I think it's the franchises way of selling this as more than just "A Real American Hero", it's a Global assault team trying to save the world wherever the danger rears it's head.
GI Joe 2

Don't forget in Resolute that Moscow gets taken out by a Cobra weapon...
In the series Cobra attacked London, took the Eiffle Tower, made the Russian army disappear!
@Captain Craig...I honestly didn't like the first movie. Channing Tatum is not Duke to me, and is just a bad actor in general. Aside from this it did have some good qualities. Joseph Gordon Levitt as The Doctor/Cobra Commander was a highlight for me. Chris Eccleston as Destro was pretty good as well. Dennis Quaid as General Hawk was inspired casting IMO, Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow lived up to expectations, Alan Silvestri's score was amazing, but it just was a flawed film. I've been hesitant to see this movie until the last couple of trailers, especially this last one. I'm even kind of excited now
COBRRRRRAAAAA!!!!!

@Admiral Young...I wouldn't say I liked the first Joe either but I didn't hate it. I think I gave it a C grade if I recall. Your thoughts are really about spot on to mine. Tatum was not Duke and I agree with your thoughts on the others. The other thing that rubbed me a bit wrong was Marlon Wayans as Ripcord. Or maybe more importantly the way they chose to portray him. I guess the producers felt a team "funny man" had to be included so they made Ripcord that guy.
The accelerator suits I waffle on, I think on paper it likely sounded good but the execution was a bit off.

In a sign that 3D is truly everywhere, there is a report that G.I. JOE 2 will be pushed back to next year (about nine months from now) to do an almost last-minute conversion.

That's BS.
I wanted to see this movie. As much as TDKR.. mainly because I'm a G.I. Joe fan. And It was amongst blockbusters I looked forward to.. this film even had Trek 2's original release date.
those assholes. Now I don't want to see the film at all. Those greedy bastards. This is called milking every extra penny they can.
Fuck

I'm holding out hope that this is an elaborate hoax that somehow got reported. You do not delay a major movie one month from release when there's posters in every theater, TV spots, toys already on the shelf, and 7-11 is printing the slurpee cups.
If this is true, then it is one of the most moronic things I've ever heard, and will hurt the film's box office far more than help it.

I know Paramount thinks this is a good move(and maybe it will be) however anticipation for this has been building.
I would worry that there may be a backlash and/or loss of interest with the push back happening at this point. Under 2 months till release.
It's ripe for trouble imo.

As a GI Joe Hater who does most assuredly Hate... I find this totally awesome.
The press release from Hasbro (via BleedingCool.com):
Um...what?
http://www.bleedingcool.com/2012/05...rch-2013-why-hasbro-have-some-story-about-3d/
Um...what?
My wife did some ADR work for the film... so I'm disappointed it's been pushed back. Only because of the residuals.
Translation: "The test screenings were CATASTROPHIC, and we're hoping everyone will have forgotten all this by March of next year so we can hope to at least break even on this megabomb. Releasing straight-to-DVD/Blu Ray won't cut it. We can't afford two Battleships in a row."
Seriously, it's either that or the entire upper level of Paramount Pictures needs to be fired for criminal incompetence. Who ever heard of a major summer action movie (in the last, oh, 2-3 years) that DIDN'T already have a 3-D converted version ready to go (unless the producer/director specifically said no 3-D)??

3-D resonates with people? Really?
Dude I just wanted to toss down eight bucks and see how this story resolved. I don't care about 3-D
fuck!

What I'm hearing is that they're doing the conversion for the overseas market where 3D is king (and where the first movie really made its money).
This whole quote reeks of bullshit.
This quote makes it sound like some new magnificent amount of data has suddenly emerged on 3-D and it's possible contribution to the bottom line. The proof of this pudding was shown a few years ago.
There is something afoot and this is quote and the move is all part of damage control on some level.
Test Screening?
Battleship..um, sinking!
Something?
It's not cause of "wanting to give the audience a more immersive experience". If I still feel jazzed about this next March to care to see it like I currently do I'll be seeking out a 2-D viewing. You can count on that.
