Yeah, that sneak peek stuff didn’t satisfy you, did it? So it’s time to check out this full blown 30 second Super Bowl spot for G.I. JOE: THE RISE OF COBRA which hit the web via comingsoon.net, where you can see the hi-res version. Seems promising with all the visual and action and a nice shot of Sienna Miller as The Baroness in the beginning. This is so not the G.I. JOE we remember years ago when we were kids.

I hear you, Dex..
and the truth is.. the trend is now about basing it on our favorite TOYS and GAMES when we were kids.
I kid you not, they’re even making MONOPOLY movie.
and you’re right,.. most people will end up watching this movie just for the eye-candy FX stuff this movie has to offer.. which includes Snake Eyes flipping on cars.
