Vids: G.I. Joe: Retaliation Review

When we last saw the G.I. Joe team they had scored a major victory over the evil organization called Cobra. Cobra’s Arctic base was destroyed, their plan to use nanomites GI_Joe__Retaliation_27as weapon was thwarted and Cobra Commander and Destro were behind bars. Good had triumphed over evil as it should. But there was a major loose end that the Joes knew nothing about; Zartan (Arnold Vosloo) had assumed the identity of the President of the United States.

Now the G.I. Joes have returned to the big screen with G.I. Joe: Retaliation. This sequel brings back only 2 of the original Joes from the first movie, Duke played by Channing Tatum and Snake Eyes played by Ray Parks. We are introduced to some of the new Joes including Roadblock (Dwayne Johnson), Flint (D.J. Cotrona) and Lady Jaye (Adrianne Palicki).
