G.I. JOE 2 Gets a Release Date

There's been a lot of news surrounding G.I. Joe 2 recently. For some reason the studio officially hired Justin Bieber: Never Say Never director Jon Chu to bring the G.I Joe sequel to life, and it was also revealed that Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, and Duke were the only three G.I. Joe characters returning to the franchise, which seems like a really odd choice.
Paramount Pictures has now announced that the movie will be released on August 10th 2012, and I couldn't be more NOT excited. What are your thoughts on this whole G.I. Joe sequel? Did any of you actually like the first film directed by Stephen Sommers?
