This is going to be a quick one. I went to go see this out of boredom and boy is it an odd flick. The action is good, the 3-D is used mostly for depth (which is a good thing) with only a couple of "pop-out" moments. The acting is probably fine if you're just going in to this movie for the boom booms and the hoorah's.
Basically it's Dwayne Johnson, Channing Tatum, Bruce Willis, and from way the hell out of nowhere The RZA. None of the story line really makes sense. If I remember anything from the previous G.I. Joe movie (and I don't) there was a lot of emphasis placed on how Cobra Commander was a bad dude and his Cobra symbol was on terrorist flags and things. Why then does when (spoilers?) Cobra Commander come back does the entire world give one giant shrug when the Cobra symbols start popping up on the White House?
The plot is like Swiss cheese, but if what you're looking for is to see Adrianne Palicki in short shorts, then this is the movie for you! There is however one action sequence on the side of a mountain that looked incredibly stupid in the trailer. In the movie however, it the action sequence is well shot, but incredibly stupid.
2.5/5 for me, high marks for action sequences. The Director Jon M. Chu, does an OK job with the script that he was given. Fun fact, his previous movie was Justin Bieber: Never Say Never. That should tell you most of what you need to know.
