8-Bit Cinema G.I. Joe: Retaliation is Probably Better Than the Real Movie [Video]

G.I. Joe: Retaliation might have been better than the previous G.I. Joe movie, but that’s not saying much. Yeah, it made a lot of money and explosions and such, but we’re sure a whole bunch of you probably skipped it to save your theater-going allowance for all the amazing movies that have been premiering this summer. Just in case you were curious about what you missed, Cinefix has summarized the film pretty succinctly in this enjoyable 8-bit version. Seriously, I would play this game.

And yeah, we know, some of it’s 16-bit, graphically speaking. Listen, it’s not like GI Joe: Retaliation was the pinnacle of realism and authenticity, so it’s really not worth splitting hairs over. Just watch the little dudes shoot stuff.
