Sienna hasn't harmed the G.I.Joe brand in any way. It's bigger than she is. What she has done is limit her opportunities in the future. I can think of at least one director who won't want to work with her again because she's trashed his movie and there will be many more who are wary that she'll do the same to them.

@ Arrow: Many people trash their job, but very few do it via national media outlets. It was an unclassy move. Plain and simple.

This is how I look at it... Even if RoC was done with our "Dream" Actors.. it would still have been bad.  The story was bad.  With the Writers Strike looming they rushed the script and did a bad job.  Plain and Simple. 

What I did not like from Sienna's comments was that it “It compromised my values,”  “I didn’t feel too good about myself.” 
If she just said it was a bad movie, I did not want to do another one, I would have respected her more. 

Either way, I will still see the sequel no matter how bad it is...

The first movie was what it was.  I love it.  Some people really hate it. 

The great thing is with the next movie being a re-boot of sorts, is we will get a different G.I. Joe movie.  It's vision will be very different and be a different experience.  I am excited for it.

The comics is a good example.  I love Larry Hama's work but Chuck Dixon, Mike Costa and Max Brooks all do a great job as well.  It is all the same stuff, just shown a different way.

Couple of years ago, I was discussing cartoons with a store owner I know, and I mentioned that I had worked on Yvon of the Yukon. As I said that, a lady came out from behind some of the racks in the store and proceeded to rant and berate me for working on this "insulting and horrible" cartoon. She just wouldn't let up.
I let her go at it, let hre rant until she was finished and then calmly told her that it was just a job I was hired to do, and that her reaction was all out of proportion to what the thing was, and what my involvement in it was. That and if she didn't like it, or did not like the work done on it, there was NOTHING stopping her from changing the channel and watching something else.

My kids loved Yvon of the Yukon.

They loved the Speed Racer movie.  Next Generation?  Not so much?

At the end of the day, why complain?  Do or do not.  Most times bemoaning things does nothing.  My Dad had a phrase - "Opinions are live a--holes - everyonen has one.  So what?"

I think I little tirade at work will cost me a manager spot though..........I usually don't say much.  But then I do........ :-

It's only action flick based on a toy line for crying out loud. It's not a porno, she didn't have to slaughter cute kittens, nor did she have to yell slogans for such and such brand.

Her values? I mean she read the script before signing up...right? The part is about an evil gun totting terrorist woman.
Where were her values then? It's just not cool.

More on topic, I'll probably see the sequel as well.

She is using the "compromised my values" as an excuse to save what is left of her 15 minute Hollywood career.  She was looking for the spring board leap in her career that Megan Fox got from Transformers and it didn't happen with GI JOE.  

And if the role she signed up for did really compromise her values, wouldn't you think she would have quit during the filming of the movie?  To come out and say this after the movie was released, with reviews already done, is a joke on her end.

Yeah, I'm on IMDB  too, but the entry was made by someone else.............and they got a ton of info wrong about me. I went in and tried to fix it and add to the listed filmography but the process is so tedious I gave up about 1/2 into it.
I contacted IMDB about the listing made about me ( it was done by a former student of mine and I was NOT consulted) and was told that most of the entries are NOT made by the people featured in the entry, or their reps--and that a great deal of the info is often wrong. They also cannot be bothered to go in and verify any of it either. Ugh.
