One of the boys over at Nuke the Fridge was unfortunate enough to get an early look at the teaser trailer for GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra at a “test screening.” Yeah, you read that right, a test screening for the trailer. Hey man, whatever.
The bad news, both for fans and Paramount, is that the reviewer described it as “worse than horrible.” He describes the trailer as featuring bad CGI, poorly choreographed fights, and members of the Joe team all dressed like Snake-Eyes. Oh, and something about the Eiffel Tower being covered in green goop. Are we certain he didn’t see a mash-up of TMNT 2: Secrets of the Ooze and Ghostbusters 2? (Both feature goop!) Then again, Stephen Sommers is directing, so I wouldn’t be surprised by any amount of suck. (Why is this guy still working?)
Basically everything that was said about the trailer came across horribly negative. So negative, in fact that Paramount gave the ol’ “Cease and desist” warning, which temporarily caused the site to remove the review. However, posting review material (when no contract has been signed stating otherwise) is not infringement of any kind and the review is back up.
GI Joe is planned for a Summer 2009 release and none of this horrible news comes as a surprise.
Check out the full review here.
On a scale of 1-10, how badly do you think Stephen Sommers is going to screw up GI Joe?
