Just days after we (the entire journalistic force of the web) questioned whether or not Stephen Sommers had been replaced by a class of 3rd graders in the director’s chair for G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, and mere hours after we saw the first 10-second glimpse of the movie (that was, as we’ve admitted, impressive), our friends at Coming Soon come knocking with the full 30-second Superbowl teaser. And all signs are currently pointing toward: “Hey wait, this looks kinda fun.”

In the clip below you will see a little bit of over-the-top action (which ain’t bad), some decidely campy but fitting dialog and a hint of a badass ninja sword fight between Snake Eyes (Ray Park) and Storm Shadow (Byung-hun Lee). So alright Mr. Sommers, you now have our attention. Your task now becomes delivering a 90-minute plus film that is just as badass as this 30-second TV spot. Go…

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra hits theaters on August 7, 2009. Directed by Stephen Sommers, it  stars Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Christopher Eccleston, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Byung Hun Lee, Sienna Miller, Rachel Nichols, Ray Park, Said Taghmaoui, Channing Tatum, Marlon Wayans and Dennis Quaid. I would highly recommend you head on over to Coming Soon to see the spot in super-sexy high definition.
