G. I. Joe Retaliation 2013


Spoiler Alert: Read at your own risk if you haven't seen the movie yet!


This movie is probably better than the first. It is the best action movie of 2013 so far.

Some of the things that I liked about the movie are

  • Death of Duke
  • Ninja fight scene ala Sky Commanders
  • The way the G.I. Joe and Cobra toys were portrayed in the movie
  • Firefly's portrayal
  • Storm Shadow's redemption
One disappointing thing for me in the movie was the lack of a babe like Sienna Miller. The actresses they hired to play Lady Jane and Jinx were "too manly". Granted, these are hardened soldiers, and they have to be tough.

Another thing I hated was the portrayal of Flint. They made the guy a parkour specialist. But Flint was a leader just like Duke, General Hawk, etc., but instead they make Roadblock the leader in this movie. The Rock plays a better Roadblock than they guy in the first movie though. But back to Flint, they should have used a different G. I. Joe character to play wing man. (Could have used Shipwreck, Lifeline, etc.) They probably wanted to play the love angle with Lady Jane, but like I said previously, no romantic relationship will blossom with that "man".

And as for Bruce Willis, you're either a fan or your not. And for someone retired and extremely dangerous, (RED), I thought he was an o.k. addition to the franchise. They can probably kill him if ever there was a third installment.

Watch the movie!!! Peace!!!
