G.I. Joe: retaliation is quite better than the preview movie of the saga G.I. Joe. It is a simple scifi action movie with lots of shootings, fights and other topics from the action genre. It is not a very good movie, but it surely make the fans of the genre and of the original characters have a good time. The pace of the second part is faster and fluider than the one of "G. I. Joe: the rise of Cobra". The action scenes are well executed and in spite of its predictability, I did not find it boring. Some spectators will be disappointed because Bruce Willis and Channing Tattum are not the real protagonists and are on screen less time than expected, specially the second one. The real protagonist actor is The Rock. Jonathan Pryce does a good job playing the role of the President as well as the President's impostor. The rest of the cast does a decent job, but this script does not demand too good interpretations due to its lack of depth. The special effects are very good. In conclusion, this movie's weak points are its predictability, lack of charismatic character, the short apparitions of both Willis and Tattum and the lack of depth whereas the strong points of the movie are its fast pace and the last thirty minutes.
