Gi.I.Joe trailer: fails to fail
- Thread starter StarTrek1701
- Start date
But those films are rubbish as well?
I don't know...
I think I'll wait and rent the dvd for this one.

I think I'll wait for sadistic aliens have taken over the Earth and have used this movie as a means of torture; thus, have captured me, straped me to a chair, clamped my eyes open for this one.
Even then, I'll probably will myself into being deaf and blind.

To you. Maybe. To the vast majority of general audiences? No.
In any event, that wasn't the point I was making and I've already explained what it was earlier in this thread.
Clearly.
Maybe if this fails, they'll give it to JJ Abrams.

Hey, gotta keep one member of the original cast onboard! Might as well be Rachel!
Guys, am I the only one who hears the theme from Team America: World Police when this trailer is playing? I mean, come on... COBRA knocks over/destroys the freakin' Eiffel Tower!
They all served in the same military the 12" guy served in, The United States Armed Forces. How is that hard to understand? You can't be that old.
As for the trailer, I saw it when I saw Year One yesterday. Every new trailer for the pending cluster-fuck makes me want to burn my eyes out.
Speaking for myself, it looks awful.
It's been done..WAYY back in '87

with a remake in production..

As for me, GI Joe probably would do better released during Christmas..there are too many blockbusters out there..
I'll only go if my soon to be 8 year old niece asks me to otherwise it looks like a total rental.
Goddamn this looks good!
Everyone has been ragging on this movie ever since the first few stills of the Delta-6 Accelerator Suits came online. Now of course the hardcore Joeists are going to hate this updated version of G.I.Joe no matter what. But if you think of this as a fast summer movie this looks fun as hell! Mind you, Terminator 4 seemed like that too but we all know what a fuck of fail it came out to be. Even though I am still miffed about it not being an American team, but as long as the movie is fun I am willing to overlook that little aspect (just like fans did about the destruction of one of Sci Fi's most beloved planets in Star Trek).
What do you guys think of the trailer?
I chuckled at the end. Lame line. But GOOD lame. A good sign.
back in 2000, I was working on a parody project that needed the original cartoon G.I.-Joe theme, so I figured, let's see what's on the net. The sheer amount of websites and other sources I found on a search RIVALS the amount of 'Star Trek' sites (at least back then). Needless to say, I was shocked.
As for the trailer. Saw it when I went to see Star Trek. Looked like your standard cliche action flick to me. Hell, stick Bruce Willis in there, and you'd have Die Hard 5. I saw a couple of G.I. Joe animated episodes back in the 1980ies - it came on before Robotech which is what I got hooked on back then
, as far as my reaction the promo overall: "Meh.'
GI JOE is one of those movies I'll say I won't go see but I will go see it because I owe those 3 3/4" bastards that much. I lived and breathed GI JOE back in the day.
They should have just made a live-action version of the already-existing GI JOE The Movie...toss out Cobra-La and through in nano-bots instead of the spores...work with me here!

Another problem with the accelerator suits is that one of the things about the toyline is that everyone had a unique look and had a special skill and the suits seem to diminish that and put everyone on an equal footing (another concession to appeal to socialist Europe? j/k). Also, it would seem to maybe diminish what Snake Eyes skills bring to the team.
