Hmmmm...I like that Bruce Willis is in this...other than that I thought the trailer was meh...after the dissapointment of the first film I doubt many can blame me but I'm not getting my hopes up high. Who knows, this may turn out to actually be a good movie...or more bad acting with explosions and CGI.

Just can't get over the feeling this is the sequel no one really asked for. Heck, they only got the July 1st slot because Paramount couldn't get the next Star Trek in production in time.On the plus side, this has a more realistic look to it than the cartoony, comic booky look of the previous one.
I want this sequel, the first movie rocked and this one looks good so far.
They have changed Snake Eyes look. No lips. (which didn't bother me in the first one) but this looks better. This one has a more realistic look? i thought as you said it looked cartoony and comic booky, which isn't a bad thing. the ninjas fighting on the ropes in the mountains, yeah that's realistic. but you know what i don't care! cause you are suppose to feel like a kid in the sand box when you watch these films. as long as the story is good and the action keeps coming and the movie is paced well, then it should be good. Unlike Transformers 3 and 2.

I wish they'd kept more of the characters from the first one, tbh.
I think they know there are so many characters that they all can't be in the film and they want to touch on other characters. this is fine as long as the main ones that I remember are in the films i will be happy. like snake eyes, stormshadow, duke, zartan, cobra commader and destro.

Heavy use of CG in the first one - the underwater base, the destruction of the Eiffel Tower, the accelerator suits etc. - versus what looks like more practical stunts in the second one. I remember being with someone in the theatre when the trailer for the first one followed the trailer for Transformers 2; they remarked "that trailer looks just like the last trailer we watched."

They still used paractical effects in the first one. Do you expect them to actually make a underwater base and accelerator suits and destroy the actual eiffel tower? The only thing that will probably not be in this one is the accelerator suits. but i can say this for sure there will be CG elements as well, and just from the trailer even something like showing the cobra flags on the white house will be CG and the mountain side battle will have CG elements in it.

Wierd! Haha, I feel the same way, but the opposite on those movies. TF 1 and 3 was great, and the first GI Joe, while I still enjoyed it and bought it, just wasn't what I had in mind for a Joe movie. I'm looking forward to this movie, but the first one was just not to my liking. As an action movie, it was good, as a Joe movie, it was meh. Unlike Transformers, I think a really good, serious film similar to Black Hawk Down or Hurt Locker can be achieved with Joe characters.

Transformers 1 was great, 3 was terrible IMO story was crap and not consistent, way too long and just pointless sequences with flight suits and buildings collapsing.
I don't think you could put GI Joe into a completely serious film, it still has to be for kids too, and some things have to be over the top like snake eyes and storm shadow. basically it has to be like the old bond movies with cobra / specter trying to take over the world.
but to each his own.

Yeah, the ninjas make it abit over the top, though after seeing how ninjas were done in Batman Begins, it wouldn't be too far of a stretch.
