In the mood for some GI JOE: RETALIATION fun?
Hello ladies and gentlemen, Muldoon here and if you clicked on the title, I assume you're answer is maginificent "Hell yes I do!" The folks at Collider pointed me to the 30 second Super Bowl spot below. I actually thought the first JOE was a fun popcorn movie. Oddly enough, I can absolutely understand why people might not have been into it. It's sort of like filling up on chips and salsa before you get your meal... I was however blown away at BNAT with the first trailer and with the little bit of footage we get below, still am incredibly excited to check it out. The film explodes onto screens June 29th.
Here's the first trailer:

Watching that dropped my IQ so many points I think I may be retarded now

The cartoon was much better. Just saying....
-
More movies should do this. When you make a buttload on a bad movie, fire the bad actors and replace them with better ones and use the money you made from #1 to make #2 way better. First movie was bad, this one actually looks like it'll be worth watching.
-
..And it will be one almighty FLOP! Shit Box Office a certainty. FACT!
-
Easily better than any Transformers movie they've put out yet. And though I know this is a cliche now, that's only because it's just so damn true: Haters gonna hate.

I grew up on the comics, and the show. The first was a blast.
by grammaton cleric binks
I could even live with it being an international force, and no COBRA until the end. The sequel looks even better.

got rid of marlon wayans but gave his lines to the Rock
by s-mart shopper
fuck off
-
Saw the Rock on the still so i didnt bother to hit play...this movie is gonna tank whether its good or not...no goodwill from the first one and a slew of big titles coming around it...and it has the fucking rock...why do people keep putting him in movies?
-
I was in it for the guns and tanks and military stuff. All that mystical sword, vow of silence stuff -- get that shit out of here. Make your own action figures for that.
-
More junk
-
This looks like a big improvement.
and ninjas are one of the best parts of the GI Joe mythos along with Cobra's leadership. Knowing is half the battle. -

Like The First Movie, The Most Interesting Character is Mute
by sluggolicious
-
Wikipedia says Charlie Adler's doing his voice. Charlie's the voice of Starscream in the TF movies and the voice of Cobra Commander in GI Joe Resolute & the Renegades TV series. Works for me!
-
Also, I was unaware how similar Scott Mcneil's Cobra Commander voice was to Chris Latta's:
http://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/voice-compare/GI-Joe/Cobra-Commander/ -
...you got Cobra Commander in a helmet that actually resembles the classic, ninjas, Firefly (with camo ski mask), Cobra taking over the White House, Jinx, and some good action and set pieces.
It looks like a Gi Joe movie to me and from what I've seen so far, a good one.
Time will tell and it's not my ultimate vision of what a full scale Joe vs. Cobra movie could be but it looks promising. -
the cherry on top of a sunday. One or two make it awesome. Half a dozen or more are just too much.
-
but jay-z can suck an illuminati cock.
-
I was front and center bashing Rise of Cobra and the Transformers franchise, deservedly so because they did suck but the original cartoons of said franchises are waaaaaay worse. We children of the 80's were just as retarded as the kids of today. It's a fact.

Maybe but Resolute is better than both cartoons and all the movies.

