[oldmanwinters]

Wow, only 300 views when I loaded it up! This must be fresh outta the vault!

Did they just kill off Duke in the first minute of this trailer?

[Brodie]

That looks like a lot of fun. I enjoyed the first one, this one looks way better.

[Turo602]

Yeah. I'm no GI Joe fan but I did enjoy the first movie and I will be wacthing this one because it looks just as entertaining as the first. That, and because I tend to like The Rock's movies. At least when he's not taking care of a little girl and dressed up as a tooth fairy.

[Cowabunga Carl]

Okay just wow. This looks like the Joe movie that we thought we were getting the first go around. I'm still in a little amazement of the trailer. I'll definitely need to watch it a couple more times to get everything out of it.

[Slap-Happy]

That last scene of Snake Eyes taking down the Cobra ninjas on the cliff looks fun as hell.

And Cobra Commander with the silver helmet makes me just a little giddy.

[Cowabunga Carl]

It made me sad that Destro wasn't shown. Christopher Eccleston was probably my favorite part of the first movie. It maks me sad they didn't try to get him back.

won't he be in at all?

[Cowabunga Carl]

He wasn't listed on the cast and there is no footage of Destro in the trailer. Has me very sad that we wont see him again. I think Eccleston is probably my favorite version of Destro so far.

Fortunately, a man in a metal mask is always replaceable!

I would be surprised if the "characters" of Scarlet and Duke die early in the 2nd film. Weren't they planning to make this into a trilogy from the get-go?

[Cowabunga Carl]

Yes they were. They planned three films but the first one didn't do so well. I was surprised we got a second one. I think this will be a very lose sequel and set up for future movies while quietly letting the first fade into the background.

[TheCanadiandrome]

i gotta agree there

[Cowabunga Carl]

I always saw Destro as the brains. He was cool and calculating, and I felt Eccleston portrayed that so well. Then again I think he is an amazing actor all around and he is my favorite Doctor Who also.

[Andrew NDB]

Seems like they threw the baby out with the bathwater on a lot of the things that did work in the first one.

[Cowabunga Carl]

Yeah the more I watch the trailer the more it feels completely different. There were things that worked in the first, and there were things that did not. I see a lot more of the cartoon in this take then the previous.

[Raph's Girl]

I see a lot more of the cartoon in this take then the previous.

This movie is the reason why Season 2 of the toon is delayed. The cartoon and Retaliation are connected in some way. They put the cartoon on hiatus until the movie came out because they wanted to reflect what happens. I wonder if this means we'll be seeing an animated Bruce Willis?? *lol*

[Cowabunga Carl]

Yeah I get the Renegade vibe but I was talking more along the lines of ARAH cartoon. With an over the top story and big action scenes. That scene at the end of the trailer with Joe Colton screams ARAH to me.

[Xav]

They planned three films but the first one didn't do so well. The first film made over 300 million worldwide how is that bad?

[Cowabunga Carl]

That's world wide. It didn't do well in the U.S. though. I liked it. But over all it was panned by everyone.

[TheCanadiandrome]

I always saw Destro as the brains. He was cool and calculating, and I felt Eccleston portrayed that so well. Then again I think he is an amazing actor all around and he is my favorite Doctor Who also.

Yes he was a good Doctor, who never got to truly shine

[Logan]

Looking forward to this. Loved the first movie.

[Xav]

Did they just kill off Duke in the first minute of this trailer? The guy who they take the dog tags from has sideburns that's not Duke. He's most likely was taken captured like Snake Eyes was. He's way to popular to kill off.
But over all it was panned by everyone. It couldn't have been everyone. Clearly it was liked by enough people to warrant a sequel. Though I don't really see the point of doing a sequel if they are gonna get ride of most of the old characters. Did people really hate all the actors from the first one?

[ZariusTwo]

it couldn't have been everyone. Clearly it was liked by enough people to warrant a sequel

Bay's TF movies make mega-bucks but are critical stinkers. What's your point? People are dumb.

[Cowabunga Carl]

Yes, the first movie was pretty much hated by all. I like it for what it was. It could have been so much more but it was still fun.

[Xav]

Bay's TF movies make mega-bucks but are critical stinkers. What's your point? People are dumb. My point is it doesn't matter what the critics think. If the people like it and the movie makes money it will get a sequal.

[Raph's Girl]

It's Superbowl Sunday and that means new trailers! Here's the one for G.I Joe Retaliation.

Eee!! "Call me Joe..." :D

awesome!!!

[KROW]

I'm pretty psyched for this; just not liking the plot where nearly all the Joes were killed. As soon as I saw Bruce Willis in the teaser, I thought, "Joe Colton? Niiiice."

[ToTheNines]

This looks terrible lol.

[Cowabunga Carl]

I thought that Eccleston's Destro was probably one of the best parts of the first movie. I would have liked to see him return. Him and and Scarlett.

