This is actually ppretty cool, I mean, it's always fun to see a familiar face in a movie, and yes, he would have ruined it if he had a big part, but a cameo should be nice!

I find it amusing when stars as big as Fraser still "geek out" and try to weasel their way into movies. Samuel L. Jackson was a big part of the Star Wars prequels, but only because he initiated contact by begging to be on screen in any way (I believe it was said that he would even settle for "storm trooper #5" as long as he was on screen.)

I guess it's just nice to see that stars are fans too. Almost like REAL people...

This movie just gets worse and worse everyday. I mean a great great grandson of his mummy character???!!!!! Suits that give them "super human powers"???!?!!! This sounds awfull. Love or hate transformers but at least it stayed farily true to the orginal comics, cartoon, toy line, etc. This movie sounds nothing like the G.I. Joe I remember.

This movie sounds like it's for my kids more than it's for me. Had to grow up sometime I guess.

Another film that looks stooooopid! But, if they have that whole "and knowing is half the battle" crap, I might actually go watch it. The fact that they all have the same outfits is dissappointing seeing that the action figures were so different looking from each other. Look like army X-Men if you ask me.

I try not to get too overly critical of a movie that hasn't been released, but after seeing some of the character photos (exception: Snake Eyes) released for this movie I have to say this looks like it's going to be a complete turd.
It looks like they may have garnered the look from that utterly horrible Japanese Crapimation version of GI Joe called Sigma 6. Hopefully, Duke won't fight on Roller Blades.
