G.I. Joe: The Retaliation (trailer #1) http://www.albertafilmratings.ca/images/pgs.gif (http://www.albertafilmratings.ca/movie_ratings_guide/default.aspx) 11/30/20112:25
Hopefully they release it soon. I kinda liked the original GI Joe film and at least prefer it to what Bay did to poor, other 80's toon.

[sweetre15]

Interesting....Cant wait to see what this trailer shows

[Snikt]

Trailer will be here in three days...per The Rock's Facebook page

[sweetre15]

Trailer will be here in three days...per The Rock's Facebook page

Can't wait to have SOMETHING to finally bite our teeth into

[bapi]

Yeah, cool!

[Crockett]

I'm very curious to see the footage, all I'm hoping is seeing that the whole movie being more grounded in reality than the first movie.

[Blight616]

I'm wondering if this is going to be a full blown sequel or a thinly veiled reboot.

[sweetre15]

Here's a sneak peek: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11Zc0glHLUg&feature=youtube_gdata_player

[Crockett]

It doesn't look bad from the little glimpse we've got, especially from a guy who have done mostly dance movies, it looks more of a grounded action movie than the first one and I don't mind that, actually.

[Snikt]

So...makes me wonder if Duke doesn't make it past act 1 :D

[sweetre15]

So...makes me wonder if Duke doesn't make it past act 1 :D

Lol hopefully he dies and resurrects with a better actor playing him lmao

[TheDragonator]

Apparently, the trailer will have the Cobra flag being raised over the White House. :dry:

[Marvin]

I expect a lot of marketing around the rock.
(not so much channing)

and kudos for getting rid of the lips on snake eyes

[jacobed]

Thats awesome. Shows Cobra as a serious threat. I hope Duke dies right away, Tatum is such an awful actor.

[The Infernal]

Is it just me or did the little snippets of the trailer already look better than the first movie? Though that's probably not saying much.

[Anno_Domini]

So...is this a sequel or no?

[rashad]

So...is this a sequel or no?

It's a sequel.

[sweetre15]

I like what I'm hearing so far...Remember that this was written by the Zombieland writers whom are comic fans as well as all around good writers

[Anno_Domini]

It's a sequel.

A true sequel....well, that kinda sucks. I would be excited for the movie if it didn't follow Rise of Cobra at all.

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Interested in seeing the trailer for this, the first movie was dumb fun but there is no doubting they could improve on it, hopefully they have with Retaliation.

[craigdbfan]

Damn does Snake Eyes look badass.

Needs more Delta 6 accelerator suits though.

[henry_9305]

Damn does Snake Eyes look badass.

Needs more Delta 6 accelerator suits though.
Looks like he get rid of that mask with a mouth on it.

[tecnowraith]

looks like they fixed Snake Eyes from the first film, no mouth on the mask this time. YEAH!!!

The full trailer.
bSX2oxLdcWA

[Compi716]

Cobra Commander looks Su-WEET.

[craigdbfan]

1st of all thank you Machinma for saving us of the ET presented version of this. You saved me a migraine or two.

2nd this actually looks pretty kick ass and a lot better than the first one.

Looks really entertaining and Cobra Commander looks like Cobra Commander.

[Crockett]

Seems to be a more grounded action movie than the first one, now I don't hate it but this seems more to my liking, I'm still going to be cautious since trailer can be deceiving but so far it doesn't look like the train wreck disaster as me and others had expected with Chu as the director. And thank f-ing god they fixed Snake Eyes' look.

[Crockett]

I'm hoping Duke is one of the Joes that's gone in the first act.

[rashad]

Now this looks like a GI Joe movie!!

[TheDragonator]

Holy ****....this looks...GOOD.

Wow! At least now it'll be high-octane action without stupid crap otherwise.

Cobra Commander looks BEAST.

[batman44]

While trailers can be deceiving of the final product, this was a pretty good trailer. Cobra Commander and Snake Eyes look perfect:up:

I'm guessing all the Joes (aside from Snake Eyes) in the first flick are killed in the attack.

[batman44]

Edit: double

[Blackman]

Didnt like the first one but this looks sick

From what I gather from the trailer everyone dies except The Rock, Palicki, Snake Eyesand some third guy? Interesting plot if they really kill off Duke

Also who is playing Cobra Commander?

[Marvin]

Looks a lot better than the first. The decision to ditch Marlon Waynes and funky toy suits helps. Also selling the movie around the Rock and the ninja is a great move.

This looks a lot like Chu's earlier work to be honest, and that's a good thing.
Especially that money shot towards the end(kinda reminds me how good Begins could have been in that aspect).

I also suspect Tatum is killed off in that first act Transformer attack on the base.

They should have pulled a Captain America and saved this puppy for the Super bowl.

[cronosred]

I liked the first movie but when news started to come out about the sequel I had no hope for it until I saw this trailer, I'm now excited about it, I do hope Cobra Commander's in it.

[rashad]

http://i.imgur.com/aTG7H.png

[Sawyer]

This actually looks shockingly decent. Much better looking than the first.

The lesser presence of Tatum Channing certainly helps. :o

[Crockett]

I still can't believe Cobra Commander is in this, since JGL didn't return and there's no mentioned about an actor replacing the role I thought with Stevenson in the movie they're going to make Firefly the main villain, good to know that's not the case.

[Lencho01]

Looks cool.

[Liam_H]

Looks a lot better than the first, the effects actually look legit this time when it seemed $175 million was just wasted on the last one. Also, Snake Eyes looks so much better now.

The music in the trailer got quite annoying at a certain point. I thought my speakers were dying or something.

[LostSon88]

Mr. Chu...you now have my attention.

Great trailer.

[The Infernal]

I'm guessing all the Joes (aside from Snake Eyes) in the first flick are killed in the attack.

*crosses fingers* Please Marlon Wayans, Marlon Wayans, Marlon Ways. R.I.P. We never needed/wanted you. :oldrazz:

The movie already looks a whole lot better than the first. Still I'll wait until the word of the first previews before I decide whether I see this one.

[def28]

Wow, Cobra Commander looks like Cobra Commander! ****ing awesome. About time. Jinx and Snake Eyes look great as well. Cool Trailer overall.

[Liam_H]

As some other people have pointed out, it did feel sort of like Ghost Protocol (plot-wise) just by comparing the trailers.

