Fade Rathnik Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Looks like they are wearing some kind of pussified version of the Crysis nano suit Quote
azrael Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 first clip of some action Color me un-impressed. I'm not liking the suits... Quote
chowyunskinny Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 (edited) full superbowl spot here in quicktime 480p, 720p and 1080p Edited January 31, 2009 by chowyunskinny Quote
Gaijin Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 full superbowl spot here in quicktime 480p, 720p and 1080p Hmm..Snake Eyes scenes looked pretty cool. Baroness is hot. Suit things weird. But I'm hopeful...I will see it. Quote
CoryHolmes Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Normally I'm the first one to call crap on crap movies. I haven't seen the third Spider-Man or X-Men films, for example. And yet, this looks decently entertaining. I'll withhold more judgement until more clips and the movie itself is released, but this looks like Iron Man and Transformers: brainless, summer popcorn flick Quote
David Hingtgen Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Baroness looks better, Scarlett looks worse. (I can only handle so much blatantly fake red--when it starts getting into the pinkish-maroon-utterly-impossible category it really irks me, especially when the character's supposed to be a natural redhead) (it's also pretty darn inconsistent from scene to scene--which happens with intense fakey red dye as it's reapplied every week during filming---real red doesn't have that problem) Quote
bluecyclone Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 F*ck this movie, serious, I love GI Joe, but f*ck this movie. Quote
chowyunskinny Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 I'm Really lowering my expectations for this one, that way if it's actually bearable, it might be entertaining but I'm predicting a 46% on rottentomatoes Quote
Vermillion21 Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 I'm Really lowering my expectations for this one ... me too Quote

She's hot and has big breasts....Next! this guy is playing Ripcord and snake eye's body looks like it's made of the same stuff as what's keeping this mountain dew cold Not to mention that his visor looks like it has the heating elements from the rear window of a hatchback for defrosting And why does he have lips?

David Hingtgen Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Hey, when a character is defined by their coloring and little else, when that's screwed up--what's left? (this affects Transformers more than GI Joe though) Quote

(this affects Transformers more than GI Joe though) Appropriate casting is more important to me than hair color. The guy playing Storm Shadow is Korean. The kid from 3rd Rock from the Sun is playing Cobra Commander. If you're biggest beef is an actress dyeing her hair red, then bully for you Edited February 1, 2009 by chowyunskinny Quote
anime52k8 Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 (edited) I hate the version of G.I. Joe this film is based on utterly, (seriously, real G.I. Joe's are 12 in F*cking soldiers, not miniature Village people). that said this looks entertaining, and F**K france Edited February 1, 2009 by anime52k8 Quote

anime52k8 Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 ok, so what's the deal, did you have an older brother that passed em down In the 90's they tried to bring back the old style 12 inch figures. I got into those from my dad who used to own the big ones back in the 60's when he was a kid. Quote
EXO Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 guess somebody wasn't a kid in the 80's. They already made a movie about man dolls, it was called Mannequin what about the remake? Lars and the Real Doll... Quote
bsu legato Posted February 1, 2009 Author Posted February 1, 2009 This looks loud, over-the-top, puerile, and above all exceedingly stupid. IE, everything that I ever imagined a Stephen Sommers GI Joe movie would look like. The teaser looks like little more than some random scenes from Van Helsing updated with a 21st century look. Obviously he's done nothing but hone his "CGI things leap around the screen at a feverish pace" aesthetic since he last had a movie slither into theaters. For those whose main concern is (still) the dye in Scarlett's hair, what a marvelously sheltered little world you must live in. It must be nice to view the world through those child-like eyes, and not having to worry about grown-up things like story, acting, editing, etc. Personally, I'll be steering clear of this movie not because some actor doesn't have their natural hair color* but rather because this movie looks like a Tornado Whirlwind Kick to the scrotum. *news flash: Tom Cruise wore a wig in Michael Mann's Collateral. Oh noes! Grey hair affectionados unite! Quote

David Hingtgen Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 I have many issues with the casting, I just like to mention one more than the others. (wanna guess my opinion on the Baroness having dark brown hair instead of black?) Some men are ass-men, some are breast-men, and some are even foot-men. I like hair. PS--" For those whose main concern is (still) the dye in Scarlett's hair, what a marvelously sheltered little world you must live in. It must be nice to view the world through those child-like eyes, and not having to worry about grown-up things like story, acting, editing, etc" Yes, because all the actresses in this movie were clearly chosen for their multiple Oscar-winning roles, and not their sheer appearance, and the script is obviously among the greatest works of mankind. If they were aiming for anything other than childish and purile interests, they wouldn't have chicks in skin-tight outfits firing laserguns. Quote
Vermillion21 Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 The kid from 3rd Rock from the Sun is playing Cobra Commander. I am still trying to grasp the logic of this casting decision for the movie ... like WTH??? :huh: Quote
bsu legato Posted February 1, 2009 Author Posted February 1, 2009 >snip< You know...you keep posting, but it does nothing to make your argument look any less retarded. Maybe you can tell us all your opinions on hair extensions while we're at it. Quote
chowyunskinny Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 I am still trying to grasp the logic of this casting decision for the movie ... like WTH??? :huh: I was trying to be open minded about it and then I thought back to the last thing I saw him in, which was Havoc. He played a white teenage kid who was a wannabe gangsta. Yeah, have no idea why they picked him. Anybody else seen him in another movie lately? I think he was in the Lookout and Stop Loss which I never saw. I think the kid playing Duke was in Stop Loss also. Maybe that's why. Quote
Greyryder Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 They've taken the one franchise that would translate well to live action, with minimal changes, and turned into a superhero movie? I just want Iron Man to come swooping in, and shut down their "power suits" on the grounds that their illegaly using Stark technology. GI Joe: Armor Wars. Seriously? What happened to these guys just being really good soldiers? I'll check this out, when the DVD hits the bargain bin. I got turned off this early on, when they started dressing everybody like Snake Eyes. The high speed gymnastics down the street has done nothing to change my mind. Quote
CoryHolmes Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Seriously? What happened to these guys just being really good soldiers? That went out the window when the comics started Snake Eye down his super seekret ninja skillz arc. It's not like this is anything new, especially when you consider some of the directions the cartoon went... Quote

I think you're missing the important part here, and that is that Rachel Nichols is a babe and if You're looking at here hair long enough to notice that it's dyed... Quote

You might wanna check out the teaser trailer for GI Joe Resolute. It'll be an online cartoon, but it looks to be more promising and more up your alley. Bullets instead of lasers. And the sweet, sweet release of Cobra Troopers dying. Not parachuting out of FANGs, or running away from enemy laser fire, but getting shot, slashed, and cut the f*ck up by a geniune commando/ninja.
