G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation's reviews
Media reviews
The Hollywood Reporter
So fetishistic about high-powered weapons that it qualifies as an NRA wet dream, 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' pretty accurately reflects the franchise's cartoon origins, which is both a good and a bad thing: good if you're a 12- to 15-year-old boy, bad if you're just about anyone else.
Entertainment Weekly
It's well-executed technocratic action fluff. But it did leave me buzzed rather than drained.
Variety
'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' might well have been titled 'G.I. Joe: Regurgitation', advertising big guns, visual effects and that other line of Hasbro toys with the same joyless, chew-everything-up-and-spit-it-out efficiency.
Empire
'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' over-promises and under-delivers. Chu?s direction is lifeless. He draws nothing from his cast and his action sequences are confused and flailing. But it?s the lack of joy that?s bizarre. The first film you could at least laugh at.
