Well, I'm not sure what to make of it. XD There's a lot of Matrix-style stuff going on, but I can't shake off that "Corny B Movie" feeling. It was probably the 80's-style ninjas.

You know that does remind me of American Ninja as well. I doubt this movie will be worth checking out in the movie theatres but who knows, I might let myself get dragged along into the hype machine
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I am not sure about the former.

It doesn't look *that* bad :rolleyes:
Though it *does* remind me of the new Dragonball movie, in the sense that it seems to be more theatrics and explosions, rather than staying True to the original series.

I am sure it appeals to people who cant pay attention without "BIG EXSPOLSHUNS" and "KIXN A$S"
Okay... :rolleyes:
Whatever that means.
Anyways, I think I'll be seeing this on day one. I like Stephen Sommers' movies, The Mummy/The Mummy Returns was good, IMO.

Looks good to me, A nice fun action movie, I see nothing wrong with it. Of course, my standards aren't nearly as high when it comes to movies, so perhaps that's why this looks awesome to me.

I have to ask, what exactly do you recall from the original series. Because if memory serves me right, GI Joe was about a military outfit that was set up to fight the terrorist group bent on world domination called "Cobra". They had a lot of high-tech weapons, vehicles, and over the top action. Pretty much what the trailer depicted.
So what exactly was everyone hoping for with a GI Joe movie?

I never said that it didn't look good. Just that it reminds me more of those 'blow 'em up' kind of movies, that *are* fun to watch when you just want some high-explosive, high-octane action in your life ;3

Honestly I was trying to understand how you considered that trailer to be far removed from the scope of the Original series, because frankly there wasn't really much to GI Joe. I mean its not like it was Hamlet with M-16s.

The suits that seem to give them superpowers seems to be a bit of a departure. Well, maybe not from the later toy accessories where they had every sort of GI Joe specialized imaginable.
Anyway, the Doctor going bad? I think that's gonna be serious problems.

That's what I'm thinking. Generic 'blow 'em up' plot, but still entertaining if all you want is some good explosions
