Second G.I. Joe Trailer, Now Extra Wayans-y



Three things to note about this new G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra trailer. First — it has suddenly dawned on me that if the G.I. Joe team isn’t supposed to exist, then perhaps they shouldn’t be putting their operatives in Mass Effect suits and sending them to run into trains in goddamn Paris. I doubt that this plan is keeping the team “under wraps” very effectively. Second — if you had any doubt that Marlon Wayans would be not even slightly watchable in this film, please enjoy not one but two scenes of him falling down in his accelerator suit. See, it’s funny because he’s supposed to be a highly trained soldier with impeccable skills, but he falls down a lot! Ha ha! Third — please note that we have seen the same action shots in every goddamn trailer and preview for the movie: the Eiffel tower disintegrating, Duke and Ripcord jumping through the train, Snake Eyes gadding about with the cars. I have my suspicions that we’re not going to be getting much more than this.