[Logan]

Getting pumped for this movie. I'm intrigued to find out who's playing Cobra Commander this time around.

Ditto and ditto :tsmile:

[Leo656]

Looks decent. I was one of the 5 or 6 people who thought the first one was really quite good, lots of fun if you're just a fan and don't take it too seriously. I think this one will be better now that the backstory's out of the way on most of the main characters. I like Cobra's helmet.

count me among those 5 or 6 as well :D

[Logan]

count me among those 5 or 6 as well :D

And me, too.

Also count me as one of the many that want Snake-Eyes to have more screenage this time around.

[GK Punk]

I had problems with ROC, but over all thought it was a pretty entertaining movie. they told a good Joe style story, just didn't like some of the character changes they made. (Baroness being the biggest problem I had.) That being said the second one looks leaps and bounds better than the first, and I'm really excited for it.

[TheCanadiandrome]

yeah man! :tcool:

[Logan]

So, apparently Cobra Commander in this film is not the same one that was put in prison in the previous movie. Perhaps they're trying to make space for JGL to come back? *strokes beard*

[oldmanwinters]

I was actually interested in going to see this movie next month, but now it's been pushed back to March of 2013 on account of some pathetic studio argument about how "Titanic 3D made a lot of money so we might as well take 9 months to put G. I. Joe: R in 3D too."

I've seen the movie prequel comics on the shelves already. Now I'm kinda curious to know if they are also gonna release a movie adaptation comic this summer; I might just read it over and end up skipping the movie next year.

ah god damn it! :x

[Brodie]

Its weird, toys are on the shelves already and comics in stores. Everything was full force for June.

But it was also announced today that the DBD bluray got a September 2012 release date. Which, thats most likely wrong, but it was all announced in the same 10 hour stretch.

[GK Punk]

I'm actually really disappointed in this news. I was very psyched for this movie.

[Ninjinister]

Yeah this announcement doesn't make a lick of logical sense. ALL of the promotional s**t is out there now. By July nobody's going to even give a crap anymore.

[Slap-Happy]

Word is that they're "redesigning" scenes for 3D (reshoots).

Also, Paramount is apparently trying to get Joseph Gordon Levitt back as Cobra Commander. Don't know if it's only for a voice role or if they're reshooting those scenes entirely.

[oldmanwinters]

I was curious to know how they were going to explain Scarlett's absence. If I remember, Rachel Nichols enjoyed her experience on the first film (outside of getting burned during a fight scene, I guess) and wanted to reprise the role, but the studio pretty much wanted to "clean house" as much as possible.

I've been assuming that she'll either be killed off-screen or else referred to as being "on assignment."

I took a peek at the prequel comics and it seemed like Scarlett had a pretty active role in those issues.

[Xav]

Yeah it's kind of odd the studio didn't want her back. I can't believe Adrianne Palicki would be that much cheaper.

[Brodie]

This sounds about right:

When it was announced that G.I. Joe: Retaliation had been bumped from its original June 29th release date to March 29, 2013, Paramount said that the reason was because the movie was being post-converted into 3D, but most of us knew better. It was simply too strange that the studio would pull one of their biggest blockbusters of the year one month before release. Now the truth has come out and it's not really about 3D at all: it's about the fear of Spider-Man.

THR has gotten the inside scoop on why Paramount decided to shift G.I. Joe: Retaliation to next winter and the reason is because the studio wasn't confident that the movie could compete with Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man. Set to be released on July 3rd, webhead would have only given G.I. Joe five days, at most. at the top of the box office, and many anticipate that the success of The Avengers will translate to greater success for all superhero movies, including our friendly neighborhood webslinger. Also helping out box office numbers next year will be the added 3D, which should pad Paramount's international numbers quite nicely.

But the other reason for the move is Mr. Channing Tatum. Watching the trailers for G.I. Joe: Retaliation, it's pretty clear that Tatum, who played Duke in G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, bites the big one early in the film. With 21 Jump Street and The Vow performing as well as they did, however, the studio is thinking that killing Tatum off wasn't the best idea in the world. It's expected that in the next nine months Tatum will be brought in for re-shoots so that they can expand his part - which is a clean way of saying that he could be resurrected...

[Logan]

Ugh... and I was excited at the prospect of Tatum being virtually absent from the movie. *shakes fists at the heavens*

[Xav]

Anyone else see the film? I thought it accomplished what it needed to do, be a 100 minutes toy commercial. Though I did feel Flint and Lady Jaye should've been Rip Cord and Scarlett.

[ObiWanFan4life]

Just saw it and.....Meh. It's better then the first one (which ain't sayin' much) and it had some cool action scenes. It's Okay, but nothing noteworthy. 5 out of 10

[TheCanadiandrome]

i loved it, yes better than the first, but because of those cool action scenes

[STORMSHADOW__210]

Strictly speaking as a huge gi joe fan,i loved it.As a movie on its own...it was good.
