Given how absolutely horrible the first GI Joe movie was, I am surprised that I’m as excited as I am about the sequel. There’s a chance that it might just be the biggest qualitative turn around ever to happen from a first to second film in a franchise. Hell, if they pull it off, I might start holding out hope that they can do another Last Airbender movie that can wipe the poop stain that is M. Night Shamalyan’s first film off the face of the earth.
Anyways, we’ve got three cool new pics for you from ‘GI Joe Retaliation’ featuring Dwayne Johnson, Ray Park and Adrianne Palicki… along with some monster tank that Stormshadow will be rocking in the film.
