• Gawd I hope there’s a story there. Because we’ve all seen Transformers already.

• Looks pretty lame to me. Kinda like a wannabe Transformers.

• Looks pretty lame. Kinda like a wannabe transformers. And I’m not a fan of transformers. Only chance is to target 17 and unders.

• Worst CGI I’ve ever seen. Did they do that in grandma’s basement? How do you spell GI Joe? B-O-M-B.

• I’m not seeing a GI joe movie that doesn’t have the guts to throw a “kung-fu grip” joke in the trailer.

  Ridiculous property + NO sense of humor about itself = trouble.

• It looks like they’re trying to get the Iron Man crowd. I’d be interested to hear what the reaction is in the theaters. It can’t be good.

• I think two producers got together and said…the hell with the story, let’s see how many special effects we can cram in this movie.

• Guess all of you brain surgeons can pronounce full and final judgment on a full length feature film based on a two minute trailer. Let’s all make the most obvious comment possible to show off our deep thought process ( comparison to Transformers) May the world be so kind to you when you are judged.

• Its a rust missile…A RUST MISSILE! And he’s going to hold the world hostage with it! ‘Cause he’s a bad guy.

  There aren’t enough mouth-breathing red-state suckers to make this abortion a hit. Christopher Eccleston is too good of an actor to have to be doing this type of dreck.

• Looks like it could be fun.

• I think that it looks pretty cool. Though keep in mind that this was spawned by a toy/cartoon with soldiers dressed like the Village People screaming “Yo Joe !”, along with a PSA in the end, with the line “And knowing is half the battle”. So let’s please not expect more of this than just a junk food film, a high end B movie. Just turn your brain off and enjoy !

• Good enough for mindless escape, but please can’t we get our movie going rocks off on more than just comic book flicks anymore? Actually, this is a movie based on a doll (oops, I mean, action figure).

• @DGA member:

  But I like having my brain turned on. When people turn their brains off, stupid, terrible things happen, like this movie. The fact that no one noticed the very big difference between this concept and “Transformers” (and the reason why Transformers did so well and this won’t) underscores this problem. Everyone likes Robots. No one likes jingoism.

• That looks like the single worst movie ever made. Or, more accurately a mashup of the 100 worst movies ever made. The fact that they put the name GI Joe on it is a disgrace.

• Somebody might want to tell the producers of this film that if you are going to make a G.I. Joe movie, you might want to actually include G.I. Joe in the movie.

  Seems you already have turned off your brain with that stupid statement.

• Channing Tatum should be a star, instead he’s being put in vehicles that make him nothing more than Jason Statham Jr.

  He’s capable of so much more.

• That was a terrific trailer! Looks like a lot of fun to me. Not sure what’s up with the negative comments. I grow so weary of the whole “competition” of which films we are supposed to rally behind (STAR TREK, which I want to see of course) and the ones we are supposed to hate, (WOLVERINE, it was totally fun). Relax people.

  “Mouth-breathing red-state suckers?” The film is an “abortion?” I fail to see what this trailer has done to offend you so much where other blockbuster style trailers have succeeded.

  My guess is if this same exact trailer had fanboy approved names like JAMES CAMERON or J.J. ABRAMs instead of STEPHEN SOMMERS attached to it, you would be standing up in your chair cheering the exact same visuals.

• The turnout for this will be enormous, at least for the opening weekend, because the nostalgia factor will lure in every guy who grew up in the 80′s when this was the one action figure line we all played with. If it had a better director attached than Stephen Sommers the sky could’ve been the limit box office-wise. Michael Bay is somebody the internet losers love to bash but his ability to put butts into seats is redoubtable and he did just that with a different toy-based movie on a scale very few anticipated. I’m holding out hope that G.I. Joe will be the preeminent guilty-pleasure movie of the season.
