From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
G.I. Joe: Retaliation (also known as
G.I. Joe 2 or
G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation) is a 2013 American
science fiction action film directed by
Jon M. Chu, based on
Hasbro's
G.I. Joe toy, comic and media franchises. It is a sequel to 2009's
G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra.
[6][7] The film was written by
Zombieland writers
Rhett Reese and
Paul Wernick.
G.I. Joe: Retaliation features an
ensemble cast, starring
Bruce Willis and
Dwayne Johnson, with
Channing Tatum,
Arnold Vosloo,
Ray Park,
Jonathan Pryce, and
Lee Byung-hun reprising their roles from the first film. The film was released in North America on March 28, 2013.
Plot
The G.I. Joes are framed for stealing nuclear warheads from
Pakistan by
Zartan (
Arnold Vosloo) who is impersonating the
President of the United States (
Jonathan Pryce). The entire team is eliminated in a military strike with
Duke (
Channing Tatum) as one of the casualties.
Roadblock (
Dwayne Johnson),
Flint (
D.J. Cotrona) and
Lady Jaye (
Adrianne Palicki) are the only survivors.
Meanwhile,
Storm Shadow (
Lee Byung-hun) and ex-Joe
Firefly (
Ray Stevenson) rescue
Cobra Commander (
Luke Bracey) from a penitentiary in
Germany. Storm Shadow is injured during the escape and retreats to a temple in the
Himalayas to recover. Upon learning that he is alive, the
Blind Master (
RZA), leader of the
Arashikage Clan, sends
Snake Eyes (
Ray Park) and his apprentice
Jinx (
Elodie Yung), Storm Shadow's cousin, to capture Storm Shadow so he can answer for the murder of his uncle, the Hard Master.
Roadblock, Flint, and Lady Jaye return to the
United States
where they set up a base of operations in a rundown gym. After Zartan
announces that Cobra will replace the Joes as America's main protective
unit, Lady Jaye deduces that someone is impersonating the President and
Roadblock leads them to
General Joseph Colton (
Bruce Willis)
who provides them with weapons and helps them infiltrate a fundraising
event that the President will be attending, where Lady Jaye steals a
sample of his DNA and confirms that he is Zartan. They escape after a
brief confrontation with Firefly and
Zandar (
Matt Gerald), the head of the Presidential Detail and a member of Cobra.
Snake Eyes and Jinx locate and capture Storm Shadow after a battle with
ninjas and take him back to
Japan
where Storm Shadow reveals that Zartan murdered the Hard Master and he
joined Cobra to avenge his uncle, embittered that the clan didn't
believe in his innocence. Storm Shadow then accompanies Snake Eyes and
Jinx as they join the Joes' efforts to stop Cobra.
Zartan invites the world leaders to a summit, where he blackmails
them into disabling their nuclear arsenals, and reveals that he has
created Project Zeus: Seven orbital
kinetic bombardment weapons of mass destruction at his command. He destroys central
London
to prove his superiority and threatens to destroy other capitals if the
countries don't submit to Cobra. However, Storm Shadow betrays Cobra
Commander and kills Zartan, revealing Cobra's deception to the world
leaders. While Snake Eyes, Jinx and Flint fight Cobra's soldiers, Cobra
Commander activates the remaining six weapons and instructs Firefly to
protect the launch device. Firefly is killed in combat with Roadblock,
who deactivates and destroys the orbital weapons.
Storm Shadow kills Zartan while Colton and Lady Jaye rescue the
President. However, Cobra Commander escapes during the battle and Storm
Shadow disappears after avenging his uncle. The President initiates a
manhunt on Cobra Commander, and reinstates the Joes with Roadblock
leading Flint, Lady Jaye, Snake Eyes and Jinx, and recruiting more
soldiers to join them. Roadblock swears to avenge Duke by capturing
Cobra Commander.
Cast
Production
Development
After the successful release of
The Rise of Cobra, Rob Moore, the studio vice chairman of
Paramount Pictures, stated in 2009 that a sequel would be developed. In January 2011, Rhett Reese and
Paul Wernick, the writers of
Zombieland, were hired to write the script for the sequel.
[8][9] The movie was originally thought to be titled
G.I. Joe: Cobra Strikes,
[10] which was later denied by Reese.
[11] Stephen Sommers was originally going to return as director of the sequel, but Paramount Pictures announced in February 2011 that
Jon Chu would direct the sequel.
[12][13] In July 2011, the sequel's name was revealed to be
G.I. Joe: Retaliation.
[14][15]
Casting
In January 2011, it was confirmed that
Byung-hun Lee would reprise his role as
Storm Shadow in the sequel.
[16][17] Channing Tatum and
Ray Park also returned, as
Duke and
Snake Eyes, respectively.
Rachel Nichols, the actress who played

[18] In March 2011,

[24][25] and
Ray Stevenson was confirmed to portray the villain
Firefly.
[26][27] Arnold Vosloo also confirmed that he would reprise his role of
Zartan,
[28] and
Joseph Mazzello was confirmed to play
Mouse.
[29] In August 2011,
Walton Goggins was added as Warden Nigel James,
[30] and it was confirmed that
Bruce Willis was cast to star in the film as the original G.I. Joe.
[31][32] Ray Park also revealed that Snake Eyes' pet wolf, Timber, would be appearing in the sequel.
[33]
In September, a casting call sheet leaked to the Internet revealed
that Cobra Commander would appear in the sequel, though it was unknown

[34] Chu said that fans would get a glimpse of
Destro in the film, but
Christopher Eccleston would not reprise his role in the sequel.
[35] On May 1, 2012, it was confirmed by Jon Chu that
G.I. Joe: Retaliation's Cobra Commander is Rex Lewis, the same character that
Joseph Gordon-Levitt played in

