GI Joe: Retaliation is a clunky, dumb, confusing, and an eye sore of an action film. The President of the U.S (Jonathan Pryce) has been replaced by the master of disguise Zartan. He sends the GI Joes on a dangergous mission to only double cross them and have their orginaztion destroyed. Now Zartan can safely free the imprisoned Cobra Commander and continue their plans of world domination. Yet not all the Joes died. Roadblock (Dwayne Johnson), Flint (D.J Cotrona) and Lady Jaye (Adrianne Palicki) have survived and look to stop these villains while avenging their fallen brothers. There are several things here that make this film do dreadful. First the action is so fast and disorientating it leaves no impression, it feels all to generic. The plot is whisker thin and only serves as a reason for non constant action. Most of Snake Eyes story is so second tier that it might as well have been a different film. You can see for yourself, but why bother. If anything it felt like a waste of time.
