  • same ending as xmen?

  • Comment removed

  • @ERod, I was suprised you didn't bust'em on the fact that Sanke Eyes and Storm Shadow met AFTER 'Nam. sure it wouldn't have made sense in this movie, but my point is that S.E. and S.S. were adults when S.E. joined the dojo.

  • I think the iron man rip-off suits makes the iron man suit look gay, so.....GO JOE

  • In response to you saying no one on TGWTG reacted to this movie. Doug Walker did a DVD exclusive Bum review of this movie and at the end in the highlights, Doug said "In short, G.I Joe was G.I SH*T". PS: I liked this movie for the action and lack of seriousness.

  • lol this movie is VERY retarded,but weirdly i didnt hate it.i actually thought some the action was pretty entertaining (despite the god awful special effects)...it stayed in a cartoonish universe so i found the lameness/terrible acting/cliches of the film somewhat forgivable,it didnt make me angry like the obnoxious michael bay teen/sex comedy Transformers films did.This film felt kinda like i was watching a cheesy kids show (like powers rangers) that just so happened to have heavy violence.

  • What did you break a hole in the DVD with anyways?

  • @dragonstormx Stubbornness 

  • So basically, the casting sucked, it ripped dozens of other movies, including one that mostly ripped off other movies, it's incredibly stupid, and it even fails at pacing due to the pointless and poorly timed flashbacks.

  • Do a react to G.I.Joe 2 trailer

  • @GTAjuan98 wow... that... looked... LAAAAAAAAAME!!!!! (there you go)

  • @ERod2010 Actually Willis's 4-5 seconds were cool.

  • I really liked this one because it really didn't take itself too seriously, unlike the Transformers movies.

  • I hated the Gi joe series/toys and I hated this movie. Glad to see this anal matter get the huilarious bashing it deserves. BTW, off topic, but what did you think of the Book of Eli

  • @MovieDoctorful I liked it.

  • @MovieDoctorful Well, the G.I. Joe comic books were awsome. The cartoons and the movie sucked.

  • @44excalibur , i can agree that the movie was less than spectacular, i mean i stil own it for the sheer "stupid factor", but the 1980s cartoon, and the movie (87) were great. anything after that we'd have to agree to disagree. The comics from marvel (the orginal run) were freaking sweet, and i think SOME , not all , some of the last ten years worth were done quit good as well.

  • I found your review hilarious, but I really enjoyed watching this film. Besides, it's better than Transformers.

  • CHRISTOPHER ECCLESTON AS DESTRO... BUH...BUH... no.. no they're just trying to distract me from the absolute shit.

  • what did you think of the trailer for g.i. joe retaliation

  • @assman253 silly. 

  • Sienna West (The Baroness ) looks a lot like my best friend. Of course, my best friend is way more beautiful lol.

  • I think the dialog, partial direction and cybor/robo-suits were what messed most of this up. Just no room or point for any of it, as they could have made it more serious as an action film, without stupidity like the capturing via those unneeded suits.

  • It took you the whole movie to have the last straw with this movie, it only took me thirty seconds til i saw christopher eccleston's face. The 9th doctor is too good to be in this movie.

  • wait Sargent Slaughter was left out? WFT MAN I may be a girl but this was a show I watched with my brother as a kid

  • Stephen Sommers. you think thast bad? I've got South Park on my Nintendo 64, released by Acclaim!

  • that meanting you showed is NOT the begining, we both know it

    it actully opens with hjis ansester in scotland(?) being imprisond for dealing with england(?)

  • @redrasegarden That's the prologue, not really the beginning of the story.

  • @ERod2010 my bad

  • Just be glad it wasn't directed by Bay ;)

  • @CanadianShow

    Michael Bays! Blam! KABOOM! BAM! BAM! Michael Bayslposions!

  • Destro is the 9th doctor. Mind is screwed

  • What are your thoughts on G I Joe Renegades? I actually enjoyed that show, really different take on the franchise and it was great. The ending during the credits of the last episode was hilarious, hope it's on the dvd when they release the show. I'm praying for a second season.

  • @DKrules9 Sorry, I find that show to be very dull.

