Plot synopsis:
DMZ, North Korea: Duke (Channing Tatum), Roadblock (Dwayne Johnson), and Flint (DJ Cotrona) are breaking through a security fence, in full view of a North Korean occupied guard tower. Lady Jaye (Adrianne Palicki) is keeping an eye out and Mouse (Joseph Mazzello) is serving as a standby sniper. Roadblock uses some supercharged gloves that get so hot they melt the woven wire fence so the men can get through. On signal, Mouse shoots a coffee mug from the hand of one of the guards to create a diversion and the three scamper on to their destinations. Roadblock and Duke go to where some buildings and vehicles are and they capture/rescue a man from the back of a truck. Meanwhile, Flint has gone directly onto the guard tower and replaced the N. Korean flag with that of the G.I. Joe's.There's a brief narration explaining how the Joes caught Cobra Commander (Luke Bracey) and Destro (in the previous film), and they are now locked in a maximum security prison. Storm Shadow (Byung-hun Lee) and Zartan (Arnold Vosloo) are still at large. Duke is the captain, charged with leading Roadblock, Flint, Jaye, and the masked mute Snake Eyes (Ray Park). (Note: no mention is made of the Baroness whom is presumed to be still incarcerated).After completing their mission in Korea, Duke and Roadblock are playing video games at the Roadblock's home. Duke gets jumped on playfully by Roadblock's two young daughters, distracting him from the game as he must stop to wrestle with them.Duke and Roadblock pause briefly to watch a news story on television about the Pakistani president having been assassinated.Zartan (Arnold Vosloo), who is impersonating the President of the United States (Jonathan Pryce), meets with his advisors and asks for opinions about what the U.S. should do about the situation in Pakistan. A pentagon general recommends going in. A civilian advisor recommends waiting it out. The Zartan president decides to send the G.I. Joes to Pakistan to capture and neutralize a nuclear device the government had developed so it can't be used by those who assassinated the Pakistani president.The Joes travel to Pakistan. They are lowered onto the roof of the building where the weapon is located. They fan out and within short order, locate the weapon on the ground floor and start shooting their way into and down the four levels of the structure. Within minutes, they have control of the building and the weapon and remove it from the country. Duke contacts the White House to confirm this.Zartan enters an underground facility where the Cobras are hiding the real President. Zartan taunts the President and shows off the nanomites that keep his disguise together, by taking a knife and drawing it across his face. The skin changes color but quickly heals itself. Zartan observes that the people of America prefer a President who looks like the real one, but acts like Zartan is acting, bold and aggressive, with a penchant for blowing things up.At their compound in the desert, Duke and Roadblock make a bet on who can shoot the flame of a candle in a cupcake perched on top of a stick. Duke goes first, but misses because Roadblock keeps talking and taunting him. Roadblock then pulls out a massive machine gun and blows apart the entire cupcake, claiming victory. Duke now has to baby sit Roadblocks two daughters for one night.Suddenly, the men notice a group attack helicopters approaching and they think maybe it's additional security. However, the helicopters start shooting at the Joes and dropping bombs. They destroy all the vehicles and kill numerous people. The team scrambles for protection while firing back. Duke jumps in to save Flint, but he is killed in an explosion. Roadblock, Flint, and Jaye hide in a deep water well and manage to escape detection.The next morning, as the trio struggle to climb out of the well, President Zartan addresses the nation regarding the attack. He accuses the Joes of attacking Pakistan and stealing a nuclear weapon. He also accuses Snake Eyes for the assassination of the Pakistani president. Zartan announces on television that the G.I. Joes have been eliminated as a result of all their misdeeds.Roadblock, Flint, and Jaye finally get out of the water well. As the only surviving Joes, they take off on foot across the desert, set on exacting revenge for their dead.At a maximum-security prison in Germany, Snake Eyes has been captured and is being taken in to join Cobra Commander and Destro in captivity. He is escorted by Warden James (Walton Goggins) to a room deep underground where he is placed in a tube filled with a liquid medium that paralyzes every part of the body but allows the heart and eyes to remain functioning. James says, "Welcome to hell" and then removes Snake Eye's mask, revealing that it is really Storm Shadow and not Snake Eyes.A Cobra mercenary known as Firefly (Ray Stevenson) comes roaring up to the facility and sets out little explosive fireflies to break into the place. As this is happening, Storm Shadow makes his heart stop to alert the