In Response To Christopher Eccleston Loathing G.I. Joe
This Actor should never be allowed near a G.I. Joe Movie set ever again and would never be welcome by the fans after that rant. He comes off as if the role was beneath his feet. I don’t think Eccleston understands the gravity of the role and what could have been. It’s like getting the role of Darth Vader and hating on the role front to back. You had a chance to be a part of a killer franchise universe as one of it’s greatest characters and you pooped all over it. The least you could have done was work out for the role, I mean have you seen Destro? Your just another reason why this movie franchise needs a deep reboot-reset.

I’m more surprised to hear he enjoyed being on any set, honestly.

Eccleston has been bitching about GI Joe for years.
He sucked as Destro, BTW, but you could say that about pretty much anything in ROC.

Yeah, I hear he's a big-time dick and pretty difficult to deal with.

Eccleston is a bit of a “luvvy” as we call them in the UK. He clearly has his views on what acting jobs he wants to be known for or what he thinks is meaningful. He’s done some good drama in the UK and perhaps he is a bit uncomfortable about his more mainstream work. Trouble is, like most actors he needs to pay the bills and he does work he is less than proud of. He should probably just take the money and keep quiet.
He comes across as quite dismissive of those roles that aren’t seen as serious drama and usually blames the film makers for not letting him play it as he wanted to. He suggests that his vision was far superior. See also Doctor Who and Thor 2.

Dude sounds like a pain in the arse.
I prefer Michael Caine's attitude, a guy who'll appear in almost anything, when asked about a bad movie he was in (Jaws 4) "I have never seen it, but by all accounts it is terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built, and it is terrific."
RolandofGilead says
Yeah, ever since I learned about his complaints after working on Doctor Who, and his refusal to take part in any way with the franchise now, I really don't give a flying **** about his opinion.

The first Destro at the beginning was better, but I read he had visa issues or something that prevented him from being the main Destro.
