G.I. Joe: Retaliation

[SpeedBash]

The first trailer has been released for G.I. Joe: Retaliation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSX2oxLdcWA

I finally got around to watching the first movie when it was on TV a few weeks ago and it wasn't bad - mindless fun - so if this follows the same formula it'll be worth a watch.

UK release date is 22 June 2012.

The G.I. Joe team faces off against Zartan, his accomplices, and the world leaders he has under his influence.

Sienne Miller already said she wasnt going to be in it - due to laughable acting skills (or there abouts)

Shame really as she looked rather hot as the Baroness

Yep, loved the first one in a brain out, b*lls to the wall action kind of way. This one looks even better with The Rock and a cameo from old Bruce Willis.

Awesome!

I took my son to see this and it turned out to be one of those rare films that was much better than expected (Like Transformers, but unlike Transformers 2 and X-Men whatever : Wolverine).

Given my Transformer's experience I'm a bit lairy about this, but I'll give it a go.

The new MI film, however, looks great!

Looking forward to this, love the fact the Rock is in it.

The Rock is in it? As whom?

Never saw the original. I collected the Action Force comics when I was younger (and still had them till they were nicked), the British mags were the best, but the US version had some good stories with the COBRA island and Serpentor.

Brilliant, he is a huge black guy who carried a 50. calibre and used it as a handheld weapon.
Michael Clarke Duncan would probably have been more accurate but I like the Rock.

If there was a "Best Actor - Former Wrestler" Oscar, he'd win it.

Really looking forward to movies this year, with this, Avengers, Dark Knight Rises etc.

Gonna be good.

I loved the first film, when everyone else seemingly panned it. It didn’t take itself at all seriously, and I see it as a big budget fun and (almost) slapstick bit of sci-fi hokum – and enjoyed it for what it is – the excellent special effects was a bonus. I enjoyed it a lot more than the ‘rinse and repeat scenarios’ of the Marvel films (and why the hell is Spiderman getting another reboot - Hollywood, you are a joke!), of which the only one I enjoyed was Iron Man – which again didn’t seem to take itself too seriously.

Used to love Action Force comic. A Baron Ironblood versus Z Force movie? Splendid!!

I think it's because Columbia doesn't wish to lose the rights to Marvel.

I remember BAF. I wanted the Roboskull as a toy. I did have the SAS figures. and some space ones. In one continuity Baron Ironblood became COBRA Commander.

Its amazing to think how many story arcs/crossovers I could keep in my head when I was 12. I have trouble remembering my own name now.

apologies for duplicate thread - shows how well the P/H search facility is working as usual!

and i love the Rock. great character actor....should make it really good fun

[Nightmare]

oh and im starting to wonder if Ray Parks will end up with some sort of movie record of 'been in the most films without ever being allowed to actually show his face'

Same here. I have an almost infinite capacity for the history of universes within comics and telly.

Probably quite handy in the world of comics as they seem to have an infinite number of alternate timelines\history. People moan about too many reboots in Hollywood these days. If people read the comics a lot of these franchises are based on they'd realise it's par for the course, you seem to get one about once a week!