[Symbiotic]

Snake Eyes vs. Storm Shadow: Round 2! My body is ready.

[def28]

As some other people have pointed out, it did feel sort of like Ghost Protocol (plot-wise) just by comparing the trailers.

Yeah it did, even the sound effects and beats in the intro resembled it. Guess every action flick uses those nowadays though.

[J.Howlett]

Who's playing Cobra Commander...?

Listen, love the heck out of the first one, even if it does get a little loopy sometimes but the energy through out that bad boy is fun.

This one looks a bit more serious but still seems to be having fun. A shame about Rachel not making it back but everything else looks nice.

Snake Eyes looks fantastic.

[Quasimod0]

That was amazing!

[Wolfwood]

Wait, where are the super suits? Those were the best part of the first movie! And no Marlon Wayans? Fail.


...Nah I'm just ****ing with you guys, that trailer looked surprisingly good. Cobra unfurling their banners on the White House looked cheesy in a good way and Snake Eyes' ninja battle on the side of the moment is the kind of over the top action that makes ninjas so awesome.

Also kind of surprised that they made it look like Tatum was taking a backseat to the Rock.

[Sgt.Pepper]

I'm impressed, it definitely looks better than the first one. Along with an improved cast, the script by Paul Wernick & Rhett Reese and better action than its predecessor, and we may be in for a treat.

[CholoWithCheese]

Yeah everything worked about that trailer. STORM SHADOW, SNAKE EYES (no lips yesss), and JINX holy ****

[The Infernal]

...Nah I'm just ****ing with you guys, that trailer looked surprisingly good. Cobra unfurling their banners on the White House looked cheesy in a good way and Snake Eyes' ninja battle on the side of the moment is the kind of over the top action that makes ninjas so awesome.

I know what you mean. I laughed a bit, but I think it will still be fun to watch in the theatre. Plus did anyone get a Superman 2 vibe from that bit?

Also kind of surprised that they made it look like Tatum was taking a backseat to the Rock.

I barely noticed him in the trailer, so that's probably one of the reasons I don't have much complaints about it. Saying that though I'd have no grievance if they chose to have the Rock as the lead.

[Ultimatehero]

I liked the first one. I'm not that hyped for this one, except for Bruce Willis (who I am hoping is in more of the film than just a brief cameo). Reason? The budget just looks significantly reduced.

[Lencho01]

What do you guys think of Snake Eyes' new suit? I like it, though part of me was hoping his mask would be cloth-like. At least it isn't like the last one which still baffles me whenever I look at it.

[Spider-Vader]

This looks awesome! A more serious tone, The Rock, Bruce Willis &, what appears to be, alot more Snake Eyes!

[Marvin]

Selling the rock as a Joe leader over Tatum as a Joe leader seems more plausible.

[samsnee]

Looks a helluva lot better than the first one. Guess Channing bites it early on. And I like how they imply that John McClane could be in this.

[The Infernal]

What do you guys think of Snake Eyes' new suit? I like it, though part of me was hoping his mask would be cloth-like. At least it isn't like the last one which still baffles me whenever I look at it.

Definitely an improvement. Though the thing is, weren't most people happy with his look when they first saw the promo pics for the first one? I noticed a lot of positive feedback for it. I think the problem is that it only looks good in those promo pics or when he's in shadow. They tried to emulate a certain look from the comics and in that kind of lighting it does look like they got it, but the facade crumbles when he's in a well lit shot and then it looks goofy.

[Snikt]

Sad if it's true they kill off Duke. I'm a fan of the character, not Tatum

[Spider-Who?]

I liked the first one. I'm not that hyped for this one, except for Bruce Willis (who I am hoping is in more of the film than just a brief cameo). Reason? The budget just looks significantly reduced.

Yea, but considering it looks like the budget isn't wasted on ludicrous amounts of poor CGI, I'm fine with it. The first film is one of a very small number of films that were so bad I had to turn it off not 20 minutes in. This looks significantly better.

[Hotwire]

I'm looking forward to this. Starting to gain confidence in the director. The Rock holding that .50 cal cannon, now THAT'S Roadblock!! Also, really liked the remix of 7 Nation Army for the music.

[Liam_H]

I liked the first one. I'm not that hyped for this one, except for Bruce Willis (who I am hoping is in more of the film than just a brief cameo). Reason? The budget just looks significantly reduced.

It ironic considering the effects in the last movie were pretty terrible, it seemed Sommers didn't care some shots seemed like CGI cuts scenes. This looks a lot more polished and less cartoony.

[def28]

Is it confirmed Scarlett, Destro and Baroness are out of this one?

[Liam_H]

Rachel Nichols(Scarlett) has already said she wasn't offered a role even though she wanted in.

[CholoWithCheese]

Storm Shadow looks bad ass too. More like a white ninja than a guy with a white jacket with a white ski mask on (Gi Joe 1)

[The Infernal]

Is it confirmed Scarlett, Destro and Baroness are out of this one?

All but confirmed it would seem. I only miss Scarlett and Destro. We never got to actually see the real Destro until the end just like CC and I was disappointed with Scarlett in the first movie because some of the interviews for the first movie overplayed that they were going for the Scarlett/Snake Eyes relationship when in the movie they barely acknowledge on another, instead seem to suggest done in a thousand times before type of relationship between Wayan's character and Scarlett where the smart girl plays hard to get with the dickish hero character.

That and she was such an idiot in the first movie (though the whole thing was very badly written). Really couldn't stand the "I can't scientifically prove emotions exist, therefore I don't believe in them". One of the many times I just felt like there was a desk somewhere in the world that could do with my head hitting it.

And lets just not mention how badly written the Baroness origin was.

[Sawyer]

Hey, Sommers! The guy who directed the Justin Beiber movie has made a significantly better looking film than yours. You might want to get your **** together. :o

[Lencho01]

Definitely an improvement. Though the thing is, weren't most people happy with his look when they first saw the promo pics for the first one? I noticed a lot of positive feedback for it. I think the problem is that it only looks good in those promo pics or when he's in shadow. They tried to emulate a certain look from the comics and in that kind of lighting it does look like they got it, but the facade crumbles when he's in a well lit shot and then it looks goofy.

