G.I. JOOOOOOEEEEE (2)!!

Published at:  Jan 07, 2010 12:14:48 PM CST


Merrick here...


Yeah, yeah, many folks crap all over Sommer's G.I. JOE movie - but I thought it was a ton of goofy, unapologetically stupid-as-hell fun (my review is HERE) and I kinda/sorta wanna see more. Which looks like it's now a good possibility...

But thanks to some very reliable sources, I can report a screenwriter has been hired for G.I. Joe 2 (or whatever it’s going to be called) and Paramount is definitely moving forward with the project.

While I tried my best to find out who landed the writing gig, my sources wouldn’t budge.


...says THIS article over at Collider.

If memory serves, Sommers & cohorts had already developed ideas for a second film before the first one even hit theaters, so it'll be interesting to see how the new movie dovetails with what we've seen.

And, to pre-emptively address the inevitable cries of "Why?" and "nobody cares!", keep in mind that JOE pulled down north of $300 million globally. Which doesn't necessarily mean people are crying for more, but it's a pretty good justification for giving it to 'em...

    by ninjarap

    Best movie of Summer 2009. Fuck Transformers, it was shit. Terminator was disappointing. Wolverine was meh. G.I. Joe was everything the Transformers films SHOULD'VE been - highly competent action films that were also love letters to the property and its fans.

    I'm down with more JOE! The first one was stupid summer fun. If they weren't going ultra-serious then what else could you want? I had a fun time. The same fun time I had at "Speed Racer" which hardly anyone liked. "Joe" at least wasn't as insulting as "Transformers 2" and was more suitable for children. Give Snake Eyes his wolf and we're all set!

    by cyberskunk

    I wonder if the political climate has changed enough that the screenwriters will go ahead and make the team American? I think I mostly did not like the movie much, although I was moved by Baroness's self-conflict near the end. I think my favorite scene might be the big sub with the cobra symbol on it because I was finally seeing the cobra symbol. Or maybe it also occurred earlier in the movie; don't remember.

    Or, I liked it more than I disliked it. I thought it was visually one of the strangest movies I've seen and I've recommended it to people on the visuals alone. I thought for a movie that was aimed at children, or had children in mind, that many occurrences of "ass" was going to put off word of mouth by some parents, though.

    it wasn't the like the great AVATAR!(BTW- I think is horribly overrated) but, it was good fun. I have a feeling the 2nd one will make up for some of the issues the first had. The set up was awesome for Cobra, and if they continue the vibe they had, I think a lot of you haters are going to change your minds.

    GI JOE was a great time at the movies, I enjoyed the 80's cartoon and this movie was like the cartoon come to life! Ridiculous over the top villains, guns that shot all kinds of energy, lots of shit blowing up, and easy to follow action (something that shitformers lacked). Gimme part 2!

    I said it,

    Take it from someone who use to run home after school and sit through that dry ass cartoon just to see the Mach 5 in action or the few episodes that Racer -X was in.

    To me, the theme song will forever be one of the greatest attached to any cartoon, too bad it's more memorable than the cartoon itself.

    If by "FUN", you mean FUCKING BORING

    by sirbiatchreturns

    then yeah, you're right. GI Joe is an utter shitfest. I was actually looking forward to it because of the action. I knew beforehand that the story would be shit, the acting would be shit, everything would be shit but the action. Then I walk into theater and watch some boring, crappy action.Any adult who says "Speed Racer" is a great movie should seriously question their movie taste. You guys are saying 'its a kids movie' Well guess what? I saw that shit in IMAX (yeah, I know, what a fucking waste) and the kids sitting next to me were like: 'this movie sucks!' A whole class of kids on a school trip. So I don't know where the love for Speed Racer is coming from, other than the fact that any movie, regardless of how shit it is, must be loved by at least 5% of the population.

    I was poised to shit all over it from the trailer footage I had seen, which showcased a cringe worthy Marlan Wayans acting a fool. Then a friend of mine, who loves shitty movies, brought the DVD over. Turns out the trailer was very misleading and it wasn't entirely awful, all things considered. In fact, had they toned it down any more it would have strayed from the over the top exuberance of the property. This is a series based on a toy franchise, and though it is certainly not beyond reproach, I have to say it did meet, and in some cases exceeded, my expectations.