guards after he's been placed in the chamber. He manages to break out and kill most of the guards. He breaks Cobra Commander from his chamber, but they leave Destro, saying he is out of the band. They meet with Firefly, who comes in as James shoots a gas chamber, causing an explosion. James is killed by the Commander and the explosion's flames severely burn Storm Shadow's back.Cobra Commander directs that Storm Shadow be taken to a temple high in the Himalayas to recover from his injuries.In Tokyo, Japan, upon learning that Storm Shadow is alive, the Blind Master (RZA), leader of the Arashikage Clan, sends the real Snake Eyes (Ray Park) and his apprentice Jinx (Elodie Yung), Storm Shadow's cousin, to capture Storm Shadow and get him to reveal Cobra's plans, and also to answer for the murder of his uncle, the Hard Master.The villains go to an industrial complex where a large weapon known as Zeus is being constructed. President Zartan comes in and informs Cobra Commander about the three surviving Joes. Firefly says they'll be taken care of.Roadblock, Flint, and Jaye drop by Roadblock's old neighborhood. They take shelter in an old gym/arcade that he used to frequent.After President Zartan announces that Cobra will replace the Joes as America's main protective unit, Lady Jaye does some technical analysis of the known President's speech pattern and mannerisms with that of the suspected imposter, deducing that someone is impersonating the real president. Flint asks Roadblock who in government they can possibly trust now, and he responds there is one man he knows.Roadblock leads them to the home of General Joseph Colton (Bruce Willis), the original G.I. Joe. Roadblock explains the situation after showing Colton the dog tags of their fallen brothers. Together, they come up with a plan to prove that the President is a phony.Colton provides them with weapons, and helps them infiltrate a fundraising event that the President will be attending. Lady Jaye steals a sample of the President's DNA and confirms that he is Zartan. They escape after a brief confrontation with Firefly and Zandar (Matt Gerald), the head of the Presidential Detail and a member of Cobra.Jaye goes out pretending to be jogging home with her groceries and attracts the attention of a man on the President's detail. She tricks him into helping her out with her groceries, and Roadblock gets him to find them a way to the President.High in the Himalayas, Snake Eyes and Jinx have located the place where Storm Shadow is being treated. He has healed up by an old woman, and as he is getting dressed following removal of his bandages, he notices that several ninjas are falling past the window from great heights. As he rushes out to see what's going on, he comes across Snake Eyes in the passageway. They engage in a fight, while Jinx appears in the other room and fights the old woman. The old woman and Storm Shadow are subdued after some furious fighting. Snake Eyes and Jinx bundle Storm Shadow into a body bag and fasten the bag to a rope. Numerous ninjas appear and go after Snake Eyes and Jinx in an attempt to rescue Storm Shadow. After numerous battles along the sides of the mountains as they and the Ninjas slide on their ropes and rappel along the rocks, Snake Eyes and Jinx manage to escape. They return to Japan.Back in Tokyo, Storm Shadow is questioned by Blind Master, who hands him his sword. In this moment, it is revealed that, as a child, it was not Storm Shadow who killed his and Snake Eyes' master, but it was Zartan in disguise as a man who would mentor Storm Shadow into the assassin he became. Storm Shadow reveals that he joined Cobra to avenge his uncle. He gives them the information they want.Storm Shadow then accompanies Snake Eyes and Jinx as they join the Joes' efforts to stop Cobra.At the fundraiser that President Zartan is attending, Jaye goes in disguised as a member of the President's detail. She gets in with a sexy red dress and gets Zartan's attention. One of his men, another Cobra ally, is suspicious and starts to do a scan on Jaye's face. She gets out after getting a hair sample from Zartan's coat and sends it to Roadblock. After scanning the sample, they learn Zartan's identity, just as Firefly comes in and tries to attack. He fights Roadblock and almost kills him until Flint and Jaye come by and ram him with their truck. Firefly gets out in time.In the gym/arcade, Snake Eyes, Jinx, and Storm Shadow come across the Joes, who are initially suspicious, but they join forces. They go back to Colton's place and meet with some of Colton's men to come up with a plan to stop Cobra's plans. Colton shows them his HUGE collection of weapons all over the kitchen and they start preparing.Firefly is beating the President up in the underground chamber. Cobra Commander comes in with a briefcase that would activate the Zeus weapon and scans the President's eye in order to gain control of the weapon.Zartan invites the leaders of the world's nuclear powers to a summit at Fort Sumter, where he blackmails them