Paramount Pictures has released six new character posters for G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra on MySpace. And yes, the movie still looks lame, but it seems like they’re trying really hard (may be too hard) to make it look cool. Check out all six posters after the jump.

  • ok so lets see the toy pics.
  • This is going to be so deliciously bad. I wonder how quickly the DVD happens after it hits theaters.
  • First it's not trying hard enough, now it's trying TOO hard? Wtf man? First off, make up your mind! Secondly, what do you have against this movie?!
  • I'll reserve judgement til i see the trailer. But about the posters, I don't understand why their heads all have to be cut off.
  • it makes them "edgy" and "cool", thereby connecting with the teens and young adults of today.
  • I want to see this movie, but what's with all the black costumes?
    I'm surprised they didn't give storm shadow a black costume as well.
    I hope Cobra Commander is still blue.
  • honestly the posters look OK. not terrible but not good. i would call it not trying hard enough.
  • optimusprime
    I have to agree with you. I really don't see the big deal about the posters.
  • Alex, you'll understand when you see the movie. I wish I could print what my inside sources say, but I am not able to. That aside, the posts just look lame.

  • How can you say that?! You haven't even seen it! What a ridiculous statement...

    Read the comments below. That one by "doctajones2418" is dead on!
  • Has he not hinted enough that he has seen and heard things that we have not? Many times certain members of press get to see things that they aren't allowed to report on for months, because they have to sign a contract before they are allowed to see the footage.
    He can't come right out and say, "Look. People have seen this movie. There have been screenings for producers and the like. These people, who have seen the movie are saying that it is shit and have told me specifically why it is shit. I jest can't tell you why... Yet..." But he is coming pretty damn close.
    Hollywood insiders know a bomb months before it hits theaters. Maybe some things will be cut differently, but you can only spray so much Lysol on a pile of shit to make it smell better, but in the end, guess what, it still smells like what it is. A big pile of shit.

    It's the same effect that Transformers has.... Once someone of some influence bags it, everyone hops aboard to Internet Trend Train and bashes it, just to fit in.... I find it funny that people have trashed this film, with not one second of footage being leaked to the public...

    Take that into consideration.... I love this site, but expected better reporting than just taking other people's internet droppings and smearing them all over this site.... You're better than that.... Especially, given the fact no one has seen footage of it...

    I'll be there, horrible or not to watch this movie, because, Knowing is half the battle....
  • some people have seen a lot of footage :)
  • Dan
    here here!
  • It's a movie based on a Saturday morning cartoon that was itself just an advertisement to sell toys. Really, how good can it be? And I don't want to hear the "Transformers was awesome" argument, cause it wasn't. It was okay, bordering on silly. And I think that's the best that G.I. Joe can hope for based on the source material and the people involved.

    BUT, transformers was a crap movie. and, thanks to insiders like peter, the crap trickled down. "editorial gravity" if you will.
    besides, isn't that part of the reason we come to /film?
    i love you all.
  • Sure its going to suck, but I will be there opening weekend. Go Joe!
  • I bashed it because I was dragged to see Transformers 5 times and I FREAKING HATE SHIA LABEOUF! Not just to fit in. :)

    I don't have anything bad to say about the actors in this movie...I don't even know who they are....but I can that I have a physic feeling it'll suck.
  • wow. this could be a lot of fun. not in a good way. still waiting on a trailer.
  • killerchopsticks
    I agree with the poster above me. They're okay, but honestly they're not that bad (the posters). I've seen worse.
  • I never said the posters looked horrible, i said they were "trying too hard" to be cool
  • Yeah, they remind me of the X-Men character posters for X3. Blatant rip off? Maybe.
  • Posted 21 minutes ago by Peter... "That aside, the posters just look lame." Maybe it's just me, but I would say horrible is pretty close to lame...
  • No, lame is a statement on them trying too hard. It's like the mountain dew extreme ads a couple years ago. They weren't horrible ads, but they tried too hard to be cool, thus they were "lame". Horrible is a statement on quality. :)
  • Are you and Alex not friends anymore because you didnt help him out in that fight with him and Chudd nazi..

    Come on guys, we are all friends here..
  • Me and Alex are still BFFs but we always disagree on movies. For example, I like good movies, and he likes everything (this includes a large portion of crap. This often leads to disagreements :)
  • Taylor Hatley
    Ew.
  • i'll definitely be waiting for the trailer and i won't pass judgement til then. The posters are alright, but i dont understand the deal with the heads being cut off.
  • mike
    all i can think of is that 1 one guy was in that dancing movie
  • Hm, i kinda like the armor-design.
  • REAL6
    Ive always been curious to know your age? Cause it will determine to all of us why you think certain movies are good we think are PURE EVIL!!!
  • you expect them to make the posters look cheesy? honestly i think that if this was any property other than gi fucking joe you'd be drooling, peter.
  • Head line for when G.I. Joe comes out. G.I. Blows! because knowing this movie is gonna suck is the whole Battle.
  • I do not know what to think about it yet. I do want to believe in Peter, but what everyone else is saying is true. We haven't seen any footage of this movie yet and it would not be fair to judge it based on nothing.

    But for example a lot of people were saying that Dragon Ball and Street Fighter were going to be really bad movies before any footage was released and it turned out to be not even close to the true. They were actually worse than we thought they were going to be when we saw some of the footage. So maybe, In this case it is the same situation or something similar. And I think that if Peter is saying that someone told him that it is bad and he is so certain about it, maybe is because it's true!
  • "Trying too hard"... trying too hard to do what, bore me to sleep?
  • the posters are hilarious, desperate, and cliched.
  • i could not agree more.

    how much you want to bet that the new toys will be in identical packaging?
  • They're trying to put emphasize on the crotchies and boobies. Which is what G.I Joe is all about. >.>
  • good one.
  • K-Man
    I can't wait not to see this movie. I remember the Justin Timberlake rumors for Duke and never thought it could get any worse and then they cast the Tiny Dancer, now, all these X-Men and Matrix ripoffs just rip my heart out.
  • David
    I saw this movie, judging from the posters, it was called "The Matrix Reloaded" at the time.
  • LOL Alex, didn't you say they look bad ass? I wrote an article on these posters, and I think they look like Under Armor ads.
  • starscream9289
    Gotta admit, the chicks look pretty hot. The Snake Eyes poster looks pretty cool, though.
  • The posters look ok. We will just have to wait for the trailer.
  • DarkStar
    How you guys can say these posters look LAME they better then the Street Fighter poster and the Dragonball movie poster. plus i remember when the first leaked image of Snake Eyes appear on the net everyone loved it now you people saying these poster are LAME sometime you guys need to chill out with your judgment. just wait for the actually trailer to judge the movie at least.
  • Chris
    Every once in a while I actually read the verbal diarrhea some of you self appointed film gurus spew. I honestly dunno why I bother. How the hell you come up with they are trying too hard to be cool, from posters of some of the characters makes no kinda sense. Did you wave your too cool and trying too hard wand in their direction and the alarms went off? Sure, they aren't the most original but what movie posters nowadays are?
    Lets also call it like it is... a crapload of guys are gonna go see it out of nostalgia from there childhood when they read the no words Snake Eyes comic and had their Joes dug in their mom's garden awaiting cobra's assault from across the yard.
    Lastly... No trailer... no leaked footage... and the bandwagon on bash it hard has pulled out the station... w00 h00... and the one person we are to trust on how the movie is says his best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who knows a guy who saw footage of it somewhere.... I guess it's pretty serious...
  • what the hell they screwed up. on all of the posters half of their heads are missing.