    ...As some of you may know i liked transformers 2... i can understand why some of you all disliked it, but how the hell can you like GI Joe and defend it by sayin it was fun, when TF was fun also... every defense i heard sayin Joe is good, is the same defense i have for TF. both movies were racist (when Marlon said somethin somethin ninja), both dumb, both fuckin glorified toy commercials, and both had action... sure Joe didnt have a military heaven, but TF didnt have a cardboard box "lead" the movie... ps: it hurt me to see JGL do Joe

    by quake ii

    So when I rented it and my 8 year old son lost interest 25 minutes in and I painfully FORCED myself to finish that pile of shit, that was FUN? I was actually mad after watching the movie. It made me appreciate The Phantom Menace. Seriously. Episode 1 is a masterpiece compared to Gi Joe. Shit, even the Godzilla remake was easier to sit through. The only thing in Gi Joe worth watching was Ray Park's Snake Eyes. And they even managed to fuck up his mask with lips. I will avoid this sequel as a rental or even as a CBS saturday night movie.

    "Just like the cartoon".....

    by quake ii

    Not really. The Gi Joe cartoon was actually more serious and less jokey than the movie. And as far as Speed Racer goes, I wouldn't even compare the two movies. The Wachowskis actually seemed to love the source material and at least tried something new and fresh. Sure, it failed commercially but it wasn't a "by the numbers" failure. Gi Joe is about as generic a movie as I have ever seen. There is nothing in that move that wasn't in every summer blockbuster in the past 10 years (and done better in most).

    While they were busy brainstorming (use of term brain is questionable) ideas for the second film, it seems that they forgot to think up ideas for the first film. My real concern is how bad Transformers 2 sucked, because I've head GI Joe was better, and Joe could blow the chrome off a bumper.

    Snake Eyes had lips on his mask

    by dstrange

    Snake Eyes version 2, the most well-known and also the one used in the movie, had lips on his mask. I still have the original figure and can confirm that. Granted, I think it looks goofy in live-action, but people's cries of "why does he have lips on his mask?!" can be answered right there. The movie's Snake Eyes is copying the toy exactly.

    As far as the TF2/GIJoe debate... both were pretty awful. And, I hate Bay's TF's more than anything on earth (was basically forced to watch TF2 - long story), but GIJoe was the worst "film" of the two by far. I could barely stomach the acting. So over-the-top and retarded. We're talking USA Channel Original Special bad. The only person in TF2 who even came close to that bad was the government guy who kept shouting that he'd taken over the military's mission with Optimus. Not even Shia was that horrible - even including his shouting "Optimus!" and "Bumblebee!" every five seconds.

    exactly because it pulled in $400 million. Basically, these studios are interested in name recognition more than quality and someone's going to end up seeing it. As long as there's a couple million left over for canny directors like Neill Blomkamp who are interested in making good, original genre movies, whatever, let studios waste $200 million on shit. It seems studios can do less with more while this new crop of producer/directors can do more with less.

    G.I. JOE SUCKED!!!!

    by williamzabkarox

    It amazes me how anyone found the movie to be good or even fun. It was painful to sit through. The acting, CGI, story, characters were pathetic. Sommers managed to dumb down a movie based on a cartoon/action figures. I paid $10 to sit through a movie that looked like your typical low budget, cheesy Sci-Fi channel movie. It was like suffering through the live action He-Man movie all over again 20+ years later. Sommers said when he took over that he never cared for the cartoon or the backstories and wanted to come up with own fresh take. BIG MISTAKE. He also said people would get offended with the original Cobra Commander hooded look because it resembled a KKK member. Someone needs to get rid of Sommers and hire a better director that actually liked G.I. Joe. Go watch the original cartoon mini-series. The story, the characters, the writing are far better.

    Speed Racer is as good as GI Joe

    by tall_boy66

    Wherein they both have small, flitting moments of pretty and fun, but overall it's just loud, noisy, irritating garbage for the most part. You can find entertainment in either of those films, but why fucking bother? To squeeze blood from a stone? Just watch Optimus Prime punch that robot through the chest and tear it's face off in TF2 instead. That one moment is equal to all of the entertainment value in GI Joe and Speed Racer. Combined. And TF2 isn't as good as the first TF movie either. So that's a long, roundabout way of saying that Speed Racer and GI Joe are both bad movies. Not horrible. Just bad.

