A new Japanese trailer for the upcoming, sure to suck “G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra” has hit the web and it appears it gives us a look at Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s character, the legendary Cobra Commander.
I think the suck level if this “movie” is going to be on an epic scale. Trust me, I hope with great intensity that I’m dead wrong about that… but the chances that I am are very very slim.
The frame the picture was taken from can be found at the 7 second mark of the trailer below.
So honestly… do you think there is any chance this movie will be watchable? Even a little? If so… what gives you hope?

I dont know john why u r hating it but it actually looks pretty awesome.
those suits ruin it completly for me
My hopes for this movie are running on fumes lately.
There’s not much of actual GI Joe…
Since now it’s an international team(which doesn’t exist and never will) and not America’s military elite.
And I don’t quite get Destro being little more than a gun smuggler.
I’m also surprised to see Scary Movie survivor Marlon Wayans still getting work these days.
it’s really got a street fighter jcvd version feel to it. but snake eyes gives me a warm fuzzy feeling like a darth maul and kronan did.
Idk, I’m kinda young, and movies like this I would consider fun and more for the 16-20 age group because of all the action and explosions and stuff.
I mean, it’s just an opinion, but yeah…kinda looking forward to it.
What the fuck, are serious????Not to be mean, but this GI ‘fuckin’ JOE, not Tele ‘fuckin’ tubbies.
I’m sure bc of ur age u think this shit sandwich is cool. But real talk, this is a slap on the face to all The JOE fans. It’s really hard to fuck up when the source of the material is available even YouTube. This shit will make Mortal Kombat look like Gladiator.
When part of the Cobra plan is shooting something at a world famous monument that seems to dissolve the metal in record time, I think that captures the outlandishness of the cartoon pretty well for me. I don’t think it’s going to be great art, but there’s a 5.00 matinee ticket with my name on it for when this comes out.
Are you guys watching the same trailer I am? This looks horrible. This is gonna make Transformers 2 look like Citizen Kane.
Actually, those suits would have “fit” in the Starship Troopers movie. Those booster suits sound like the ones that the mobile infantry units wore in the actual Starship Troopers book.
I agree never thought of that.
It looks like it could be a fun flick.
The real question is will it be the worse than Battlefield Earth? I predict yes.
Rodney, it’s not hate, it’s more resignation.
My really only quarrel with this movie is the stupid addition of the sigma suits….
Sienna Miller sure looks good as the Baroness. Too bad the rest of the movie looks soooo bad.
I’m going to have to say yes. It’ll be good. Stephen Sommers may not pop out movies that look good on first glance in trailers. But the full movie ends up being summer fun, which is what he seems to be all about.
I suppose. I mean, he wrote The Mummy way back when, and it’s practically an action-horror classic now.
I don’t get what all the hate is about. I don’t have a massive retro boner for it, but it looks like some good action, great effects and a solid tribute to the characters we learned that “knowing is half the battle” from.
I am eager to see it just to make sure. It looks like it holds about as much seriousness as the Xmen films (Which is ‘just enough’) and could be a fun little action film.
I am not impressed with the booster suits as I don’t think they “fit” with what the cartoon was about. But they are pretty cool (Id rather see them in a movie that isnt GIJoe)
Here we go again,
“Good action, great effects and a solid tribute to the characters”
Good action? I havent seen anything good ..yet. So in your eyes a few flips and jumps with a few seconds of gunfire followed by explosions is good action?
Great Effects? Every CG shot looks like it was made in 1995 instead of 2009.
Soild Tribute to the Characters? Duke was not some young Jarhead solider last time i checked.
Destro was not a scottish businessman and Cobra Commander was not a ninja from Mortal Kombat. So where is the solid tribute? Ohhh you mean Snake Eyes? Yes I agree on that for now.
Rodney, would an x-men film ever use Marlon Wayans as a comic-relief character who’s supposed to be one of the world’s top soldiers? X-Men had Hugh Jackman, Ian McKellan, Halle Berry, and Patrick Stewart.
I really don’t think you can put the two on the same level.
Ok, ok so now we have G.I. Joe’s in robo cop like power suits, Destro is a skinny weak crome-domeless bussiness terroiest, Cobra Commander is a member of the Mortal Kombat ninja family, accent less Baroness, no Major Blood and lots of poor CG. I think the studio should be paying ppl to watch this.
Not Cobra Commander unfortunately. That is “The Doctor” according to multiple GI Joe websites as well as the toy design for both that character and Cobra Commander.
I don’t see why you hate this movie.
Probably because you’re just predjudice about that waylon brother guy or whatever other reason…
every trailer I’ve seen looks amazing. Great action.
You’re just picking on dumb stuff, just like in transformers II where you were complaining about those 2 robots like they were the center of the movie.
Transformers isn’t about story or dialog or whatever, it’s about giant robots beating the crap out of eachother.
This movie is probably the same. you can compare it best to Die hard movies.
We’re movie geeks/Buffs/nerds. It’s what we do.
Oh, please. Action IS story. Action IS plot. At least, when it’s done right. They go hand-in-hand. Die Hard implemented this superbly, when each of McClanes battles against each member of the foreign terrorist group were like a story in themselves, the outcome of which presented an entirely new twist, changing the game completely. So don’t compare Die Hard(especially the first one) to Transformers 2. Both are successful franchises, but Transformers 2 is for an entirely different reason.
Besides, it’s not like somewhere in the development process of the script someone told the writer, “Here’s the deal: we need the storyline to be as lame as possible. We need really lame subplots and limp characters. Can we do that? Why? Well, because this is an action movie, silly! So get to work.” Give me a break. They tried, and they failed. Get over it.