Yeah, I remember the reaction being positive which baffled me as well. His look was so simple, but they still found a way to screw it up. It's like they really didn't realize the "tone" part of things is just how a lot of people in comics look. He looked like a shirtless guy to me.

[DyeLorean]

Nice trailer! I liked the first one too, but this one doesn't seem so 'fantastic', the tone looks a little bit more serious.
Bruce Willis has a cameo (again, like in Expendables) or his role is bigger than that?

[Marvin]

And not one word of pro america propaganda from the internets.
Yo Jo.

[TheWiseGuy487]

I'm looking forward to this. Starting to gain confidence in the director. The Rock holding that .50 cal cannon, now THAT'S Roadblock!! Also, really liked the remix of 7 Nation Army for the music.

It's by Glitch Mob. I really love that remix, so hearing it in this trailer was a pleasant surprise.

I heard that film was pretty good for what it was. Though, I'm never going to see it. Same with his Step Up film. I do like his Legion of Extraordinary Dancers.

[Snikt]

I wonder if any of the characters from the first will even be acknowledged?

[def28]

Rachel Nichols(Scarlett) has already said she wasn't offered a role even though she wanted in.

Gotcha. I would have not minded her coming back. Guess Lady Jaye replaced that role.

All but confirmed it would seem. I only miss Scarlett and Destro. We never got to actually see the real Destro until the end just like CC and I was disappointed with Scarlett in the first movie because some of the interviews for the first movie overplayed that they were going for the Scarlett/Snake Eyes relationship when in the movie they barely acknowledge on another, instead seem to suggest done in a thousand times before type of relationship between Wayan's character and Scarlett where the smart girl plays hard to get with the dickish hero character.

One of the many times I just felt like there was a desk somewhere in the world that could do with my head hitting it.

And lets just not mention how badly written the Baroness origin was.

Yeah, I was hoping they could give the characters a bit more justice in this one. Really wanted a cool banter scene between Destro, Cobra Com, and Baroness. At least Cobra Commander seems to be getting a big improvement so far. The Scarlett/ Snake Eyes relationship would have been a better move for sure. The Clown of the group gets the hot chick thing should have been cut or Snake eyes should have cut him.

[The Infernal]

And not one word of pro america propaganda from the internets.
Yo Jo.

This reminds me. Even though I'm not American I never really got the international 'Rainbow Six' vibe they tried with the first. Hopefully that's out the door with this one. Though I think this may be in part due to most of the accents sounding a bit iffy (and probably because I didn't care for their characterisations either).

What's also funny is that they had all these people putting on accents and yet they couldn't have made the Baroness Russian. Go figure.

[Pittman4Two]

The Rock is just badass.

This looks action-packed.

[Cagefighterkip]

Download links???

[PWN3R]

Damn, damn, I said god damn. This actually looks great. Nice trailer.

[Liam_H]

The Clown of the group gets the hot chick thing should have been cut or Snake eyes should have cut him.

I wanted this direction also, I thought she was gonna reveal at the end she was already involved with Snake Eyes or something. Because in one of the shots they showed her resting around his shoulders, but I guess that meant they were just close.

[Donut]

I wonder if any of the characters from the first will even be acknowledged?

Obviously the President is the guy from the first one & we do have Storm Shadow & Snake Eyes & that actually looks great

[def28]

Yeah, they didnt do a good job on it. They gave way too much time and credit to Rip cord.

[Snikt]

Obviously the President is the guy from the first one & we do have Storm Shadow & Snake Eyes & that actually looks great

Sorry. I meant the characters that aren't returning from the first film

[Nathan]

Was an ok trailer. Nothing exceptional in my opinion. I'm so happy that they changed Snake Eye's costume. He looks so much better.

[Octoberist]

I love that Cobra Comander looks faithful

[The Infernal]

Obviously the President is the guy from the first one & we do have Storm Shadow & Snake Eyes & that actually looks great

I wonder, did they kill the actual President in the first one or is he locked up in a basement in the White House having to endure Arnold Vosloo saying things like "what's your mother's maiden name?" in an Australian accent? :oldrazz:

[Symbiotic]

I know it's a heck of a longshot, probably almost non-existant, but wouldn't it be something if JGL did just the voice of CC?

[Figs]

I love that Cobra Comander looks faithful

Holy ****, I need to watch the trailer again, I didn't even see him in it. What part is he in?

I'll catch this on Netflix, looks a lot better than the first and I like that they seemed to have changed the look and feel a bit. Seems a lot more serious than the first film.

[jacobed]

He was early on in the trailer, he is standing with 2 guys and one of them looks at him and smiles. Wow that trailer looked freakin awesome and it was basically Channing Tatum less so that leads me to believe he dies very early on. Snake Eyes looks amazing as he did before, I can't wait for his rematch with Storm Shadow that is going to be great. That whole cliff side setpiece looks phenomenal, I also loved the Seven Nation Army remix. I can't wait. If this movie is good than its going to open up huge doors for the director doing action movies.

[CholoWithCheese]

[jacobed]

Man he is ridiculously faithful, Ray Stevenson looks great too

[Nathan]

Definitely much better than the mess of a mask in the first Movie.

[craigdbfan]

The Jason X mask and Michael Jackson perm JGL was sporting was pretty horrific.

Don't know what the designer was thinking.

[CholoWithCheese]

I'm glad they're making it faithful to the 80s cartoon. I mean everyone knows it's based on that, no one wants to see an ultra-realistic GI Joe movie.

[TheWiseGuy487]

I know it's a heck of a longshot, probably almost non-existant, but wouldn't it be something if JGL did just the voice of CC?

Joseph Gordon-Levitt's voice with the more faithful Commander Cobra design? I would definitely be down with that.

There were several terrible things about the first G.I. Joe film, but his portrayal of Cobra Commander wasn't one of them. Even if his look was bad, he definitely had the voice down pat.

[craigdbfan]

His performance was actually pretty ingenious its just his appearance was completely butchered.

[Lone]

This has suddenly become one of my highly anticipated movies.

It still sucks we lost JGL...he should've been in this one instead.

[Liam_H]

Was JGL voice in the first movie 100% him cause I thought I read somewhere there was some audio tweaking.

[craigdbfan]

It was augmented I think.

[The Sarge]

I'm surprised at how much I' looking forward to this, as I'm also surprised at the amount of improvement going on. It looks. . . like a perfection in improvement. That almost never happens.

