Pretty Good
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.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
So bad... needs to go to Rocket of Love... beyond cheesy.
G.I. Joe: Retaliation (2013) is very underrated part sequel & reboot to the semi-spectacular G.I. Joe - The Rise of Cobra. I seriously don't get the hate for this action packed flick. I have enjoyed this movie more than I did The Rise of Cobra. First off new actors were cast in here, new director and Duke (Channing Tatum) is killed off, which I am happy about it. The movie is good and is not bad, it does have action and it does have a story. I love the new actors in here like are: Dwayne Johnson, Bruce Willis, Adrianne Palicki, Byung-hun Lee, Ray Park. Seriously after reading the reviews this movie get's so much hate. I love this movie and it is way better than the first one was, it might does have a few plot holes, but which movies doesn't? Count me one movie, that does not have any plot holes or errors in it? Because everyone makes a mistake gosh. Some of the other more regular Joe's make their debut's such as Lady Jayne, Flint and Roadblock. Having Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as Roadblock adds the extra muscle that lacked in the first Joe movie. The action is more realistic and grounded rather then slow-mo 360% moves that 'Rise of Cobra' featured. The addition of Bruce Willis plays more for cheap laughs but is fine for the scenes he is in. The plot unfolds and anyone who grew up with the cartoon pretty much knows the outcome. The action scenes were a blast. 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? No! But still a decent, fun worthy sequel to look.The movie explained that Storm Shadow was framed and than he teamed with snake eyes that was awesome. Snake Eyes had much more to do in The Rise of Cobra here Storm shadow had more to do! Bruce Willis as baldy General Joe Colton did a wonderful job at acting. I seriously think he did a good job portraying his character. I wish they would made a sequel but they want. G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra wasn't the most faithful of old 80's animated adaptations and it was a bit over the top with to many slow-mo camera shots and less then stellar characterizations of the Joe's famed characters. 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. Bottom line it does play better then the first one, but this "extended action cut" feels dragged out rather than the tightly edited theatrical. Nonetheless it's a decent effort for a property that will die a slow death unless the proposed 3rd film goes for the gusto. Unlike Stephen Sommers, new director Jon M. Chu actually knows a thing or two about G.I. Joe and tries very hard to course-correct the franchise. He keeps the characters reasonably true to their comic book origins and loads the movie with familiar Iconography that fans will appreciate. Chu takes 'Retaliation' seriously as a G.I. Joe movie, and as an action movie in general. While the film will never be mistaken as deep or intellectual, most of the egregious stupidity that plagued 'Rise of Cobra' has been pared back here. The story is fair but the plotting is insignificant when it comes to the non-stop action set-pieces. The action scenes here, unlike the last movie, are more grounded, very well-choreographed and expertly-filmed without becoming incoherent and chaotic. While half of the action scenes come off as stylishly basic. There were some moments in the action that looked inventive, even inspired like a unique camera maneuver around Roadblock's tank in the finale for example. I don't hate CGI, but the near absent of phony CG makes the action look awesome. The best scene is an extended epic ninja battle on the Himalayan mountainsides, without any dialogue (which is a perfect decision from Chu and the writers). The casting this time around is good with some eye-rolling exceptions. overall I am giving this movie 9 out of 10, I would give it a 10, but thing is it always confused me how Storm Shadow was alive in here while he was killed off from Snake Eyes by the end of the movie in The Rise of the Cobra? first movie. I did enjoy this film as mindless entertainment: I laughed at some of the lines, I like some of the actors, The mountain scene alone made the film for me. Its not perfect but I can see it again with a commentary. There is nothing wrong with just some good old mindless fun that's how the cartoon was. Yo Joe!G.I.

GI Joe: Retaliation is more commendable than most think.Its pace is perfect, just like its prequel; you can't go wrong with both The Rock and awesome Ninjas being in back-to-back scenes, all the action is fun and not overcut, the CGI is great, when you look closely, and the dialogue between the Cobra characters isn't all that villain-clichéd and boring. Everyone (except for perhaps Catrona) has fine acting, that shouldn't bore, and an addition of Bruce Willis into the cast was clever, even though he doesn't play a Frank Moses or Joe McClane. The high point of the cinematic aspect of the movie, the dojo-and-cliffside fights between the ninjas, is particularly well done and, when seeing it for the first time, thrilling.The only major flaw of the movie is its escape from the other prime GI Joe characters: Ripcord and Duke's wife are not hinted at all, nor is General Hawke (Dennis Quaid), which would make complete sense if he was given that in this film the Joe's are being "disavowed" so to speak, or undone. The fact that Tatum's character dies within the first 15 minutes of the film is not a flaw of the movie; it provides a realistic and not cheap push for the three survivor protagonists - That he appears as the main figure on of the movie's promo posters, however, is misleading.
