G.I. Joe Retaliation

I hope it means that the special effects will be improved then because I was not too impressed with what I saw in the theater preview. I enjoyed the first film more than others but I had low expectations coming into it. Now my expectations are higher for the sequel and I hope they don't disappoint. If this was Star Trek I would be a little miffed but GI Joe? eh!

A bit of a shock. I think maybe with Battleship not doing well, Paramount and Hasbro probably wanted to push this off until later, and hope that 3D will get people excited. I was looking forward to seeing this, but like Kevin Mentioned, I certainly can wait.

I just find it interesting that they waited until about a month from release to push the date and make this change. Lots of ad's and trailers listing the June release date were kind of a waste now for them. It will be interesting to see how well this does next March when it comes out.

It's definitely an interesting turn of events. I'm sure this happens more then I realize but it does seem strange that they would push it so close to release.

When I saw this I was thinking of why they would do a move like that. I think it could do with Spiderman coming out the following week. As well as The Avengers did maybe they got cold feet. The 3-D thing could just be a good reason to have to make the move. Just my 2 cents.
Oh, yeah, and Abraham Linclon: Vampire Killer comes out the week before! Just kidding about that one.

I wonder if the release is just being put back in just the States or world wide? I just saw a trailer for the movie before seeing Men In Black 3 this afternoon!?

I really don't think they would wait 9 months between an overseas release and releasing it over here. The pirates would have a field day with that!

Has anyone else seen G.I. Joe: Retaliation yet? I was going to comment on it, but just in case I will hold off a little. One thing, without giving any of the plot away it that I didn't find it as enjoyable as the first movie. :)

I saw it with Mark today. It was ok. Some fun stuff in it. But I agree, I don't think I enjoyed it as much as the first one.

It doesn't seem to have taken as much as the first movie! What it is about Hollywood this year [spoiler]two movies have London destroyed twice, this one and the new Star Trek! Hollywood, leave London alone!! lol[/spoiler]

I did find it a bit draggy abit in the middle...tempted to go and buy a cola to keep awake! lol

I saw it today with my wife. It was alright, lots of action which was good. I had a tough time deciding who was the major villain though, and really wanted Cobra Commander to have a larger role.
[spoiler]I also found it odd that Storm Shadow was with the Joe's one scene, and then the next he was with Cobra. Since he was kidnapped by the Joe's, I am not sure how he would have explained his presence to Cobra Commander.[/spoiler]
