Here’s a G.I. Joe Movie We Can Get Behind

Here’s a G.I. Joe Movie We Can Get Behind

Even though critics will have to wait until this weekend to pluck down their hard-earned $12 to see G.I. Joe, a new(ish) trailer released on YouTube has got us feeling like 10-year-olds all over again. YouTube user Red Label Films has created a shot-by-shot remake of the widely derided trailer, incorporating the film's tie-in Hasbro action figures for a video that slyly addresses the whole "art versus commerce" debate in an ingenious matter. In fact, it's so entertaining that we don't even really mind that it's sort of a rip-off of an homage to the time when Vulture broke out our old box of Transformers toys for an afternoon romp. Enjoy!
