this was by no means an oscar winner, but it was defiantly an enjoyable ride (provided you didn't come in expecting a five star movie). all you people complaining that it was "nothing special" are completely missing the point. its meant to be a Fun movie, not an Epic oscar winning movie. lighten up and it might actually be enjoyable :)

[44excalibur]

@machdude1 I think that most of the people criticising the movie were hoping it would be a lot more faithful to the Marvel comic book since Larry Hama's storyline was so acclaimed and has such a loyal fanbase, while Rise Of Cobra was made the the guy who did The Mummy and Van Helsing and didn't seem to care about the comic's 25 year history. A decade after the terrible Batman & Robin we got Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, so hopefully someone will get GI JOE right someday.

[machdude1]

@44excalibur yeah, lord knows they don't have any other ideas in hollywood :D

[Spartan331000]

@44excalibur no movies that are made are faithful to the comic book. maybe watchmen was but i never read it, it's just what i've heard from different people. i never liked that movie, but gi joe was far worse. ridiculous acting and just plain lame. i'm not a hater, and i really tried to like this movie but it was just bad.

[44excalibur]

@Spartan331000 Actually, Sin City and 300 were nearly identical to the comic book/graphic novels they were based on, and both Batman Begins and The Dark Knight were based on the graphic novels Batman: Year One and The Long Halloween, so it is possible to be faithful to the comic book source material. Watchmen is another example, and Iron Man came pretty close as well. The film studios simply need to be willing to follow the comics. GI JOE would have been a much better film if they had.

[SupremeCommander85]

@44excalibur But G.I. Joe never started out as a comic book.

[44excalibur]

@SupremeCommander85 Yes, it did. G.I. JOE was first published as a comic book created by writer Larry Hama in 1982 by Marvel comics, and was based on characters from an earlier story Hama had developed called 'Fury Force.' The first 5-part cartoon miniseries didn't premiere until 1983, and the regular series debuted in 1985. Hasbro came out with the action figures in 1981, on which all the characters were based, but the storyline orignated in the comics, which the cartoons never followed.

[SupremeCommander85]

@44excalibur Exactly, G.I. Joe started out as a toyline. The film itself had Larry Hama as a story consultant and the final product seemed to be a mix of both comic and cartoon aspects. I thought the film was pretty good.

[44excalibur]

@SupremeCommander85 It started as a toyline, but without Hama there would be no story. Hama wasn't a consultant; he was there to do a cameo and had very little input other than warning them against having Snake Eyes talk at the end. Where is Snake Eyes and Scarlett's relationship? Since when did he take a vow of silence? Why does Duke have Snake Eyes' backstory? The movie got everything wrong. And mixing the comic with the cartoon is like mixing The Dark Knight with the 60's Batman TV series.

[SupremeCommander85]

@44excalibur No, it's not. The Batman comics have and will always be the only material filmmakers can pull from, G.I. Joe never started out as a comic book and as such, the other media (comics and cartoons) that showcased the stories that surrounded the toyline were used.

[44excalibur]

@SupremeCommander85 Perhaps you'd like to know about the fued in the 80's between Marvel Productions(which co-produced the cartoon) and Marvel Comics, and how the head of Marvel Productions hated comics and even refused to have Spider-Man as their logo as Marvel Comics did. According to Shooter, Marvel Productions were willing to have Sunbow elbow their way between Marvel Comics and the cartoon, yet Sunbow created nothing on their own, they only rearranged everything Hama created.

[44excalibur]

@SupremeCommander85 Perhaps you'd like to know why Duke was the team leader in the cartoon when he didn't originally exist in either the comics OR the action figure line? Hasbro had issues with Hawk's codename, feeling that it was too "politically charged" and Sunbow created the more famliy-friendly Duke for the cartoon, who was essentially a clone of Hawk, only a lower rank. Hama said that was silly because a 1st Sgt. can't be the leader, only the commanding officer can, and that's Hawk.

[44excalibur]

@SupremeCommander85 Snake Eyes and Scarlett's relationship in the comics were also ignored in the cartoons and the movie. Snake Eyes' muteness was an issue for Sunbow and Hasbro as well, and decided to make it seem like Duke was her love interest in the cartoon, even though they have no backstory like she and Snake Eyes have in the comics. Hama always said that he felt the character of Duke was forced on him, while Scarlett and Snake Eyes were permanent residents of his creative imagination.

[44excalibur]

@SupremeCommander85 Duke didn't even exist in the comics until issue#22, after the cartoon came out that same year, mostly as an obligation to fit the character in, even though he had a lesser role and had no relationsihp with Scarlett. Don't even get me started on that Scarlett/Ripcord thing from the movie. And that whole Duke/Baroness plotline was stolen from the Snake Eyes trilogy from the comics as well. I apologize for seeming argumentative, but the comics should get their due.

