Christ I hate Christopher Eccleston from first exposure already, in G.I.Joe: Rise of Cobra here. Liked him fine& even looked forward to Doctor Who starting again, and then he went & soured himself to me once that finished. Couldn't rly stand him after that.

But then I used to have leniency 4 the "Doctor" in this, 2, SO hoping 4 even some kind of a Cobra. I'm so willing, wanting SMTH at least, forgiving a lot. At _first_.

But you go & fuck things up. Too badly 2 stay w/ it beyond a 1st attempt.

Zartan is still the sexiest thing in it though, things lighting up the moment he shows up, just doing his own thang entirely, stealing the movie from boring AF people. Getting a clean cut someone entirely wrong for Scarlett included. But if they wanted someone you want to shoot on sight, Eccleston is well placed.

Byung-hun Lee is the other star aside #ArnoldVosloo's #Zartan ofc. Just not in it enough, either of them.

@ElysiaMacht Did you see the Snake Eyes movie? It completely wrecks continuity and the two female leads are forced to share a single snarky personality, but I can't help but love it as a B-movie re-interpretation of G.I. Joe. And Takehiro Hira, Peter Mensah, Henry Golding and Andrew Koji do some amazing acting.
