The GI Joe clip shown on the MTV Twilight Awards is now online.
The clip features the leadup action to the Eiffel Tower Attack scene we saw in the trailers and then shows a whole pile of action shots from the rest of the film.
The action looks over-the-top good and could prove to at least be some splodey eyecandy fun. And Baroness oozes sex appeal. Meow.
But I am still irked by little things like why Baroness and Stormshadow have to fight their way into a secure building just to shoot a rocket out a window to stage their weapon demonstration? Especially when they have an airship waiting to take them away. Why not just fly in and shoot the tower and fly out? Maybe something else happens that facilitates them needing to be there.
And the Booster Suits bother me. The Joes are supposed to be best of the best in their feild, but they require a suit that makes them faster and stronger. Best wasn’t good enough. And then in the midst of combat, lets throw off the protective helmet! I am sure I can be more effective that way! How else can I get these sexy scars that make me so much more effective when I brood?
The film will be littered with Joe fanboy moments as we see real world interpretations of classic Joe toys with massive action shots. It looks like it will be a lot of fun, but mostly because I expect nothing but action eyecandy out of this.
No one here will win an Oscar for this film, but they might win an MTV Award category. Best Eiffel Tower Attack.