  • @ERod2010 is it because it's a rip-off of the A-team? most people complain about that. i just like despite a few characters are done differently, Scarlett was a little 1D and bland at first, but seemed dulled when we learned her bad story, Flint was a dumbass, but I enjoyed the concept of Cobra, already in control. I did like the Scarlett/Snake Eye thing--like in the comics--even though it was subtle, since the 80's cartoon was more Duke/Scarlett.

  • @ERod2010 Did you ever give your thoughts on the Thundercats reboot and new Voltron show that airs on Nick? Both shows were sort of good, but I never really watch both original shows.

  • to be fair, I always wondered why didn't Cobra just fire a missile at the Statue of Liberty during the opening sequence of the cartoon film. If they were going to launch a full scale assault, why not Washington DC, since it's down the East Coast. That whole assault on the Statue was a little too much, but BAD ASS. I love the song, COBRA!

  • @DKrules9 I think Cobra was just trying to be symbolic, by physically walking up to the statue of liberty, a great symbol of our country, putting explosives on it, and blowing it up. To me he was both trying to demonstrate his might publicly, and break our spirits by destroying the statue. Luckily the Joes were there to Kick his Terrorist Ass!!!

  • @ERod2010 I love that opening, but after watching the film many times, I can't help but analyze now. What's funny is if you listen to the audio commentary to the film on blu ray, the writer says that even he doesn't know why Cobra is attacking the Statue of Liberty, since Hasbro wanted an epic opening to the film and he delivered. He does also say if he had his way, the movie would be about Shipwreck, one of my favorite characters as well.

  • I like this movie just because Snake Eyes is in it

    SNAKE EYES FOREVER!!!

  • What are your thoughts on the sequel's trailer?

  • @GrayBoy95 A whole lot of cliches... OH, Hey There's Bruce Willis!!!

  • @ERod2010 Yeah but it looks like it could be somewhat better. Channing Tatum dies in the beginning and Marlon is no where to be seen.

  • @ERod2010 Bruce f-ing Willis, I'm watching it regardless. I did like the first film, but I couldn't help compare it to the first X-men film.

  • @DKrules9 They both have groups already established, X-men and G I Joe get a montage in being explained what they are. Both end a little too early and each with a villain posing a politician. Zartan as the president & Mystique as Senator Kelly. Both have main villain in some secret prison, Magneto and Cobra Commander. The difference is that X-men was a better made film, but I can't hate G I Joe for trying. just ticked Scarlett isn't in the film. I love her from the old show.

  • @ERod2010 i hope the new director for GI Joe 2 hope not a big fuck you as the first one was

  • because theyre..."nice guys" well said ferrel

  • Apperently Duke will die in the begining of the sequel and be replace by the rock (I don't know how to feel about it), and Marlon wayans will let his place to Bruce Willis... AWESOME !!! Ho and stephen sommers will be replaced by the director of the justin bieber movie... why not.

  • i hawe the white nija in pakking :-P

  • No you didnt . I realised just that I did a mistake .

  • what's your opinion on the upcoming sequel retaliation won't lie Bruce Willis and the White House with Cobra flags is pretty cool also Sergeant Slaughter and Shipwreck should be in the movie

  • @Ontarioku77 I still don't see how it can be any better, but only time will tell.

  • @ERod2010 perhaps but we fanboys can dream right?

  • @Ontarioku77 Nothing wrong with dreaming. GO JOE!!!

  • @ERod2010 Amen

  • @ERod2010 It's YO JOE!!!!

  • @mets2128 sorry... what I meant to say was HAIL COBRA!!!

  • @ERod2010

    I'm with you there. I am a little skeptical since it is being directed by the guy who did the Justin Bieber 3D movie. But it looks like he knows how to do action and thank god the mecha suits aren't there.

  • @yupster9000 Also, I've found no evidence of Cobra Commander, Destro, or The Baroness being in the movie. Try to rap your brain around that.

  • @ERod2010

    Either they didn't want to show them in the trailer or they are hidden somewhere in the movie. I don't know. I'm just glad that Sommers isn't behind this one. 

  • @yupster9000 They are not listed as characters on any of the casts list on the web.

  • @ERod2010

    Let's see what happens...

