not that I'm surprised but looks like this is going to be a turd

After a test screening wherein the film tested the lowest score ever from an audience in the history of Paramount, the executive who pushed for the movie Brad Weston had Stephen Sommers, the super hack director of the film fired. Removed. Locked out of the editing room.

Stuart Baird, a renowned "fixer" editor was brought it to try to see if it could be made releasable.

HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHA


I knew it, I wont even waste my bandwidth for this movie not to mention actually paying for it,I did my fair share of paying for cinema in the last few months I will skip this fo sho.
 
Can't wait to get this on DVD. It'll be fun times.
 
You see, Destro?! Despite all your cynical naysaying my plan to have Zartan infiltrate Paramount Studios under the alias "Stephen Sommers" was a success! Thanks to his atrocious work on the GI Joe movie even Hasbro is distancing themselves from it! I've done it, Destro!

I'VE FINALLY RUINED THE JOES! COBRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Oh my god I lol'd. I... I think I love you.
 
Not surprised. When I saw the trailer in the theater, I knew it was going to suck nuts.
 
When I saw the Crysis suits scene, I knew it wasn't going to to be great at all, although I refused to believe its 100% bad, I'm sure it'll be a guilty pleasure movie at some point.
 
But it's not true...

we spoke directly with Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura about this whole firing mess and here's what he had to say:

Lorenzo: It's very unfair to Steve, it's completely untrue he was never asked to leave or been fired or any of that. That’s ridiculous. The movie tested very well.

I hear it tested as good as the first Transformers.

Lorenzo: Well listen, we tested very well and I don’t compare the movies because they are different movies, but you know I think its really destructive for a director…It hurts a guy's career when people go around talking about that he was fired or he didn’t do a good job and truth is he did a really good job. People are going to enjoy the movie and the test audiences enjoyed the movie.

He did a very good job the movie tested well and it couldn’t be more false that the studio in anyway did anything negatively to Steve.

Regardless of the veracity of the claims, we know Sommors to be a talentless hack anyway.
