Must Watch: Fun Trailer for ‘G.I. Joe: Retaliation’

Wow the first trailer for Jon Chu’s G.I. Joe: Retaliation has been released and it actually looks kind of awesome?! Most of the original cast is gone and for a good reason, the trailer starts with the G.I. Joe team getting slaughtered except for a few survivors that include Dwayne Johnson, Channing Tatum, Adrianne Palicki, D.J. Cotrona, and Bruce Willis.

From this first look, this cast is a huge improvement and the trailer promises an action-packed movie with some really cool stunts. This definitely has a much cooler vibe than the previous installment, thanks in part to the White Stripes’ “Seven Nation Army” being used in the preview to great effect.

G.I. Joe: Retaliation opens June 29th, 2012. Check out the trailer, courtesy of Machinima:

  2. all i can say is Bruce Willis and The Rock!!! I…LOVE….IT…but then here’s that pesky channing tatum….

  3. Ted S. says:

    Hmm, I’ll probably wait and see if it gets some good reviews then I might go see it. The last one was just awful.

  4. Dan O. says:

    The first one was a big guilty pleasure for me but I have to say that this looks awesome and sort of like the film that I want to see.

  5. Nikhat says:

    I love Bruce Willis like this. Too much fun. It doesn’t look ridiculous, this film. I may watch it.

  6. OK, this looks better. Less bluhb-bluhb-bluhb boy, some Bruce Willis, and lots of THE MOST ELECTRIFYING MAN IN ALL OF ENTERTAINMENT!!!!!! THE JABRONI-BEATING, LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LOW-PIE-EATIN’, TRAIL-BLAZING, SHIT-KICKING, PEOPLE’S CHAMP, THE BRAHMA BULL, THE GREAT ONE…

    IF YOU SMELL-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA… WHAT THE ROCK… IS COOKING?

  7. Scott says:

    HAHAHA I am loving it. Looks mindless fun. Just what the summer needs!!

  8. Dear Bruce Willis: If you’re too old to do anything other than sit in the back of a truck, maybe it’s time to move on from the action movies?

  9. Andrew says:

    How do you improve on the first film (which I didn’t like)? Add the Rock and more ninjas. Correction– more ninjas, fighting on a cliff.

    That last reveal is also pretty perfect.

    Oh, man. I don’t know, dude. Not sure how I feel about The White Stripes in a GI Joe trailer and washed-up Bruce Willis doing more washed-up shit. Was hoping to get knocked on my ass like with the Ghost Rider 2 trailer, but staying hopeful all the same.

  11. ruth says:

    Well if you think seeing Channing Tatum doing what he does best is FUN, then yeah I suppose. I only saw this trailer as my hubby said, you’re gonna get a kick out of the last few seconds of this. Yiippiikayeee MF! :D

  12. Jaina says:

    I watched the first one this year for the love of JGL and boy was it bad. But in a watchable sorta way. This one looks like a heck of a lot more fun. How can it be anything else with The Rock!?

  13. Julio Ibanez says:

    I really wasn’t expecting that! That actually looks almost awesome!

    If Ghost Protocol revives Mission Impossible and this brings credibility to the GI Joe series, I’ll have to concede to the Mayans and conclude that the world will most definitely end in 2012. :)
