First movie was pretty bad, this looks MUCH, MUCH better. Really good cast and from the look of the trailer great production values. Unless the story is just horrendous this should be a money maker and a good movie to see.

 

[John McHenry]

Some things look good production value wise but others look horribly cheap. Not a fan of tossing quaid out the window. Hope fraiser has another cameo too. Seems like they just have the attack in the beginning to explain why some actors aren't in the movie.

 

[Heisenberg]

Definitely going to see this. Love The Rock as an actor especially in action movies and this film is gonna draw like crazy with the names in it now such as Bruce Willis but more especially with The Rock. He's the reason Fast Five earned so much money and the last Journey movie compared to the ones before it.

Can't wait.

 

[Rated R Superstar]

I honestly enjoyed the first movie. Although, I loved the show when I was a kid. And played with the action figures like crazy! I'll definitely go see this movie. I just don't like the fact that the white ninja dude from Cobra is back. HE SHOULD BE DEAD DAMNIT!

 

[Tapout]

Channing Tatum <3 Man crush, I mean what?

Anyways, I didn't much care for the first one but this one looks a lot better. Hoping the Rock can perform. I haven't seen any of his serious stuff since Grid Iron Gang. Which I think was a highly underrated movie.

Anyways, my theater is giving a free showing of this the day before it comes out. So I'll see it then.

Paramount announced that they are moving "G.I. Joe 2" release date all the way to March 29th, 2013.

Paramount says the move is to ready the film for 3D, especially for international markets. The movie, which was scheduled to be released on June 29, will now be released in the heart of WWE's WrestleMania 29 hype. Rock has already said he will be part of WM29.

Well not that I was really looking forward to it but seems like a Blue move especially since they already started the ad campaign. I hope it leaks online really early and then sales get fucked over.

Would be due to Avengers doing so well and Dark Knight Rises coming out soon and Amazing SpiderMan opening around that time as well. Might have been lost in the shuffle. It is a bit crazy to delay the release by so long, surely they aren't banking on wrestling fans to make this big.

Trailer actually looks quite good, was never interested in the first one but I might actually go see this ........ in 10 months time.

 

[Slim]

I am pretty sure that they'll move the release date up from that far away. Probably Thanksgiving time or Christmas. But yeah releasing it where it currently was... it would not have fared very well. Avengers was killer in the box office. Batman is going to be absolutely awesome and will be selling out for a while and will challenge Avengers in the box office numbers. Spiderman is actually looking better and better and will do rather well. And considering how meh the first GI Joe was... this one has a lot to try to accomplish to get over... BUT that is also not taking into consideration that there is another big action movie coming out in The Expendables 2 so its like GI Joe II didn't have much chance to really get much done if it came out during this time so it was smart to delay it. And at least the reasoning they gave "saves face" but we all know why it is being delayed.

 

[Kairi]

guess they aren't confident in their product if they don't want to be out with other competitive movies, if it's going to bomb it isn't going to matter what the release date is imo
