snake Eyes himself, Ray Park and G.I. Joe godfather Larry Hama.

Hama, part and parcel responsible for the Joe we know today, served as creative consultant on the new film and, in the video below, talks about his history as the franchise's "re-imaginer" and what the big-screen version is going to mean for the future.

The clips I've seen online suggests to me that YES it will suck-badly. I hope it doesn't for those of you that like GI JOE.

So far i find two characters annoying in this film...the english black guy's not-started-puberty accent and the guy with the giant monocle! The film still looks like a fun popcorn flick overall though...

I'm just ashamed that Hasbro promised the original G.I. Joe that Joe would ALWAYS be American, and now the movie company has made them liars.

Not that there aren't heroes in every army and culture, but G.I. Joe is meant to be from the US of A.

So how do you explain someone like Quick Kick being part of the Joe team?

"Quick Kick" alias MacArthur S. Ito was born in Los Angeles, California USA.

To my knowledge the only Joe not born in the USA was "Big Ben," an SAS officer on loan from Great Britain.
ANd this move will suck, mark my words. It's script is ludicrous and it was rushed. Very rushed. The CGI looks like crap.