[44excalibur]

@SupremeCommander85 Forgive me for sounding a little harsh, but G.I. Joe suffers from the worst comics-to-screen translation of nearly any Marvel comic in history, especially when it comes to the treatment of Snake Eyes' storyline. They always elimiate his backstory, whore Scarlett out to some grunt, and diminish Snake Eyes and th story into a cartoon. That's why they should follow Larry Hama's storyline faithfully so they can make a good movie. He's only a Vietnam veteran, for Pete's sake.

[SupremeCommander85]

@44excalibur G.I. Joe was not exclusively a Marvel comic, it was a cartoon and toyline as well. And you can't follow Larry Hama's storyline alone because not only were there many other versions of G.I. Joe to pull from such as Sigma 6, no other comic-based adaptation has followed the storyline of it's comics exactly unless it was a single graphic novel or mini-series.

[44excalibur]

@SupremeCommander85 I'm sorry to disagree with you, but the comics came first in 1982, and everything else was based off of them. Sigma Six came out long after and was a dumg anime-inspired version. Read Marvel Comics' writer Jim Shooter's blog about G.I. Joe and Transformers and you'll read how he says that Sunbow(the company that did the first cartoon) "didn't create or contribute anything." You CAN follow Hama's storyline alone because he created G.I. Joe. Hasbro only created plastic toys.

[44excalibur]

@SupremeCommander85 Like I said, if you didn't follow the first time -- the Marvel comic came FIRST and ran for 12 years from 1982 to 1994; the cartoon came afterwards, lasted only two seasons before being cancelled in 1987, and barely followed the comics. Hasbro had no story to begin with, just peices of plastic. I can't believe you would even mention Sigma Six, since that came out more than a decade later and is generally the least-liked cartoon. Longtime fans like me get defensive about this.

[nsayn94]

this move was stupid. the game cant be any better (mostly because its a movie game)

[nerftendo005]

no matter what people think about this movie, we all have to admit on one thing: there is absolutely nothing special about this film, it's just another dumb summer action movie. it is not a must-see for ANYONE, not even G.I. Joe fans. it's NOT G.I. Joe at all, and there are much better blockbusters available on the market.

[merton8181]

typical shitty american hollywood movie

[nerftendo005]

@merton8181

yes, exactly!

[lolboyy12]

nice advertising ......

[wheelman2003]

HAHAHAH, at the beginning of the interview dude says "NANITES" and its "NANOMITES".

[gomilev]

why do the french always get it?

[stevenpereyra]

Holly Wood Is Destroying My Childhood Memories now :'(

[ZachValkyrie]

This movie is the worlds punishment for only giving Christopher Eccleston one season as The Doctor!!!

[slateflash]

The Baroness is too old for Duke!;P

[ChiaKaCheng]

The movie was so awesome and intense. MUST-WATCH

[skyfire420]

the movie was so cheesy and lame

[psufool]

The movie was a giant, steaming pile of shit. Congratulations, you have shitty taste in movies.

[ChiaKaCheng]

i'll take that as a compliment coming from an american

[psufool]

Haha don't act like some high and mighty intellectual because your not American. By thinking that G.I. Joe was a good movie you have proved your stupidity and ignorance of all things pertaining to film.

[ChiaKaCheng]

do you know whats the comment box for? its main purpose served as a way for ppl 2express their own personal opinions, not a place for arguement, if ur trying to provoke one here, then steer clear, i dun appreciate sarcasm/ "your not American..."i can sense a slight tone of racism under ur voice, plus i din expect u 2 reply, its just a comment next time, dun act like an idiot picking off words behind ur desktop just so u can formulate a semblance of a thought, american...

[psufool]

Actually the comment box is meant for many things. If it wasn't created partially for debate, than there wouldn't be a reply button. There was no sarcasm or racism (Way to pull the race card. That's pathetic) in my comment, but there was overwhelming nationalism in yours. Even though there are many stupid Americans, I agree, not all of us are as dumb as you think. And I'm actually quite a deep thinker you nationalist prick. That's probably why I realized G.I. was a horrible film and you didn't.

[ChiaKaCheng]

明知自己做错了, 还坚持不认错...自命清高的美国人 ^ ^

[psufool]

I don't read or speak Chinese so this is just a cowards way of responding. Way not to prove a point. You're pathetic. And no, that's not racism. That's just what you get for being a fucking idiot.

On top of this, they make better films in Asian countries than they do in America. Believe me, I've seen many. So you of all people should realize that G.I. Joe was abysmal. You must be one of the more simpleminded ones out of your nation.

[ChiaKaCheng]

u r trying to contradicting urself, mate. anyway, im sorry for using disparaging and slang terms against u. god bless u

[psufool]

I'm not contradicting myself at all. Your just assuming I'm a racist for no good reason. I have nothing against asians. I like asians actually.

[BananaSandwich3000]

psufool, go DO something you like, you're wasting your time bashing on a movie that you've already seen and hated on a 'rewind trailer' of said movie on Youtube, that's sad.

The movie, of course will have people who enjoyed it, it's about as good as The Mummy anyways.

[psufool]

BananaSandwich3000, you're wasting your own time by commenting on my comment from over a week ago. And I wasn't hating on the rewind trailer, I was going against some idiot who thought this horrible film deserved an Oscar or something. This movie was terrible, and the director Stephen Sommers is abysmal at best.

