The first G.I. JOE film did not interest me. At all. It looked silly and boring. However, after much persuasion, my cohort convinced me to watch it, and man was I shocked at how fun the film was and how much I ended up enjoying it. When the sequel was announced, there was excitement all around the blog. While seeing MISSION: POSSIBLE - GHOST PROTOCOL in IMAX, we saw this trailer and nearly jumped out of our seats with excitement.
Unfortunately, to everyone's dismay, the film got pushed back from a June 2012 release to March 2013. Studios initially said it was to up-convert to 3D; a decision I would assume one would make before releasing a bunch of trailers or a multi-million dollar Super Bowl spot. Then reports came out that producers wanted to cash in on the success of Channing Tatum and expand his part in the second film. That, I can agree with.
But now we're in the home stretch to find out if delaying RETALIATION almost a year will be worth it. Javi seems to think so. This film is one of his most anticipated of 2013.
Thanks to Break.com, we have a new trailer for the film which features more ninjas and Bruce Willis.

How badass will that mountain fight scene look in IMAX? I'm on my little computer right now, but I got that breathless feeling you get when you go over the first hill of a roller coaster. As per the studios, post-conversion 3D can be a quick and messy process. However, since this film was given ample time, maybe this post-conversion won't make us want to claw our eyes out.
There will be an extended four minute preview in front of HANSEL & GRETEL: WITCH HUNTERS in both IMAX 3D and non 3D.
G.I. JOE: RETALIATION will be released March 29, 2013, is directed by John Chu, and stars Dwayne Johnson, Bruce Willis, Adrianne Palicki, Byung-hun Lee, and Channing Tatum