into disabling their nuclear arsenals by first launching America's nukes into the air and then detonating them as they are high above the sky to show his commitment to disarmament. The other world leaders had also launched their missiles and then follow suit in destroying them. It's then that Zartan reveals that he has created Project Zeus: seven orbital kinetic bombardment weapons of mass destruction, that are at his command.They launch one rod at London, almost completely destroying it, and sending the other world leaders into a frenzy. He threatens to destroy the other capitals if the leaders don't submit to Cobra. By this point, Cobra has officially taken over the White House. Storm Shadow betrays Cobra Commander and kills Zartan, revealing Cobra's deception to the world leaders. While Snake Eyes, Jinx, and Flint fight Cobra's soldiers, Cobra Commander activates the remaining six weapons and instructs Firefly to protect the briefcase containing the launch device. Firefly is killed in combat by Roadblock, who deactivates and destroys the orbital weapons.Roadblock comes in on a fast attack tank shooting the other villains' tanks while Jaye and Colton go retrieve the President. After shooting their way through dozens of goons, the duo find the underground chamber as one Cobra ally holds the President at gunpoint. Jaye shoots the President in the arm to drop him out of the way and Colton then kills the goon.Flint goes in pursuit of Cobra Commander, but he escapes on a helicopter, just as his men are preparing for the other Zeus rods to hit other major cities around the world. Roadblock finds that Firefly is holding the briefcase. He nearly escapes on a motorboat, but Roadblock rams into it with another one. He and Firefly begin fighting again, but Roadblock manages to defeat him. At the very last second, he overrides the sequence and causes all the Zeus satellites to explode.Somewhere underground, after having escaped other ninjas, Storm Shadow finds Zartan pointing a gun at him. He tells Zartan he made him what he has become, and Zartan pulls the trigger, but Storm Shadow slices the bullet in half with his blade and throws it into Zartan's chest. As he dies, the nanomites wear off, and his real face is visible.Roadblock is walking away from the scene, but Firefly is about to set one of his firefly bombs on him. He reaches into his pocket for his detonator, but Roadblock is holding it. With the push of a button, the firefly explodes, and Firefly is killed. The Joes walk together triumphantly while Storm Shadow respectfully acknowledges Snake Eyes and walks away.The real President is put back into power and addresses the nation at a ceremony where Roadblock, Jaye, Flint, Jinx, and Snake Eyes are commemorated as heroes. Colton thanks each of them, but when he gets to Roadblock, he presents him with a M1911 pistol that belonged to General George S. Patton, to use when he finally finds Cobra Commander. Roadblock proudly raises the weapon and lets out a single shot in honor of his fallen comrades.

Review: This second G.I JOE film doesn't have much in terms of a well thought out plot but it does have some great visuals and is packed with loads of well staged action sequences so action movie buffs should have a blast.
For those also seeking more of a character story it's still best to look somewhere else.The acting is however surprisingly good given the film's plot.
Dwayne Johnson and Channing Tatum both bring a certain likability to their characters and I enjoyed watching them the most and of course Adrianne Palicki who was very friendly on the eyes.Overall, The film might not have much of a plot but the great visuals and the well made action sequences keep it from becoming a total bore.
There are many action sequences in this movie,but only a few stand out.The action sequence in the Himalayas is the highlight of the movie.This action sequence has been shot very nicely.The direction is mediocre.Performance: Dwayne Johnson is fine.Channing Tatum is strictly okay.Elodie Yung,Ray Park and Adrianne Palicki are just okay.Bruce Willis disappoints.All in all,G.I.Joe Retaliation is a strictly average action movie.I would recommend this flick for the teens but not for adults.I am giving it a four on ten..
One such picture - I'm sorry - movie, that audiences will endure a release of, either glorifyingly, or harshly, is G.I. Joe: Retaliation, the new brawn packed action farce from Paramount Pictures.Starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, and with appearances by Bruce Willis and Channing Tatum, the film offers no social commentary, consists of nothing remotely engaging (I tended to doze off on even the action scenes), and pities itself with egregious CGI 3-D effects that disappear mid-air depending on where one sits in the audience.
The film is supposed to be a sequel, or rather, a continuation of the original G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra, but even by todays standards, the filmmakers weren't trying to mark any new ground.
