The first trailer had the pretty badly CG Snake-Eyes doing a backflip over the car. Personally, I was looking forward to seeing Ray Park as Snake-Eyes, not a bad looking computer effect. I'll admit though I am a bit biased on the real vs CG argument. 99% of hte time I can spot CG, and this time especially I think doing it real, or even mixed (real backflip compositied into the shot) would have looked better.
In fact, some of the film is quite good.
Neurie wrote:Erm well it could possibly do better opening than ROTF in the US as america does have it fixation with the military and liking to think its the worlds police, but when your talking number you have to remember the box office total will be for world wide numbers which is the one to bet. Studios are a bit too domestic centric.
Sadly I do not think that the take will be that great in non US teritories, GI Joes as a world wide brand is just not that big,. Large parts of Asia, the middle east hell even Europe havent had GI Joe toys since the early 90's let alone any thing else.
Im hard pressed to think of many comic shops that stock the nontransformer comics for the Joes.
Im also guessing it may get limited releaes in coutries such as Latvia, Lituania, Macedonia and certain other ex soviet block countries and it may not get released at all in other less than friendly to the US countries.
I personally will go see it as will my Russian girl friend (she loves trashy blow stuff up American pop corn flicks, she loved ROTF). Trying to get her to come to botcon next year.

tricky wrote:I was pretty excited about this till they cast Dennis Quaid as Duke. Still looks pretty good but at the same time my TF obsession and GiJoe obsession are completely separate and have nothing to do with each other at all.
No comparison between this and ROTF. That was awesome. Perfect addition to the non G1 first film. Did not expect more than that.

Actually, it is usually the reverse. Having established the protagonist(s) in the first film and secured the necessary financial success to warrant an increased budget, most sequels end up being better than the original.
Examples beyond Dark Knight and Spider-Man II? Empire Strikes Back. Star Trek II (Wrath of Khan). Superman II. X-Men II. Blade II. Batman Returns. It's the third film in a franchise that is usually problematic.
Sad that Transformers II: Electric Boogalo failed to live up to this rule. Given how bad this film was, Rise of Cobra would have to be full of suck not to be a better film. The bar is so, so low.

One for each year of the Movieverse's decade strong tenure. Here's to a few more explosive years!

You mentioned something important.
Since this is the first Joe movie,shouldtn people compare it with the 2007 movie?
vectorA3 wrote:Right on. I agree. I wanted TF to be more like this - a good balance of action and story. Especially loved the use of flashbacks. There wasn't too much, and it provided for great character development (something TF sorely lacked). Yes, the CG was rushed/subpar in some small parts, but that's really one of the only negatives I can think of.
I hope GI Joe 2 doesn't suck, b/c Sommers is not doing it. It's gonna be the guy who directed Justin Bieber's last movie. They only hired him b/c he can shoot 3D & they want to $ grub. All movies don't need to be in 3D for chrissake!!!! arrgggghhhhhh