Phifty2 Is Right Folks. You might Think It Looks Bad, But It Does Look Very GI JOE
by crow3711
I don't really know what you all thought GI JOE movie should, or would, look like...but the first one was actually really entertaining retardation (and I'm a huge snob to be honest), and this one looks even more like what a GI JOE movie should be. Complete badass retardation. Cobra, Firefly, White House, Evil Presidents, Bruce Willis, ninjas on cliffs...I mean, what do you want? It's an excuse to be completely ridiculous, and they seem to go with it. I'm certainly not going to pay 14 dollars to see it in a theater...but I'm sure it'll get a play on netflix instant in a few years. No doubt.
-
There, I fixed the typo in the title.
-
He's viping the vindows.
-
Eh, I just read your title and not you message. Guess I pretty much repeated what you said.
-
DOES SOUL TRAIN MEAN NOTHING TO YOU PEOPLE?
-
It had better plot, character development, they fired real bullets, people died. They really died, not like they died, but came back as Dark Phoenix or crap like that. The Silent Castle is one of the best comic ever written. Not one single word of dialogue, and yet pictures not only completely tell the story, but we learn a lot about Snake Eyes, Scarlet, and Stormshadow.
-
Frankly I like that they learned their lessons from the first film. This looks much closer to what we should have gotten the first time around. Real Cobra and some cool action. I'm down for this. I hope Amazing Spider-man does the same. First one will obviously suck balls so they can just rebuild with the sequel and do Spider-man fucking right!
-
I'm actually looking forward to this. It looks like it will be the type of fun I'm hoping the Avengers will be.
-
Feb 01, 2012 6:30:06 PM CST
@grammaton cleric binks Absolutely agree, though...
by bedknobs_and_boomsticks
it's "Silent Interlude" not "Castle." ;-)
-
The visor was just silly.
-
The Funhouse, anyone?
-
Nice. Looks like fun.
-
I don't know, it just clicks for me. The Rock quoting Jay-Z was silly, but the actual song in the preview works. And The Denzel Safe House trailer with No Church in the Wild just kicked ass.
-
You are CORRECT.
Silent Interlude is SUPERB.
Sadly the first film took a giant poo on Snake Eyes, Stormshadow, Scarlett and their relationships which have always been the most intriguing in the G.I Joe comics.
I think the new Snakes costume is *better* but still to armoured if that makes sense. I like visor or goggles - bit of both please, but the visor is harder to pull off. The whole 'man without a face' thing was dropped too - I want to see 'im in his rubber mask and trilby with the hat pulled down over the eyes like a latex Eastwood - Scarlett having to buy baby powder to stop him itching ; )
StormShadows costume still appears to be the gay white leather Japanese rockstar outfit from the first film - YUK.
Can we get some proper CG's and Cobra Troopers in this? Red and Blue thanks! -
I broke my SB hold-out for this one.

Spyhunter -- Didn't realize Starscream HAD a voice in the TF movies.
by lucky13
... I remember him grunting a few times, that's about it.
The same can be said for just about any Transformer not named Optimus in those movies. -
According to Muldoon, the conversation that took place when we clicked on this story is as follows: "In the mood for some GI JOE: RETALIATION fun?" "Hell yes I do!"
Um, wat? -

On another note, James Cameron permanently leaving USA!
by doctorzoidberg
Going to live in Middle Earth on a 2600 acre farm, seriously it is on the AP wire.
-
I don't think anyone who thinks differently is crazy. Y'all might think I'm crazy. But I happen to enjoy crazy.
-
We're on the same page. Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow, fine. But keep your Jinxes and your Hard Masters and whatnot.
-
How can you say they weren't listening? Everything I've seen so far makes this a must see. Lets face it, we all knew we were in trouble when they handed the first one up sommers. The man turns horror franchises into cartoons for fucks sake.
-
Feb 01, 2012 8:54:34 PM CST
Boomsticks and JBMA, thanks for the correction. Remember when
by grammaton cleric binks
Snake Eyes got his face back only they fucked it up again. That was badass.
-
Is he gonna be a robot? lol
But the first movie was pure shit. This one actually looks like what a G.I. Joe movie should be. It's not hard; we've seen hundreds of G.I. Joe-esque movies -
the twins are so under-rated.
-
No, Bruce Willis is General Joe Colton, the original G.I. Joe.
-
I found the first movie grossly offensive. It was not G.I. Joe to me. The characters were all wrong and those super suits were soooooo stupid.

That Seven Nation Army remix in the theatrical trailer is awesome
by blackbauer0320
Love the original tune, love the new spin on it.
That alone makes me want to see the movie, and that's what a trailer should do.
Replacing a couple of the main leads that were awful does not hurt either. -
. . . make anyone else REALLY want to watch Gymkata . . .
-
Will not spend my time here
-
Cuz I don't wanna get all misty eyed in front of my boys every time I catch a glimpse of the Channing Tatum Accelerator Suit toy sitting in the living room.
It's fun making him run. -
They got Firefly's uniform right, and that's good enough for me (plus fucking Volstagg Ray Stevenson is playing him!) Snake Eyes' visor/helmet has also been tweaked, and looks much more like the comic version. CC's helmet is PERFECT. Looks like they even got a modified version of the Rattler A10 in there. You jaded fuckers are way too jaded. This cast is way better than the original's... although I will miss Rachel Nichols/Scarlett. I hope to hell they don't kill her off offscreen. Looks like The Rock is still in Fast Five mode, which is fine with me.

