G.I. Joe: Retaliation Meets The Artist in This Trailer

The trailer for G.I. Joe: Retaliation doesn’t exactly fill me with joy, but I suppose a G.I. Joe movie is better than no G.I. Joe movie. To make the world a better place to live in, if only for three minutes, YouTube user Kidd Jahmann recut the trailer to make it look like Retaliation is more like The Artist than the first G.I. Joe movie. It probably won’t help the final product any, but at least it makes the trailer watchable.

Don’t make the same mistake I did. When my editor first sent me this link I didn’t know what it was and thought the sound was off, so I turned it way up and when the music start my head nearly exploded. Check your volume now, and then enjoy:

The highlight of this version is the addition of “Based on a True Story.”
