•  WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAH

• Meh, the natives can kiss my butt!

• If you're having girl problems I feel bad for you son. I got 99 problems and a bitch ain't one.

• Well, so was Janet Leigh in Psycho, but she died like 20 minutes into it!

• But does Bruce Willis have a "Kung Fu Grip"? We need to know!!

• Remember when the director was announced and every collectively shit their pants with nerd rage because it was the bieber movie dude? Minds seem to have been changed!

• Thank god for that, JGL is a good actor but...his voice for CC was just...uh....Darth Vader with all that damn voice modulation. I don't see what would be the big deal if  Charlie Adler could get cast (as he has been doing CC for years in the cartoons) I mean after all the role is faceless. Oh if only Chris Latta didn't commit suicide...

• Give him the stick DON'T GIVE HIM THE STICK

• What about my Mobile Suit Gundam trilogy movies with Micheal Cera as Amuro? My Death Note with Zac Efron? My Dragonball Z Evolution part 2? When will my nerd heart give out from all of these adaptations? That said, this movie looks pretty good, CC actually looks like CC (thank god they did the chrome helmet and not the cloth...because according to Sommers it would make CC TOO MUCH LIKE THE KKK and we can't have that, now can we?). Hopefully Cobra gets equal time in the spotlight along with the Joes.

• All they've confirmed is that Gordon-Levitt will *not* be back.

• But will the sinking ice from the first film return?

• No, but is does make you an honorary African American.

• After a slight pause a tree busts through a window and starts choking him...

• One complaint.  The music REALLY sucks.

• What is it the kids say now? Oh yeah, ...GTFO!

• Sweet sweet Joe toys. Cobra troopers look awesome though it appears the Steel Brigade is now going for a Halo look to to their helmets rather than the old 80's look. Spose I should be excited for the movie as well.

• I cannot believe that I am actually looking forward to seeing this film.

• GTFOutta here!

• i think that was Firefly on the bike

• And what about the Rattler in the very beginning.  I don't remember the Rattler in the first flick, but then again I only saw it once at the drive-in when it came out, so it might not be new. But if they have the Rattler, I want to see me some Wild Weasel.

• I'm so sorry. -sits in the corner, head bowed-

• Goddamn it Ricky, we don't mention that fucking abomination. YOU know the minute you mention that fucker, some dipshit executive hears it and thinks "Hey we can do that! We already have a script." Stop tempting fate.

• Channing Tatum is still billed as the main character though, so it could still turn out to be pure garbage... I will continue to follow it with a suspicious mindset.

• Wait - there was a GI Joe movie? When did this happen? The last Joe movie I recall was back in the eighties where Cobra Commander turned into a snake!

• I see your Jay-Z quote, and I raise you a "Wars come and go, but my soldiers stay eternal". XD

• "Who wants a body massage...OF DEATH!!"  There, I fix'd it for you. XD

• Oh don't worry, I'm sure he (or she) can do both. A man (or woman) who can fix the mistakes of the first movie and get jaded fans excited again about this possible franchise is not a normal human being. He (or she) is a God, or an equivalent cosmic being that transcends both space and time. So I think working on two movies at the same time would be no thing for him (or her). XD

• Well, it's a toss-up between a good thing and a bad thing, IMHO: they're trying to play nice with us for now so that we'll lower our guard down and allow them to make the giant baby abomination that is the American Akira and Cowboy Bebop adaptation starring the ever grinning Tom Cruise.

• Agreed! And granted the authority to shit-can the American Akira right this instant!

• All that's left is to set a scene where he kicks a puppy. XD

• Suddenly I have an image of Obama quoting Jay-Z. Does, does that make me racist? XD

• I'm going to pose him as doing the People's Elbow on a downed Zartan. Hey, it's the least I can do for that fucking douche-nozzle for killing Cover Girl. XD

• Saving the best for last, perhaps? XD

• Oh God, you're not a Michael Bay fan, are you? Tread gently, kind stranger. The natives don't take too kindly to your kind around here.

• With much more cramming this time, eh my Dark Lord?

• Maybe this is his way of apologizing for The Tooth Fairy. Well, apology friggin ACCEPTED!! XD

• The Rock should have been making kick ass movies like this for the last 7 years.  

• As much as I hate G.I. Joe the cartoon, I endorse this "Live Action" version.

• Looks even shittier than the original, and I did not think that possible.

• This actually looks really entertaining.

• I agree - the first movie wasn't really awful, just boring. The invasion of the Pit was actually pretty good, and the attack on the artic base at the end wasn't bad either. I've heard that it was adapted from a screenplay that originally had nothing to do with GI Joe, and I think it showed. This one looks like it was all Joe from the beginning, and that is promising.

• Totally agree. We need to know who is the EXECUTIVE who push this and support him/her up the corporate ladder!

• at last, a gi joe movie for me to get behind. again. and again.

• Oh yeah, right. ... ...Eh, f*** that old scene anyway. I want to see Bruce Willis or The Rock say it!!

