How could anyone imagine a different result from the director that brought us Van Helsing?

How could anyone imagine a different result from the director that brought us Van Helsing?

Joe work storywise, as well as dealing with the wishes of a toy company, and making it all work. I think someone should have called Larry Hama, he knows a thing or two about how to make G.I.

How they spend millions and millions of dollars on a film and then dump it (Outlander, Idiocracy) or spending millions and millions on a film knowing it is bad the whole way through and not switching gears. Is the beast really that big to turn? Didn't they watch dailies? Editing can do miracles, but if it's this bad, I don't know. I was a GIJoe fan in my youth but I thought the film looked silly from the trailers. I'll wait to see what everyone thinks, then check it out on NetFlix.

I agree this movie should've been amazing, but it seems to have turned out to be corny with lame attempts at humor.