    G.I. Joe finished up its least season decently, but its obvious changes need to be made.

    Head Coach: Sommers stays. Directing was fine.
    Retain: Snake Eyes, Scarlett, Duke (though he's simply sitting as our draft pick develops), Hawk.
    Cut: Ripcord, "International Organization", accelerator suits, Breaker, Heavy Duty, Nerdy Destro, Nerdy Cobra Commander.

    Acquire: BIG LOB, Roadblock, Beachhead, "Real AMERICAN hero", Russian Baronness, badass Destro, badass Cobra Commander.

On top of that it didn't have the Beef going stuttering loco in class. That's not even including the terrible sfx, the Global Intergratated Joint Opperating Entity, or Snake Eyes lips, seriously what's up with those things.

    The real star actually was Sienna Miller and prior to this movie I had only seen her in Stardust and Casanova. JGL pretty much owned every scene he was in even though you barely see his face. Though his reveal had me thinking he was laughing his ass off.

    Part 2 will remove the foreign "Joes".

    by dailysportspages

    Towards the end of the first movie General Hawk says that the UN has revoked their charter and that all the foreign based people would have to return to their regular military.

    They had so many hours before they had to report, so in the meantime they geared up for one last mission together.
    That was the end of the GI JOE movie.
    Now flash forward to the new movie.
    GI JOE would now have to replace all of its foreign operators with US ones.

    And that leaves a perfect opportunity to bring in much loved characters from the show/comic.

    Roadblock: Terry Crews, replaces Heavy Duty as the heavy weapons/demo guy.

    Dialtone: Clifton Collins Jr replaces Breaker as the comms/hacking guy.

    Lady Jaye: Michelle Rodriguez replaces Cover Girl as eye candy #2 on the Joes team.


    You then could add a couple of other Joes to strengthen the team.

    Maybe Ryan Hurst as Gung Ho, and Josh Holloway as Shipwreck.

    Definately room for improvement, but there's a solid base.

    by ash talon

    Yeah, the first movie was retarded, but it wasn't completely terrible. In fact, there's a solid foundation to work on.

    Ways to improve it:-Recast Duke. Tatum was/is terrible.-Have Snake-Eyes find reason to believe Storm Shadow is alive. SE, with Scarlet in tow (to keep an eye on him), tracks him and comes to an understanding that SS was not the real killer of their master.-Make the Joes split up and go to different locations across the globe. At each location, there's a Joe specialist for that environment. Easy way to expand the roster and gives a good opportunity for cross-cutting which heightens the pace.-Updated but recognizable Joe and Cobra vehicles. Let's see some HISS tanks.-Joes have to flush out the President. Think of a scene of Snake-Eyes, Storm Shadow, and Scarlett assaulting the White House to kill the President.-put some color into the costumes. Some Cobra blue. Joes should have some earthtone costumes, not all-black spandex.-get rid of Sommers. Honestly. Or at least reign his ass in.

    I think there's obvious potential for the franchise. There's a solid base for future movies. They just need to tweak a few things.

    by tall_boy66

    It's a complete conceptual misfire and talented filmmakers completely disappearing up their own asshole with incoherent cinema tricks that do not inspire a single goddamn thing except to realize that slavish devotion to anime is not going to translate well to live action. That's what Speed Racer is. And it has Emile Hirsh. So it is not a good movie. Period.

    So, it's written in stone that Speed Racer is a bad movie?

    by creamcheesealchemist

    That sounds more like an opinion to me. It's definitely more of an otaku film, though- what I'd picture a director raised on Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh would do with one of those properties- revel in the junk aesthetic. YGO actually goes into corporate intrigue in the most pathetic way imaginable.

    As for Rise of Cobra, it's like the Funhouse cartoon episode.
    You know, where Cobra's got a theme park trap in a Mayan pyramid, complete with the likes of baseball-bat-armed jack-in-the-boxes and LSD-filled balloons.

