Some of you have probably already seen the trailers for the upcoming G.I. Joe movie.

If you haven't, take a moment to check out the latest one:

Small | Large



I put this poll in the Bad Movies section because I think it looks like another Hollywood crapfest.
It looks overdirected, overproduced, overhyped, too slick, and just plain bad.
With the exception of Dennis Quaid and Snake Eyes, the entire cast looks like something straight out of "The Hills" or any other interchangable MTV reality show.

It feels like another example of Hollywood throwing money into a project without sticking to a good solid story.  Another ridiculous "popcorn movie" in the same style as Michael Bay.

Seriously, nothing about this film feels like the G.I. Joe I knew and loved as a kid.

What do you guys think?

I kinda sensed bad things when the logo for it lacked the American flag, and I'm not even a G.I. Joe fan.

I'm gonna steer clear of it, just because it's a summer movie and I got enough of that from Transformers 2, doesn't look too interesting anyway.

As a fan of the Larry Hama comics, so far this is hurting my feelings more so than Transformers ever could. It just looks way too slick, and contrived the black suits especially. GI Joe to me was all about the variety of characters, each one had a specialty that made them work together great as a team. To make them appear all as Snake Eyes without the mask is just wrong headed.

On the positive side there are a few good casting calls here, Dennis Quad as General Hawk, Ray Park as Snake Eyes, and Arnold Vosloo as Zartan, but I am afraid whatever good they might add will be overshadowed by a dead-above-the-neck story, and lame direction. I don't know if I can bring myself to see this one.

For me, the only way for this to come close to working is if they broke out all the signature uniforms and went total cheese with it.  A movie about special government ops seems way too generic to me.

THIS is GI Joe-

I was a little to old to watch the cartoon or read the comic book-so the movie means zip to me.

Amen! G.I. Joe died when they shrunk him into an "action figure" and stopped making the 12"-tall version. G.I. Joe is a soldier, a grunt, not a futuristic commando dude.

I'm all over this movie like Keira Knightley's throat on a finger after dinner!!! You all might pooh-pooh this film, but deep down you know it's gonna be good... (*snicker*)

...heck, it can't be worse that Transformers 2, right?

(I'll make sure to report in once I see it)

From the commercials the actors look sort of annoyingly obnoxious.  I dunno, I'll probably read a review or two after it comes out - probably be good for a laugh.

I think it looks good. Will it be a masterpiece of cinema? not likely. Im going this weekend to see it at the drive in.. double feature, G.I. Joe and Transformers.  TeddyR  I have seen transformers already but will stay and watch it again( I have a 7 yr old that loves it) I just hope by the time both are over I have enough brain cells left to find my way home.

Saw it.  Enjoyed it.  Felt too long though, kind of dragged a bit.  Solid, entertaining film.
