To 3D Or Not To 3D: Buy The Right G.I. Joe: Retaliation TicketYour G.I. Joe Saturday morning cartoons were never in 3D, and neither were the comic books. So why does a movie based on them have to be?

5 Hilarious And Stupid G.I. Joe Products That People Actually BoughtDon’t think of the following article as a big middle finger toward GI Joe. Think of it more as a stream of good-natured insults, much like the ones you would give a buddy if you found out he secretly slept with a truly unfortunate woman. I like the idea behind turning Snake Eyes and Chuckles into money-making machines, but for the love of Cobra, I just can’t figure out why they thought anyone would ever buy these specific offerings...by Mack Rawden | published: 2013-03-26 12:02:08comments

G.I. Joe Retaliation Was Delayed Due To Spider-Man And Channing TatumBut the other reason for the move is Mr. Channing Tatum. Watching the trailers for G.I.

G.I. Joe: Retaliation Pushed Back To March 2013, Will Be Converted Into 3DAfter Paramount decided to bring on Jon Chu to direct G.I. Joe: Retaliation, it was a bit strange that they announced the movie would be in 2D. After all, Chu is best known for having directed both Step Up 3D and Never Say Never, the 3D Justin Bieber concert documentary. Still, we shrugged it off because we here at Cinema Blend always prefer 2D films. But now something very strange is happening....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2012-05-23 14:45:40comments
Final Poster For G.I. Joe: RetaliationThere are some days when I think that Photoshop should be banned from Hollywood.

G.I. Joe Super Bowl Spot Reveals Cobra CommanderI still have a hard time understanding how Stephen Sommers managed to screw up Cobra Commander so badly in the first G.I. Joe movie.