It's already seen some couple million smackers (across the face!) for it's previews and advance releases, but when it all comes down, G.I. Joe: Retaliation is one hunk of movie that holds a strong PR campaign in it's biceps, but can't think for itself, and never latches on to the timeless fact that the real strength of a movie lies in it's story and it's characters, both factors of the machine that are simultaneously weak..
Dwayne Johnson is the only good thing among them though, Bruce Willis is trying to make fun of himself again as a crazy grandaddy, and the villains ham it up which isn't suppose to be a bad thing but they can't give enough personality to them.The action scenes are acceptable enough to call awesome at least.
The fight between Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow remains to be the only action that excites and one part of the climax has a nutty scene with The Rock riding huge vehicles and shooting like a badass.
Ranging from The Rock to Willis this movie has very stylistic characters that ultimately kick ass with the Snake Eyes/Storm Shadow battles coming to mind.
I would recommend GI Joe: Retaliation to anyone from about the age of ten up, as long as you walk into the cinema or press play expecting to see a good action movie.
It wasn't particularly offensive to any particular group (although the film's depiction of Muslims in one scene and the fact that every Asian character in the movie is a Ninja will likely raise a few eyebrows) so much as it was to its audience.
¨Call me JOE¨As a kid I was a huge fan of the GI Joe cartoons and had a vast collection of the action figures, but I never thought it was a very good idea to bring the franchise to the big screen.
What really saved this film for me was a ten minute action scene in the mountains which was pretty amazing and made the entire movie worthwhile.
Despite all the cheesiness of the plot I still had some fun, and the producers knew that the premise couldn't be taken seriously so they just played around with it.The Joes continue to serve and protect the world under the leadership of Captain Duke (Channing Tatum) and his team which consists of Roadblock (Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock), Flint (D.J. Cotrona), and Jaye (Adrianne Palicki).
Will the Joes be able to stop the Cobra team before they destroy the entire world?Channing Tatum and The Rock shared some funny scenes together and had great chemistry, but I would have enjoyed more screen time with them.
Even those people that will end up hating this film will have to agree that the ten minute action scene between Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow was pretty entertaining.
Luckily they kept Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow, they are just as awesome as they were in the previous film, really enjoy the rival show of these two character.The story line is average, the plot is weird, doesn't have ups and downs, only a parallel line from beginning to the end.
There is no climax in G.I Joe: Retaliation, but if you say the movie is excited at all time, it would be hard to argue.There are not much advanced and cool weapon stuffs in this sequel, probably to fit the story, I'd say it is actually kinda boring compare to the previous G.I. Joe movie.
However, some of the scene is pretty entertained tho.Overall, with good actors and good special effect, G.I. Joe: Retaliation only needs a better screenplay to be a better movie..
Henry Jackman's music score is OK with some solid action cues, but most of the music is pretty obvious.Overall, GI Joe: Retaliation isn't an excellent, but like I said before, it's a much better installment to the franchise.
I was very upset when the movie was postponed from 2012 to 2013.Now after watching this i realize that the wait was worth it.Making this movie in 3D was the right choice and a perfect choice.The action scenes in the movie are simply awesome and pace of the movie is perfect as well.The rock as Roadblock has done a tremendous job in action and acting.Although the first movie was OK but this one is so good that it makes you feel that first one never existed.The weapons used in the movie were bad ass and innovative.Bruce wills did an awesome job as usual.If your an action lover like me then you will love this movie to the core.GI Joe Retaliation is a great movie and it delivers you some great excitement.
Bruce Willis was another good addition to the cast and quite frankly, who doesn't love Bruce in these kind of films.Overall, G.I. Joe: Retaliation is bigger, badder, and better than the first film.
this movie had everything I loved about the original GIJOE and was way better than "The Rise of Cobra".Again, thumbs up on including Ninja action, can never get enough of that!
The strength of the film is not in its plot, if you want to enjoy the movie you will to have to overlook many things that seem a bit silly and exaggerated, if you can do that you'll have a silly but very entertaining film, his real strength is in his ridiculous action scenes which are visually beautiful and exciting.
The characters are well played and the movie itself is good if you consider it's is based on a cartoon made by a toy company, don't expect high drama scenes with strong plot lines and solid characters, it's just a fast paced action movie with very good performance actions scenes.The movie has a lot of action and that's why it's very funny to see it in a 4D theater, you can feel the movement, the bullet effect, the air and even the water that it's splashed on your face in some wet scenes, it's a 2 hours roller-coaster experience..
