Cobra commander gi joe movie6/17/2023 ![]() Joes for murdering the Pakistani President, while Cobra Commander escapes from his imprisonment. An elaborate plan is put into motion, which frames the G.I. Joes know (and knowing really is half the battle), the dastardly member of Cobra, Zartan (Arnold Vosloo), is still impersonating the President of the United States (Jonathan Pryce). He is backed by a few new players, including Dwayne Johnson as Roadblock, Adrianne Palicki as Lady Jaye, and D.J. Channing Tatum returns as Duke, who now leads Joes into various missions. Joe: Retaliation picks up a couple years after the first film. Roadblock: Let’s move! The world ain’t saving itself! Joe fan (I had Star Wars toys), but this still fits as the kind of movie I would want to see made from this franchise. Retaliation may be a sequel that really wants to disassociate itself from the first movie, despite continuing on with where the first film’s story left off, but despite being ‘more serious’, it still has a lot of inherent goofiness and ridiculous, but enjoyable action sequences. ![]() The results are good enough, even if the film is more of an equal, as opposed to a greater piece of work than the former. While I may disagree, the idea for this sequel seems to have been to make it a lot more earnest, while still maintaining a level of fun. The consensus seems to be that it was too campy for its own good. While that film was a financial success and has its fans, it did not quite set the world on fire in the same way that Transformers, the other Hasbro toy-based movie franchise did.
