Silent Bob Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Yes it'll probably be crap but I'm interested in giving it a shot because it has two things going for it. One, it has Stephen Sommers directing and he has proven to make very entertaining schlock. And two, it has Jospeh Gordon-Levitt as Cobra Commander, which is such strange unconventional casting that I've just gotta know how it turns out.

Signal08 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 looks bad ass to me... Quaid , Pryce, Eccleston... I'm sold. edit: bad ass in the effects and such, not in the story line / realism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hakujin Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=52443full teaser trailer. Oooooh, that trailer made me feel tingly in all the right places! And is that Noomsie ("I'll destroy you [snaps fingers] just like that.") from Golden Child as a maskless Destro?!?!?!? As for the pics: putting everyone in leather lessens the overt sex appeal of Teh Baroness (rrowwr) which was probably the first cartoon character I ever chubbed up from. Plus Storm Shadow in leather=WRONG in the eyes of Jehovah. Snake Eyes looks spot on though. edit: I watched it again frame by frame and noticed none of the classic G.I. Joe vehicles. ;_; I was hopping to see some of those, but I guess new vehicle designs = new toys=more money for Hasbro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Hightower Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 I didn't hear no 'body massage' either. Whatever, the trailer during the Super Bowl was cool. I'll go see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Well that trailer showed a whole lot of nothing, but hey it looks like we get some cool Snake Eyes action. Also if the Baroness doesn't have a Ukranian accent I will be pissed as Baroness is hot for 3 reasons: 1) She just is, 2) The black framed glasses, 3) the accent. If you remove one of the 3 the whole system just fails. Also I don't know if I can accept a GI Joe movie that doesn't start out with a man with a jet pack holding an American flag in his hands while he flies to the top of the statue of liberty.

Iambaytor Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I'll accept the sunglasses as she did actually wear those green old lady glasses at one point and I saw her wearing the OG black frames in her civilian clothes. But I don't know if I can accept the loss of the accent, it's just no the same! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Hakujin Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I challenge that. Here she is missing 2 and 3 and I'd say number 1 is still holding strong. The motion is seconded and passed: Baroness is still hott w/out the glasses and accent. Next item on the agenda. There's a new question on the floor: which major league Cobra member did Baroness most likely diddle around with behind Destro's back: Major Bludd, Zartan, Tomax, Xamot, Tomax AND Xamot, Dr. Mindbender, or a specially modified B.A.T. rigged for her pleasure?

Jumbie Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 at least they're no longer peddling that bullshit UN Taskforce travesty Well, I know you hate that for politicial reason. Me, I always disliked UN taskforce setups in movies and books because they're so fuckin unrealistic. Like the UN could ever have the funding and political independence to actually be effective as some kind of global cop. Unfortunately, GI JOE seems to have gone way too far in the other direction. It has this line in the trailer: "We don't answer to anyone." which seems much more realistic but makes me sick, politically speaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archangel Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Not for the reasons you may think, Jumbie. GI Joe, as the name itself implies, is an American Soldier. Hell, it's THE American Soldier. Making GI JOE a member of a UN Task Force is akin to making James Bond a member of the CIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archangel Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 lol I don't go to movies to have politics breathed down my throat, man. I go to be entertained. I can make my own opinions and don't need to be preached at. But when I heard they were going to keep the core of this movie back to the original, I was really happy. I'm excited, now that I know they aren't bastardizing my childhood cartoon for political correctness the way they wanted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archangel Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Hey, after watching Surf's Up, Wall-E and a few others, i tend to be cautious when watching movies these days. and lets not mince words: GI JOE in the 80's was unabashedly American and unabashedly anti-communist. That was, in all effects, Cold War Propaganda and I loved every minute of it as a kid. Kinda like Rocky IV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Yeah, well the 80s GI Joe also looked like the village people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
