As a kid..watching this every day after coming home from school, the movie already looks like a typical Hollywood overdone, poor story line movie where explosions will be the attempt to make up for the lack of substance and 75% of all people that go to watch will simply go because its GI Joe.

From the previews, the costumes look bad and the acting is horrible.

Anyone else already cringe at this?

When the trailers look that bad,  the movie can only realistically go in one direction.

uh huh, now if they had only stayed with the GI Joe from the 80's comic book...it could have been a really neat movie....I like Scarlet though so I amy see it just to see her, she was my childhood alter ego.

This is the movie that I'm most looking forward to seeing this summer. Looks like it's going to be non stop action and lots of cool effects, can't wait to see it.

Same here. I'll still see it, but I just think from the previews, it's already destined for disappointment.

Its all about Cover Girl.




I thought Lady Jay did a little too much fraternizing with NCOs but Scarlet had a cool crossbow.

The Baroness was the sex. But I would be scared that she would always try to tell me what to do.

I am fully prepared for this movie to be the epitome of suck.

It will no doubt both disgust me, and piss me off at the same time.


But dammit, I'm gonna go see it opening weekend.

It's too "extreme" and new agey "cool", definitely not the GI Joe i remember from when i was a kid.

Sgt Rock of Easy Co. would knock the shit of G.I. Joe.  Not even a fair contest.

The GI Joe cartoon, and the whole "super hero" era of GI joe, with COBRA, all the rediculous characters was gay as hell.

I saw it yesterday in the theater on base for free and it was decent. I'm not going to watch it when it comes out in theaters or pay money to watch it again though... it was entertaining but not great.

Saw a free sneak peak this weekend on post. The movie is a lot of fun, my 8 year old loved it. It's not as liberal as the interviews etc, make it sound. It's fast paced with good effects. Let go of any notion of realism and enjoy.

You never read the comic books as a kid did you? Cartoon was a 30 minute toy commercial. The comics were fucking awesome. More adult themed, Joes died on mission, real weapons, etc....

No, I never read the comic books... All I know is the cartoon was almost as gay as anime.
