Another character vignette has made its way online, courtesy of what appears to be a foreign YouTube channel. It’s a great minute long look at the Lady Jaye character with some great new footage featuring Lady Jaye herself and our first really good look at Agent Mouse!
Check it out embedded below. Thanks to Skinny from SerpentorsLair for the info.
I just posted the link to Mike Ryan’s article saying that no real reviews have gone up yet, but then bam! We suddenly have a few reviews. I have posted some links below to check out these reviews, although keep in mind, there are some spoilers throughout. I have put the review scores in parentheses next to the link so folks can get an idea of the response without actually risking spoilers.
Reaction so far, among these critics, remains mostly positive. It will be very interesting to keep watch on this as the next few days go on, as more and more reviews from various advanced screenings start getting posted.
There is a RottenTomatos spot for G.I. Joe: Retaliation as well, with the above three reviews linked to it, but not enough to yet build a “consensus”. That should change over the next few days!
While we don’t appear to have any mainstream reviews of G.I. Joe: Retaliation yet, we’ve seen some quick-hit response from Larry Hama on Facebook, and now Mike Ryan, Senior Entertainment Writer for the Huffington Post has put his .02 out there as well.
In all fairness, I need to mention that Mike Ryan is a G.I. Joe nerd, and is specifically a Larry Hama comic fan, so he’s “in the trenches” with us so to speak. He’s not a true outside person reviewing the film on its merits alone. But he has some really great perspective and I truly hope his reaction matches the reactions of many other people who go see the film.
Check it out over on the Huff Post Blog.
No pun intended in the title… ah, who am I kidding? Pun definitely intended. It’s a Friday, which means Twitziller is focusing on a major factor today, and that factor is one that many of us can probably guess, especially based on my horrible pun up above.
#7:
I know I’ve mentioned in the past how humorous it is that only ten years ago, Hasbro could barely even keep the copyright active for Roadblock, and here we are with the character the focal point of the entire film franchise. I think the character is a great choice, and the actor is equally great for this role. So why does Roadblock make sense for the film? He’s a larger than life character, with a lot of personality. He’s someone who still has some open ends in his history, yet he’s familiar enough with fans to resonate. He was a focal point in the cartoon, and had some very key roles in the comics as well, and was one of the few characters who could transcend both.

I hadn’t seen any mention of this, and I don’t have any of these locally, but friend of GeneralsJoes Joe H. made me aware that apparently Carls Jr. is giving away cups from the G.I. Joe: Retaliation film. More details can be found on CarlsJr.com. Thanks for the info, Joe!
Big thanks to Collider for posting a great, monstrous gallery of high resolution images in celebration of next week’s G.I. Joe: Retaliation launch! There are plenty of images here that we’ve seen before, but there are also some great new ones as well. Check out Collider, and I’ve also mirrored the images below.
