GI Joe 2: Retaliation

[CelticPredator]

Guy looks like The Predator, and shoots arrows at people in the forest. Could make the best villain in this whole silly film series.

Michonne cosplaying as Jason Vorhees.

Everyone loves those characters. So why not?

They might as well mix the following franchises . . .

GI JOE Vs. PREDATOR Vs. ALIENS Vs. TERMINATOR Vs. TRANSFORMERS

GI JOE encounters the PREDATORs hunting ALIENS on earth while COBRA acquires TERMINATOR technology resulting in a new series of TERMINATORs derived from B.A.T.s. and the DECEPTICONS decide to join forces with COBRA, but secretly planning to control the TERMINATOR technology resulting in the AUTOBOTS joining the fray with GI JOE with multitude of ninja action where SNAKE EYES & STORM SHADOW duel with the ALIENS & the PREDATORs until they face off against a clan of TERMINATOR RED NINJAs.

reviews are coming in and people are happy with it.
I cant wait for thursday.

 

[Sithlord1975]

I still have no interest in this movie and don't care about GI JOE anymore, but yes early reviews seem good. So maybe they did actually make a fun decent action movie, that does a better job with a Hasbro toy franchise then in the past.

So good on them, if it turns out to be good watchable fun.

Got tickets for a screening tomorrow night. Hope this is better than the garbage that was RoC.

 

[hunnipot85]

I hope they acknowledge Baroness in this movie and she wasn't killed. I would love if she came back for the third if it ever gets there.

[Deeznutz6]

They should put this dude in the next sequel.

Rasta Viper?

 

[CelticPredator]

Yah mon. I actually forgot what his name was. Shadow something. I thought he was unique. Looks nice on the shelf. Came with a sweet bow too.

 

[KneelBeforrSmallville]

My friend got tix for tomorrow night but i cant make it, got work

But hopefully ill be seeing it thursday at the IMAX theatre, im actually hype for this movie, i liked Cobra and this looks even better!

I enjoy reading the Rocks tweets, he seems to be really invested in this movie.

 

[Lawrence]

Other than doing his duty of promoting the movie, I'm guessing he was pretty excited to be part of GI Joe. I saw an interview where 'The Rock' says something about him collecting GI Joe & Star Wars figures when he was younger. The way he'd get them was basically walk into the store, open the packs, take the figures, & walk out. Stealing them

Saw it today at a preview screening...
OK, here's my Pros and Cons list:

PROS:
- Great action
- Better acting than the first one
- Awesome scenes with Snake Eyes/Storm Shadow
- The Rock, rocks!
- The story overall was good
- Lots of nods for hardcore fans
- They leave it open for a sequel
- Cobra Commander is pretty awesome, but brief appearances

CONS:
- Movie feels a bit disjointed... good story but seems like 2 movies
- Major characters are

Spoiler

disposed so that seems a bit lame

- For some reason this time around the Joes

Spoiler

Feel like a small team, when in the first one it was this huge organization, no Pit, no USS Flagg...not a whole lot of tech from them actually

- No

Spoiler

Destro or Baroness or Hawke and no real Zartan

- It took itself a bit too seriously at times... say what you will about ROC but at list it was quite entertaining, this one seemed to drag a little too long.


Overall it's a better movie, but doesn't feel like RAH that much...
It's more like a commando/heist type of feel... don't know how to explain it.
I think the first one was a bit campy, but I feel it was more fun... wouldn't say either one is really a home-run, but I'm sure this one will be more enjoyable by Joe fans.

I'd say a 7/10

 

[Khev]

Does Channing Tatum really get killed early on? Feel free to put it in spoiler tags but that's all I really want to know.

Spoiler

Yes..., he's gone... all the rumors of him having more scenes were just that

 

[Kibagami]

Hoo boy.

 

[cerealkeller]

Does Channing Tatum really get killed early on? Feel free to put it in spoiler tags but that's all I really want to know.

Spoiler

Yes, after about 20 minutes he was killed and good for Channing Tatum

Saw this tonight. Give it a 5/10. And that's a step up from the first one. But it's bad. Just boring and pointless. This series better stop. Now.

I loved G.I. Joe as a kid, primarily the comics. Why nobody can make a good movie is beyond me.

Okay.

Spoiler

Not a fan of his anyway. Too pretty for me to be a Joe.

 

[CelticPredator]

Hahaha.

I'll catch this at a matinee at the drafthouse with a pitcher of beer.
