G.I. Joe: Retaliation (2013)

Overrated

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

This movie is so crappish...Please do not waste any of your time with this garbage...There is absolutely no story...no story at all... Too many discrepancies with dialog, scenario and action.. Uff it is just awful to watch such shitty movie... First movie was a real GI-Joe movie despite the fact that it got poor ranking at least it had some kind of integrity in between its dynamics and a lot of entertainment meanwhile... Story was much better and directed much better also.. This follow-up is just unbearable to watch, Bruce Willis, sir sorry to say that but even you cannot save this movie from oblivion....1/10

This is the most disappointing sequel of the GI Joe series. The first film was fantastic. Lots of high-tech gadgets, uniquely diversified combat scene, and full blown action cuts. After all, the initial GI Joe film was popular due to those traits.But somehow someone in the studio made some stupid decision to eliminate all of those traits. And removed every favorable characters with "The Rock". I wonder what were they thinking when they made that decision.The desert scene, where the Joes are annihilated, are an example of the terrible decision. Where are all of those cool techs that the Joes used in the first movie? They would have survived it if the techs are there. But unfortunately, the story maker had too much alcohol and forgot about that part.In short, it's a major disappointment for all GI Joe fans.

I was looking forward for this movie since I watched the first one and when I heard that the sequel has got less ratings from its prequel I was shocked!!! But when I watched this movie I found it real good and it had given me the excitement I was hoping for.... I liked it "the rock" was good at his role and the other supporting actors were also good but I liked "Bruce Willis" he was awesome.The acting was good and the technologies and the action shown in this movie were awesome. The special effects were also good and to be appreciated. the direction as also good the production budget was reportedly 125 million dollar and they used it very well....overall the film was forgettable but good due to its action and special effects.HAIL Hollywood!!!

G.I. JOE: RISE OF THE COBRA was a brain-dead Hollywood reworking of the Hasbro toy line in which a group of mentally-challenged thugs (I mean heroes) led by Channing Tatum waged war on various international villains in order to prevent worldly disaster. This sequel offers up more of the same, although thankfully Tatum doesn't appear much on screen and has been supplanted by the better Bruce Willis for much of the running time.I'd have a hard time describing the events of this film, other than to say that the squad are out on a mission of revenge after a number of their own are killed in a surprise attack. The baddies have plans for world dominance thanks to some super technology, and much of it boils down to the exceptionally creepy Jonathan Pryce masquerading as the US President (except he's really Arnold Vosloo...watch the film and you'll see).The plot is complete nonsense of course, and merely an excuse for one big budgeted, zero imagination action sequence after another. This effects-heavy movie tries to be a thrill-ride along the lines of RED or the FAST AND THE FURIOUS franchise but it just feels uninteresting for the most part. There are only so many scenes you can watch of random ninjas fighting and stuff blowing up. It's hardly a workout for the cast, either; Willis and Dwayne Johnson are on autopilot, Lee Byung-Hun has little to work with, Ray Stevenson is a stock villain, and the less said about RZA the better.
