G.I Joe Retaliation
 
Trailer's up for the next G.I Joe movie!!

This one stars Dwayn Johnson as Roadblock and Bruce Willis as Joe Colton... THE original Joe!


oldmanwinters 12-12-2011 08:01 PM

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 12-12-2011 09:33 PM

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

Turo602 12-12-2011 09:57 PM

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 12-13-2011 12:35 AM

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 12-13-2011 02:41 AM

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 12-13-2011 10:42 AM

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 12-13-2011 08:43 PM

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 12-13-2011 08:59 PM

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.

i gotta agree there

Cowabunga Carl 12-14-2011 12:40 AM

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 12-14-2011 12:50 AM

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 12-14-2011 01:35 PM

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.

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 12-14-2011 04:45 PM

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.

The first film made over 300 million worldwide how is that bad?

Cowabunga Carl 12-14-2011 08:36 PM

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.

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

Logan 12-15-2011 12:30 AM

Looking forward to this. Loved the first movie.

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.

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?

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

Cowabunga Carl 12-15-2011 09:49 AM

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.

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 02-05-2012 10:45 AM

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 02-05-2012 11:34 PM

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 02-06-2012 07:29 AM

This looks terrible lol.

Cowabunga Carl 02-06-2012 09:44 AM

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 02-06-2012 12:11 PM

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

Ditto and ditto :tsmile:

Leo656 02-07-2012 05:58 AM

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

And me, too.

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

GK Punk 02-08-2012 07:31 PM

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.

yeah man! :tcool:

Logan 02-17-2012 02:09 PM

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 05-23-2012 04:59 PM

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.
