the stupid dr is cobra commander

You know, that doesn't look all that bad... the biggest problem is that the movie is called G.I Joe, to be honest. If it were titled differently, it probably wouldn't be as hated. It may be worth watching if you can detach from the whole original concept/toyline/etc.

kinda sad to see my favorite doctor in this...

The ROC toys come out today. At least there's a few bright spots there.

It's sad that "G Force" a movie about talking guinea pig commandoes looks like a better GI Joe movie than GI Joe.

That clip at the end of the trailer when two joes are slo-mo bouncing through missiles looks a lot like the way two racist robots bounced around in another movie....

This makes me miss doctor who. This makes me once again impressed at the good casting and costuming on the baroness. It also continues the trend of making me want to see it even less.

I'm still maintaining some hope of goofy gi joe action. But not much.

We are in for the swerve of the century when all the movies we expected to be great are shite, and this film destroys all our collective minds. It's the expect low, exceed expectations corollary.

I'm wondering if G.I. Joe will be festering pile of dung like Transformers 2 was, and also manage to reap in amazing profits, regardless.

Ha! Chris Ecclestone delivering his lines like a northern plumber emptying his toolbag on the kitchen floor. Time for an incongruous Scottish spanner - yeah, throw that in the works, too.

Good grief...

Such a great franchise they could do much with, but instead, they fuck it up...

BTW, was that one of the Wayans brothers? Le mayo.

OMG I wanted to see GI Joe but now I don't know if I want to see it.

I think "Team America" may have been a better GIJoe movie than this is going to be. But Sommers thinks it's gonna be HUGE!

MasterOodFan> This is how I feel about it.

If I want the old G.I. Joe feel, I'll watch Raul Julia's Street Fighter.

But isn't Destro the Doctor. Ah, sorry, wrong show.

Just wondering, when the Japanese watch American movies, do they also have debates on whether subbed or dubbed English is better?

Shit. Shit shit shit shit shit. apparently I'm the odd voice out here, but this trailer actually makes me not hate this movie. Shit shit shit. Now I have a feeling I'll at least see it at the $1.50 theater. Maybe it's because this trailer wasn't aimed at an American audience, so it has more cool actiony stuff and less Wayans fall-down guffaws? (What? Audiences want action from an action movie, not Vaudeville?)

It always looks at least watchable (stupid, but watchable) until those weird, clunky suits show up. Sigh. Preemptive RIP G.I.Joe film.

"Rex Lewis," huh?

So...Rex ["King"] Lewis ["Louis," anglicized].

Oh god.

C'mon Yakub Shabazz, hang in there man. Stay strong! Marketing is counting on our weakness to cool looking action cuts in trailers. Don't fall for it! Don't give in. At least wait for video.

Personally, I'm making a point not to spend a single cent on this movie. I'm that much of a raging fanboy. :)

Oh LAWD, somebody pinch me...I wasn't utterly and completely turned off by that trailer...I even like some of the casting choices (Even Marlon Wayans oddly--The guy from OZ and LOST evenmore though)...Maybe I should watch this one like Bayformer-fans and put my hate to the side for once...But honestly based on this trailer (The only one of seen), it didn't suck anywhere close to what I thought it would...Siena Miller as Barroness should piss me off, but it doesn't...Geezus I'm having a internal crisis right now because I was so ready to hate this shit, and that trailer doesn't make me hate this...

Help??

Well, when the day arrives, its totally up to you. But if you want boycotting fanboys like me to convince you to stay away, sure I can try that. :)

Just think of your movie like any other product or service. If you go to your favorite restaurant and order the rib-eye steak with mash potatoes and steamed veggies, that's usually what you're expecting your money will get you right? Would you pay full price for that meal if they got it wrong?

With the upcoming G.I.Joe movie lots of people are still going to pay for the full movie despite it not being quite what they wanted. That would be like you paying for the above meal I described even though the waiter gave you chicken filet, rice pilaf, and steamed veggies. Lots of GI Joe defenders that are going to fork over money to see it are basically going because they think there's a few things in it that might be okay. Well, that's like paying full price for the meal I described above and saying "...at least they brought me the steamed veggies."

Yes, Sienna Miller looks hot as the Baroness, yes Rachel Nichols looks hot as Scarlet. But trust me, you can stare at pictures on the internet if that's all that's getting you to go and save money.

