In the continuing adventures of the G.I. Joe team, Duke (Channing Tatum), second-in-command Roadblock (Dwayne Johnson), and the rest of the Joes (D.J. Cotrona, Lee Byung-hun) face a two-fold threat. Not only is their mortal enemy COBRA rearing its ugly head again, but there is also a threat from within the U.S. government: There might be an impostor in the White House. Meanwhile, Snake Eyes (Ray Park) is on a search for inner peace but learns that his nemesis, Storm Shadow, is still alive.

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.

Did you think a second G.I. Joe movie was a good idea?

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

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.

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

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

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.

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!

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
