GI Joe: Rise of Cobra Movie Super Bowl Clip Online

Midnite · May 11, 2009, 07:59:45 PM

The GI Joe trailer was shown with my Star Trek viewing. After the trailer ended, everyone laughed at it. Yeahh.. this movie is going to bomb.

BentonGrey · May 11, 2009, 08:08:32 PM

To tell you the truth...I sincerely hope so.

RTTingle · May 30, 2009, 02:15:41 PM

Anyone see the new clip?

The clip isn't too bad... until Robocops, er... the Joes show up.

So they dress down Cobra and slap on HALO-like wall climbing armour to the Joes. Ugh.

I guess having the Joes dress down too would make too much sense. Nooooooooo, let's make it "cool" instead. Ugh.

I'm going to reiterate... It will be the greatest and most awsome trainwreck ever.
I cant wait!

I figure Ive been disappointed by all the summer "event" movies thus far (except maybe Star Trek - but I'm hot a huge fan to begin with) so this one has the potential to be great due to my non existent expectations -- or expectations of train wreckitude.

This looks awesome! Bound to be lots of 1 dimensional characters and stupid lines....I gotta see this on the big screen while I'm back in the states. It also seems to be filled with action. The best action movies are those a 5 year old could write.

TheMarvell · May 31, 2009, 06:18:02 AM

I like how the recent trailers say "From the director of The Mummy" and not his most recent film...Van Helsing, which was, I thought, one of the absolute worst movies I've sat through. I mean, I know it's a smart move on the marketing team to not mention the guys worst movies, but The Mummy came out such a long time ago. It reminds me of how every M. Night Shyamalan movie trailer HAS to say "from the director of the Sixth Sense," cus, you know, he hasn't made any movies since then.

this is going to be one big cheese fest. I'll be surprised if Rotten Tomatoes gives it anything higher than a 40%.

GhostMachine · June 01, 2009, 07:22:28 AM

I have three major problems with the movie (well, four, but since two involve a particular character I combined them):

1. The accelerator suits, which make the Joes look like black versions of Master Chief from HALO.

2. The casting of Cobra Commander, and from what I've heard he looks pretty stupid.

3. Marlon Wayans being in the movie practically guarantees it to bomb. And if any Joe gets killed off, I hope its him. He's easily my least favorite Wayans brother.

Also not too fond of the fact they made a pre-existing white character (Ripcord) black, rather than using a pre-existing black character, but I can live with it. Stalker and Roadblock are more well known than Ripcord, and even Alpine would have worked, and if there's a sequel I hope they do bring in Stalker or Roadblock.

steamteck · June 03, 2009, 03:04:13 PM

Well, I never really got into later GI Joe so I really have no investment here but looks kind of fun to me. I'd rather see a Van Helsing sequel myself or a real 3rd Mummy not the one we got instead but this looks like fun.

The audience I saw the trailer with was actually good until they mentioned GI Joe THEN the laughing and derision started. To a lot of the public its just a kids toy line and that's kinda it.

RTTingle · June 21, 2009, 06:02:30 PM

You know... take the Iron-Man suits out.... and this new trailer is pretty damn awesome.

What made me flip? I still think Cobra taking down the Eiffel tower is very old school Joe. The underwater shots and scenes. THE VEHICLES!!! Did I see the Sharc? The Sky Raven (Which honestly is Cobra's Night Raven as a Joe vehicle instead)? Cobra Sea Ray? Cobra Mantis?

What made me cringe? The goofy parts with the suit. The spacefall.

What actually made me laugh? "What happened to you?" "I jumped over it" "You can do that?"

Pleasant surprise? is that Ozzy's "Crazy Train" I hear?

Apparently Stephen Sommers next film is Magic Kingdom for Sale ? SOLD! Which sucks, because I actually liked those books, and I'm not a fan of Sommers at all.

I haven't been following the development of GI Joe: Rise of Cobra, but I never realised it was set 10 years into the future?

