Yo-joe, bitches.

rollin · Feb 2009

as much as i think transformers2 will be boring, i hopfe gijoe won´t

Marine · Feb 2009

gi joe looks awesomely over the top

Jeremy Lindstrom · Feb 2009

BAYSPLOSION!

Asherr · Feb 2009

GI Joe has Marlon Waynes in it....

Steve Schulze · Feb 2009

Ooh. Constructicons.

And that bitey guy. I wonder if that's the movie's take on Ravage. Which would also likely mean Soundwave. We likes Soundwave.

Oh wait, were we supposed to be cynical about this?

LoTekK · Feb 2009

Asherr: to be fair, so did Requiem for a Dream.

GI Joe looks like it could be a lot of fun.

Tumerboy · Feb 2009

I have no interest in transformers after the last one, but I have high hopes for Joe.

I read somewhere, right after the first movie, that soundwave would indeed be in the sequel. I hope its true, Soundwave is awesome!

Then you should go watch Transformers again and adjust your hopes downwards, perhaps 3 Edwardian Units also known as E.U.'s or Boilers.

Mark Dygert · Feb 2009

"BAYSPLOSION!"

ha!

I'll only go see it if:
Labeouf gets more screen time then all the transformers put together. With an actor that has such theatrical reach, you have to leverage his full potential!
Labeouf gets pinned to the ground at least 3 more times and then manages to scramble out of the way when something distracts whatever Decepticon is about to make a skid mark out of him (que above look).
More slow-mo.
More baysplosions.
More slow-mo baysplosions.
More product placement, like the 360 that comes to life. Only this time it should ROD after a few seconds.
Oh and more authority figures being leaked on...

flaagan · Feb 2009

I'll watch the new transformers just to see the Centennial Corvette...

... and the other cool shit.

Lee3dee · Feb 2009

looks like I have a reason to watch the super bowl now, so I don't miss these trailers!

Is it bad that we are being catered to like this by big media? We're totally big children.

Oh boy, Snakeyes!!!

I fail to see how this is a bad thing.

adam · Feb 2009

Transformers should be a fun time @ the movies, same with GI Joe.

Question - think the 2 metal dudes in the GI Joe trailer seen a couple of times are the Cobra twins Tomax and Xamot?

mLichy · Feb 2009

lol, transformers video is already unavailable.

JesterBox · Feb 2009

I hope there's a prat in GI Joe were all the action suddenly stops and tell some kids never to swim without supervision from a responsible adult.

moose · Feb 2009

both look generic and boring!

yay!

congrats you hit 1,000 posts! (I saw that while writing this reply :P)

Ummm I'm going to have to disagree. Any movie with Megan Fox in it will draw my attention. mhm... I said it. haha.

moose · Feb 2009

NICE! i think i subconsiously posted that just so i could hit 1k.

transformers does look pretty rad - definitely down for some awesome mechybits exploding and having techno orgasms everywhere.

GIjoe... mehhhh, think that'll fall into the "inspector gadget" movie department

Jeremy-S · Feb 2009

Not a fan of the first transformers movie, but that's only cause I was hoping for something else. Not sure how to feel about the second one yet. Probably be a dvd rental for me.

And if there's not a "...And knowing is half the battle!" at the end of the Joe movie credits, someone needs to be shot.

They should throw this in while there at it...

Just kidding. But really... it would be hilarious if half way through the movie they played this...

OMG, I was inhaling a cigarette when the dialogue hit, I seriously can't breath now... That was hilarious.

coming from a guy who makes video games for a living?

I think for the most part we all are big children if where in a industry like this, haha

Tumerboy · Feb 2009

My hope for GI Joe is that they have a massive battle scene, with everyone shooting millions of lasers out of M16s, and no one hitting anything.

Josh_Singh · Feb 2009

I hope these are the movies that can finally give me the answers I seek about life.
Give me hope, inspiration and Direction.
If they don't then they will suck.

