'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' Trailer 2

The new trailer continues to remind us we should forget about the first film.

It's hard to imagine being excited for G.I. Joe: Retaliation after the first movie. There were some good parts in the first one but overall it was disappointing to fans of the comics and cartoon. It was surprising to hear that a sequel was being planned because the first wasn't well received. Thankfully, what we've seen so far has been looking pretty good.

Paramount has released a second full trailer for the movie. Check it out.

G.I. Joe: Retaliation will be released on June 29, 2012 and is directed by Jon M. Chu. Who plans on going to see it?

This freeking cool it has Bruce Willis and The Rock (i know thats not his name anymore i just think of it :D ).

Apart from that i love the action and special effects. Oh and story line looks really cool (not like the the first film which was completely rubbish but the action was cool though)

This looks excellent, although I'm a little disappointed that it looks like Chatum will be killed. I know I'm in the minority, but I like him.

The funny thing is, this story TOTALLY parallels how the narrative is in Larry Hama's G. I. Joe: A Real American Hero currently. Gawd I love how CC looks in this. Exactly as he should have been in the first movie. Hopefully this learned from the mistakes of the first movie.

=) Totally agree.

Though, as a sidenote, this movie actually doesn't look bad at all.

I'm excited about this movie. I didn't see the first one because; well, it's awful. But this one looks a lot more promising. I guess will find out in a few more weeks. I hope that this turns out to be good and we can just laugh at the first one while enjoying the second.

I actually liked the first movie a lot, it was corny. Yes, but G.I. Joe, is corny and when people can accept the fact that G.I. Joe is not about bad asses, it's about good guys winning against bad in super stupid ways then it's easier to enjoy the first movie and of course everyones favorite character is snake eyes, but you're going to make a fan service movie with snake eyes and storm shadow then milk it on it's own time like marvel did with wolverine... See how well that works for you.

I feel the same. I hate reviews a lot of times for Comic and Cartoon adaptations. They use the comments "it's unbelievable" "this can't really happen" "why is there comedy" etc. My answer its a movie that is "fake" and based on an "unreal" subject matter.

I feel the same way when watching Transformers and Green Lantern. While they have mixed reviews I watch them for the enjoyment and excitement of the movie. I never go into an adaptation trying to compare it to the original subject matter. Why because things have to change to make it work on the Big Screen and to get a wider audience. Is it always for the best, probably not, but it usually still provides a good watch.

G.I. Joe: Retaliation UK Trailer with NEW FOOTAGE!

The hits just keep on coming! While this trailer is quite similar to the US one, there is some additional footage in the Cobra “war room” and some extra dialogue with Firefly! Hot damn!

NOTHING can be worse than Snake-eyes sucking on the inside of his own mask and exo-powersuits that allows Marlan Wayans to dodge missiles.

for that reason alone, this looks better.

Chu and the producer told me Snake Eyes will get plenty of screen time.

Jon M. Chu: That’s the one thing I felt like we could really milk in this movie: Snake Eyes versus Storm Shadow. Everyone wanted to see more, everyone wanted to see a better, crazier fight so we give that to them in spades. I can’t wait for people to see Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow. To me they are elemental... ying versus yang, and when they go at it it’s pretty epic.
Lorenzo di Bonaventura: There’s a lot more of that story line in this movie. So you’re going to see different elements of both of them doing a lot more in this movie. I would say that storyline is just about as big as the whole Joes storyline. It’s a little bit like Empire Strikes Back the way Luke is off with Yoda and the other guys are trying to fight the fight.

How is Storm Shadow alive??? Didn't he get Darth Maul'd in the last one??

I asked Jon M. Chu (the director) and here was his answer:

Chu: (laughs) We have a little explanation, but it’s hard because at the same time we’re like “we have to go into this whole thing” and I don’t want to know how he survives and all that, but you definitely get a reason why. And then we get him back and we’re moving on.

Firefly is played by Ray Stevenson, the guy who said boom in the trailer.

Yup! And the Rock said they apparently have a pretty brutal melee.

I am a little sad that it looks like they killed everybody from the first film. Either that some of them got captured like Snake Eyes was in one of the previous trailers. Looks like its gonna be a movie though

@Daywing: Even if Duke was meant to be a very straight and serious role, there still wasn't any passion behind his performance/delivery. But yeah, 21 Jump Street was a very nice surprise :D

So does Duke die? Tatum was probably busy filming for something else if so and could only make a cameo...

It looks like he's killed in the initial ambush, but I wouldn't be surprised if somehow he magically shows up later. I thought he was terribly wooden in the first film, but his performance in 21 Jump Street really won me over.

I really hope so and I have to agree with you on the wooden aspect, but then again I don't know much about G.I. Joe so Duke always seemed the wooden type to me anyway. Agreed, he was hilarious in 21 Jump Street!

Got to speak with Chu, Rock and a few others at NYC's Toy Fair about this movie a few months back. They're all really passionate about it and you can tell they're huge fans. Hopefully it turns out to be as fun as the trailers look!

Whether you liked the previous movie or not, most likely not, and no matter how good the new movie looks, its still upsetting to think that all the characters introduced in the first movie are just killed. Marlan Wayans, Quade, Tatum, Nicholes, etc. They're all dead sir.

That starts the movie out on a major downer. Imagine going into X-Men 3 with some of the major characters killed... I mean imagine them making a Green Lantern 2 starting with the death of Hal Jordan because fans didn't like the first film...

I just don't like them killing everyone off.