Also, Arnold Vosloo as Zartan?

and:

"Brendan Fraser plays a motorcycle-riding sergeant, who is not Gung-Ho as has been rumored, whom he dubbed a "refugee from the Village People". Fraser claimed the character is a descendant of Rick O'Connell from The Mummy, thus linking both of Sommers' films.[35] Fraser said that he asked to have a cameo in the film after producer Bob Ducsay told him that the project had been green-lit."

Magic Kingdom for Sale ? SOLD! - I love those books. Please I hope they don't screw up this movie

Courtnall6 · June 22, 2009, 09:45:15 PM

Shouldn't the Baroness have an accent....or was that just a cartoon thing?

Side note: I'm so very tired of american media taking stabs at France(destruction of Eiffel Tower in this movie, destruction of Paris in Armegeddon, A-hole Ultimate Cap saying "This "A" doesn't stand for France!", etc, etc, etc) . It's been almost 70 years people. Let it go.

Stop being so French

As for GI Joe... I've said it a million times.
The most awesome train wreck ever!

As an aside, since we are talking about monument destruction, has anyone seen the new trailer for 2012? Its like Roland Emerich decided that this is going to be his disaster swan song and makes it a point to destroy EVERY MONUMENT IN THE WORLD that his other movies missed. Its so ridiculous, its amusing.

hmmm. On the other I don't know the book but I like Sommers, vosloo and Fraiser so unless the source material or adaptation is not to my liking I'm in.

BentonGrey · June 26, 2009, 02:36:16 PM

It really, honestly breaks my heart that there are actually really excellent stories to tell with these characters and settings...and instead, we're getting this. This is the ONE time GI JOE will get on the big screen, and they are wasting it.

Courtnall6 · June 26, 2009, 02:42:51 PM

With Hollywood....rarely anything is ever ONE time.

Ha, they may turn this into three terrible movies instead of one, and they may even remake it in twenty years when I'm getting up there in age, but then it will be a remake of a terrible translation of a mediocre translation...and still not be the good stories.

thalaw2 · July 27, 2009, 04:44:16 AM

My best buddy saw a prescreening of this movie and said it was so bad it makes Transformers 2 look good....honestly. He added that the audience reaction was such that the studio is considering pulling it before the official release date.

Jakew · July 27, 2009, 05:25:54 AM

There is no way to the studio would pull it at this stage. But I believe it will be awful.

Glitch Girl · August 05, 2009, 03:01:10 AM

G.I. Joe Will not be shown to critics

Generally, this does not bode well for the movie quality nor the studio's confidence in it.

TF2 was a horrific disaster from beginning to end...but I'll still have to check out GiJoe for myself.

GogglesPizanno · August 05, 2009, 03:29:05 AM

Ive seen a few advance reviews that said Yes its dumb and silly and basically a big loud live action cartoon....but that it does it well and entertainingly if you go in with the right expectations. Then someone compared it to Flash Gordon, and I was even more sold than i was already.

I'm actually kind of excited about it right now.

They are following the Transformers 2 rationale ... ie, that reviews and critics are worthless compared to good advertising campaigns.

Exactly!! And I am looking forward to it also. I'm not expecting a "great movie" but I am expecting a fun, loud action movie that doesn't try to be anything other than a cheesy, fun summer popcorn film.

LOL....I am not surprised...Unfortunately. I mildly enjoyed the cartoon and have never read the comic book...But this looks more like a cartoon than the original cartoon ever was.

BentonGrey · August 05, 2009, 06:25:21 PM

Ohh man, Dana, do yourself a favor and pick up the original comics, at least the five volumes they've released in TPB's. They are really some of the best comics I've read.

GogglesPizanno · August 05, 2009, 06:29:23 PM

If Larry Hama started up GI Joe again and recruited Aquaman as a new team member, I think Benton would have to call it a day as there would be no more mountains left for him to climb....