[37]
Filming

The incident happened while crew members were changing out a set.
[39]
Release
Previously slated for release on June 29, 2012,
[40][41]
Paramount announced in May 2012 that they were delaying the film's
release until March 29, 2013 (later moving to March 28, 2013), in order
to convert the movie to 3D and boost interest in international markets.
[42][43]
The delay "gobsmacked" the film industry, according to
Deadline.com,
because Paramount had already implemented a substantial advertising
campaign beginning with a Super Bowl commercial, because "warehouses
full of" toys were waiting for the film's launch, and because it was one
of only three Paramount-produced films scheduled for Summer 2012 (along
with
The Dictator and
Katy Perry: Part of Me). The studio also wanted to avoid competing with Tatum's
Magic Mike, also scheduled for June 29, Deadline reported.
[44]
Promotion
On December 12, 2011, the premiere trailer for the film was released on
YouTube exclusively from
Machinima.com. The trailer itself features a remix of
the White Stripes' song "
Seven Nation Army" by
The Glitch Mob.
[1] Following the release of the trailer,
Interview magazine featured
G.I. Joe: Retaliation in "Thursday video Face-Off" against the indie film
Alter Egos on January 12, 2012.
[45] A shorter teaser trailer for the film
aired during Super Bowl XLVI, containing music by
Jay-Z.
[46][47] A Japanese trailer focusing on actor
Byung-hun Lee was released in April 2012.
[48] The second full trailer made its debut on April 24, 2012,
[49] containing a
viral marketing initiative inviting viewers to interact with a website and Facebook application for the film.
[50][51] On December 13, 2012, a third trailer was released featuring more footage of London's destruction.
[52]
In January 2013, a four-minute clip of the film featuring a ninja
battle between Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow was attached with the
screening of
Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters.
[53]
Toy line
A toy line for the film was confirmed by
Hasbro in February 2012.
[54]
Despite the movie's release being moved from June 2012 to March 2013,
the initial assortments of figures, vehicles, and role-play items were
shipped to retailers, and appeared on store shelves in May 2012,
[55] before being pulled from store shelves with the delay of the film.
[56][57]
Reception
Reviews of the film have been mixed to negative. It currently sits at a 30% on
Rotten Tomatoes, based on 100 reviews with the consensus: "Though arguably superior to its predecessor,
G.I. Joe: Retaliation is overwhelmed by its nonstop action and too nonsensical and vapid to leave a lasting impression".
[58]
At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average rating out of 100 to
reviews from mainstream critics, the film has received an average score
of 49%, considered to be "mixed or average reviews", based on 17
critics.
[59]
Alan Scherstuhl of
The Village Voice wrote in a positive review that "this [movie] pushes right past
competent into
mostly legitimately enjoyable"
but added that "the movie is still dumb as catbutt. It's an honest and
accomplished dumbness, however, where the stupidest stuff seems to be
there because the movie would be less fun without it."
[60] The Hollywood Reporter's
Todd McCarthy was critical about the film's use of 3D and accurate
reflection of the franchise's comic book and cartoon origins, but
predicted it would still earn better than its predecessor,
G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra.
[61] Owen Gleiberman of
Entertainment Weekly
gave the film a grade of "B-", calling it "well-executed technocratic
action fluff" and commented: "In its dehumanized and trivial way, it's a
triumph of razor-sharp, hyper-violent style over formulaic substance
... Hollywood has now evolved to the point that it can deliver these
kinds of thrills with maximum brute force and keep the impact so light
that the result can
still be regarded as a 'harmless' diversion for 14-year-olds."
[62] Glen Heath Jr. of
Slant Magazine
gave it two out of four stars, crticizing the film's "cut-happy style"
and plot, but lauding the action sequences and Chu's direction as
"poetry in high-speed motion."
[63] Writing for
Indiewire's
The Playlist Blog, Todd Gilchrist gave the film a "B-" and wrote: "As
one might expect, there are more than a handful of loose ends once
justice has been served, but there’s something to be said for a film
which aims to please in a sincere and straightforward way, without
attempting to be the biggest ever. 'Retaliation' is no masterpiece, but
it’s a movie whose fun doesn’t feel like a four-letter word"
[64]
In a negative review, Betsey Sharkey of the
Los Angeles Times
panned the "overwhelmingly complicated, globe-hopping, enemies within,
enemies without story line" and 3-D but noted that "the humor, when it
works, offers 'Retaliation' some redemption." She ended with: "It's
convoluted. Frankly no one should have to think that hard to keep up
with the Joes."
[65] Another negative review came from
Variety Magazine's
Justin Chang, who ridiculed the movie's large-scale destruction of
foreign cities, writing: " Audiences who thrilled to the sight of Paris
under biochemical attack in “Cobra” will be pleased to watch London
endure an even more horrific fate here, although the sequence is tossed
off in quick, almost ho-hum fashion, with no time to dwell on anything
so exquisitely crass as the spectacle of the Eiffel Tower collapsing."
He summarized the movie as "a more straight-faced brand of idiocy than
its cheerfully dumb 2009 predecessor."
[66]
Writing for
Empire Magazine,
Olly Richards gave the movie 2 stars out of 5 and compared it
unfavourably with its predecessor, writing: "The first film you could at
least laugh
at. This takes all its silly ingredients and smushes them down flat. 'Retaliation' over-promises and under-delivers."
[67] Richard Roeper of
Chicago Sun Times
gave the movie 1.5 stars out of a possible four, branding it a
"ridiculous and overblown debacle" that contained "nothing but
well-packaged garbage" and further adding: "To say 'G.I. Joe:
Retaliation' is a video game for the big screen is to insult a number of
video games that are far more creative, challenging and
better-looking."