  • @ERod2010 Cobra Commander is in the trailer in his classic mirrored faceplate mask and that's actually something that might save this film! Maybe say the guy from the 1st film wasn't the real Commander!

  • @BoooRatt He wasn't in any of the trailers I've seen, well good this makes me feel a little better.

  • The sequel has Bruce Willis and the Rock

  • Hope that the sequel is better and has Captain Slaughter in !

  • @Marjoh1963 its Sergeant Slaughter

  • @Ontarioku77 Oh , I typed wrong , thx for correcting me !

  • @Marjoh1963 no prob sorry if it sounded rude

  • Sadly, there coming out with a squel to this horrible movie. Can you believe it?

  • THANK YOU for raising this movie up a notch in my eyes, Ecceston is tied for my favorite Doctor, tied only by David Tenent if only for the fact the power they give him... Smith I have not seen enough to give a reaction yet.

  • I disagree with most people about this movie, I thought it was a very fun movie to watch and the action scenes were awesome

  • why are most of your reviews on C rated movies?

  • this movie sucks 

  • Those black Joe costumes indeed were terrible. Didn't bug me too much since turns out they only wore them for the beginning and end battles. CC mask was awful and people made jokes that Indiana Jones wants his crystal skull back. Wouldn't that be funny? Indiana Jones beating up Tommy while he's wearing that crystal skull.

  • Despite the film's flaws, I actually enjoyed this movie. Exception to Marlon Wayan's, I didn't have a problem with the cast. Cobra and GI Joe were just getting started, so I thought it was understandable several of them were in their mid 20s to early 30s. At least it wasn't X-men where almost everyone literally were kids.

  • when it zoomed in at "nooooooo," you had somethin... riiiighht there. *points at molar*

  • Double tap ERod! Make sure it doesn't come back!

  • @RadarKat73080 Sorry, I forgot. I won't make that mistake again.

  • You have nice teeth.

  • @NurseDoomsday Thank you I'm glad some one agrees.

  • isn't slaughter too old now

  • @biguy617 no. 

  • @ERod2010 brilliant reviews man. I watched all your TGWTG content. really good

  • @horrorandclassics Thank you.

  • At least Marlon is not in the sequel

  • No wonder this movie sucked. ANd it actually has a sequel

  • don frey would make a great sgt.slaghter

  • i still can't belive they got one of the best koreans actors ANd jlg in that piece of shit

  • So what do you think of CC's helmet in this movie?

  • @jackrabbit112 FUCKING SUCKS!!!! There you happy.

  • Tahahhah! So how come you also didn't mention how stupid CC's helmet looks.

  • @jackrabbit112 cause the video had to be under 10 minutes.

  • Hey Erod, how come you didn't bring up the fact that Cobra Commander was frigging Duke's brother in the movie?

  • @jackrabbit112 Wait, and Duke was dating Cobra Comander's sister... that's fucked up.

  • @ERod2010 What about the fact that the nanites are completely stolen from the James Bond game Everything or Nothing, in which Willem Dafoe's character has Nanites that will destroy every weapon, vehicle and tank (just like in the demonstration). The only difference is Dafoe's Nanites won't destroy Platinum, so he plates his tanks with it so he can take over the world. At least thats the first thing that came to my mind. Stealing a plot from a video game. what a hack.

  • Also, Snake Eyes was japanese,not american!

  • @Ultramanmattia1 That's funny, I didn't know that. 

  • This movie's biggest problem was that it focused too much on the Joes. The focus should have been on some annoying teen and his friends/parents, with the Joes as side characters. After all that's what the Transformers movies did. That's sarcasm by the way. Awesome review!

  • sorry to go all British fanboy and everything but i can never ever let this pass and im sure someone else has said it too but still, Doctor Who is the name of the TV show, the main character (played for awhile by Christopher Eccelston) is called the Doctor

  • @227060 I'm so sorry, it's a force of habit. I always call him Dr. Who, and 9 times out of 10 some one corrects me, and yet i still always do it. 

  • @ERod2010 its ok. good review. i only recently discovered your stuff now i can't get enough of it, frankly im surprised TGWTG took so long to hire you. Will you ever do a video that has something to do with the DCAU? Nostalgia Critic has done a countdown of the best Batman the Animated series episodes but no one on TGWTG has done anything with the other shows

  • @227060 Oh yeah, I will totally do a Justice League vid as soon as I can.

