Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

adonis98-743-186503 The G.I. Joes are not only fighting their mortal enemy Cobra; they are forced to contend with threats from within the government that jeopardize their very existence. G.I. Joe: Retaliation has insane action, one liners and some awesome fight scenes man to man between The Rock and The Punisher, Snake Eyes is awesome in the scene within the Mountains and Bruce Willis was pretty great. Overall people with the right expectations will enjoy G.I. Joe 2 but fans of the cartoon will be left disappointed i believe. (A+)

tughan_a 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

FilmBuff1994 G.I. Joe: Retaliation is a brutal movie with a very poorly developed plot and a cast that seem to have no interest beyond getting their paycheck. It really had nothing that grabbed me in anyway beyond the charisma of Dwayne Johnson, who steals every scene as a result of being the only performer who seemed passionate about this project. Joining The Rock are the likes of Channing Tatum, Walton Goggins, Adrianne Palicki and Bruce Willis, all delivering some of their worse work. There really is nothing about this movie that worked out practically, the visual effects are completely ineffective, looking lazily rendered and thrown together. As well as that, the action sequences are completely uninspired, without anything unique or unexpected occurring throughout. In terms of plot, it did not have a high standard to follow after Rise of the Cobra, and yet it still managed to pass it out in terms of poor quality writing. Nothing happens in the story throughout that surprised me in any way, each plot point is predictable and the dialogue is simply cringe to listen to on several occasions. Unexceptional from start to finish. Partially saved by Dwayne Johnson's natural screen presence, but he deserved so much better than this, G.I. Joe: Retaliation should be avoided by everyone. An imposter posing as the US President tries to wipe out the GI Joe soldiers. Best Performance: Dwayne Johnson / Worst Performance: Bruce Willis

feyipuk It's got big explosions, big guns, and some sky high action scenes. It's basically a live action version of what kids would do with the action models if they could. Picking up from the last film, the bad guys are still in the same place and the Joes have had a shake up in the squad. 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. Sure, it introduces his kids, yet with all the macho action it seemed a bit of anti-climax. Likewise, the big destructive scene (a minute into the trailer) takes place in front of that countries leader, who doesn't get any screen time or reaction to such a monumental event! And throwing stars are small enough to hide anywhere, yet you can shoot them without hitting the person who threw them.Sadly, there's no Joseph Gordon-Levitt in it, but as you can't tell who Cobra Commander is, that's not a big loss.
