New GI Joe movie trailer

Video: Is awesomely cool power armour enough to make GI Joe a good film?

You know, I just don't know what to think of the new GI Joe trailer, or the film itself for that matter.

On the one hand, you've got an evil Chris Eccleston, a femme fatale in some kind of combat corset, lots of explosions (Mr Somers? Michael Bay would like his effects team back), the French getting upset and some awesomely cool power armour. Not enough films have awesomely cool power armour, and until either a Halo or Warhammer 40k film comes along, there can never be enough awesomely cool power armour.

On the other hand... it's a film based on a toy franchise. Buzz kill.

Anyway... you be the judge.

So - whaddaya think, Atomicans?

The trekkie in me prefers Rachel Nichols as an Orion. Though she is sporting a lot of red hair lately for a natural blonde.

Looks cool, wonder what the green stuff is? Super Acid? Termites injected with V? And those suits remind me more of Crysis than anything else.

Looks cheesy but fun. Question is to see it at the cinema or wait for the rental?

It doesn't even resemble G.I Joe to me, well my memory of the cartoon movie and eps.

I'm kind of glad it doesn't look like the cartoons, otherwise all I'd be able to think of are those hilarious PSAs that were re-worked a few years ago.
