G. I. Joe Live Action Movies are making headlines again… but not for a good reason. Actor Channing Tatum who played Duke on both Rise Of Cobra and Retaliation stated that as much as he loved G. I. Joe, he hates Rise Of Cobra.
Of course he revealed that he has signed up for a three movie deal, so… we might see him again on G. I. Joe 3.
“I f—ing hate that movie.” The “Magic Mike XXL” star told Howard Stern on Tuesday, “I was pushed into doing that movie … they give you the contract and they say, ‘Three-picture deal, here you go.’ And as a young — you’re thinking, ‘Oh my god, that sounds amazing. I’m doing that!’”
But Tatum said he was reluctant to take the part after he found success with other films. “The script wasn’t any good … I watched it every morning, like, growing up,” Tatum said, “and I didn’t want to do something that I thought was 1. bad, and 2. I didn’t know if I wanted to be G.I. Joe.”
During the last Hasbro financial call, CEO Brian Goldner mentioned that the 3rd movie is in production stage. This could mean that the movie is at least on the pre-production stage at the moment.

He's right - the script sucked a big dick. However, his acting was some of the worst I've ever seen.

I'll I can say is right back atcha sport. I hated you in Rise of Cobra. SO you weren't happy about the role? Maybe you should have been a professional and done a better job. On the plus side, he made Marlon Wayans look like Sidney Freakin' Poitier so there's that.

When Tatum was in high school, he was in special ed. He says he always knew that he wasn't that smart, because he was in special ed, even though he also knew he that didn't really belong there. He was just too quiet to speak up. And he assumed that if he was placed there, then that meant he wasn't that smart.
His story inspired me to aggressively pull my pre-K son (with speech impairment) out of special ed.

That's something my 7 y/o daughter would do. She doesn't like to clean her room so she does a half ass job at it.
Tatum Channing doesn't like a script so lets do a half ass job at it.
What a disaster these movies have been. The should have just re-released "They Live." It stared someone in the Joeverse, and gave you what you wanted. Over the top fighting with campy lines. Hopefully, GIJ3 will just be a reboot. Why not. Fantastic Four is.
Didn't mean to rant but Tatum Channing, your dislike for the movie showed.
