C’est le More New G.I. Joe: Retaliation Footage
Sacr? mackerel! Topless Roboteer Jay D. alerted to me to this new French trailer for G.I. Joe 2, which is a lot like the first American trailer, but with a small but tasty portion of new scenes. I tell you, even these few new shots made more excited than anything I saw in the new Amazing Spider-Man trailer from this morning. Now, you can attribute that to a major character flaw on my part — you wouldn’t be the first or the last — but I have to think it’s partially because Retaliation is surpassing its original (admittedly awful) predecessor, while Amazing Spidey seems only to be staying the course. Either way, it’s sad that a single new angle of Cobra Commander in his mask can make blow my mind with awesomeness while every single shot of the Lizard just makes me shrug my shoulders.