[Marvin]

They were far better off with their previous release date.
This film could very well do worse that the first because of that fact alone.

[DyeLorean]

I would've never guessed the guy behind Step Up and the freakin Justin Bieber movie was gonna do a follow up to GI Joe and that the first look would be this good. Good for him, I hope the actual movie delivers.

[Ultimatehero]

Yea, but considering it looks like the budget isn't wasted on ludicrous amounts of poor CGI, I'm fine with it. The first film is one of a very small number of films that were so bad I had to turn it off not 20 minutes in. This looks significantly better.

To each his own, to me the very reduced budget shows. I can't see one major summer action spectacle sequence that I haven't seen before in it. The only scene that looks like it hasn't been done before is the fight on the mountain. Everything else looks just... recycled to me. Kinda why I hope Bruce Willis has more than one scene in it - that would be the saving grace of the film to me.

[DyeLorean]

It also had to do with the fact that Sommers uses A LOT of regular CGI. Just look at Van Helsing.

[Ultimatehero]

It also had to do with the fact that Sommers uses A LOT of regular CGI. Just look at Van Helsing.

CGI is not what I'm commenting on. It's the fact that every action scene or rather the whole movie looks like I've seen it before. There's literally nothing new to me beside the mountain scene. That's why it doesn't grab my interest. It just looks like I've seen it before. Story. Action. Everything.

[Van Petrol]

This actually looks pretty good, and up until now I had no interest in this at all.

[DyeLorean]

That's why it doesn't grab my interest. It just looks like I've seen it before. Story. Action. Everything.

No no, I understood what you meant. I was just pointing out that the extreme use of CGI is a trademark of Sommers' movies.

I've seen all that before too, but I don't watch an action movie from a toy collection because is gonna make a revolution in story or action. In fact, I like this kind of movies just because of what that trailer showed.
If it CAN show something new, the better! But I'm happy for what it (apparently) is.

[Ultimatehero]

I didn't expect it to be revolutionary. I just wanted to see at the very least action scenes I haven't seen before. It looks like a February or March level film to me. It has the kind of effect the Contraband trailer had on me. For all we know, it could be a good movie - it just looks like everything else. Which after every other summer trailer out there that does show something different? It just sticks out a lot.

Say what you want about the first movie. As a general audience member I found it enjoyable and a fun ride because it didn't take itself too seriously and showed us things we've never seen before. Still based on the same property, just that film showed us things that weren't done before.

[DyeLorean]

I liked the first movie too.

[Ultimatehero]

I liked the first movie too.

That statement was kind of board-wide.

----

Plus, I think the general audience may have the same reaction I did.

1) Looks like everything else except for the snow mountain scene (summer movie crowd).
2) Hoping Bruce Willis is in it a lot more and not just a one-scene cameo. It's suspicious.
3) "This is a sequel to the movie with underwater fortresses and zany effects, right? What happened?"

I mean, look at Mission Impossible for example - we've seen it before, we've seen the characters before, it's still grounded in action-movie realism BUT it shows us things we haven't seen before. That makes it stand out.

And that reaction for a film coming out a week after 'Brave' and 'Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter' (I've read the script) and before 'Spider-Man' and 'Batman'? They had to have showed us something bold and new. And they just showed us a regular action film with a questionable Bruce Willis scene very reminiscent of how 'The Expendables' was marketed. It just seemed more late Augusty to me.

[Snikt]

I'm not that familiar with GI Joe's mythology, besides some of the basic characters.

What other characters could be a sequel? And is Roadblock a major leading character in the comics/ cartoons?

[TwilightPro101]

I thought the first movie was ok. Honestly, had zero expectations for this, but the trailer has drawn me in. I wasn't even aware, that Bruce Willis was involved with the film until I saw the trailer.

[bapi]

Looks cheap... Like the Losers or something.

[kickass]

I think this looks ok. I love that Cobra Commander looks faithful. Finally. Cus what we got in the first film was unbelievable.

[Hunter Rider]

Very pleasantly surprised, I thought the first movie was garbage but this looks MUCH better in my view, lots of badass action and Cobra looking awesome plus Snake Eyes vs The Red Ninjas!

[Eddie Dean]

Did any one else catch James Carville in the trailer? Between this, The Muppets, Jesse James and 30 Rock, he's been making some pretty awesome appearances lately.

[TruerToTheCore]

Mostly "meh" on the trailer, looks kinda cheap and not overly exciting.

[Hush]

Did Duke die? Only two shots in the whole trailer.

[Snikt]

Did Duke die? Only two shots in the whole trailer.

That's what everyone is speculating. Looks like four Joes against Cobra...and Duke doesn't appear to be one of them.

Of course, trailers can be pretty misleading.

[The Sarge]

CGI is not what I'm commenting on. It's the fact that every action scene or rather the whole movie looks like I've seen it before. There's literally nothing new to me beside the mountain scene. That's why it doesn't grab my interest. It just looks like I've seen it before. Story. Action. Everything.

Nothing we haven't seen before, except that one thing we haven't seen before. Yeah.
In a short trailer.

[tecnowraith]

So from the trailer it looks this film is following the animated series Renegades plot-line. Anyone else think so?

[Thundercrack85]

So from the trailer it looks this film is following the animated series Renegades plot-line. Anyone else think so?

I thought that too. But the first movie did set that up. The President being an impostor, it makes sense that he would turn the military on them

[Spideyfan93]

God, the heroine this time around looks so damn hot!

Don't know who I like better now...Rachel Nichols was smoking. That red dress though...:D

[Jake Cassidy]

^ Yeah. Adrianne Palicki is ****in' hot.

I'm can't wait for this. Looks like it's gonna rock.

[Boom]

Snake Eyes looks infinitely cooler in this film.

[Ultimatehero]

Nothing we haven't seen before, except that one thing we haven't seen before. Yeah.
In a short trailer.

In a short trailer that showed the other action set pieces. All movies have something that hasn't been seen before. But when the majority of it seems to be rehashed? Like 90% of it? Yeah, I'd say that is a major problem in my book. I'm sorry you don't like my opinion, but that's not my problem.

[Octoberist]

The trailer states that Roadblock and a few others are Thr only survivors of Cobra's attack. God I hope they didn't kill off my Rachel Niccols off screen. That would be stupid.

