I don't think its any secret that the first movie is kinda a guilty pleasure of mine.
But that doesn't mean I don't know how tremendously bad it was, and having said that, I can safely say, this one, with the likes of Bruce Willis, Dwayne Johnson and Ray Stevenson...
looks devilishly promising.

The premiere trailer for G.I.Joe: Retaliation is here.

this looks worse than the first one


let me get this straight - the plot is that gi joe, some elite fighting force made of dozens of people, are killed in some presidential conspiracy for cobra to take over, and yet snake eyes becomes a bad guy? wtf?

also, absolutely terrible mix of seven nation army - they should be ashamed for trying to remix that song.

Uh... Snake Eyes isnt a bad guy. Look again.
and if you saw the last one, thats not the president thats Zartan.

Unless you got something else besides your complaint about the seven nation army...

This one DOES look far better than the first.

so the ninja in black isn't snake eyes, and the guys in red mountain climbing weren't the surviving joes plus a few allies? and snake eyes didn't kill at least one of them?

this trailer is stupid.

those guys in red are bad guys dude

how did you possibly think they were good guys lolol

The guys in red were the Crimson Guard. Obviously.
Anyway, I think I've made it pretty clear on the forum and in chat that I am a huge fan of Larry Hama's run on GI JOE and I also quite like the IDW stuff, and have watched the entire sunbow animated series.
I fucking love GI JOE, and that last movie was so far from what GI JOE actually is, that I really don't have much of a hope for this new one. Just reboot it. Fuck.

The dudes in red are Cobra.

to be fair, nothing can look worse than the trailer for the first movie.

All I remember is the Eiffel tower being melted by green goo. and that was enough to make me never want to watch the movie.

Looking forward to this,albeit on dvd.

Enjoyed the the first one( not being a previous G.I Joe fan must have helped that), and I´m happy that they didn´t ditch the plot from the first.

Oh, and one more thing: TITUS PULLO!

Looks awful

some of the bits of the trailer felt like Red Alert cut scenes, I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

It's only a good thing if it's "Red Alert", the stuff those games pull is only acceptable in their own little crazy universe !

idk cuz i couldnt see their faces that well, so i assumed it was the rock + crew.


i'm sure this movie is still gonna suck, how does it even connect to the last one? besides cobra taking over the united states?

You just answered your own question. Man, was the trailer really that confusing?

Not to me lol.

I think the only thing in the trailer that made me cringe was the Cobra flags on the white house.

Otherwise, I got it as Zartan sets up the joes, working with Cobra to wipe em out.
Snake Eyes, and possibly Duke, are captured.
Snake Eyes finds out that the Rock and them are still alive so he escapes to go help them overthrow the Cobra plot to take over the world.

Things I like about this so far,
Snake eyes isn't relegated to a peripheral role. (ala the Cyclops factor)
And his outfit looks WAY better. No weird pedo mouth. Ugh.
The Rock has this way of making even shitty movies very watchable. Theres always that.
It looks like the action will be more practical effects heavy.
More actual guns and exlosions.
Less accelerator suits and shit.
New director looks like he has a fairly good idea of what could make this workable.
Also, Bruce Willis.

Even though I am pretty hopeful about this, I think a straight up reboot probably would gain better milage with the fanboys.
Would it really have been so hard to scrap Tatum and do a new story? Hell you could even keep Ray Park as Snake Eyes. you ever see his face! Even though i will see this, and will probably really like it, I think I kinda do agree with Smutty on this.

I think I'd still prefer something closer to the 80s cartoon rather than an updated interpretation.