  • @ERod2010 badass man i'll look forward to that. cheers

  • i know someone has probably already asked, but hell if i can find it but,

    'whats the tune used for the open theme?'

    also loving the fact your joining that guy with the glasses, make sure you post up your old review cause i love them

  • GI Joes, Americans not invited. WTF remember the song anybody?

    A real American hero, GI JOE is there...

    We're represented by an Emo and a Waynes brother?

    Remember the old TV show? When I was in the army (way back in the 80's)

    Kids would see my friends and I in full dress and ask if we were members of the Joes due to our General Patton inspired uniforms (division patch over our hearts not on our shoulders). This movie had DIDDLY for Americans in it.

    Great review tho ERod, keep going!

  • does anyone know what movie that was with napoleon yelling "shit" ten times?

  • @SuperODST1 Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure.

  • 6:42 It looks like the Cerberus Assault armor in ME2. Big,bulky,kind of cool looking and rarely used.

  • The number one thing I hate about this movie is what happen to Cobra Commander, he looks stupid. They had two looks and they did none of them.instead a stupid hemelet that looks nothing like the original masks.

  • Making Baroness turn into some sort of misled victim who is actually a nice person. Srsly I'm about to puke my guts out. Baroness is supposed to be a hot bad ass bitch, that's all there is to her, a dominatrix stereotype, that's what' was great about the original character. Characters in this pile of vomit they dare to call "GI Joe the movie" not only don't look like original characters but are nothing like the original characters.

  • @MrHoot1980 Amen

  • @ERod2010 Stephen Sommers and Joel Schulmacher: One is the American Uwe Boll of comic book and toy based movies and the other is just plain lazy when it came to the last two Batman movies.

  • GI joe was a huge turd.

  • Awesome review as always ERod now I'm just going to throw this out there but it seems like Hollywood wants a cross over battle between the G.I.Joes and S.H.I.E.L.D since they added Ironman's armor into this Twilight wannabe

  • I saw this in the theaters regretably.

  • @orichalcossaiyan Sorry. 

  • @ERod2010 Yeah I now hate the guy who played Duke,and the dude who played his partner, and the guy who played Cobra with a passion thank god they didn't use that guy for the part of the riddler and decided to go with Bane instead in the last of the new batman trilogy. If they did have it be the riddler I wouldnt have gone with Depp either probably someone with natural red hair .

  • May I ask? Are you a fan of Michael Jackson? I love the triller music in some of your review. ^^

  • @KSapphire8989 I love his music.

  • @ERod2010 Same here ^^

  • @OneDeviousBastard I think we love the power walk.

  • well Summer was replaced as the director with the guy who made that Justin Bieber movie...be afraid everyone BE AFRAID.

  • @Vasun05 THats a joke; it has to be; your joking right? Ha ha funny; whose really directing it? Jokes aside I'm very afraid...

  • I am so friking tired of them casting young jerks to play awsome roles.Brandon Routh is a good actor ,but he was seasiously miscast as superman.

  • @allthingssuper Thank you for saying that, it means the world to me.

  • Theres gonna be a sequel :/

  • @EmoKidRH It's planned, I don't know whether they are going to make it anymore.

  • @ERod2010 IDK if you've heard, but the second one is going ahead, and it's being directed by the guy who directed Step Up 2, Step Up 3D, and Never Say Never. We are fucked

  • @EmoKidRH i didnt pay much as i recall to rent GI Joe. i regret it though. coz it was a huge pile of shit

  • nice review it was cheesy and gi babies lolx

  • sry dude but I thought it kicked assssssssss better than revenge of the fallen plus yaum acutly it has prety cool action scenes and all the flash backs R so ppl can get to know the charecters similar how I do with the main charecter in my ne machinma u get to see the leaders past a how he became badass

  • wrong it dosen't start like that u see james macaluin getting caught and than got a meatal mask on his face that just got off the fire hmmmmmmm funny same mask was used on destro and they were both called destro and wat both got caught for was selling to both sides can I say the macaluin family is stupid

  • 3:19 *coughStarTrek2009cough*

  • Glad i never watched this movie as i can't stand Waynans. As for it havin nothing to do with the cartoon if i had seen it i would have been none the wiser as i never saw that either.

