A sequel to G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, the 2009 toy line based G.I. Joe flick, G.I Joe: Retaliation ranks with last week’s Olympus Has Fallen among the worst films of the year (so far). To begin with, it’s almost impossible to figure out what the heck is going on. It doesn’t help that the film’s release was delayed by almost a year, ostensibly to allow for 3D conversion. Sorry to say, but the move was unwarranted.
Director Chu, whose previous credits include the two Step Up teen dance pictures, now targets viewers with a mental age of under-10. He shows scant interest in plot development or in establishing character relationships. Rather, he is determined to waste two hours of our time with firepower-heavy action.
A group of combat-hardened soldiers who sport such risible nicknames as Roadblock (Johnson) and Snake Eyes (Roy Park) must stop a megalomaniac bent on dominating the world.
