G.I. JOE: RISE OF THE COBRA!
Usually reserved for unnecessary sequels, G.I. Joe has landed itself a subtitle.
It shall now be known not just as G.I. Joe but with G.I. JOE: RISE OF THE COBRA. But of course we will still call it G.I. JOE. Today we got a new character poster for the film featuring Channing Tatum as Duke…
Presumably the Cobra in the title has a lot to do with Joseph Gordon Levitt’s so far unseen character and I believe main villain, Cobra Commander.
Why studio’s think these subtitles do movie projects any good is beyond me. Stallone got it right by just calling his last two movies Rocky Balboa and Rambo. Nolan ain’t calling his movies Batman Begins: Rise of the Dark Knight or anything corny like that.
G.I. Joe was fine. Rise of the Cobra sounds straight to DVD!

When you’ve got no script, actors or clue you need all the help you can get! They can call it G.I Joe: The Greatest Action Movie Ever Made, and it wouldn’t help this turd of a flick.
Maybe they should call it Lorenzo DiBoneventura Trying to Keep Himself Afloat By Making a Movie Out of Every Toy or Novel License He Can Get…Hmm, that’s kinda long.
Okay, just call it G.I.JOE: Hollywood Screws Up Again!
That’s Better.

It helps add awareness.

Jaysmack must have a time machine, his bitching is always ahead. It must have been great to travel forward in time so he could tell us what he thought of the movie…oh wait.

Hey, Tino. do you find it easier to be an asshole, or a dumbass? Never mind.

I was right about Transformers, though you drooled on yourself and thought it was great. I was right about Iron Man being “the robot movie I’m looking forward to.”
How about you? Still trying to get back that 2 1/2 hours of your pointless life you wasted watching Bayformers?

The first Star Wars movie wasn’t called “A New Hope” until the sequels were released. The first Indy movie doesn’t technically have a subtitle (in fact, there’s usually no colon at all, it’s usually just referred to as “Raiders of the Lost Ark”), and Lord of the Rings is generally just used to describe the whole trilogy, with the subtitles used to identify them.
