Review: 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation'

Honestly, after a 9-month delay, numerous re-shoots, an extensive conversion to 3D, with who knows how many sets of eyes looking at this thing, no one thought to state the obvious:

"Good lord, this is a piece of shit."

To say G.I. Joe: Retaliation is a bad film is an understatement.  It's an awful movie.

Horrible plot (if you even want to call it that), choppy editing, and - of course - absolutely atrocious acting sans Adrianne Palicki (hey, she knew exactly how to play the role).

I'd get into the story of the film but even that is probably a waste of time.  Let's just say one of the villains from the first movie (if you actually saw it) infiltrates the White House to disguise himself as the President of the United States.  From there, he sets up the G.I. Joes on a bogus mission to kill them off, with only three surviving (The Rock, Palicki, and some guy who somehow makes his living as an actor named D.J. Cotrona...seriously, this guy looked scared shitless every time he was on the screen).

So back to the plot (?), after the remaining G.I. Joes realize they were set up, the vow revenge against those who killed their team (Channing Tatum was smart to ask out of the movie after about 20 minutes).

Basically, the rest of the film follows the good guys taking down the bad guys with a 15-minute cameo by that sell-out known as Bruce Willis and an Asian and Black ninja (one who can't speak a word of English, the other who shouldn't be allowed to speak a word of English in a movie).

So yeah, the about sums up G.I. Joe: Retaliation; a beyond painful to watch film.  Though I will say the ending does make the promise of 3rd entry.

I take that as a threat.
