What to Know

Critics Consensus

Though arguably superior to its predecessor, G.I. Joe: Retaliation is overwhelmed by its nonstop action and too nonsensical and vapid to leave a lasting impression.

Wesley Morris Grantland Did you think a second G.I. Joe movie was a good idea? Jan 3, 2014 Full Review Louis Black Austin Chronicle As to be expected, Johnson actually imbues his character with some humanity, but in the cacophony that is this movie, this doesn't really amount to much. Rated: 1.5/5 Apr 5, 2013 Full Review Leonard Maltin leonardmaltin.com There's a decent attempt to humanize the characters and make them more than mere fighting machines...but there are also potholes in the logic of the screenplay, by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick. Apr 2, 2013 Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson The plot is still a preposterous and contrived mess of implausibility, but, remember, you were supposed to turn your brain off. Rated: 2/5 Oct 14, 2024 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy The film ricochets between interesting characters and idiotic ones, between clever plot developments and ludicrous ones, between smart dialogue and -- wait, scratch that; there is no smart dialogue, just marble-mouthed monologues and limp quips. Rated: 2/4 Apr 27, 2023 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review If I’m going to be watching a cartoon, I prefer it to be animated. Rated: 1/4 Aug 30, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Daniel S This is the most horrendous movie ever made if I can give it a -27 out of 10 I would but I can’t if Satan made a movie he would make this movie you guys have no idea how passionately I hate this movie, horrendous characters, horrendous, plot, and horrendous script This movie gave me diarrhea, AIDS and chlamydia and Dwayne the wrong Johnson does what he does best ruining movies. I cannot recommend this to anyone but a Satanist. thank you, Jon m ciao for creating the most boring and horrendous movie ever created Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/08/25 Full Review Stephen C I believe that a second movie was worth it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated PG-13 for Intense Sequences of Combat Violence, Brief Sensuality, Language and Martial Arts Action!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The USA grossed over $122,500,000.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/21/25 Full Review thiago s Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é bacana, mas ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/04/25 Full Review Michael D L Better then the original Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/20/25 Full Review Jedi D As a fan of G.I. Joe, it's crazy how much better this movie is over the first. Great Cobra plot foiled by some of my favourite Joe's! Yo Joe! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/25 Full Review Georgan G Despite a good cast, the movie is uninteresting & way too long. Couple of good special effects & jokes, but otherwise waste of time. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 12/26/24 Full Review Read all reviews
