Also, note the release date. August. August releases for a movie like this show the studio doesn't have much confidence in it. August is the month where the studios release summer style blockbusters that don't quite stack up, like The Mummy 3. Chances are, given the name brand of the franchise, this movie could have been a July release, like Transformers.
It also could mean that the studio didn't care about it being good. They saw it as a potential 100 million dollar total gross with a forgettable profit, and put very little into it. So they slapped it with a shitty cast and crew that was affordable, didn't give it much of a budget, and took the simplest and cheapest script possible.

It could be good. Again, I haven't seen it. I think a live action G.I Joe movie has, or had, potential to be good. I just don't see it here.
