Ok, so, G.I. Joe Retaliation is a sequel from the 2009 film; very early in the movie we see Channing Tatum and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in action stealing back some nuclear weapons from an enemy base, not ten minutes later our heroes base is under attack completely killing every one with the exception of Roadblock, "The Rock" character, and his squad, meanwhile on Washington the President Of The United States who is in reality is a Cobra memeber in disguise declares the G.I. Joes responsible for the attack and stealing (again) the nuclear devices, so now is up to the remaining Joes to clear their names and prevent a nuclear war between countries.
The movie is as to be expected fill with action and is worth mentioning that it was delayed so the 3D could be implemented, which apparently was a good idea not only because on the original date of release it would have been on the same opening weekend with some major blockbuster titles but because in only one week G.I. Joe Retaliation has earned an estimated amount of $132 million worlwide, the studio behind the film is really happy and they are already preparing for a third movie also in 3D.
Anyway, the plot of the movie is nothing we havent seen before and can even be call a "Cliché", our heroe(s) are framed of doing something they havent so now they have to clear their names and save the world at the same time, guess how that ends, right? ; on the other hand people dont watch this kind of movies because they are expecting an amazing plot fill with twists, this is an action movie so lets focus on the action and special effects.
G.I. Joe Retaliation has some amazing fighting sequences very well made and fun to watch, of course they are so over the top is hard to believe something like that will actually happen in real life but again the sole purpose of this movie is to entertein, the 3D helps bringing the film to a new level of enterteinment and when it works it works well; the performances are really solid and you can feel chemistry between everyone except for D.J Cotrona who plays Flint, i couldnt help to notice that he is rather useless through out the whole movie, he doesnt add anything special to the mix-up and his character just fell through the cracks.
Another thing that bother me a little is RZA as the Blind Master, RZA is a music producer and rapper, who lately has been doing some acting, "The Man With The Iron Fists" is a clear example, nevertheless his performance is not believable, just no.
In conclusion G.I. Joe Retaliation is a great movie to see anyday of the week, fill with original fighting sequences and overall strong and fun performances, its not a movie to be taken seriously just enjoy it. I give this an 8/10
