RETALIATION trailer = our EPISODE 1 trailer

In 1998 when the original teaser for STAR WARS: EPISODE 1 hit, there were widespread reports of people paying full price to whatever movie it was in front of and walking out afterwards and getting refunds. Got to the point where theaters started refusing any refunds to those movies.

Fast forward to 2011 and here comes the trailer for GI JOE: RETALIATION. With the hype and reported excitement from those who have already seen it, to me this is starting to feel like our Episode 1 Trailer moment (only without the option for a refund-scheme). We are getting excited over 2+ minutes of badassery because we (or at the very least I) have faith that this will be the film franchise's redemption, a la WRATH OF KHAN.

Am I wrong or am I wrong?

Hmmm... Interesting! I just hope history doesn't repeat itself a la Jar Jar Binks, too.

So long as Wayans is no where NEAR a piece of film, I think we're safe.

God I hope this movie is good! I have waited since 1983 for a good live-action G.I.Joe film. Will this be it?

Damn the first one sucked so bad.

In the car on the way home I was silent for a good ten minutes before I turned to my wife and told her that she would never have to worry about getting that movie for me in any shape or form. I am hoping #2 will be our "KHAN" compared to the dismal first entry.

Ahhhhhhh, no.

We waited what, 15 or 16 years for a new Star Wars film......ROC was only a couple of years ago.

Believe me, I'm excited for Joe 2.....but I seriously doubt that the trailer will run cold shivers up my spine like the Ep I trailer did.....but maybe it'll run Cold Slithers.......

Gimme a break! People went nuts over the Episode I trailer was because we had to wait a bajillion years & we never thought we would ever see a movie made about Episode I. We always knew there was going to be a second GI Joe movie.

There's no comparison.


And I'm pretty sure nobody gives a shit about GI Joe 2 other than the hardcore fans on sites like this. I'm not excited about it at all, I don't know enough about it to get excited.

I'm really excited for Retaliation, and I do believe it will be good, but in not forking over money to go see some movie just for a trailer. I'll just fork over money to go see Retaliation. Just over 6 months away!
