‘G.I. Joe’ Super Bowl Commercial

Published by Jeff Leins on: January 31st, 2009

Paramount Pictures has already released its 30-second Super Bowl spot for G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra.  Check out the high-definition trailer at ComingSoon.net.

Stephen Sommers (The Mummy, Van Helsing) directed the movie starring Dennis Quaid (General Hawk), Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Cobra Commander), Channing Tatum (Duke), Sienna Miller (Baronness), and Marlon Wayans (Ripcord).

The trailer isn’t half as bad as I thought it was going to be.  Plenty of explosions and special effects with some cheesy voice over.  Nothing we haven’t seen in a Transformers spot.  I doubt it will win anyone over that thinks this looks lame, but it will get a lot of “What?  Really?  A G.I. Joe movie?” comments during the game tomorrow, which is mostly what they’re shooting for with the commercial.

Tell me what you think below.

G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra will be out August 7, 2009.

Also, a slew of official character sheets were released on Hisstank.com.
