Rise of the cobra~~Any takers??? - Blu-ray Forum

Anyone see the GI joe trailer?

Anyone think they are gonna screw it up big time, or any positive takes?

STARSCREAM · 03-06-2009, 04:24 AM

I think as far as regarding the old cartoon they are gonna completey sat down and take a s*** on it. As far as the movie being good, it might be a fun popcorn flick based on the trailer, However I am going into this one with quite possibly the lowest expectations I have ever had for a movie I anticipated.

Looks bad, and kinda figured it would be bad from the way they are approaching it. I'll netflix it but I won't be seeing it in the theaters.

Col. Zombie · 03-06-2009, 04:34 AM

Where have you seen this trailer? Thanks!!

CHERRYGARCIA · 03-06-2009, 02:54 PM

being the sucker for GI JOE (child of the 80's here) that I am, I will see it even though I know it will be cheesy as hell...and knowing is 1/2 the battle!

dvd_mazter · 03-06-2009, 03:07 PM

The trailer looked only okay to me. I might see just because Sommers is directing and the first two Mummy films are some of my favourite popcorn action flicks.

I'll probably go see it because I loved the cartoon and toys so much as a kid, but I have a bad feeling this will be one they screw up. A shame too. I've only been waiting on this movie to be made for like 20 years.

The other 1/2 is GUNS...LOTS OF BIG GUNS.

I think this will be a great popcorn flick

seigneur_rayden · 03-06-2009, 05:21 PM

I will go see it. The trailer looks bad ass.

Teabaggins · 03-06-2009, 05:30 PM

it will be horrific. I'm basing this on the stills and clips Ive seen.

if you equate "popcorn flick" with "shitfest" then you might enjoy it

danjross · 03-06-2009, 05:36 PM

Let's just say after seeing the still photos of Scarlett (Rachel Nicholas) and The Baroness (Sienna Miller) I am in.

Red Hood · 03-06-2009, 05:40 PM

Sienna Miller would be the only reason I would watch this. I think both this and wolverine are gonna be bad, but that is just me.

OMG! I thought I was the only person on the face of this earth that thought this.

I just don't see what all the fuss is about.

Teabaggins · 03-06-2009, 05:47 PM

wolverine will suck too. mainly due to the weak ass supporting characters

PaulDubya · 03-07-2009, 02:25 AM

The Trailer looks like an improvement from the cartoon. I tried watching a couple of episodes and sut it off after 5 minutes. Can't wait to see pics of Cobra Commander.

Blu-Runner · 03-07-2009, 03:18 AM

To me, there's just some cartoons that shouldn't be made into live action movies. With G.I. Joe, you had vast array of characters coated in a wide range of colors and shooting laser rifles. Taking the core cast, strapping them up in all black garb, and dropping them in the real world just doesn't come off as appealing to me. It's like Street Fighter and Dragonball Z -- It. Just. Won't. Work.

I know this movie is going to be getting stinking reviews. I could be back eating my words, though.