GI Joe retaliation is definitely a fun action movie to watch.
It's actually much smaller in scale (you don't get to see the Joes' secret lair this time out) and really just crunches down the set of characters SO far that most of the time you're just watching Dwayne Johnson, Adrianne Palicki & DJ Cotrona with some almost entirely-separate scenes with Ray Park (Snake Eyes) & Jinx (Elodie Yung).An example of this is how many scenes they try to show off how 'hot' Adrianne is.
I don't really care if there is a franchise behind this or if fan-boys are crying their eyes out for some character development or other but taken as an action movie G.I. Joe: Retaliation hits all the right buttons.
Think of the film RED with slightly younger people- and Bruce Willis and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson (yes I have to say it all): there are guns of all shapes and sizes, some incredible explosions, London is leveled (take that Dark Knight Rises, you nancy betch) and everything is so ridiculous it works.
and I liked how the main dude from the first movie died in the beginning, it upped the stakes!It's BETTER than the first one, all new cast, original story, and the crazy mountain fight was fecking ridiculousThe first one wasn't even bad.
Then there is the plot of Cobra and their campaign for world domination, Storm Shadow joining the Joes, recruiting help from Joe Colton, and the whole Zartan/President thing.The action scenes are hit and miss.
A sequel to 2009's G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' has Superb Action-Sequences & An Awesome Performance by the legendary Dwayne Johnson working on its advantage.
If Channing Tatum was the reason you loved 'GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra', we might as well give you the bad news that he dies very early in the film.
Even if the story is no more than a narrative frame to give continuity to the non- stop destruction, that is little excuse for just how predictable it all gets – though we probably should not have expected more just by looking at how plainly the movie's poster separates the good guys from the bad ones.
None of the other actors – especially not Johnson's teammates D.J. Cotrona and Adrianne Palicki – are much fun, and even the introduction of Bruce Willis late into the movie as the retired Joe founder doesn't bring much excitement except for a briefly amusing sequence that showcases his personal weapons arsenal in his very own home.All things considered, there are ultimately fewer bright sparks than dull sparks in this feeble attempt to inject more life into a franchise that was once meant to replace the 'Transformers' cash cow.
A Himalayan wire-ful action sequence and Dwayne Johnson do not a movie make, with little in this sequel justifying its ambition for having tried to be better than its predecessor.
For all the mega-money, easily-digestible blockbuster action franchises out there, none may better express the critical, "you-best-know-what-to-expect" cynicism of keen movie goers than GI Joe. Commencing with the underwhelming The Rise of Cobra in 2009, continuing with this year's incredibly unnecessary and lazily-titled Retaliation, and an ending that assures there is more to come, the franchise- and this sequel in particular- has become the reluctant stalwart of plot less filmmaking, soulless characters and a humourless script that argues first drafts are for amateurs.When Cobra Commander escapes from his maximum-security holding with plans of world domination, it's up to Duke (Channing Tatum), Roadblock (Dwayne Johnson), Lady Jaye (Adrianne Palicki) and the rest of the Joes to restore order.
When it is revealed that Cobra's plan includes employing master of disguise Zartan to pose as the President (Jonathan Pryce), the soldiers call upon the help of the original Joe himself (Bruce Willis) for a bit of old-school ass kicking.An all-star action cast- who actually do the best they can with the bare minimum on offer- can't mask this film's many flaws.
Great performance by Dwayne , Willis & Tatum also from Ray ( Snake Eyes ) and Byung-Hun Lee ( Storm Shadow ) fighting for the good side this time !.
then mission in Pakistan ...that was really interesting..because of action and future weapons they used...you'll really enjoy it...and then the sudden attack on G.I.JOE'S...and death of duke...and that time i realized...Oh god!this gonna be disaster...i actually threw my ticket away...but then black eye entered on the screen and story changed for life time...last 1 and half hour are just awesome...
the action on the mountain is the best action scene ever in this year.and storm shadow just rocked it.when you'll see snake eye and storm shadow fighting together against cobra..you'll gonna watch best scene from the movie...even lady jay did good job beside of her gorgeousness she really gave hell of action .
