G.I. Joe: Retaliation (Movie Review)

03.29.2013 | By |

G.I. Joe: Retaliation” the best action movie of 2013 so far? The year is still too young to give a credible opinion, but “Olympus has Fallen” might take that prize. It is rated R and it is hyper-violent. We also have to wait for “Iron Man 3,” “Man of Steel” and “Pacific Rim” to make a final decision. Nevertheless, G.I. JOE 2 is a Red Bull overdose as soon as you walk into the theater. In regards to its entertainment value, it is going to be a ridiculous hit. All the violence, one-line bad jokes, and 3D action your brain can handle are all present – and I must admit it is fun! Read More
