Love checking out that art…seeing that art makes me wonder if many of those are seeing retail release since they seem to be using package art? I’ll try not to get my hopes up too high upon seeing that Resolute Stalker in there… :shifty:
Thanks to Shin Densetsu of HissTank.com for the info.

Amongst the several people around the country who apparently saw an advance screening of G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA, Steve ‘Frosty’ Weintraub from renowned movie site, Collider.com got some time in a theater seat and shared his thoughts here.
According to Weintraub, this film is like a cartoon come to life, only with more action. How can you go wrong. In fact, you could almost say he raves about the film, with quotes like “The action scenes are really well done and there are a lot of them. While some expensive action films make it impossible to follow what’s going on, “G.I. Joe” is easy to follow. I never lost track of who was where or what they were doing. This is in stark contrast to a film like “Quantum of Solace” which was all over the place. That opening car chase looked like it was shot and edited by Stevie Wonder. By contrast, you always know what’s happening in “G.I. Joe””.
He goes on to say “The movie is cheesy but fun. Yeah, the dialogue is corny and everyone was either a good or a bad guy, but that’s the cartoon. Also, it never went for the really cheap joke or any bathroom humor. Sorry Bay, but you could learn from Stephen Sommers on this one.”
Awesome. Freaking awesome. This is exactly what I’ve been hoping to hear, and so far, the reviews are 4 for 4 what I’ve been expecting and hoping for all along. To read the full review, click here, or check out the “Full Story” link below. I’m really fired up over this early response!