I also liked the scenes with Bruce Willis, even thought they were mostly comedy roles it's understandable given his age.Without giving anything away, the relationship between the two brothers in this movie is provides a unique and interesting side story to the already massive plot.My only complaints with this movie are lack of character development, and some of the acting being a little to cliché..
This time around they got action superstars 'The Rock' and Bruce Willis to headline the film and they only brought back five of the original cast members (Channing Tatum, Ray Park, Byung-hun Lee, Arnold Vosloo and Jonathan Pryce).
I had completely lost faith in Dwayne Johnson a few years ago (when he was only doing movies like 'TOOTH FAIRY' and 'THE GAME PLAN') but he's gotten back to doing some decent action films in recent years and here he's perfectly cast.
A lot of people hate Channing Tatum (because of his pretty boy good looks) and are happy to see him exit the film in the first 20 minutes but I kind of like him.
from where should i start , excellent 3D experience amazing equipment the G.I joe's have and great weapons cool sound mixing of the battles i liked the most SNAKE EYE'S wonderful job storytelling went OK one of the best visual effects i saw background was awesome for most of the scenes i don't know why most of the people have thought's that this movie was bad i think it is very great movie for people who like action sci fiction movies with great actors as stars in this film like: Bruce Willis,Dwayne Johnson,Byung-hun Lee, Channing Tatum, so take my advise go watch this movie in the cinema and you wont re grate it i loved it so much that i had to buy it on DVD again to watch because thank you for reading.
Departing from its original directed by Stephen Sommers and this time directed by Jon M Chu, G.I.Joe Retaliation proves action movies can be dumb and at the same time entertaining.
G.I. Joe: Retaliation (2013) ** (out of 4) Sequel to the 2009 film finds Cobra and his bad men taking over the body of the President of the United States as they pretty much plan to take away all the nuclear weapons in the world and use them as they will.
Overall, if you're looking for a fun night and a fun and entertaining film with awesome actors and visually great action sequences with a half-ass thin and predictable plot and low expectations, then see this.
Yes the movie is a bit better then the 1st : the interaction of the characters is ok but as Joe fan i miss the deph and a story of the real american hero elite comic from the 80's.
Just a remark: I was programming and had this film running in the background on TV when at the very end I suddenly noticed that "The Rock" took a pistol out of a box by grabbing it from its trigger.Come on!!!I do love (some) US action movies, but especially for stuff targeted towards kids (as in this case) I do expect the actors to feel at least a little bit responsible for what they do/show, meaning that they should at least take some firearms training before showing others how to deal with them..
Watched G.I. Joe : Retaliation Feauturing Dwayne"The Rock" Johnson(Fast Five) as Roadblock ,Ray Park(Supah Ninjas) as Snake Eyes, Adrianne Palicki(Red Dawn) as Lady Jaye, D.J. Cortona(Dear John) as Flint, Elodie Yung(The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo) as Jinx ,Channing Tatum(21 Jump Street) as Duke, Joseph Mazzello(The Social Network) as Mouse , Byung-Hun Lee(Masquerade ) as Storm Shadow, Ray Stevenson(Thor ) As Firefly ,Arnold Vosloo(Green Lantern: Emerald Knights) as Zartan ,Luke Bracey(Monte Carlo) & Robert Baker(Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of The Crystal Skull) as Cobra Commander , RZA(The Man With The Iron Fists) as Blindmaster , Jonathan Pryce(Dark Blood) as The President and Bruce Willis(Red) as Joe Colton.
The Rock and Bruce Willis were great...Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow were kick ass...Cobra Commander looked like he should, and was bad ass...Love how they just said screw Destro and left him there, that was awesome...And I thought the Firefly character was interesting too...And Lady Jaye was hot...So...yeah...overall a way better movie then Rise Of Cobra...Was it the greatest action movie of all time?
Now enter Retaliation in which The Rock pumps up the action and we get Bruce Willis tossed into the mix towards the end along with Tatum Channing in for the ladies and part 2 feels more like a generic military movie which is full of action, but the other elements of plot are dubious.
The dialogue still plays second fiddle to the action - half expected them all to shout "Yo Joe!" after the opening sequence, but it's not used in the film - and some scenes don't flow; like Roadblock and Duke playing video games.
G.I. Joe: Retaliation boasts factors like that are ALWAYS seen in a typical 21st century action film.
Overall I recommend this film to anyone who enjoys a good action movie, because overall it's good and not a waste of time..
