…instead, no, I’m hyped as all hell for this damn sequel.

GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra was a ridiculous film, not always in a good way. Sure, you had Joseph Gordon-Levitt chewing up scenery as Cobra Commander, and some surreal attention to detail (did you notice the flame thrower soliders who’s sole purpose was to deice Cobra’s icey fortress?), but all and all, not a good movie.

That said, with just one trailer, GI Joe: Retaliation actually looks like an absolute hoot of a popcorn flick.

You’ve got color coded ninjas, Cobra Commander in the glass helmet, my boy Dwayne, Bruce f’n Willis and COBRA TAKING OVER THE GODDAMNED WHITE HOUSE. This is completely ridiculous. In a good way. Hell, it’s even directed by the guy who did Step Up 3D, the film that brought us the third dimension of dance, after all.

That HAS to be worth a matinee, right?!

GI Joe: Retaliation releases on June 29th, 2012.
