by: Mike Sampson Feb. 2, 2009

After checking out all the Super Bowl spots and then digging deeper into TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN with a bunch of hi-res screencaps, we're giving GI JOE: THE RISE OF COBRA the same HD treatment. We slowed the clip down to see what exactly was going on in some of those quick flashes. What I saw didn't exactly blow my mind like the TRANSFORMERS trailer did (what's with the smile/mouthline on Snake Eyes' mask??) but it was good enough to keep me optimistic (it pretty much looked exactly like how I expected a Stephen Sommers GI JOE movie to look). Check out the clip again here and then click on any of the pics below to see a hi-res copy.

If you showed me the second from bottom picture and said guess the movie, I'd honestly have no idea. Baroness is the only one spot on. But hey, Optimus had lips, so does Snake Eyes... we'll see. I'm worried, but as Penny Arcade put it so eloquently: "Cautiously optimistic."

Theres no doubt in my mind that it will be fun. But theres also no doubt in my mind that it will be a lesser movie than it could have been./

90% of the movie CGI? Seriously? It's based off of a cartoon and kids action figure...CGI is and will be a large part of movies for the foreseeable future...deal with it. Try to have some "fun", that's what these movies are made for.

I was so so about this when the posters were released. But after watching the trailer, I'm sold!! This is gonna be another fun popcorn action flick (like the 1st Mummy, not Van Helsing). Hope there's not too many CGI that gonna ruin the action scenes. If they make M.A.S.K. into live-action movie, I'd die happily hahaha.

G.I. Joe PSA's were tight.
But I couldn't care less about this. The nosebleed PSA was my favorite: [link]

I think this lookd awesome
I wa suprised how fun this flick looked. It is film based on a bunch of toys, why can't it just be a fun ride, much like Transformers? I mean what do people expect this to be The Godfather. GIve me some cool action and a fun ride and I will be happy.

I don't know why you guys are flipping out on the CGI. You guys are acting as if G.I.-Joe was based of a live action TV show. IT WAS A CARTOON.

C.G.I. Joe indeed...
Sommers should just start making animated films. CGI should be used to enhance a film not carry it. Why bother using "live" actors if 90% of the film is a cartoon???

Still on the fence about this one. Nothing really excites me, but I'll wait until I see more.

CGI JOE
H'wood teasers are so much relying on unfinished (and often unbelievably lame, like that underwater shot worthy of Sky Captain) CGI shots that they fail to properly tease me 9 times out of 10.

And since it's a Stephen Sommers flick, there's probably not much else to show than CGI anyway. So I think I'll pass on that one. Transformers and Iron Man were silly enough, I don't need ...

Snake-Eyes' costume is actually nearly 100% faithful to how he looks in recent comics. And trust me, you'd probably rather the movie be more faithful to the comics, than the hokey 80s cartoons.

Not quite excited yet
Doesn't look bad, fun but nothing groundbreaking. Of course, I won't pass judgment until I see Levitt.

This looks good. doesn't really look like GI Joe (except hawk, who looks like Flint). but still could be cool.

I'm reserving judgement

Regarding to the mouth outlines on Snake's mask I remember having the same reaction when I first saw Optimus Prime speaking without the metal mouth piece...kinda like:"Huh...what?"
But there's no doubt I'll be there opening day.
