Review of G.I. Joe: Retaliation (2013) by Ducknation — 24 May 2014
G.I. Joe: Retaliation is the sequel to the 2008 film G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra I thought that this film should have just been a reboot rather then a sequel. The Film stars Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson getting his team together to help fight against the cobra. The cobra have taken control of the white house the president that's really not the president has ordered that the G.I. Joe's to be killed.
The story slows down like half way in to build some story but it just seems all over the place. Roadblock is over here doing this Snake Eyes is over here doing **** with Storm Shadow which I thought they killed off in the first film yes it's been years since I watched the first one I can't really remember.
The movie was postponed like 9 months for what they said was 3D conversion and to re-shoot some scenes of it after early reviews for it were bad. Also to add Channing Tatum back in the movie as a main character and market the film that way only to have him be killed off rather soon in the film. They do try force some of the story arcs in the film but then they put a lot of explosions in it to throw you off.
Also im not sure why Bruce Willis was even in this I assume they just wanted some big name action star to kick some ass as General Joe Colton not that he didn't do a great job but I mean come on it was rather pointless Overall I give it a 5.5 maybe ill re-watch a couple times.