You wouldn't pay for a meal that was brought to your table where the only thing they got right was the steamed veggies. Why would you go see a movie just because they only got a few things right like casting or a few explosions? At least with the restaurant you can ask them to take it back and redo it. You can't do that with a bad movie.

I know, I know...Maybe it's just the non-stop vitriol I've spewed @ TF2, and my faith in any of my childhood shows getting anything close to resembling a soul, but I wasn't totally embarrassed by this trailer...It seemed to have a soul...Now i could be totally wrong and if it's $hit and I see it you best believe I'm gonna roast it, but I was not completley offended by THIS trailer...Baroness should be a woman of Russian, Slavic, or whatever desent (Not just some sexy white english chick who really hasn't done jack in her career), but God knows I can deal with her if I dealt with Megan Fox's overhyped a$$ (inwhich she doesn't even have an a$$--Something the ghetto-twins would likley perfer^^)...

I hear He-Man and Jonney Quest are coming down the pike aswell...I'm far more confident that those 2 movies will murder the source material morso than what i see here...

I am afraid of a Johnny Quest movie... it's gonna likely head down the Land of the Lost comedy remake route.

Johnny Quest could be the biggest franchise ever. Just find a child of the corn that can act and let's make some killer (original) Indy level action adventure films.

Instead Bandit will fart alot or hump Hadji's leg at some point (and also be CGI). Hadji will be into Parkour and a former street urchin instead of a cool well off Indian kid. Race will be played by the Rock... Megan Fox will be shoehorned in somehow, eldest heretofore unspoken of daughter or some such horseshit. And don't forget some sort of homophobic undertones/jokes towards Dr. Quest and his bodyguard Race.

He Man's script treatment I read made the Dolph version look like 2001.

The worst part is, these movies write themselves if the producers would just let them.

He Man - Technobarbarian culture where every man, woman, and child is on the juice. Evil zombie wizard and his legions of darkness are constantly working to topple the kingdom and rule on a throne of skulls. Prince Adam takes on the role of He Man and beats back the forces of evil and saves King Randor while he assumes his son is a bitch for letting some greasy bohunk save him while the kid stayed at home playing xbox.

Johnny Quest - Super Scientist Dr Quest is also retarded rich and his kid has pretty much 0 fear. he travels the world trying to fix problems and the kid uncovers unsavory elements and generally causes more trouble than they started with. Race, his bodyguard will save his ass at some point with so much badassery universes implode from the sheer force of his existance. His best friend is Hadji, a smart and fearless Indian kid with some knowledge of ancient mystical arts. He has a bulldog that causes even more problems but lets him come along on his adventures anyway.

GI Joe - Mega military unit given a free pass to totally fuck up terrorist ass without oversight or acknowledgement. It's officers are given a open dress code so long as they're pretty much on call 24/7 and don't get themselves or innocents killed. They know each other by call signs and they like it that way, because they have seen so many comrades killed in action they don't want the connections. Those that are involved keep it under wraps (Snake Eyes and Scarlett). Cobra is run by a disgruntled car salesmen/vet who conned an entire town into becoming his own personal millitia. His efforts have amassed a large fortune able to buy the best weapons on earth allowing him align with MARS and moving from backwoods millitia to global threat. GI JOE, meet COBRA, COBRA, GI JOE.

Jonney Quest is gonna be straight Zac Efron p0rn for post and pre-tweens alike, so I know they're going to murder it just to make it a Zac efron coming-out party or something...He-Man, I actually like the old-school Dolph Lundren movie, eventhough that was Bay-esque for it's skewing of some source material, but with all the effects we have today I think they're gonna go ape-$hit with that one, when it can really be a more quaint tale (Because of the medieval-nature of the tale)...Anyways geeks are F'd when it comes to this...Ironman 2 hurry up!!

You know, for as bad as I thought that this was gonna turn out, this trailer still looks light years better the the crap that was TF:ROTF.

I don't give a damn about GI Joe (or Action Force!) but this looks terrible. The green gloop effect on the Eiffel Tower still looks cartoony as hell. I assumed they'd have done a bit more work on it by now....

There may be something wrong with me - but I thought the trailer was pretty passable. Nowhere near as good as the Star Trek or Terminator trailers - but better than TF:ROTF
