"G.I. Joe" Hits the Big Screen

This Friday, the much anticipated blockbuster "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra" opens in theaters across the country.

In the film, Channing Tatum leads a super elite group of soldiers, who are trying to save the world from an evil femme fatale played by Sienna Miller.

Miller and Tatum, and their respective action figures, joined Early Show co-anchor Maggie Rodriguez to discuss the exciting blockbuster.

"I've got to say they're crazy," Tatum said about the action figures. "Have you ever seen Marlon Wayans play with your head? It's crazy! He does the most ridiculous things."

"I think they've made me better," Miller joked.

"You know you've made it big when you have your own action figure," Rodriguez said.

"G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra" is the biggest movie that each actor has been associated with, which can be daunting or exciting.

"I think it's a mixture of both. It's kind of - you relinquish control," Miller said. "You have to kind of step back after you do your job, and of course we want it to do well because that means people have responded well to it and enjoyed it."

"I grew up with the G.I. Joes in my childhood," Tatum said. "It's definitely a little daunting and a little scary to play your childhood icon."

Playing an evil Baroness was quite a thrill for Miller.

"These kinds of big movies, to be the villain is the place to be. You get great outfits. I got the great weapons. Lots of evil squints and kicking him in the head," Miller said.

The heavy outfits worn by Miller and Tatum, although eye-catching, were a challenge.

"They were amazing, horribly uncomfortable. But they look great on screen," Tatum said.

Miller even had to get physical to put her outfit on.

"Mine was difficult. It took 15 minutes and a lot of women wiggling and hopping up and down," Miller said.

When he's not battling evil, Tatum shows off his funny side.

Rodriguez put Tatum on the spot and showed a video on YouTube where Tatum does an impression of Patrick Swayze in "Dirty Dancing."

"You're going to get so many hits!" Miller said.

"I'm not a comedian. I don't do comedy. That was my first attempt at it!" Tatum said.

Miller won't be taking on comedy, but she will be taking on Broadway.
She will take on the role of Miss Julie in "After Miss Julie" written by Richard Marber.
