It’s still seems to be shot flatter than a pancake, but this G.I. JOE 2 trailer fills out the new characters a bit, expands on the decidedly silly plot, and starts tossing around money shots like candy. The story seems literally adapted from a 30 second, early-80s toy commercial, with the evil fake president blowing up all the Joes, and then old Joe gets involved, and then stuff. I keep expecting a wide shot of a kid crashing one of the tanks into a pyramid of translucent blocks. Still, The Rock is having fun, Bruce Willis is fun to watch not have fun, and Jonathan Pryce is barely containing a straight face as he delivers lines like “My fellow world leaders…”
The first film got one, very enjoyable theatrical viewing out of me, but if they capture that same tone of a kid’s playtoy story logic meets a little melodramatic grit, then this might be worth seeing once too.
Also, fuck a London.

Looks great! I’m more excited for this than Avengers. Which by the way, if you think GI Joe looks to be shot flatly, you must really hate the look of Avengers.
Wonder Woman actually looks good here. What the hell kind of crappy cameras were they using for the TV pilot?
I almost thought he was talking about the first film.
Renn Brown, Sure The Rock…Rolls, and Willis will be fine as the original G.I. Joe Joe Colton. But, I am far more excited for all the…Ninja, slashing, gashing, running and gunning as well! Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, Jinx etc. Ninja in…Black, White, Yellow, and Red! There is more Ninja than in…Ninja R Us! YO JOE!
Looks like a really fun time at the movies just like the first one. Plus it’s got Ray Stevenson. He always elevates everything he’s in.
if Ray Stevenson doesnt shoot a man in the face point blank with a shotgun while carrying a small child, Im not interested
I like the first one, I’m there for this one also.
The last one was horrid, even worse than Transformers 2.