[Kokomo29]

Is that Cobra Commander that I see or are my eyes playing tricks on me?

[Crockett]

Is that Cobra Commander that I see or are my eyes playing tricks on me?

That's CC alright, surprisingly.

[Octoberist]

I hope they ask Tom Kenny to do CC's voice!

[henry_9305]

Trailer looks good, Snake Eyes looks much cooler without mouth on his mask.

[the gael]

I love the new look for both Snake eyes and Cobra Commander

[henry_9305]

I hope some Joes are on mission in other countries so that they avoid the attack.

[Blade X]

It ironic considering the effects in the last movie were pretty terrible, it seemed Sommers didn't care some shots seemed like CGI cuts scenes. This looks a lot more polished and less cartoony.

I agree. If this movie turns out to be much better then the first one in regards to action and special effects, then it will be more proof that you don't need a huge budget and lots of CGI to make a cool looking action movie.

[TIMMAH]

umm I'm going to assume what this trailer leads me to believe about Duke isn't true because Hollywood wouldn't reveal such a spoiler in a trailer right? Kinda bumming me out though. Say what you will about Channing but he's Duke, respect the Duke.

[Lencho01]

Part of me feels some of the actors will be back from the first film in the final act.

[Marvin]

God, the heroine this time around looks so damn hot!

Don't know who I like better now...Rachel Nichols was smoking. That red dress though...:D

Strange to hear this type of thing praised for once. This film project continues to change fan response and how I understood it with each moment.

[CEREBRAL....]

So from the trailer it looks this film is following the animated series Renegades plot-line. Anyone else think so?


Yea i caught that, I wiki the plot-line..well what they have of one and they said it's the joes against zartan, firefly and storm shadow, bascially leaving off from the first film, where Zartan was the prez.

That's fine if they're going this route, and if they can build on this and bring back destro in a third film, great. Because G.I.Joe has enough story lines where you dont have to have everyone in it all at once, if done right.

My only complaint; If we seen flint, lady jay and obviously roadblock then lets have them look like the characters a little, where's flints beret?, where's lady jay's short hair, and they should of had the rock tan a little, i mean he could of been a little darker

without those little elements from what i seen besides S.E., jinx and storm shadow it just looked like a regular action film. But still seemed improved from the first. will stay tune for more.

[Longshot777]

I knew it!!!


It's Roadblock's TEAM :doh:


I like the Rock but c'mon doing this to GIJOE is like having Ironhide the leader of the Autobots and Thundercraker leader of the Decepticons.

Yarael Poof head of the Jedi Council

Colossus leader of the X-men

and so on

Yuuuuup, that's what having the Rock will do.

[Iron_Stark]

Wow pleasantly surprised by the trailer.

But I'm going to be pissed off if they do kill off Duke and Scarlett.

The Rock as the leader of the Joes? Any other person I'd have a problem with it, but come-on, it's the Rock.

BOOTS TO ASSES!

i think the purpose was not to have the regular leader lead....but someone you wouldn't think of...like what would happen if someone did try and succeed in killing off all the Joes

[jacobed]

Between that, capturing Snake Eyes and throwing the flags down at the white house. Id say Cobra is quite the threat in this movie.

[roach]

they had me at Old school Cobra Commander

[Destructus86]

This movie looks freaking AWESOME. Cobra Commander looks fantastic...this is what the first movie should have been. I am SOLD.

The only ones who would catch that Duke is MIA in most of the trailer and presume he's killed off are...fans.

So from their perspective, they're not giving up any spoilers because the only ones who'd pick up on that would be us.

...I gotta say I'm very pleased that they are in fact picking up the story element of Zartan being the President. I was afraid this was going to be a semi reboot ignoring most elements from the first.

Nice to see they'll be continuing the story.

[KenK]

I just can't believe Jinx is in the movie!!! I love that broad!!!

[craigdbfan]

They went Robot Chicken status and killed most of the Joes off. :funny:

Seriously speaking though I won't really miss any of the other characters from the last movie. For the exception of Rachel Nichols Scarlet who was damn hot.

[Hunter Rider]

Isn't Timber in this?

[MessiahDecoy123]

I wish Lady Jaye had short hair but that's just me nitpicking.

This looks alot better than the first.

[Bishop2]

As a Joe fan, the first one really nailed the tone and had good action. Just needed some other tweaks.

This one... oh my god, they're killing the entire surviving cast off right at the start?! That's the kind of quality storytelling you expect from a cheapie direct-to-video-sequel. Amateur hour writing, fellas. I don't care what you think about the first movie - that's crap. That's BloodSport 2. Treat your established viewers with respect, don't burn your bridges in favor of only appealing to newcomers. If you want to start fresh, REBOOT. Don't do this.

And Roadblock has always been one of my favorite Joes for the humor he brings. That ain't Roadblock. That's just The Rock playing The Rock. *sigh*

At least the action looks decent, but this just went from "Moderately Excited" to "I'm Dreading This."

[Marvin]

They are, they kept Snake eyes didn't they.

Bishop, glad I'm not alone - your post practically states a lot of other things that irked me the wrong way.

[Lord Blackbolt]

It looks like Snake eyes and Jinx are carrying a body up a mountain? Who could that be?

Everyone is talking about Duke and Scarlett...what about General Hawk. I thought he was one of the more faithful characters of the first movie.

Also...there's a shot at the end with a bunch of bodies in liquid filled tubes. Makes me wonder if some of the Joes are there to be brought back to life or something. I mean Storm shadow looked like he died in the first movie too...and he came back too.

I feel the same way, this movie looks so generic. Also, I find it funny that this elite GI Joe military unit will now be wiped out twice.

[Hunter Rider]

Yeah I think Ray Park said he was going to be.

Awesome! I just didn't see him in the trailer and wondered if I had made an error. I am also wondering is Storm Shadow will get a new non-crap suit in this one.

The bodies in tubes appear to be wearing Cobra gear. I figured they were giving us some kind of new supersoldiers, but it'd be cool if they were brainwashing some of the old heroes or something; it'd give some hope to the old characters surviving, at least, which is something.

I do find it funny that the only recognizable face on either team that seems to be part of the action is... also one of the only characters who died in the first movie. I'm expecting a revival for Storm Shadow that involves the use of the first flick's nanotech, perhaps. They'll probably just blow past the explanation quickly without really getting into it too much...

