"On my orders, the G.I. Joe's were terminated with extreme prejudice." It's only Monday, and this week is shaping up to be a big one for getting audiences pumped for 2012. The first trailer for Men in Black 3 hit this morning and now yet another sequel gets its first trailer with the unveiling of G.I. Joe: Retaliation, the sequel that brings back only a few cast members like Channing Tatum from the original 2009 blockbuster and introduces new cast members like Dwayne Johnson, Bruce Willis, Ray Stevenson and Adrianne Palicki. If you're looking for more ridiculous action, this seems to be the film to see. Watch!
Here's the first trailer for Jon M. Chu's sequel G.I. Joe: Retaliation originally from Machinima:
G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation is being directed by Jon M. Chu (Step Up 2 & 3D, "The LXD", Justin Bieber: Never Say Never) from a script by Zombieland writers Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick. Channing Tatum returns as Duke, along with Ray Park as Snake Eyes and Lee Byung-hun as Storm Shadow. Other newcomers to the cast include Bruce Willis as General Joseph B. Colton, Adrianne Palicki as Lady Jaye, Ray Stevenson as Firefly, Joseph Mazzello as Mouse, Arnold Vosloo as Zartan, D.J. Cotrona as Flint, and RZA as the Blind Master. Paramount is planning to release G.I. Joe: Retaliation starting on June 29th, 2012 next summer.

Looks like it will be a good dumb, just watch and enjoy the action kind of movie.The first part of the trailer reminded me of the beginning attack in transformers 1.

This looks better then I thought it would. Should be a fun yet dumb summer movie. And there is nothing wrong with that

"You ok?" "I'm ok. You" "My cholesterol's a little high..." Nice scene! Love me some Bruce!

Just a damn shame Sgt. Slaughter isn't young enough to do this anymore. Damned shame.

I just realized something..... They're making a GI Joe movie W/O Cobra Commander!!!!! Blasphemy
Nicholas Robinson on Dec 12, 2011

I was thinking the same thing??!! As it was going allow, i thought they'd take "The Avengers" approach with the hulk, and not show Cobra/Destro till the end of the trailer, but I guess not. I like the new cast, but I feel Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Rachel Nichols, and Marlon Wayans (sorry bout the copy and paste) did a well enough job to return. However, I just fucking hope that that's Ray Park returning as Snake Eyes!!!!

What are you talking about, it showed Cobra Commander, and for a few good seconds at that...he looks waaaaay better than the last movie.
Nope on Dec 12, 2011

I double checked IMDb and Cobra Commander is NOT in the movie whether played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt or anyone else

Is Channing Tatum's character one of the GI Joes who died in the beginning? If so it's worth a watch.

You know when you're standing near the edge of a pool, and out of nowhere your Dad pushes you head first into it?.... THAT's how much I'm in this! Looks very promising indeedy...

Cobra Commander is shown at the 1:00-104 mark in the trailer.

Is it possible to have even less Tatum in this? If so, sign me up.

Shouldnt that be Next Summer, not This Summer ?

Either works.

I REALLY REALLY hope Snake Eyes gets more screen time. He was very underutilized in the first one. I'm glad they got rid of Marlon Wayans. I found him to be quite obnoxious in the first one. Overall I like the trailer. It looks like an entertaining summer flick.
Chris Amaya on Dec 12, 2011

not a big GI joe fan but looks a lot of fun. the first movie was an OK fun dumb cartoon.......(ish). is Bruce Willis supposed to be John Mclane here? what`s going on?

I was nervous when I first saw the trailer but wow...I am there.

They're keeping Cobra Commander a secret. He's in it. You can't go by IMDB - they don't have ALL the info just yet.

good that they took off that dumb lips on the mask of snake eyes he looks better this way, plus isn't Duke like one of the main characters of the whole G.I Joe series??? y kill him off if they did?

Duke wasn't part of the original GI Joe team. It's been an ever changing team so it shouldn't really matter.
TK on Dec 12, 2011
49
yeah, I agree w/ TK, duke was to supposed to die in the animated movie ala' optimus, but due to the fan reaction to optimus, they announced over the radio in the end that duke was gonna be fine. I personally didn't care too much for the joes portrayed as a large team of international soldiers. I've always liked the tighter nit group. A revolving handful is fine with me as long as they kick ass! 😉

Just a thought I don't think Duke is dead..Just go back to GI Joe the animated movie...I am guessing Duke is in a coma.