Also, a good plot is unique and interesting enough that it engages the viewer emotionally. So, you may have really liked all the pretty, shiny visuals , but I can guarantee you would have enjoyed the movie a good deal more if it had a competent plot.
ya well this isnt die hard and the story is nothung close to it….this movie has no bruce willis let alone a super awesome villian like hans gruber…instead it has a completely retarded story line with and stupid iron man suites that where never in any of the original story boards….the cgi looks completely like shit and all the characters look nothing…i repeat nothing like the cartoon…sure snakes eyes n stormshadow kinda look like they did except for its just to fucking simple to make the ninja look cool…to bad duke and flint are all fucking retarded looking….GI JOE SHOULD NEVER USE SPECIAL IRONMAN LIKE SUITES.
I’m pretty much of the same mind, but I’m not going to cast judgment until I actually see it or read some detailed and convincing reviews from people who have.
Does any one else fine the bad chick in black leather sexy or what? and does anyone else think the suites that make them faster kinda of lame I hate that kinda sci fi element thrown into the film.
Yeah…it makes them kind of cheap. At least Iron Man built his armor.
They better. Gemma’s shiny rear is all over the final poster.
I mean Sierra Miller
I can totally see this guy giving Raul Julia’s Bison a run for his money. Bring on the cheese!
I always thought the Shredder was japanese
well said mike im thinking the same thing and it does look to be a sweet movie i bet they surprise us with destro and cobra commander in here at least i hope so
bottom line this will be worth seeing just for the snake eyes vs storm shadow fight alone
It makes me sad to say but I have no desire to see this movie at all. I grew up on the TV show and the toys and they have fallen so far away from both of those things, that I can barely stomach the idea of this movie. Snake Eyes does look badass though.
I am going to see it as just a fun popcorn movie..from the trailer it looks great to me…I think some fans whant it to be the 2nd coming..well Its not!!! Its just a fun movie to watch with your children, nothing more, nothing less!!
At least it has The Ninth Doctor
I can’t imagine it being worse than Transformers 2 for me. I think it’s going to be lame and rip off so many other films but I don’t think it’ll be a complete car wreck.
It is going to bomb though; no doubt about that.
Oh yeah, I remember when I saw the trailer (for the 3445 time) when I saw TF2, nobody reacted to it, you normally hear faint whispers of “That looks good” or “Wanna see that?” but after this played? NOTHIN. Not even from the kids. It was dead silent. I think 7 M opening weekend, MAYBE 14 but for this that’s pushing it
THIS MOVIE IS GONNA SUCK!!!…again hollywood is making a “comic book” into a movie and the characters look NOTHING like they do in the books…and as for cobra commander WTF is this, “find a george lucas Star Wars character” in G.I. Joe if so I just found a “darth Vader” wannabe!…put this movie straight to DVD.
its based of the cartoon
I think the only thing that can save this movie are cameo appearences by Wrestling legend Sgt. Slaughter and former Chicago Bear William “The Refrigerator” Perry, the only two real humans to become G.I. Joes.
It cant be as bad as dragonball or street fighter.
Looks more like he belongs in the Star Wars universe. Darth Cobra.
It doesn’t look great, and it doesn’t remind me at all of G.I. Joe. But, i bet it will still be better than Transformers 2.
You deserve a cookie. This looks like a fun movie. TF2 was the worst movie I’ve seen this year.
I don’t have the faintest idea what all the bitching is about. I think that image capture is just fine. I wouldn’t have thought of it myself, given the man just passed on a few weeks ago, but hey, I’m good with it. Joseph Gordon Lovitt looks great as a late 1990s Michael Jackson in the upcoming biopic…
I know. I know. I’m a bad dude.
Anyway….
That’s nothing.
Put up the new theatrical final poster for this yarn. I dare you. I double triple quadruple dare you Llok, I think she’s hot, okay, but c’mon. I know the film is in trouble when all you see in the one sheet is hot rubber a$$.
Eat your heart out Matrix! Someone is aiming to dethrone your S&M action figure fetish!!
Horrors await!!!!
wtf are u talkin about?
The image capture reminded me of Jackson when we wore his breath mask; the new theatrical GI Joe poster has Cobra and Joe people in small areas top and bottom, all in rubber and armor. With one exception: Gemma as The Baroness. She’s hogging up the one sheet, a light shining down on her bottom.
Nothing wrong with that for horny toad men of all ages, but still, there is A$$ all over the poster.
I mean Sierra Miller as Baroness
It’s not Cobra Commander……………yet. He is just the Doctor standing next to well the who we fondly know as the Doctor hahahaha.
hey i realized now, no matter what, hollywood will never make a movie adaptation that will satisfy me or other 80s babies. i will watch this and try to enjoy it for what it was. it cant be as bad as transformers or dragon ball evolution.
Sure it can, ever heard of a film called Street Fighter The Legend of Chun-Li? It was so bad it made the last Street Fighter film look good and it was terrible.
Watchable? I think it looks awesome.
Especially the part where SnakeEyes summersaults on top of a car.
It will be the suckiest suck that ever did suck.
Oh I (Sadly) think it’ll suck. when your trailer sucks, your film most likely does
I seen a test screening of the film back in April. It’s (fairly) watchable as a summer popcorn flick, watch for Brendan Frasier’s 10 second cameo. The pic of Cobra Commander is from the first scene he appears in.
This movie is definatley going to be good. I really want to keep my hopes up! I used to play with GI JOE’s so yea, big fan. They got alright actors aswell, i’m sure it will be entertaining!
Meh, looks kinda fun. But more like ‘ooh pretty colours’ kinda fun.
