G.I. Joe: Retaliation (2013)

if you have no idea what G.I. Joe is, don't even think about it

[7/10 · 6 April 2013]

I saw the movie with couple of friends who didn't know the G.I. Joe concept and they hated the movie. From my point of view, it was kind of OK (and I saw all the movies and the cartoon). The acting is fine. Especially Dwayne Johnson was quite good. Directing is not that great. Story telling is weak. Special effects are good. If more time was spent for character development, the movie would be more understandable for people that are not familiar with G.I. Joe. In the end, the action was pretty good but there were so many characters without any background. Moral of the story, if you just want to see an action movie but you have no idea what G.I. Joe is, don't even think about watching it. Otherwise, you can give it a try.