Oh look, they've got a British dude playing the US prez. Cool. Oh wait, no, he's "EVIL", that explains it. 😉

I am so on this movie's nuts right now. I'm actually gonna have to sit through the first one again to understand this new one.

The first movie sucked but it did feature some crazy CG action sequences, like the Paris scene. Was kinda hoping for more of that to be carried over. Thank god they got rid of Marlon Wayan's character! Less Tatum and more Bruce Willis and 'The Rock' works for me!
MithunOnThe.Net on Dec 12, 2011
56
Hard to tell... The first had its problems but his looks cheaper, less dynamic and less fun than the first one? But The Rock is always welcome to the party.

I want to like this but after the last one I don't think I can... only thing that could at all redeem it is if Baroness turns out to be fooling Duke and is still aligned with Cobra. Zartan looked great, couldn't even see him, true master of disguise.
Kevin M Scanlan on Dec 13, 2011

I thought the first would sucked... and I liked. Now we have Bruce F****** Willis, The Rock and Jonnatan Price. I'm totally in.

Umm.. the plot looks EXACTLY like Mission impossible protocol.

I never even considered going to see the first one. This is quite the turn around, definitely be keepin an eye out for more news. Good job Chu

I fuckin' love G.I. Joe and even liked the first movie, but this one looks tons better. This will be my most-anticipated movie of next year, hands down...

Ditto, (minus TDR...) This will be my 2nd Most anticipated flick of the summer 😉

OK, the first one was horrible. This one...This one looks better.

I like this Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol trailer less than the other ones. I forgot about Bruce Willis being in this. His last movie went straight to dvd. Now this?

This looks pretty good! And that last scene of Snake Eyes sword fighting on the side of that moutain with those Cobra ninjas was insane!!Count me in!!

This is gonna be Filthy.... kinda bummed to see the first cast completely written off like that, but it that feeling lasted for like 5 seconds.
Anonymous on Dec 13, 2011

This actually looks like it's going to be better than the first one (and that isn't hard to pull off). I'm definitely seeing it for the Rock and Willis.
Lauren Intong on Dec 13, 2011

Ah I was hoping to see RZA in this trailer.

Finally, snake eyes looks like a badass! I hated his outfit & mask w/ lips in the first film.
Deeznutz on Dec 13, 2011

I'm shocked at how much better this looks than the first. Although the first was one of the worst films I've ever seen. So its not saying much.
Zak2828 on Dec 13, 2011

CC is in it showed him in the trailer, also about Duke. I have a feeling he may be in that body sized bag hanging from the cliff w/ Snake Eyes at 2:08 mark in the trailer. Him being in a coma or something of the sort seems likely. Hopefully he does not wake up till the next animated movie.
Derrick Shanks on Dec 13, 2011

Based on the first one, I was sure this would suck... But this looks pretty f'n a. I'm in.

I wasnt a fan of the first one........but this one looks >>>BADASS<<<
stfugtfo on Dec 13, 2011

so Storm Shadow never died in the first one, cause I remember him getting stabbed twice in the chest then falling into ice water. From the trailer it looks like they kill Duke who is a major character in the GI Joes
andrew on Dec 14, 2011

I liked the first one because of the old school James Bond esque plot (that someone obviously put a LITTLE work into) and the action scenes. Hopefully they show some semblance of a story in this one. Waiting happily with low expectations.

I'm not a fan of the first movie but I will admit that this trailer was fun to watch. It made the film look somewhat interesting.

I loved the first one for what it was, great action movie with even match ups between the good guys and bad guys!! 2 secret angencies one good one bad! 2 hot chicks fighting eachother, 2 bad ass ninjas fighting eachother!! It was a great action flick! I like the addition to the cast in this trailer but what happened to Duke?? Its Marlon Wayans character that should be gone and im glad he is but i dont understand why they dissapeared the main character from the last movie?? I repeat... where is Duke??

How to make a good sequel to a horrible movie: Kill off all the sucky actors and then proceed with the second movie. Haha. Just think of the satisfaction it would have given you if they killed Jar Jar Binks off in the first 5 minutes of Star Wars 2.