• And lest ye forget, no lips on Snake Eyes' mask. Oh, speaking of which, was he riding a motorcycle that transforms into CLUSTER MISSILES?! Because that. Is. AWESOME!! XD

• Hot DAMN! I know, I know, the first rule of dealing with Hollywood is to not get too excited with their movie trailers, since they can and will throw every trick in the book to make even Bayformers look good. But, hot DAMN!! I got hot and bothered over this one, I started touching myself. Well played, Hollyweird. Well played! XD

• You have no soul.

• So, it looks to me like THE ROCK just joined G.I.Joe...I am unimpressed. 

• I didn't hate the first one - it had the main problem of being boring because it relied too heavily on special effects (accelerator suits) that were shoe horned into what was actually a decent story that didn't need them. Add to that it was too cluttered with flashbacks which served only to disrupt pacing. I'm more willing to forgive drifting from the source matterial to add comic relief or romatic sub-plots but nothing that they changed added anything and was in the end simply distracting. It was a good 60 min film - earning bonus points for the forklift kill TAKE THAT KEN!

• From what I've heard Eccelston has issues reprising _any_ role - apparently he gets bored

• No, they haven't. But let's face it - when your villain doesn't show a face, it's easy to redub in post. For all we know they'll just hire JG-L to do voiceover work.

• Especially as it's almost surely a new actor behind the mask. (They haven't confirmed who's playing CC, have they? Odd....)

• Easy enough to discard if they want; namely, all they need to do is say that The Doctor was an agent of the Commander who sought to usurp the true Cobra organization with his own.

• So damn excited for this. Unlike the last one, I don't think this one will let me down. Cobra Commander looks like COBRA COMMANDER! Hopefully, they totally disregard that ridiculous origin from 'Rise.' I'd much rather the Used Car Salesman story to that idiotic piece of BS.

• somehow though, they have to encorporate  cold slither or "the viper" and life will be perfect

• FWIW, the list of figures revealed so far is: - Duke - Roadblock - CC - Cobra Trooper - Red Ninja (repaint of the AWESOME 30th Storm Shadow) - Storm Shadow - Snake Eyes - Zartan (WITH HOOD~!) - GI Joe Trooper (newest version of the Steel Brigade) All look very sweet... but no Jinx just yet. Figure she and Lady Jaye get spaced into the remainder of the line.

• Yoooooo Joooooe!!!!!

• The toys in the Hasbro article certainly look great enough - as expected, given the absurdly high standards the modern Joe line has set over the past couple of years. Roadblock is going to be posed Rock Bottom-ing some poor Cobra trooper for sure (or RoC Ripcord if I'm in a particularly bad mood).

• Well, Rock is better than Fred Arminsen at doing Obama, so it's not shocking.

• I didn't bother seeing the first one in the theater, but the half-second of Firefly in the background turned me back into a hyper ten-year-old again. I'll be there opening day.

• That looks fucking fantastic.

• I think Dennis Quaid (Hawk) says it.

• Is it just me or does The Rock sound a lot like Obama when giving his speech? That being said, this movie looks like it's going to mop the floor with the last one!

•  Y'know its funny these people they go to sleep, they think everything's fine, everything's good, they wake up the next day and they're on fire.

• I think it's safe to say that this movie cannot possibly disappoint us, because literally all a GI Joe movie needs to be is a big dumb action fest. The first film was most certainly big and dumb and full of action, but they also changed a lot of small things for no reason at all so it was just frustrating to watch. This... this looks like the cartoon come to life. Seeing the Goddamn Cobra Commander actually looking like the Goddamn Cobra Commander makes me so unreasonably happy.

• How do they do everything so wrong in the first movie and then so right in the next? Who ever is responsible for this turnaround needs to murder everyone else in Hollywood and do their jobs for them.

• My God, did that smell good!

• Pork Chop Sandwiches!

• So the Joes carry a boom box with them while getting ready for missions in order to psyche themselves up? AWESOME. The only thing this movie needs now is for one character to say "...and knowing is half the battle" & this movie will be close to nirvana. ...Wait, actually, was there a scene like that in the first film? I can't tell because the sheer awesomeness seen so far for this film is erasing all memories of it.

• Sweet Muppety Odin!  It's like they actually *gasp* LISTENED to the fans, and gave us the movie we want to see!  I never thought I'd actually be this excited about a sequel to a horrible movie based on an 80s toy line.

• I watched the first Joe movie for free one night on cable whilst drunk off my ass....I still didnt get my moneys worth. But this? I'll pony up to see this in the theater.

• What - you don't want them to keep him on for GI Joe 3 if this does well? Because if it does do well, odds are they'll do another one. Then we can get to fixing Destro/Baroness. And if it does well, hopefully entice Eccelston back for the third film.

• This is an apology movie isn't it?  I'm taking this as a formal apology.

• Get this director to do the next Transformers film, he at least GETS the material fans want to see.

• I'm sorry, but as awesome as this movie looks whenever I see The Rock as Roadblock I can't help but wonder, "Who wants a body massage?".

• Thats what a GI joe movie is supposed to look like-- COBRA COMMANDER with a FREAKING Helmet-- none of that plastic bubble crap-- this may just make up for turning Ripcord black - (but nothing can make up for the whole Duke/ Baroness/ CC fiasco

• Whatever deity guides my life, dear Lord don't Let Me Die tonight.