Awesome! I just didn't see him in the trailer and wondered if I had made an error. I am also wondering is Storm Shadow will get a new non-crap suit in this one.

You didn't like Storm Shadow's suit the first time? Honestly, I thought that was one thing that nobody complained about. (Although really, I never "got" all the people griping over Snake Eyes' lips. Talk about a really, really minor detail to obsess over when compared to how great the suit looked overall.)

[craigdbfan]

Awesome! I just didn't see him in the trailer and wondered if I had made an error. I am also wondering is Storm Shadow will get a new non-crap suit in this one.

Seeing as Snake Eyes got a pretty slick new costume I would hope Storm Shadow gets a new costume himself.

Can't wait to see those two battle it out as it was one of the highlights of the last movie.

[the_ultimate_evil]

looks like it could be fun, so who actually gets killed off? basically anyone who didn't return.

no scarlet, heavy duty duke?

i take it destro and baroness are not coming back, ahh well at least CC looks decent

ok this is something i've been thinking about after watching the trailer

gi joe became action force in the uk, and the original 12 inch figures were know as action man

so if willis is the first ever joe, you could say his character is the original toy, so therefore bruce willis is the original action man :D

[Bishop2]

looks like it could be fun, so who actually gets killed off? basically anyone who didn't return.

Well, they weren't even invited back. The only one invited back was Channing Tatum; judging by the trailer, he's in it just long enough to get killed in the first 15 minutes. Scarlett, Heavy Duty, Ripcord, Breaker and General Dennis Quaid? All declared dead off-screen, it seems, so The Rock can declare that precious few remaining are "the only ones left."

so if willis is the first ever joe, you could say his character is the original toy, so therefore bruce willis is the original action man :D

Indeed, Willis is playing General Joe Colton, aka the man originally named "G.I. Joe." It's the name that Hasbro retroactively assigned to all of the original G.I. Joe/Action Man toys in... I think 1989? I don't think the name was always there anyway, until then.

it was never used in the uk, we always had it as action man and then the toon was action force, which i found funny about all the fans moaning about the changes the first film made with the characters accents, to the rest of the world thats the way it always was

see personally i was one of the few that didn't mind the changes to character nationality in the first film, mainly because i still feel the changes made to joe for it to become action force actually improved the concept, all they have to do is have duke run the joes and flint run action force.

plus the theme song was just better :o

Yeah you're right Storm Shadows costume doesn't look all that different. No worries I didn't really have all that big of a problem with it in the last movie.

Also, yeah Cobra Commander is perfect incarnate in this movie. The shot Cobra Commander on that boat looks so bad ass especially with his arm behind his back. Just some really good posing there.

[Fettdave]

My theory on Duke, He is probably captured in the initial attack, possibly with some other Joes. He was too instrumental in the failure of Cobra's plot in the first movie for them not to want him captured alive. I kind of figured that Tatum was not going to be in this much, as there were constant twitter updates from the Rock and Ray Park, but Tatum pretty much said he was filming Joe 2 one day, and a few days later he was someplace else already.

[roach]

if your only view of Roadblock is as the BBQ cooking rhyming guy from the cartoons then I think you may be disappointed....someone who follows the comic books mentioned that the mountain rappel ninja fight scene is actually taken from one of the pivotal comics.

[Reel-Man]

Cool looking trailer but as a sequel it's a really dumb move what they are pulling with the Joes. The thing i loved about the first one was it felt like a movie adaptation of a cartoon/toy property and was fun. This one looks like it wants to be more of a war movie than a adaptation of GI Joe. Not to mention why does the Rock always have to be the center of attention in all movies?

[Snikt]

I'm still not sure what my feelings are towards the first film. I saw it in theaters and twice on Netflix.

I guess I like parts of it, but other parts I roll my eyes at.

I think it's fun but a little too corny for my taste. Main problem I had were the villains

That's actually what I like about it. A Movie about War shouldn't feel like a Toy commercial. I always thought, when they adapt it, it should be more serious.

[Snikt]

Exactly!! If they would've made a movie with a serious tone about an elite military unit against a new threat (Cobra) it would've been a little better.

From the trailer, at least, it looks like 2 will be more serious; with a few comedic moments sprinkled throughout.

[batboy99]

Adrianne Palicki. :D

[Reel-Man]

It's a movie based on a cartoon/toys, if they want to make an all out war movie maybe they should do an original story instead of using GI Joe property as an excuse. You have a guy with a metal face, another guy who can't speak and wears a visor all the time. A bad guy that looks like he could be part of Vader's family. I mean let's not kid ourselves, not everything should be given the "realistic" approach that's been the business since Nolan started it with Batman Begins.

[Snikt]

I can appreciate this. But as long as the material is taken seriously, certain elemenTs don't seem so over-the-top.

A man dressing like a bat sounds really dumb. A guy with 3 claws coming out is ludicrous.

But when everything around them is treated in a serious manner, it seems to help.

[cryptic name]

Really liked the trailer. Thought the first movie was dumb but ultimately alot of fun and am looking forward to more. Snake Eyes looks great.

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Finally saw the trailer and was quite impressed, i'm not happy the whole cast of the first movie are either not appearing or being killed off, makes the first movie a bit pointless and I personally enjoy it as dumb fun.

But, Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow were by far the highlight of the first movie and i'm glad it looks like they are front and centre again, the scene with the ninja's on the mountain looks superb from what little we saw so cant wait to see that.

[Hunter Rider]

Yeah you're right Storm Shadows costume doesn't look all that different. No worries I didn't really have all that big of a problem with it in the last movie.

Also, yeah Cobra Commander is perfect incarnate in this movie. The shot Cobra Commander on that boat looks so bad ass especially with his arm behind his back. Just some really good posing there.

I was hoping it would be a bit more militaristic and less Armani, but no biggie.

That was one of my favourite shots outside of the Ninja mountain sequence, it looked like it was a page come to life, I also recall the hovercraft being a big vehicle in the toy line as a kid. The old James Bond fan in me loved the tooled up bike as well. :D

[tecnowraith]

So Cobra gets Firefly but the Joe's does not get Barbeque? What a jip!!!