    Oh and, Cobra Commander, all you really have to do is get the Joes into compromising same-sex positions, leak the photos and watch them all get discharged.

    Movies such as GI Joe, Transformers, Speed Racer etc, they are all pretty shallow movies with a sole purpose - to entertain. To be fun, and enjoyed as is.Terminator 4 aimed higher than this, this aimed to be a combination of summer blockbuster and a tale about the human condition - and it fell short. As such, it was the worst movie of the summer.

    by thedarklinglord

    I was expecting pure, unadulterated shit that wasn't remotely enjoyable on any level, but I actually found myself enjoying the movie. I mean, it wasn't as cool as I wanted it to be, and I wish to hell Sommers would stop trying to put humor in movies when the man doesn't have a fucking clue about what's funny, but it was genuinely entertaining and goofy fun. It was closer to the sort of fun Sommers managed to create on The Mummy, where you might roll your eyes at some of the gags, but there was enough good to compensate. I didn't beg for those 2 hours of my life back. And, where Sommers is concerned, that's as close to a ringing endorsement as the man is ever likely to get.

    You know what, I didn't like Avatar. I thought it was boring. If it wasn't for the visuals, I would have asked for my money back.
    Don't get me wrong, I can't deny the success, but its a very mediocre movie, that over time others will feel the same. Style over substance. What makes me laugh, is that in theory, GI Joe and Avatar are the same style of movie, except I thought GI Joe was more entertaining. Let me explain:
    Basically everyone killed GI for its story, yet Avatar's generic storyline seems to get a pass. Everyone dogged out GI Joe's special effects, however, Avatar relied only on it's special effects.
    I know this is waaayyy too much to ask, but I wish people would just stop following the herd, and lead once in awhile with their own opinions.

    by gibsonusa returns

    Stuff said in this TB I agree with:

    - Uniforms: Cobra blue and G.I. Joe earth tones.

    - G.I. Joe is now a U.S. entity.

    - Scarlett following Snake Eyes.
    (No more Ripcord!)

    - Zartan and the Dreadnaughts.
    Zartan is now the President, right? Snake Eyes busting in would indeed be awesome.

    Stuff I may add:

    -BIG LOB: What the world is waiting for.

    - U.S. flags everywhere.
    - THE CONQUEST X-30! The G.I. Joe forward wing jet!
    Characters:
    - Lena Headey as Lady Jaye.
    - Brock Lesnar as Chuckles.
    - John Leguizamo as Tunnel Rat.
    - Mario Lopez as Ace.
    - Donnie Yen as Quick Kick.
    - Joe Pantoliano as Shipwreck.
    - Sgt. Slaughter as Sgt. Slaughter.

I get that, but he should have had a better story to execute that world and its beings. Come on' man, Transformers had some kick ass special effects, but the story was awful to the ninth degree.

    I'm sure Transformers had kick ass effects, if the camera stayed still long enough and a shot lasted more then an eighth of second I could enjoy them. G.I Joe peaked at the Paris sequence and it's strongest point was that it was unapologetic and very straightforward about what type of movie it was, that I respect, even if it didn't make an impression on me.

    The best Part of GI Joe was the attack on Joe HQ.

    by gibsonusa returns

    Where Storm Shadow is jetpacking away with Baronness. It almost had a videogame vibe to it, and was fun.

    I actually didnt like the Paris scene at all. By the time I got to the theater, the trailer and TV spots already showed me them crashing through the bus, and Snake Eyes on top of the Hummer.
    Other than that it was just cheesy stupidity. "That suit costs millions of dollars"...trip and fall! Har har. "There's an instruction manual?" Har har. Ripcord catching Scarlet you could see a mile away and was so cheesy. The whole accelerator suit concept needs to go.
    The attack on Joe HQ imo was great in part due to the abscence of those suits.

    3. NARRATION: Big Lob provides his own running commentary.

    by smackfu

    As I watched the movie, on an intellectual level I recognized that it was complete drek, yet still, I was entertained enough to keep watching, and enjoyed it despite it's silliness. Joseph Gorden Levitt's Cobra Commander was fantastic, I hope they keep him onboard, and ditch Channing Tatum. He was pretty much the only actor in the film who felt nothing like his character. Ditch the accelerator suits and use some of the classic Cobra soldier designs. There are a ton of awesome designs in the history of Cobra to choose from, there is no excuse for dull, generic looking Cobra soldiers. I would love to see the old Cobra Viper or BATS designs make an appearance.

