If this trailer is any indication, “G.I. Joe: Retaliation” looks to be moving somewhat away for its cartoonish predecessor, and becoming the “Blackhawk Down” of toy-based action movies.

If that makes any sense.

That last scene on the cliff face, with Snake Eyes and the red-dressed Cobra ninjas (speaking of which, why would a ninja, who’s whole thing is supposed to be stealth, dress in red?) looks cool, but doesn’t make sense because I would spend less time trying to slice and dice the numerous ninjas trying to kill me than to cut the ropes that are holding up the numerous ninjas that are trying to kill me.
