6 Joes That Should Appear in the Next G.I. Joe Movie
I saw G.I. Joe: Retaliation this past weekend, and I rather enjoyed it. The film had a lot of great action, a good story and some fantastic characters. And that’s half the fun of G.I. Joe, right? Awesome characters? Or maybe they’re the other half of the battle…Anyway, if you were a kid in the 80s like me, then G.I. Joe was one of the coolest cartoon/toy combinations available. There were dozens, if not hundreds, of unique, individual characters, each with their own awesome style. Not to mention amazing vehicles, playsets and more. Does anybody else remember the Rolling Thunder?
Hells yeah, you do!
The Joes have a deep bench of characters, which might explain why the cast in G.I. Joe: Retaliation is almost completely different than in the first Joe movie (with the exception of Snake Eyes, of course, who we all know is the best G.I. Joe). Or maybe they just wanted to distance themselves from The Rise of Cobra. Either way, we can almost guarantee there’s going to be a threequel, which means more Joes! Here are the six classic G.I. Joes that I think would be great for the big screen.
Might We Actually Get a Good G.I.Joe Movie?
I ask that having never seen the first G.I.Joe movie. But then seeing Marlon Wayans jumping around in a faux Iron Man suit just completely turned me off on that first movie. Plus Snake Eyes had lips on his mask. What the hell was that all about?
Anyway, they got a new director who seems to have a new, Joe-based focus. The first trailer was pretty cool, and this one ratchets the coolness factor up several degrees. Still feels like they’re needlessly shoving Bruce Willis into the film though. What do you guys think of the trailer for G.I.Joe: Retaliation?
