G.I. Joe movie, please don’t suck

February

I’ve been a nervous wreck all day.

Yesterday, as I was watching the Super Bowl on my beloved 120-inch HD projector screen, I watched the trailer for the G.I. Joe movie coming out this summer.

G.I. Joe was one of my favorite cartoons as a kid. What on Earth is all this high-tech slow motion Matrix crap that they’re trying to infuse into the movie?

Cleavage, Marlon Wayans as Ripcord and knocking down the Eiffel Tower with moss? Seriously Hollywood, that’s all you got?

(It should be noted, that I am a strong fan of one of those items).

To be fair, I was a HUGE skeptic of the Transformers movie, which remade another baller cartoon from my childhood. And that movie was a whirling dervish of awesomeness. So I guess I’ll have to wait until summertime. Until then, I remain skeptical.

Dude when I saw Stormshadow and Snake Eyes, for the brief second that they showed them, I nearly lost it.

I think Snake Eyes might be the only thing I’m looking forward to at this point. He’s being played by Ray Park, the martial artist who played Darth Maul in Star Wars and Toad in X-Men
