More than delaying the movie, this has ensured that Joe fans will get crappy movie figures for TWO YEARS instead of the awesome infuriatingly hard to get figures that were coming out. Two years!

Two years of awful Rock and Bruce Willis repaints! The horror. The horror.

Post conversion 3D sucks. Hasbro/paramount should've been shooting it in 3D all along with their billions from Transformers. Instead we get this BS. Battleship actually made $, with combined domestic & international gross, just not as much as the greedy execs wanted. It's their fault for taking the gamble and spending $220+ mill on a first time movie based on a board game. Wth were they thinkin?

The only bright spot for Joe fans is that Hasbro will have more time to make the figures & fix things if needed.

The figures are still coming out. My Wal Mart has already gotten the first wave.

I smell Michael Bay...I know he's involved somehow!

i don't see how the news of the GI Joe movie being delayed is in any way related to Transformers toys?

Epic FAIL! This should be rebooted from the beginning and stay true to its roots.

1.Snake Eyes and Stormshadow........brothers in arms not this fake jealousy/rivalry schtck they rammed into our throats.

2.The Baroness should be ultra left uber rich revolutionary not some mind wiped blond bimbo

3.G.I.Joe should be the Real American Hero

4.Cobra Commander? Well the origin either be the Cobra-La or Larry Hama's (both are equally good)

Otherwise, this will sink faster than "Battle Shit........Ship" in a clunker fest contest between it and John Carter.

Who the hell still says "epic fail" in 2012?

Who the hell still says "epic fail" in 2012?

Tons of people. Like, almost the entire internet.

Anyways, I'm with those who think the production company and execs got spooked. They would be competing with Spider-Man and many other movies (not sure if Dark Knight Rises would have been close enough to be considered competition). Nothing a brand like G.I.Joe could compete with.

Wanna save GI Joe? Try taking a page out of the Avengers/Marvel films.

Picture this: After the credits, have the Secretary of Defense call Duke to a private meeting and tell him they are merging the Joes with another special operations task force. And then the SoD hands Duke a folder with the NEST logo on the cover and have Lennox and Epps walk out of the shadows and say "Yo Joe!"

Easy scene to produce and add on prior to the new March release, finally an excuse for the Joe/TF crossover toyline everyone wants to see and sets up an enemy for the next TF film. And it will let GI Joe ride the coattails of one of Hollywood's biggest franchises to a new era of success.

Win. Win. Win. Win.

I wouldn't mind seeing that.. Joes and transformers working together the entire movie, which would hopefully mean more robot screen time.

it's a great idea~! .. which is why you can't work for hasbro, they don't allow such things over there.

.. for those of you wining that "this isn't transformers news" .. well, don't open the page, don't read the story, don't comment in the thread, simple.

A TF/Joe crossover film would make sense. So it is unlikely.

As for this not being Transformers news, it's not, and I'm not "wining" anything. Just noting a particular discrepancy in this news article not being about the Transformers brand, which is what this website is about, surely?