    ActionMan > G I Joe

  • The kid that plays young snakeyes is the kid from Leo Little's Big Show.

  • @gamer1thecool Cool, I didn't know that! FYI him and Denis Quade, Best actors in the movie!

  • Did this movie bomb?

    Great review once again.

  • @Trencher1375 Yes it did, it was #1 it's first weekend and then drop to #3 by it's next weekend.

  • i know mark strong is getting rather typecast in villianous roles, but he would have made a great cobra commander. i could see him taking on a dennis quaid "Duke".

  • @nightowl685 Now that's what I'm talking about, throw in Jessie Ventura as Ship Wreck and we got our selves a movie!!!

  • sort out yer teeth dude.

  • you need a moooooooooontage!

  • @KillerPikmin We all need a Montage!

  • @ERod2010

    Haha, I was singing the song from Team America... that's all I could remember from it

  • @KillerPikmin Oddly enough I wrote a montage song in film school only to find out they had already had one in Team America. I decided to use mine anyway for this review.

  • MY brothers werry like it the GI Goe series :-D

  • @Diss8787

    Gi Joe

  • for the first time i actually disagree with u on this review the movie had lots of action and a good story and why the hell will u want old dudes playing gi joe the cast was great to me and the cliff hanger was great also and finally if there were no flash backs how would there be any story the movie is called gi joe RISE OF COBRA

  • @secretcast Really? This is the movie you want to defend? The Movie that has the guy from Step Up, and guy from White Chicks put on Iron man Armor and murder half of Paris....I would say more but I'm in the middle of unnecessary flashback that reveals nothing important about my opinion...NOOCH.

  • @ERod2010 first of all wat does white chicks and step up have to do with their role in this movie second of all its called acelerater suits not ironman armour(they did this to beef up the action which i thought was a good idea cuz i mean who likes seeing guys shooting guns anymore)lastly u said they had their own personalties or something which i do agree with...but wat ur trying to say is to put another 45mins telling how each of them became who they are.....so yes the flash backs were needed

  • @secretcast Alright, before this turns in to a silly game of internet tag. Keep in mind that what I do is for entertainment and should not be taken seriously. If you disagree with me, that's okay. Just don't take it to heart, it will just make us both bitter. Now I ask you, where you a fan of the G.I. Joe cartoon? Cause fans of the toon seam to agree with me,

  • @ERod2010 MANY of your opinions aren't the kind I can't take seriously O great Blockbuster buster! Mainly because you're usually RIGHT.

  • Are you gonna review a star wars prequel?

  • @totallyirreverent Episode I The Phantom Menace will be my 100th review.

    ERod

  • @ERod2010 By the time you do that will forget about Youtube so you better work fast.

  • Erod has the coolest shirts...

  • @70alt1 You know it, now tell your friends.

  • Lol, great review. I can't believe I missed all those Mummy cameos when I saw this, I must not have been paying that much attention to what was happening.

  • @SpaceOdyssey44 Sommers puts Kevin J. in all his movies, but this was a bit excessive.

  • Thought the movie sucked , Great video though ERod..

  • @Horrormaniacs1 Thank you.

  • I am so happy I did not see this movie. Thanks. Ending on a cliffhanger. That's counting your chickens before they hatch. Like Stallone with the Expendables.

  • @Alkimodon Sommers did the same shit with Van Helsing both movies suffer from a decease I like to call Sequel-litis,

  • Another prime example of Hollywood raping my childhood. The whole matching ninja/x-men uniforms really pissed me off. I actually blame the Matrix for the whole "heroes in black" movement, but that's me.

  • @johnnyhorror92182 Actually Blade did it before the Matrix. Remember, in the comics, Blade was a hobo who fought vampires with little wooden sword. Suddenly in the movie he goes on a shopping spree to Armani and The Army Surplus Store.

  • I enjoyed the movie, myself. After turning off all brain functions not related to breathing, seeing, and hearing.

  • @PerfectWences I'm sorry, but after watching the IronMen massacre half of France I when straight to HATE MODE!

  • Epic man, epic, great job, great review i was laughing the whole time
