Review of G.I. Joe: Retaliation (2013) by Ilightning — 03 Apr 2013
The action in GI Joe Retaliation is fantastically over-the-top in all the right ways, but amongst all the carnage the movie rarely finds the time to include anything else other than sword-fighting and gunplay.
While some characters are basically ignored to the point that they don't even get an introduction, others are very promising and go through various experiences that would have been interesting to watch if the film had actually slowed down to explain and develop these twists properly.
Several captivating scenes of awesomeness prevent the movie from becoming dull and monotonous, but more could have been done to raise it from mere bullet-fest to something a little more special.
