Boy, the new GI Joe movie comes out today and it sure looks good! Since 1964, suburban back yards, bedroom floors and game rooms have been used as far-flung battlefields for millions of children, thanks to G.I. Joe action figures.
What began as homage to the American military blossomed into a decades-strong industry that has spawned animated television shows, comic books, video games, hundreds of G.I. Joe figures and accessories. And now there's G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, which opens today – the franchise's first excursion into live-action cinema.
The Stephen Sommers-directed Rise of Cobra, which stars Dennis Quaid, Channing Tatum, Sienna Miller and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, is merely the latest incarnation of this surprisingly durable toy. It's also Hollywood's newest attempt at cashing in on 20- and 30-something childhood nostalgia. Go to our Video Page to see the Trailer!
