At first there was doubt that this Hasbro toy line could make the jump to the big screen as successfully as the Transformers did. Paramount Pictures, the studio releasing the movie, has been fighting mixed reactions to the trailers from fans of the original cartoon, along with false rumors of creative disputes and bad reactions from test screenings.

The baddies in question are pumped full of "nano machines" to explain why they conveniently evaporate postmortem and engaging them takes the form of a depressingly dull series of gunfights.

Sienna Miller – costume sufferer
Fashion is great when it is also comfortable and practical. If it’s not, it becomes a problem - problem to move, breathe and feel at ease. It was exactly this what happened to actress Sienna Miller during the filming of “G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra”.
Starring as The Baroness in the upcoming action film, Sienna had to wear a skin-tight leather costume which limited her movement a lot. The outfit was so restrictive that Sienna had to resort to being transported around the set on an “ironing board with wheels”.

Joe Stop-Motion Film Festival, a traveling cinematic circus which stops at the 92Y Tribeca this Saturday night.

Sienna Miller loved being "a proper villain"
The actress enjoyed indulging her evil side for the big-screen comic book adaptation 'GI Joe: The Rise of the Cobra'.
She said: "The script was brilliant, the role was brilliant. She's a proper villain!"
However, Sienna says the director Stephen Sommers initially said she wasn't tall enough to make the role a success.
She explained: "I think the first thing he said to me was, 'You're really short! But then, of course, with the wardrobe and the make-up. I don't look like a villain when you meet me, but I do in the film."
