I definitely had that toy. And that tube that ran to his mouth definitely got lost on the first day of play.

my mom sold all my GI Joe toys when I got older at a yard sale

New trailer lowers expectations even further:

I actually cringed when I saw this...

4/30/2009 8:27:50 PM

my lord

they've gone so far from the source material it's staggering



even if they used the early Vietnam-vet plot issues from the old comics from the 80s, it would still be well-written

oh well

i guess it's a toy

4/30/2009 8:57:44 PM

As I suspected. It doesn't have shit on Resolute.

4/30/2009 8:59:17 PM

At least the special effects in transformers are good.

4/30/2009 9:17:10 PM

The trailer moved the movie from the 'will never see' to the 'will see one day' category for me. It looks like it will be so bad that I'll actually want to see it some day. Certainly not at my monetary expense though.

Looked on par with Core and it looked like it had potential to replace the Mummy 2 for all time worst effects for a big budget film.

5/1/2009 8:09:29 AM

^ This movie is not helping the resale value of my GI Joes from childhood. This looks like it has all the makings of that shitty Hulk movie.

5/1/2009 12:45:32 PM

Sienna Miller looks much, much hotter as the baroness than she does normally. dark hair

5/12/2009 3:32:14 AM

friend said the audience booed the trailer of this at the star trek movie

5/12/2009 4:14:33 AM

Yeah, someone in the theater where I saw it yelled out "they broke GI Joe!"

5/12/2009 8:04:45 AM

oh wow at that trailer
this doesnt look anything like GI Joe; almost like a transformers meets independence day meets iron man meets something shitty .. lol

5/12/2009 9:39:04 AM

entirely too much cgi

have directors/producers not learned at this point that you can overdo the cgi?

5/12/2009 10:22:14 AM

this doesnt look anything like GI Joe; almost like a transformers meets independence day meets iron man meets the director of the Mummy movies.

Why are they all wearing Iron Man suits? I thought they were just supposed to be a bunch of American bad asses that saved the world based on how bad ass they were, and lasers.

5/12/2009 1:40:37 PM

The trailer I saw for this made it look way more like Iron Men than G.I. Joe.

5/12/2009 2:03:59 PM

I think it looks terrible. No one I've talked to has even been able to tell that it's GI JOE until the title actually appears

5/12/2009 2:07:26 PM

VS



is not a good omen.

5/13/2009 2:23:25 PM

Ray Park as Snake Eyes may well be the only thing in this movie worth watching.

5/13/2009 2:47:49 PM

I'm not gonna lie, I think the armor in the trailer was cool

but that's because I really like armor technology

5/13/2009 6:15:44 PM

I for one, think it looks interesting. No reason to try to make the original GI Joe story. And the movie is more for teenagers/kids anyway. They like CGI, Technology, and high tech nonsense. I will be there to see it, simply b/c I enjoy movies and actually think it looks decent enough to enjoy.

""G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra" (out Friday). Another movie based on a TV cartoon that's based on an action figure? "Actually, we were working on a G.I. Joe movie long before we did 'Transformers,' " Lorenzo di Bonaventura, producer of both summer tentpoles, told EW earlier this year. "And our Joe isn't based on the animated series -- it's based on the comic books that came out in 1982 and 1983." Duly noted. But the film's origins still go back to a 45-year-old 12-inch doll dressed in an American military uniform. Lead fighter Duke (Channing Tatum), team captain Hawk (Dennis Quaid), and a ninja named Snake Eyes (Ray Park) take on villains like the beautiful and treacherous Baroness (Sienna Miller) and the mysterious Cobra Commander (Joseph Gordon-Levitt)"

lol

how?

8/2/2009 6:29:09 PM

Because it's "Gritty"... wait Marlon Waynes? Wah?!?!?

8/2/2009 8:18:24 PM

^^Ha. That's great.

Here's some context for you youngins:

http://www.yojoe.com/comics/joe/

As you can see, the comics were a significant departure from the animated series.

EDIT: Thought they don't say which animated series. I always thought this one had a Sigma 6 feel to it.

[Edited on August 3, 2009 at 7:52 AM. Reason : -]

8/3/2009 7:49:23 AM

Quaid, the asshole from Gone in 60 Seconds, and a wayans brother.

Someone over there got the 'How to fail' list and the 'How to not fail' lists mixed up.

8/3/2009 9:07:53 AM

the only person this movie is missing is Steven Seagal

8/3/2009 9:22:37 AM

So when does this shit fest come out

8/4/2009 3:25:25 AM

Wait, the 3rd Rock from the Sun kid is Cobra Commander?

8/4/2009 11:01:03 AM

8/4/2009 12:06:53 PM

read the reviews. Everyone is abmitting they thought it was going to be horrible but came away pleasantly surprised.

8/4/2009 12:15:13 PM

to be fair, everyone was all WTF heath ledger when he was cast as the joker so i'm going to reserve judgement on the other ten things i hate about you guy until after the movie.

8/4/2009 7:01:49 PM

Hahahahahaha. Currently at a 91% at rottentomatoes... out of 12 reviews.

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/gi_joe/

8/4/2009 9:09:29 PM

^ wouldn't be surprised if it plummets once all the top critics chime in. i've seen several movies that start out this way and then end up with a rotten rating by the time it comes out.

8/4/2009 9:29:37 PM

^^^^^^

Joseph Gordon-Levitt is a great actor, and you are... like... dumb.

8/4/2009 9:43:23 PM

No pre-screenings for critics. ALWAYS a good sign.

8/4/2009 10:08:29 PM

they're not going to let Roger Ebert review the damn thing but they let IGN, Aint It Cool News, and outlets of the sort watch it. Can't say I argue w/ that logic. Some critics are out to shit on anything w/ an explosion in it (except The Hurt Locker).

8/4/2009 10:23:43 PM

ebert loves everything these days you ignorant roboman.

8/4/2009 10:33:50 PM

I actually saw this last night. If you didn't like Transformers, you're going to fucking HATE this movie. That being said, I had a fun time. Kinda was reminiscent of the cartoon & the good old days of having huge GI Joe battles w/ your friends. I'd like to think that's what they were going for.

Snake Eyes fight scenes were awesome. Sienna Miller was gorgeously hot. The movie was crap overall.

8/10/2009 10:00:27 AM

8/10/2009 12:23:02 PM

That dog is stealing the show from Snake Eyes

C+ I would say. Overall not a bad popcorn movie. Definitely seen worse, miller is so fucking got.

8/10/2009 1:25:24 PM

Duke! I am your fiance's brother!

8/11/2009 11:25:28 PM

Saw it cause I was bored....I expected the worst.....and this was far worse and more retarded than I could ever imagine.

8/12/2009 12:32:11 AM

it was everything i was expecting and more. i thought it was a great mindless action movie. i enjoyed it way more than i did transformers. ninjas are awesome!