Fustfick: I'm hoping that they have the balls to finally kill Duke
by seagrass
to make up for him surviving in the animated movie. What a cop-out that was. Even as a kid, I knew something was not kosher.
-
The comics were so great not only because he was a great writer, but also because he actually served in one of the Armed Forces in Koreas (The IDW 80's trade paperback reprints of Special Missions talk about this) so he was able to add all of these great details from personal experience.
I agree that Silent Interlude was one of the best comics out there. He did another silent one in issue #85 where Zartan and a bunch of red ninjas try to kill Storm Shadow before he killed Zartan to avenge the Hard Masters death (Storm Shadow had already forgiven him). Its not as good, but still pretty great. -
Is GI Joe really a "mythos?" How about My Little Pony? Care Bears? Rainbow Brite?
It was bad enough when the review for Inglourious Basterds contained the term "World War II universe." As if history were some kind of Marvel Comics domain.
But please, I daresay that we have out-mythosed ourselves if the thin backstory to a sequel to a movie based on a cartoon based on a toy is now considered a "mythos." -
Feb 02, 2012 3:22:48 AM CST
seagrass - I just watched the animated movie for the first time recently.
by fustfick
What a strange movie! Cobra Commander turning into a snake was positively brilliant. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the madness and bizarro Cobra-la back-story.
I wasn't into this stuff when I was a kid (obsessed with splatter movies, I pretty much shunned all cartoons), but I'm trying to make up for it now. G.I. Joe is pretty damn fun. And while it is pretty obvious Duke was meant to die in the cartoon movie...I still don't want to see Channing Tatum's live-action Duke take a dirt nap. -

Never cared for GI JOE. The last one was funny with the cartoon logic
by david cloverfield
It was like a story a kid makes up while smashing his toys against each other. This looks even more fun. Cobra flags on the White House sell it for me.

Oh goodie.....a sequel to the steaming pile of rhino shit that was GIJoe. This time the steaming pile of rhino shit has Bruce Willis' shiny bonce atop it....

...This type of movie is made by retards for people with the IQ of children under 10 and morons over 30 who think they're 18.............

What? -
Hm, I should check Netflix. I was just growing out of G I Joe when the Cobra-La crap was introduced, but I saw bits of the movie. My friends still quote the above.

Hama had a lot of inside jokes. The eskimo assassin who was one of the first
by grammaton cleric binks
deaths in the comic was Kwinn (I think that's how he spelled it.) You know, the Manfred Mann song, The Mighty Quinn. Then one of the comic staffers was in a bar band called the K-otics. In one issue we see Rock n Roll with a K-otics World Tour t shirt.

This looks more in line with the comics...fun but not stupid.

The first one made the cartoon look brilliant in comparison.

Looks alot better than the first turd.

At the Joe con in Rhode Island. I was really nervous, but he was very chill and laid back. I told him "You helped shape my childhood!" which kind of freaked him out and made me feel akward. It was true, though. My dad was a vet, and reading the series with me was a blast for him becuse of the authenticity. I got interested in writing and art because of that book. Now, as to how this looks: It seems highly influenced by resolute, and that is a good thing. The ninja stuff used to bother me, but when you think of it, commando training has a heavy ninja element to it, take the beginning of the Hunted with Benicio Del Toro for example. If they can match the military feel of the comic with the sci fi element of the cartoon it should be a good time.

i give Larry (Hama) props for breathing life into some toy based franchise
by stalkeye
but sometimes he overdid it with the emphasis on Snake Eyes as he became nearly the focal point of the comic series. (Before you know it, it became "Snake Eyes and the Ninja Force"?!?)
That and rehashed plotlines like snake eyes being responsible for the death of CC's Brother, then afterwards, Baroness' Brother.
Guy is a legend but sometimes I have to question whatdefuck was he thinking at times?
Oh, and Nth Man was a waste of potentual and paper. -
Feb 02, 2012 12:44:59 PM CST
One of my friends said this looks stupid, but then again he loved the Bayformers Movies.
by stalkeye
Jus sayin.

If Tatum is killed off during the first ten minutes: Ass in seat.
by stalkeye
-
Retaliation clearly is a rock kind of movie (pun intended).
-
Glad we got a proper Cobra Commander, but yeah, he does look like a B.A.T.
I may go see this.
But we need Jack Nicholson as Shipwreck already, dammnit!
