G.I Joe: Retaliation - Mindless action-packed fun for the family
1 April 2013
Warning: Spoilers
Let me start off by saying I really enjoyed the movie for what it was. I went in the theater not expecting much even though the trailers showed a lot of fun action sequences. Now did the movie blow me away and should be nominated for best picture? No, but it's because it isn't trying to be that type of movie, it's simply mindless and fun entertainment.

I also want to say that I really enjoyed the 3D in this movie, I thought it worked and added a lot more fun to the film. The depth was really nice because it added to the cinematography of the film.

Now for you that like movies for the "dialogue and writing" part of films, I can understand why you wouldn't like this movie as much. The conferences are not very realistic, some of the acting was really cheesy (especially by RZA haha), etc. I also feel that there were a lot of problems at the end. I mean the president look-alike just pretty much blew up England and afterwards no one thought it was sketchy; life pretty much went on. They didn't bother explaining to the "people" how the president was a fake or anything... Also they didn't bother adding in what was going to happen to England, they just kept on rolling on with the movie with the award-handing scene.

So yeah it did have its problems, but if you're looking for a good time, I'd say watch it and just have fun with it and don't take it too seriously.