[nerftendo005]

i did not like this movie at all, it's one of the worst movies i've ever seen. i wasn't expecting a whole lot, but i would expect any movie to be WAY BETTER than that!

[DIRECTHALO666]

the suit reminds me of halo armor

[catramax]

The video game sucks. DO NOT BUY IT

[vosleon]

Why did you buy it? Im not being mean im serious, why would you buy a movie game?

[catramax]

i didn't buy i just tried it and it was terrible. The only good movies based game is riddick IMO

[Phenomenalhardy]

The Under Ground Base Reminds me of the Death Star. This is My Opinion Only If any of You Disagrees you Can FUCK OFF !!!

[billbuffalo83]

motionempire(dot)com/_15258

[ramonmagallanes23]

get to it already

[mistermjones2000]

The rewind concept is fantastic. Thank you for the upload.

[NicholasKier]

wow, i was really expecting this video to pause the trailer and rag on it at different points for looking so terrible. i love popcorn movies, but come on. these studios are not even trying anymore. mainly, because they don't have to. simpletons will buy into anything that even sounds like something that they are nostalgic for.

[pinkvomit123]

wheres cobra commander ? is he actually in the movie? XD

[kylejp117]

he is but not untill the very end

[eblade9]

hes in the movie

[mackyjaniceantawn]

of course..

[lcpl4man]

Yes but the movie shows how he rose to be commander cobra

[DragoonDude997]

i wish cobra commander was in this trailer

[ikickedyourdingo]

[bigstevecw]

[porkandswine]

cross pollination

[mew10521]

why would fans be mad about his visible lips?

[bartman30012]

cause the fans think that it should not be like that but he would have to get a ski mask or keep that and he looked to weird with a ski mask.Plus it is possible like they said it is to tigh and ray park has to breathe!.

[TheMetallkylling]

this reminds me of the plot of James bond:everything or nothing... the cg of the nanobots looks identical to it too...

[c2a88]

pause at 0:31 and u can see storm shadow in the background jumping down

[RWL666]

are they talking about snake eyes or storm shadow in 3:23?

[carmine741]

they said snake eyes

[skaselecter]

maybe the series which came years after the original comic and action figure line...rock n roll was the original machine gunner...although looking back they were pretty basic and the uni was quite lame...

[skaselecter]

only scarlet and snake eyes are from the original squad...lame!

[callofdutyODclan]

wat about duke? and if he wasnt in the 1st episode i noe 4 a fact heavy duty was in the original series.

[walterkeathley]

Did he sign off by saying,"Go,Joe"? I guess it ryhmes with Yo. Retard....

[flaminhotz5]

sup people say "Go" instead of "Yo"

[mrcat100]

cool!

[cyrusjerome]

i wish they had a better name than G.I. Joe its such a gay name.

[bartman30012]

dude that is a rank in military at least know what your talking about you un american pig!.

[cyrusjerome]

srry i didn't know man.

[bartman30012]

it is cool but at least search next time you know that was just messed up man gi joes like go do stuff under ground infiltrate you know they risk there lives more then grunt soliders cause they go underground.

[madskizophrenik]

Movie is going to rule!!!

[maincharacter84]

I hate those suits.

[Tyotyo999]

Crysis suits :D

[ConnorKent]

I'm if-y about this but the trailer does make it looks decent. I hope it's as good as the recent G.I. Joe Resoulte special that was on Adult Swim. That was awesome.

[FlipSydeGamerz]

hope they make this into a game

[WarSn1per]

They did release a trailer. . . and it looks horrible, but other than that this movie looks great.

[FlipSydeGamerz]

ahah cool,

thx for the update..

[Psykiro]

They are, its being made by Electronic Arts for all systems

[FlipSydeGamerz]

yup i just found out!

but now i feel like not buying this game anymore,

haha.

[csmaster65]

Those suits reminds me of Crysis..

[miniscus5]

LOOKS GOOD!!

[Earthspirit91]

That movie looks awesome.

[iFlyHlGH]

[Slahbarat]

Where did you come from where did you go

[region1111]

These analyses of trailers are pretty cool.

And I love how you ended it with "and knowing is half the battle" :-) :-) Ah, the memories. Best line ever!

[LargeRedRizla]

This, Transformers and soon Thundercats. But my wishlist for film adaptions are these: 1/ M.A.S.K. 2/ Jayce & The Wheeled Warriors

[stiffnuts11]

there coming out with a thundercats movie?

[595moore]

Yeah. They first wanted a live action but then they decided to make it a CGI full length movie.

[5b]

Hell yeah knowing is half the battle!

[lactoseintolerantcow]

that scene where they are dodging missiles it looks like that scene in transformers 1 when ironhide and ratchet are dodging missiles but im not too sure on the names

[hussi434]

lol

[leeshawbrown]

nice

[ImpureContagion]

Who gives a shit? Get a life

[Smasher225]

I second that motion

[lactoseintolerantcow]
