DISQUS

Film School Rejects: Full G.I. Joe Superbowl Spot Obviously Not Made by 8-Year Olds

    I must have watched Snake Eyes run and jump off that tossed car thirteen times. It looks like Wanted, but in place of curving bullets, they're throwing themselves through buses and shit. Maybe it won't be so bad.

    Really? The last shot in that trailer looks...like the best CGI of 1999.

    No, thanks. This thing looks about as generic as possible, and it's just a hunch that the premise and dialog are going to be way too cartoonish.

    Yeah I didn't realize this was a computer animated film.

    ZING MOTHER F

    probably they arent finishing putting the final touches on the film. probably the CGi is still being worked on.

    this doesn't look bad. it's probably going to have the same substance as the mummy. (lame joke..ect)

    I've watched this a few times. I want GI Joe to be good because I love GI Joe. What I don't get is why "The Happening" happens to the Eiffel Tower. I don't like those guys in the suits that do super back flips and crash through buses. Recalling Comic Con, those are some sort of special suits that amplify humans that allow them to run as fast as cars and stuff - that has nothing to do with GI Joe. That's my problem. There is very little GI Joe in this GI Joe movie.

    What works? James McCullen seems alright. Dennis Quaid seems good. Snake-Eyes looks great. Baroness and Scarlett look good. I'm just going to be a tough sell. Paramount should probably invite me to dinner and show me some more footage to win me over.

    So this means that we will have to wait till the reviewers here get their greasy mitts on a preview copy to let us know whether or not to drop our cash on this.

    So Robert, what are the odds that the studio doesn't apply pre screening of this movie?
  • RobertFure · 9 months ago
    Tough to say. Summer movies with huge budgets are hard not to pre-screen - huge red flag. What they might do, though, is invite only certain outlets that have a history of being very "forgiving" of films. IE, "Quote whores," people that will declare it an "edge of your seat action thriller" just because they want their name on a commercial. We'll have to wait and see.

    Screw that, we need to get one of the FSR crew in there so an unbiased view makes it to the masses before release date.

    Hmm, Ok someone on the Forum has to have a contact with one of the toadies who are going to be invited to the prescreening if there happens to be one. First we track them done then we inundate them with requests to get one of our operatives in. Some that can blend without giving off those weird vibes.... that leaves out Kevin Carr....lol.

    Sounds like a plan for the Global Integrated Joint Ops Entity! Apparently that is what GI Joe means now. Though perhaps I am being a bit harsh. The releasing studio is Paramount and they're actually really wonderful people to work with, so fingers crossed we get a look at this bad boy. And fingers crossed on the other hand it's a boatload of fun. =/
  • Aleric · 9 months ago
    Heh, I say when it gets close to release date we have everyone inundate Paramount with e-mail requests to have FSR be one of the first to screen it.

    Snake-Eyes is the only thing that looks decent. This is the bomb, in a bad way.
  • _Christopher_M · 9 months ago
    I'm sure they weren't throwing money around...but this could be a rough trailer...the same way we saw with Incredible Hulk's teaser vs trailer...the effects could be beefed up I agree...it's months away so things can change

    Did I miss something? This still looks like sh*t to me. Sorry
  • Marcus O'Cleary · 9 months ago
    I knew this was going to happen. All those corny photos that were released are now seen cutting backflips and blowing up stuff and suddenly "it doesn't look too bad." Here's how this movie is going to go down: Everyone is going to see it, there will be a honeymoon brief honeymoon and then some will come back to their senses. This movie already sucks the same way that Wolverine already sucks. X-Men with no Sentinels = fail. Wolverine with X-Men movie residue = fail. G.I. Joe mixed with X-Men and Batman minus the G.I. Joe = fail. This movie has failed out of the gate. Don't fool yourselves.

    that cliche group shot of the Joes walking shoulder-to-shoulder is weeeeeaaaaak. they all look like they raided Michael Keaton's Batman costume closet and took some chest armor from there. just a bunch of rubberized s&m junkies. laughable. but the Baroness scores some points for the nice cleavage shot in the beginning. it almost makes up for it.

    It's G.I Joe people! Not Shakespeare. It's supposed to be cartoonish & over the top. But why is there a mouth on Snake-Eyes' mask in the picture above?
