Sure, it was overblown, cliche-ridden and deliriously dumb but I can’t be the only person with a soft spot for G.I. JOE: THE RISE OF COBRA, surely?

If you don’t count yourself among them, then these newly released trailers are unlikely to sway you – especially as the new team, headed by (bizarrely) JUSTIN BIEBER: NEVER SAY NEVER director Jon M. Chu, seem to be gleefully ramping up the silly! Enjoy…
