Last line uttered by one of two Joes that had been outnumbered and was pinned down upon finding that the entire threat was neutralized--by one man: "Ninja? I didn't know we had a ninja."
The promos then ends with "NOW YOU KNOW" flashing forward before the clip ends.
It's pretty fun and I love how the show looks (animated sort of like a video game).
GI Joe in full movie house form is about to be released. I've seen the GI Joe trailer–twice. The first time was about a week ago and then again tonight at my first Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen, viewing. I've seen a couple GI Joe the movie promos online as well.
I watched quite a bit of GI Joe over the years– the more recent (last 90's/early aughts), and older (late 80's/eraly 90's) and the original old-time cartoon GI Joe (early 70's; probably reruns from the later 60's as well) by the happenstance that I grew up with a brother and a father who liked cartoons. Then married I had teo kids–boys and I made it a point to sit down for a part of every time they watched television because they didn't watch a lot–and I like cartoons, too.
My youngest son, age almost-17, remarked tonight after seeing the trailer for GI Joe,"That's not anything like the GI Joe I remember."
I did not recognize it as a GI Joe movie until it was really obvious upon first viewing–I was just thinking "what a cheesy movie–wonder what it is…" On tonight's second viewing of the GI Joe trailer of theatrical release, I thought "cheesy" and, "they are trying too hard with too little pay-off."
It's hard to bring a television doll/action figure or toy to life on the big screen. It doesn't work more often than it does.