[archangel_jay]

loved the trailer especially snake eyes, but will be gutted if they kill of or sideline duke during the film

[Nathan]

Would suck for Duke, but I just don't care for Tatum. They should have re-cast the role.

[Marvin]

Funny how the very thing that people mocked about chu(or at least one of), his dancing movies, is one of the biggest selling points in this trailer/project.

That cliffside set piece choreography is straight out of the mind of a dance film director.

Completely agreed with what you said. Not everything in the world is designed to be grim-n-gritty. The crazy sci-fi/fantasy aspects of G.I. Joe's universe are rather at odds with a "serious" tone.

I never had any problem with Channing Tatum. He seems to be one of those actors that people just instinctively dislike a lot, for reasons unknown...

I had honestly never seen him before in anything before the first movie, so had nothing to judge him on, but I thought he was poor in GI Joe:ROTC, he was VERY wooden.

[Nathan]

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

^Channing Tatum :cwink:.

[Nathan]

:hehe:

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

^LOL thought you'd like that!

[Ryudoz]

I'll be a bit disappointed if they do indeed bring Duke back just to have him unceremoniously get killed off. Feels a bit like Cyke in X-Men: The Last Stand, which to me is kind of cheap. Sweeping the other Joes from the first movie under the rug like that also seems a bit cheap too. I dunno, the movie looks okay, but I doubt I'll see it. Didn't care for Tatum's performance in the first movie, but he was far from the worst thing about it. /sigh. Poor Duke. Bad actor in first movie, killed off in second? R.I.P 1SG Conrad S. Hauser (even though he claimed he was a Captain in the first movie, which is ridiculous).

[sweetre15]

1. It'll obviously still have a sense of fun to it, which is what the trailer portrays as well as taken it's subject matter seriously.

2. Correct, if I'm wrong but wasnt G.I Joe:Resolute a pretty serious depiction of the G.I Joe mythology?

3. Much like other's have said he's wooden and has no charisma....His characters are the same in every film.

[Bishop2]

2. Correct, if I'm wrong but wasnt G.I Joe:Resolute a pretty serious depiction of the G.I Joe mythology?

Fairly serious. Not without humor, though. And the last-chapter reveal/twist was QUITE goofy, but I thought it was endearingly so.

3. Much like other's have said he's wooden and has no charisma....His characters are the same in every film.

I don't think he's bad at playing largely the same character, though. Let's face it, most actors seem to play the same character 95% of the time. At least this guy's capable of conveying emotions other than his usual "I'm a bro, bro" when the occasion demands for it, like in his romantical flicks. Perhaps the biggest outside-the-box part for him was in The Dilemma, which was a different character for him that he pulled off pretty well, too bad the flick itself was crap.

So there should be no problem with the tone of this movie:woot:

[LostSon88]

Has anyone brought up the idea that maybe Duke is captured alive?

I just can't see Chu (who is in fact a big Joe fan) killing him off. Even though yes, I have heard that its been done in the cartoon/comics, etc.

Not that I can see. A quick check on Wiki says:

"Zartan (who is last seen in disguise as the President of the United States) frames all G.I. Joe operatives as traitors and wipes most of the joes out with a sneak attack, leaving only Duke, Roadblock, Snake Eyes, Flint and Lady Jaye."

Yet it seems like he seemingly disappears from the trailer after two quick shots. No real reference to him being made (although it IS just a trailer), gives me the same vibes TLS did with Cyke. I have a feeling that this will indeed be the case. I'd love to be wrong, but I doubt I will be.

As far as I can tell there's no online source I can find to corroborate what Wiki is currently stating.

[archangel_jay]

just watched the trailer again and when the joes get attacked, if you look at the cap where the rock rips some dog tags and says they are all dead....the face looks like channing tatum.....

it is starting to feel like the cyclops scenario in x-men. i thought chan with a good director was a good fit for duke, him and nicholls should have been kept.

[LostSon88]

It's not him. I looked at that too.

Before this gets totally blown out of proportion keep on mind that this whole "Duke is killed" is pure speculation based on THIS TRAILER.

This isnt like X3 where people read an early draft of the script and spoiled Cykes death. We don't know anything about this movie that could suggest anything about Dukes fate other than that he's missing for most of the film.

He could be dead, he could be captured, he could be anything...

I'm Just saying lets just wait and see until we get more info before "burying" Duke.

...again, this is all based on the 1:45 seconds he's not in the trailer.

[Darkness Falls]

i completely missed cobra commander in the trailer :(
glad people on here have a good eye for detail :D his new outfit looks great

If it gets Tatum out of the movie I'm not worried over Duke's death, although I'd be surprised if Tatum came back for such a small cameo, unless they threw a big wad at him.

Look at what Duke is wearing when he's talking to the Rockblock. They are both wearing the same type of armor. The body he rips the tags off is not wearing that armor. I really don't think Duke dies in this. There are too many younger kids whose first exposure to Joe was ROC. To kill off Duke smacks too much of killing Optimus in the animated movie.

i hope you are right, i really think this time he will do it justice and show people why he was picked the first time round

[MessiahDecoy123]

Are you guys comparing a Peter Cullen voiced Optimus Prime to a Duke played by Channing Tatum?

Nobody is going to miss Channing. He's a piss poor choice for Duke.

[Nathan]

I doubt any kid would give a single f**k if they'd kill off Duke. Especially this Duke. Now if they would kill off Snake Eyes, that'd be a whole different story.

[Darkness Falls]

yea, i really doubt kids would care if duke got killed compared to snake eyes

[TheVileOne]

ROC still wasn't very successful for that type of film. It was way overbudget and it underperformed. Also the toys didn't do very well according to Hasbro. Even Hasbro said, "we could've done better."

[Zant]

Dvd sales.People tend to overlook them its the reason we got Hellboy 2 and Punisher warzone

[stormshadow]

Duke/Tatum will not die in this movie. He'll probably be captured and have a lesser role. You can hear him talk towards the end, something like "so we really can't trust anyone..." then the Rock/Roadblock says there is one guy we can trust, and out comes Bruce Willis. I'm pretty sure Bruce Willis only has a cameo like the expendables, maybe a 10-15 minute stint. Duke will probably be in the film maybe about 25-30 min.

