New TV Spot and International Trailer for 'GI Joe: Retaliation'

Posted byBy R Scott Belzer | Published on: | Updated on June 29, 2013 CommentsComments (0)

GI Joe: Retaliation has released so many trailers and teasers that a comprehensive viewing of the film could in all likelihood be established on promotional material alone. Following suit, both a TV Spot and International trailer have been released via Empire Online.

The TV spot for GI Joe: Retaliation is comprised of everything you could possibly imagine from an action film based on a comic. It has a guy riding a motor cycle that eventually turns into missiles. It has a guy cutting a bullet in half. It has Bruce Willis looking at Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in such a way that the film could pass as a buddy cop movie (isn’t it, though?). Check it out below.

But that’s not all, folks. GI Joe: Retaliation has also released a new international trailer. Its content is comparable to the TV spot but on a much grander scale. Here, for instance, we see what London would look like if hit by a nuclear weapon. We see a guy shooting ninja stars to pieces with bullets. And we see Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Bruce Willis hand out one-liners like they’re candy. Of course, more plot details are also released.

GI Joe: Retaliation finds America’s favorite special forces battling Cobra once again. This time, the Cobra has the one-up on our heroes in somehow finding a way to impersonate the President of the United States after slaughtering almost everyone in the unit. The film reunites Channing Tatum and Byung-Hun Lee with Ray Park while also introducing the iconic Bruce Willis and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

In other words, you should know perfectly well what you’re getting into with a film like GI Joe: Retaliation – ninjas, explosions, car chase, motorcycle chases and guns! Lots of guns! Almost too many guns! In any case, be on the lookout for Retaliation at the end of March (the 28th to be specific) when it hits theaters. Until then, enjoy the new international trailer below.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
