With the release date pushed back a most a year, anticipation for G.I. Joe: Retaliation is high. The film, pushed back due to 3D conversion, started its viral marketing campaign a while ago with the Cobra Special Forces. Now, they have revamped the marketing with a new commercial and posters via Yahoo, as well as new billboards in California via General Joes. Check them out below.

G.I. Joe Retaliation stars D.J. Cotrona, Byung-hun Lee, Ray Park, Adrianne Palicki, Jonathan Pryce, RZA, Ray Stevenson, Channing Tatum, Bruce Willis, Dwayne Johnson, and will be released on March 29, 2012.

i really hope it's good. the first one had potential but didn't deliver like expected. i enjoyed it but i hope this one is better. i just wanna see snake eyes kick butt.

LMAO at the haters, you guys are sad!

COBRA isn't an insurance company. It stands for the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act, which basically allows people to continue drawing from their employer's insurance after they lose their job. (For a fee.)

Anyway, Cobra Commander (and pretty much everything else) looks a thousand percent better, but I withhold any excitement until we get some evidence that the script isn't as rock-stupid as the last one.

In 4-D you can actually smell what the Rockblock is cookin.

I'm excited for this movie. 1. There is no Channing Tattum!!!! 2. The director seems very stoked about making this movie. 3. They took their time to make sure it was good

RexDarkEskimoSpy I back u on what Cobra is for insurance. I had to use that when I got to old and got kicked off my parents insurance but still needed my meds.

TheAbomination - 2/4/2013, 9:34 PM

Couldn't be as bad as the first one. I'm in.

Does Cobra have chocolate chip cookies? What about dental coverage and vacation days?

These are the important questions. :P