Also, Cobra Commander only has a cameo as well from what I gather online so far (wiki) and he hasn't been cast in IMBD. He'll probably only be in a few scenes that we see in the trailer. If that's the case, then they will definitely be a third Gi Joe and they can probably explain the missing joes as dead or captured.

It's looking more like this will be Roadblocks rescue team of joes and he'll lead them, which will sorta lead into GI Joe 3 somehow. I don't mind The Rock carrying a lead role. He did a great job in Fast and Furious; every movie stunk IMO in that franchise except the last film.

I think less Joes/Cobra are better as you get more background on character development. This is why Transformers franchise sucked so much. I'm expecting a combination of Gi Joe 1/2 characters in the 3rd film with a few new ones to replace the ones who died. You can't just keep adding new characters and not explaining them, then it's just a different movie entirely. I didn't love the first film, but it would be nice if there was some sort of mention to the missing characters, ie scarlett quit the joes or the marlon wayne character went into the marines and the baroness is on quantanamo bay or something etc. Lol.

What would be really awesome and that's looking ahead, is that the third film combined gi and transformers slightly without any transformers in it somehow. They could somehow mention the decepticons and used their technology to create serpentor.

[baxter302]

i think it looks pretty awesome. the attack on the joes bases gives a valid reason why we don't have the same joes from the last movie, and cobra looks AWESOME. also any movie with ninjas fighting on the side of a mountain is win in my book.

That was Flint/DJ Cotrona who said that.

I think Duke's dead, and I think it's a huge mistake.

[samsnee]

I just want to see Ripcord die.

[Hunter Rider]

If they keep Duke they keep the poor actor, so in my view it was a good creative call on the directors part if Duke is killed off, unfortunate for a big character? yes, but there's always collateral damage when trying to salvage something.

I really don't think anything Channing Tatum did in the first film was bad. Does he often portray the same kinda character? Yeah, but it's not like he comes off as bad or inept.

Really, the "collateral damage" is... everyone who enjoyed the first film. If you're gonna burn all the bridges with everybody who already liked your franchise in favor of newcomers, though, you should've just rebooted. That way you can appeal to both.

[The Morningstar]

Well it's a good thing not a lot of people liked the first film then.

[cronosred]

I liked the first film but as others have said the first one underperformed and wasn't well received by the audience, the movie barely got a sequel so I can't blame the studio for making some big changes when it came to this film. I'm happy were getting a sequel and it looks like their actually trying to make a better movie then the first, something I wish would have happened with Transformers 2. Also I don't hate Channing Tatum but he was miscast as Duke, nowhere in the film did I feel he could be the leader of the joe team, IMO in the movie he comes off as someone without much confidence so although Duke is one of my favorite Joes I won't mind so much if they kill him off due to miscasting.

[DJ Kornphlake]

Maybe they'll change their mind about killing Duke of in post-production and add a line to one of the other characters informing the rest of the team he recovered from his injuries. :awesome:

Like they would ever do that in a G.I. Joe movie. :cwink:

I showed my seven year old cousin the trailer. He liked it, but he had 2 questions:

1. Is Duke in this?

2. How is Storm Shadow alive?

My answer: He's a ninja.

I just think the guy is a block of wood, the only decent perofrmance I have seen from, him was in A Guide To Recognizing your Saints.

I think anyone who enjoyed the first film will be just glad Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow are back and they have used the plot point oz Zartna now being in the White House to good effect. I doubt many will be bothered about the rest from the first movie.

[Jake Cassidy]

I'm a little disappointed that Scarlett isn't coming back, but I'll get over it.

[THANOSRULES]

I approve of the Trailer!

My initial reaction to GI JOE 1 trailer / clips was very negative,

But with GI JOE 2 i get a great vibe.

Very impressed! That Cliff scene looks awesome!

[Donut]

Was I the only thinking that Duke was going to show up when The Rock said at the end "There is someone" ?

That was me as well. I was excited about a live action Joe film and then the trailer hit. I was like, UGH. went to see it and walked out so very disappointed, and that was with low expectations.


This trailer for Retaliation actually has me excited. Hopefully they corrected some things and this will be the Joe movie that more fans were expecting.

[Paradox1]

awesome trailer, can't wait to see this

[Whiskey Tango]

Despite my intense dislike of the first one, that shot of the Cobra flag and banners on the White House + Willis and Rock won me over.

This franchise gets a second chance from me; I hope they can recover it.

[Golgo-13]

Trailer looks good.

Yeah, i'm late seing it. I forgot that Zartan had taken on the face of the Pres in G.I Joe 1.

Where the hell is the shot of CC btw...?

General Joe Colton, the original G.I. Joe.

I saw that but was looking for the CC design from Joe 1. If this is CC then i'm very happy. They should have done that in Joe 1. If he's going to be masked throughout the entire movie then there's no need for Levitt to come back.

Now how do they fix he mess they made of the Baroness character...?

[Whiskey Tango]

brainwashing or clone - that's how the comics always did it :woot:

[FmaRara]

[b]We were at the edge of divorce when I decided to try this. Years and years without delight of orgasm and sexual satisfaction. This could ruin any life but not ours. viagra for women (http://vexron.com/) worked and I always keep the pill near my bed as nobody knows when my wife asks for more sex. By the way, Kamagra (http://tunedump.com/) works not worse than brand, so next time I can save my money

[Whiskey Tango]

I'm very glad to see yours message here

Not surprising! Everyone around here feels that way. They love me.

So I wonder where Destro is. Will he be dead?

[Golgo-13]

brainwashing or clone - that's how the comics always did it :woot:

They already had her brain washed in Joe 1. Brain washed to be be bad, but she was really good.

Clone would be the way to go. The clone would have to be the bad one as Duke already has a past with the real one.

It's so sad. They screwed up one of the more popular Joe characters for no apparent reason than just for the sake of it...

Ah the details escape me. I really hated the first one. They screwed up a lot more than just baroness though. But hopefully some of it can be fixed.

[mace1]

Interesting.

[Jake Cassidy]

Baroness was 1 of my favourite characters in the movie, when she was being evil. I love deadly, cold-hearted *****es.

[Destructus86]

So I wonder where Destro is. Will he be dead?

He's the president.

[LostSon88]

That's Zartan. Destro is the guy with the silver head.

In any case, the director said in an interview that Destro is in the movie...how much is the question but if I were to venture a guess, probably not very long.
