Elsewhere, collider.com is reporting on a new trailer for G.I.Joe Retaliation.
G.I. JOE: RETALIATION Trailer Can you believe the excitement for this film? The internet film community is over the moon about it. They’re almost as over the moon as people were when the trailer for this other film hit a while back: Remember how great that turned out? Seriously, I can honesty say that” G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra” was filled with some of the most relentless, unfocused, exaggerated, bloated, incomprehensible, cgi cartoon action I’ve ever seen in a film. It could almost be regarded as avant garde if it wasn’t for the fact that you knew the results were due to Stephen Sommers deficiencies as a director, not to mention some poor writing. However, in Hollywood, you don’t argue with film grosses. Paramount pictures certainly didn’t, and despite the negative reaction to the first film, here we are with a second. Along with the second movie and its subsequent trailer, you have a case of amnesia that has swept the film blog-o-sphere. They’ve forgotten that it was only three years ago when we were lured to theaters with a big flashy trailer and got a big flashy mess. Now it seems that once again we have a case of hook line and sinker. Be smart about your excitement. The trailer was great but, if this film is any good at all it wont be because the whole thing is a two minute music video for seven nation army with killer bass and cool cut scenes. It will be because director Jon M. Chu, who has some good visual chops, and writers Rhett Resse and Paul Wernick were able to take a military toy franchise and craft a good motion picture out of it. Time will tell. From a wordpress blog |

Really don't remember fandom being abuzz for ROC; I was pretty sure it was going to suck based on the trailer... Super Speed suits? Bad CGI? Destro's hideout is the Gungan city? ugghh.... Retaliation looks much better. there's more ARAH in the trailer then in the entire movie of ROC. But as you say, time will tell...

But yeah, I don't recall too much of the blogosphere being particularly excited about Rise of Cobra before or after the film hit. I can think of one "film geek" website that gave it a good review, but it's a website that especially at the time was known for being contrarian. I'm sure Ain't It Cool News was over the moon about it, but they're like that over virtually every single genre film and "geek" property that comes out, so I don't even tend to count them.

There wasn't that much excitement for RoC at all. No where near what there is for Retaliation.

I agree. I remember a few people on the tank arguing with people over and over just for them to give the movie a chance before writing it off based on the trailer. The only reason anyone was excited is because we were getting a joe movie and it had snake eyes in it. I really don't remember anyone outside of a loner or two that was excited about what they saw in the trailer and where the movie was going. But I guess if you have a wordpress blog you can make up whatever you want and put it down as fact.

It boils down to your opinion and taste, i loved the trailer for ROC and i loved the movie too. TF2 & TF3 trailers looked good and got me into the cinema, but those movies sucked balls hard.
