Dude, it's a clip.

Also: Extraction.

Been hearing good things about this, surprisingly.

This movie looks epicly bad. Like, not Transformers bad, much much worse

Well actually...

Lookin kind of fun.

OHHHHHH!


I thought it was the whole movie.

It's a bad clip.

I would tell you again how bad this movie looks, but Kalyx is policing such things

*Taps baton in hand*

So i was thinking about this movie today and is anyone else expecting it to end like the Street Fighter movie ended...

That scene at the end where they all posed and it freeze framed on them as it went to credits...

Only difference would be they all yell "YOOOOOOO JOE!"

I've actually seen a graphic novel that possibly follows the plot of the movie...

Oh god, I hope it's NOTHING like that.

Duke used to be in love with Baroness
The Baroness ends up being the sister of Cobra Commander.
Snake Eyes is "like a brother" to Scarlett (A step up from the tv show to be sure, but can't Scarlett just love the guy?)
We see Storm Shadow's face.
Storm Shadow dies at Snake Eyes' hand
Zartan has a bit role
Destro's ancestor was apparently the Man in the Iron Mask...

No.

92% on RT right now.

Yea but it's not being screened for movie critics. Only a select few bloggers from sites that they know will like it.

It's actually causing quite a contreversy. It's common for movies a studio thinks will suck to not be screened for critics, but not big releases.

Saw the movie today. I felt like I was watching a power rangers movie staring the wayans brothers and darth maul.

they should have just gone with a re-release of the 1987 gi joe movie.
also wtf is up with cobra commander being renamed The Doctor..according to imdb at least.

Think about taking the plunge and going to see this. But Destro without the chromedome and the things I'm hearing about Cobra Cmdr. are holding me back.

Will this be worth the $6.00?

Really?

I'd have rolled with it. G.I. Joe the Movie was one of my brightest childhood memories. Up there with Transformers the Movie.

Between this image, and Hitler's outfit from the "Inglorious Basterds" trailer, I think I can go with one thing.

Villians NEED capes.

You suck.

Was expecting some reviews by now.

G.I. JOE: THE RISE OF COBRA
***1/2<O:p
Director: Stephen Sommers<O:p
Starring: Channing Tatum, Marlon Wayans, Rachel Nichols, Dennis Quaid<O:p
Review by Mitchables
It can be difficult for movies based on toys to work on an adult level, since most toys don’t necessarily have rich and intricate back stories that are strong enough to base entire films on. Kids don’t care about that stuff. Kids care about melting their army men in the microwave, bless their easily distracted souls. So it’s fortunate for the parents of those children - and the children of parents who are now too old to be taking their kids to the movies – that G.I. Joe, the seminal action figure and latest Hollywood re-imagining, actually has a deep and lengthy history that has been well tapped for director Stephen Sommers’ live-action adaptation of the Real American Heroes, albeit with some creative liberties of its own.<O:p
The premise is simple enough: Super-secret best-of-the-best military outfit headed by ultra-disciplinarian General Hawk (Quaid) recruits Army BFFs Duke (Tatum) and Ripcord (Wayans) into the fold to retrieve stolen futuristic nanotechnology from the shady Cobra Organisation. Hilarity, sexual tension, high adventure, and giant explosions ensue. And ninja fights. Awesome ninja fights. <O:p
Taking its cue from other recent film adaptations, The Rise of Cobra balances respect for its source material with accessibility for a wider/brand new audience. It’s an origin story, so the viewers are pulled along for the ride with Duke and Ripcord and essentially experience the film’s events as they do. There is obviously some divergence from previous incarnations, which is largely unavoidable when adapting anything, much less a story that has already been developed through toy-lines, multiple TV series and animated films, some video games, and a bunch of comics.
The casting is spot-on: Channing Tatum screams All-American Hero, while Sienna Miller’s Baroness and Rachel Nichols’ Scarlett are both more than capable of showing that although they are beautiful and classy women, they would absolutely ruin your shit if you so much as glanced at them wrong. Marlon Wayans is the big surprise here as he shows extended range beyond being the wacky African-American offsider to which he could have so easily been relegated. Ray Park and Lee Byung-hun bring the hurt as rival bad-ass ninjas Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow, providing some of the most satisfying on-screen swordplay since Star Wars Kid hit the internets. Really, the whole film is undeniably well-cast, which lends it a great deal of credibility.<O:p
A particularly refreshing aspect of G.I. Joe is its global approach to its story. While the film could have culminated with New York or Washington being the inevitable target of deranged villains, Sommers and Co. whisk us away to Gay Ol’ Paris via deserts and the Arctic. This dispels the notion that the movie is a thinly veiled glorification of the American military and instead conveys a sense that this is a grand, visually appealing and ultimately fun story, provided you’re into that sort of thing. A final note, though: There can be such a thing as too much bullet-time. But now you know – and knowing is half the battle.<O:p


Lifted directly from the mag I write for.

3 1/2 out of 10.

That's terrible!

Out of 5.

So I'm guessing there is no buzz for this movie now that it's been seen?

3 full pages before it's release and nothing but one coaxed review since?

All I know is the movie hit the theaters and it's much-cited, pre-critic 93% on rottentomatoes turned into a 39%

I'll probably see it on video but I supspect its just noise and explosions

I think anyone who's seen a preview for this should know what's up. I am literally only going to see this to see how the Snake Eyes/Storm Shadow relationship is handled.

The movie is pretty fun. I liked it.

3/10

This movie sucked all the way around.

you thought this movie was well cast? are you kidding me? the casting was terrible in this.

Subjection.

The Paris scene was the only really cool part of the movie. Everything else just felt like a generic action movie. Cobra Commander was pretty sweet, but he's only in it for a short period. That kinda sucked.

Also, wtf no Hiss Tank?

That was one of my favorite toys as a kid, and it was like THE cobra ground vehicle in the cartoon. Lame.

I remember the night raven tho, so it was cool to see that.

Yeah, I actually found Commander kinda cool and scary. But he gets like 3 seconds of camp time then credits roll.

2hr trailer for a sequel.

Didn't have anything special to it except the Storm Shadow/Snake Eyes fight. Would have been better if they casted someone else as Duke and they should have made Cobra Commander sound snakey instead of like Megatron.

Yeah just watched this. Snake Eyes/Storm Shadow and Joseph Gordon Levitt were the only saving graces.

I loved it, but I was drunk.