    If they made Sherlock Holmes or James Bond an American living in Texas, people would (understandably) complain right?

    Well G.I. Joe is traditionally American. The "G.I." has stood for "Government Issue", used for U.S. soldiers, and has been this way for the better part of a half century. It's been officially known as "Real American Hero" since the early 80s.
    That sometimes international characters would appear does not take away from the fact that G.I. Joe is traditionally American.

    Just like I did with Transformers 2,(with a splitting hangover-bad mistake) and in fairness GI Joe was everything it was supposed to be: a kids film, specifically a young boys movie aimed squarely at young boys (and tom-boys), nothing more, nothing less. Sure I winced at the awful dialogue especially between the Wayans guy and the red head but if I was 20 years younger I would not have noticed. The action was dumb but fun! And hammy acting all round yayy!!! Personally I didn’t mind looking a Sienna Millar for 2 hours either, Id takes her over Megan Fox any day of the week. If I had young kids I wouldn’t have minded bringing them to see it, as it was just harmless cartoon fun. Really I don’t understand the anger on the talkbacks about this film, I can however understand the anger at the Transformers movies, as they were fucking terrible on every level, dickhead main character, sourpuss love interest, annoying parent characters (especially the mother die, die ,die) fatso black computer nerd “man I’m still a virgin!”*Shudder* headache inducing, incoherent action scenes, nu-metal score, inappropriate visual gags/dialogue, fucking hated those movies so much it hurts. The fact that men my age (early thirties? - damn) have the DVDs make me welcome the coming apocalypse! Sommers should have directed the Transformers movies and made them in the same tone as GI Joe and employed some non-annoying actors. Maybe id have been arsed seeing them theatrically.

    G.I. Joe was Better than Transformers 2

    GI Joe was awful

    by jack burton

    Watched it this week. Even my kids hated it. The effects were pitiful. How you can have special effects that look that fake in 2009, against something like District 9 that had flawless effects, is beyond me. There was a CGI polar bear that looked like something out of Jumanji.

    The acting was horrendous, story was awful, it was a shitty, shitty movie. On a plus side, it made Transformers 2 look good in comparison. At least Trans2 was more or less competent in execution.

    Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick

    by gozu

    Comingsoon.net has the scoop. They're the "Zombieland" guys who are also writing the "Deadpool" movie. I guess they're becoming hatchet men on sequels to shitty but profitable movies.

    The Sequel...

    by sailor rip

    ...Zartan is now President. He uses his power to free CC and Destro(or at least fasilitate an escape). He see's GI JOE as the enemy and uses his power, with the help of funds from Extensive Enterprises(Tomax and Xamot) to build his own private army(COBRA) placing CC in charge.

    The Joe's fear this and soon discover the President is not who he seems.

    CC leads an assault on the USS Flagg to free Baroness, who while in captivity, has come to hate her captors and really IS EVIL and more than willing to join COBRA.

    Hiss Tanks, The Terrordrome is built, blue Cobra soldiers, Pit Vipers.

    Then a lot of shit blows up.

    C'mon Hollywood, let me write the fucking thing.

    If CC wears the hood..i'm there

    by alienindisguise

    but since the pussy studio and producer thought it was too much like a klan hood I doubt it'll be happening. The CC on AOTS is more authentic than Jason X Jr. was in the first piece of shit.

    YOU CAN BLAME HASBRO FOR MAKING G.I. JOE INTERNATIONAL

    by bringingsexyback

    They internationalized the original toys so they had no choice but to do the same with this movie. If they had made Joe American from the start, it would've been that way now.

    Fuck Cash-In Joe the movie

    by thebastard

    I will never. ever. watch this movie or the first one. Hollywood keeps on killing my childhood one film at a time. A friend of mine showed me about ten minutes of clips from the film, he barely talked me into to watching those and yes he had the whole film, and what I saw was a film that had barely anything to do with GI JOE, cripes why didn't they just let Uwe Boll do it...
