Put aside what you thought of the first GI Joe film for a minute, and let’s take a look at a few notes about the above 30-second spot for GI Joe: Retaliation:
- Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson quoting Jay-Z
- …followed immediately by the song he quotes being played over the trailer
- Explosions
- Bruce Willis firing off a gun in the back of a truck (hilarious every time I see it)
- A look at Cobra Commander in full costume alongside Firefly (0:06)
- More explosions
- An appearance by Jinx
- Ninjas
- More explosions
One thing’s for sure: if you’re anything like MC writer Chad Bowers, you probably just had a heart attack of excitement.
GI Joe: Retaliation hits theaters on June 29th, 2012. And when we say “hit”, we mean it literally.
