G.I. Joe: Retaliation - 特種部隊2:正面對決 - 義勇群英:毒蛇反擊戰 - 特种部队:全面反击
G.I. Joe: Retaliation (特種部隊2:正面對決/義勇群英:毒蛇反擊戰/特种部队:全面反击) is an 2013 film. The movie stars Dwayne Johnson, D.J. Cotrona, Byung-hun Lee, and Adrianne Palicki. The supporting cast include Bruce Willis, Jonathan Pryce, Elodie Yung, Ray Stevenson, Walton Goggins, and Channing Tatum. This film was originally set for release for the 2012 June summer session. But Tatum's rise in popularity force the studio to push the date back and add more scenes that included Tatum.
After the events of the first G.I. Joe movie, Zartan has assumed the identity of the president of the US of A. Cobra Commander and Destro are kept in a secret prison in Germany. The plan is to use the alias of the prez to gain the location of the the captured Cobra Commander. Once they do, they can release him and leverage the identity of the Prez to dominate the world. First, they need the Joes out of action because they are the only ones that can stop Cobra. The Joes are framed during a nuclear head mission. Deemed a enemy of the world, they go underground to stop Cobra. But before they do that, they enlist the help of the man for which the Joe name comes. Together, they try to reveal to the world that the president was fake and keep the nuclear weapons at bay.
This film serves a purpose. Big bad @$$ doods like The Rock and kick @$$ ninjas in Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow do their thing. They kick butt and take names later. Add to it the almost non-stop action, its a popcorn flick for the ages. Don't get caught up in the story, don't worry about the terrible acting, don't even think of how ridiculous the concept of Cobra is. Just enjoy that this movie was made to entertain, blow things up, and give you joy in action.
