Does anyone remember Megaforce? If you don’t, be thankful, but I think we’re about to experience it again.

In June 1982 there was a movie released that was so bad it set a whole new benchmark for suckatude.  That lucky film was Megaforce.  Considering I was a month short of turning 11-years-old, I wanted to see it.  I remember my father took me, and after it was over he turned to me and asked me what I thought of it.  At the ripe old age of 10-years-old and 11-months I said, “Well… the vehicles were cool.”

Yep, I was already critical of movies.

On later viewings I realized just how bad it was, and when I say it was bad, I mean it was trauma inducing bad.  I think my eyes actually bled at one point.

Unfortunately, this latest G.I. Joe – The Rise of Cobra trailer makes me think of the same thing.  The unfortunate part is that this time it is based on a beloved property that was loved by many kids in the 1980’s.  Instead of a popcorn action flick, we’re getting something with slapstick comedy, impossibly stupid “accelerator suits” and sub-par line delivery.  So help me, the trailer for this makes Transformers look high class, and that’s saying a lot for me.

If this wasn’t bad enough, you can check out a full scene from G.I. Joe – The Rise of Cobra here.
