GI Joe: Retaliation trailer

After he kills someone with a katana.

If you wanna know what Gi Joe is all about, read the comics, Marvel's original run, or the more recent ones by Image\Devils Due, or even the more recent ones by IDW.

this movie, is NOT Gi Joe. "Rise of Cobra" Was an abomination of Gi Joe, and even worse, it was just a bad freaking movie with horrible acting, questionable SFX, bad writing and a bad story.

Now this movie, seems like they pulled some of the crap actors from the last movie, and their characters. A shame since Scarlett isn't listed on IMDB, and I always liked her character. The actress, Rachel Nichols, who played her though did a horrible job, though to be fair the character was horribly written.

No Ripcord or Breaker this time, fine by me, ancillary characters at best. Not sure when Roadblock got to be leader of the unit, but still better than Heavy Duty.

Bruce Willis is good, but I'm not sure he fits General Joe Colton.

I'm excited for the additions of Lady Jaye and Jinx to the Cast, I'm glad to see Cobra commander in his proper helmet, and the cast has some actual names in it now... But given the travesty that was the first movie, I just can't think this is going to be any good.

Channing Tatum is back as Duke... Horrible choice, but it makes the decision to have Johnson as "Roadblock" being the leader much more understandable.

Characters of Flint, Tunnel Rat, and Firefly added to the mix, all good stuff. But no General Hawk? And of course Storm Shadow is back ,what was the point of pretending to kill him though if he comes back the very next flick? Also no mention of Baroness or Destro in the IMDB either, which disappoints me, they are good characters if acted and written with any talent what so ever.


Honestly, this movie might have a few good things going for it, they pulled many of the bad actors from the last movie but seemed to pull the characters with them, so it's a wash. Also any sequel to the last story... I just can't see it being good..

So now time will tell, will I see it in movie with the vague hopes my faith in a Live action GI Joe Movie I waited since my child hood for might be fullfilled, or will i stand on principle and after seeing the insult they called the first movie and skip this one. Time will tell.


<----- Huge GI Joe nerd.

Cool. Just wanna make sure we're on the same page.

I'm expecting a after credits scene w/ those two. Maybe General Hawk will be saved for the third movie?

Storm Shadow is probably a clone. (don't remember the movie that faithfully...)

I don't know about saving him. General Hawk was already in the first movie, played by Dennis Quaid.

Well, I think he actually meant by that they will save his RETURN for the third movie. lol

They ALL float down here. When you're down here with us, you'll float too!

@Starflier

This.

Basically, if you don't see Larry Hama's name on it, skip it. Find something with his name on it.

While I agree, some of IDW's stuff is awesome, too. Notably, Snake Eyes: Declassified.

Fair enough - I haven't read any of the more recent comics so I can't comment on their quality.

As in the wrestler Sgt. Slaughter? Or the G.I. Joe character?

If the second, he was in the last movie too. That was the Brendan Fraser sequence with BF as the Sarge..

Since the character was based on the wrestler the answer to your question would be yes.

Okay I retract this.

A little more research on this shows him as Sgt. Stone, not Slaughter.

My bad.