I_luv_Pixels · Feb 2009

o hell yeah! these both look awesome!

pior · Feb 2009

Pass!

I hope you're 100% right with that assumption. :thumbup:

I don't like the trend in these huge budget, action adventure, made-for-PG types where the directors are practically looking for excuses to add CGI/action into the mix.
indy 4, transformers, van helsing, The Mummy movies...Pearl Harbor
I just don't get much out of it

kypo · Feb 2009

the u tube video seems to be dead now but you can see the transforms 2 trailer on the offical site http://www.transformersmovie.com/

has any one seen the new pixar film trailer? http://disney.go.com/disneypictures/up/

TheMadArtist · Feb 2009

For the TF2 trailer: Yes that is Ravage and yes Soundwave is in the movie as a satellite.

Honestly, I just want a movie that won't make me squirm in my seat and feel embarrased about my generation.

From what I hear that's power armor worn by the Joes.

I'm with moose, these trailers look like they could be from the same damn dull action movie.

Wells · Feb 2009

dull?!

perhaps you didn't see the CG ninja flipping over a car in slow motion

There's a difference between CGI action shots in Indy 4 and Transformers. CGI humans are usually bad.

Quite frankly, I wish the whole movie was just a 2 hour long fight scene of robots beating the shit out of each other. Why the hell would I not love that?

I don't need Oscar award winning writing to enjoy myself for 2 hours.

It's like going to the Superbowl and complaining there wasn't enough character development. Both properties were not great pieces of fiction to begin with. They' were just toy commercials.

Can you have both great story and great action? Yes. Does it need it? No, and last years box office numbers proved it.

It is what it is and I love it for what it is.

Jesse Moody · Feb 2009

I'm with skankerzero on this. I liked the first Transformers. It is what it is. I don't care about the love story, awkward kid. I just saw bad ass huge robots transforming and fighting. Shit blowing up. Whatever.

It was worth the money I spent in theaters and on the blu ray disk. I'll see both Joe and TF2 for sure.

Saidin311 · Feb 2009

The GI Joe trailer is garbage. But I'm still looking forward to the movie. I hate CGI humans, look at the difference between the Matrix 1 and 2-3. The fight scene's in 1 were all wires. But when Neo rips a metal pole out of the ground and beats up 1000 smiths it's almost 100% CGI. It looks too fake. Same with the 'ninja/cobra' guy jumping over a car in the GI Joe trailer. Looks cool in theory but so obviously CGed in practice.

As for the Transformers trailer it's still available on youtube (just not that link), but you get rick-rolled about 10 times before you'll find a legit one hahaha.

Apple has both superbowl tv spots up on their trailers site in HD.

http://www.apple.com/trailers/paramount/transformersrevengeofthefallen/

http://www.apple.com/trailers/paramount/gijoeriseofcobra/

i think they both look dumb and probably won't be seeing them. haven't even watched the first Transformers movie yet.

that's unfortunate because ILM did some fantastic work with the art in the film.

The transformations from robot to alt mode are so seemless and really a testament to modeling and rigging.

Tumerboy · Feb 2009

skanker, while it's pretty amazing work, I HATED the robots in the first movie, precisely because they were overcomplicated. They were hard to read, and I found myself looking away sometimes because I couldn't tell wtf I was looking at. Admittedly, it was cool, but the old school transformers were great because of how simple they were. Even in robot form, you could easily identify one from another, and easily tell what each one transformed into. "that one's a tank, that's a plane, that's a semi truck." They lost that in the movie. They made it so intricate and complex that you couldn't tell what anything was supposed to be anymore.

skankerzero · Feb 2009

yeah, I can understand that point of view too.

I saw one of their early test shots with a more G1 style robot and it just didn't look good to me. It just looked like a big toy to me.

I personally like the direction they went with, but I wish that at least their inner structure had color to separate the parts of their bodies better.
