Framed for crimes against the country, the G.I. Joe team is terminated by the President's order, and the surviving team members face off against Zartan, his accomplices, and the world leaders he has under his influence.

Took the kids to see this and got exactly what I expected. Just a big budgeted popcorn movie. I enjoyed it even more than the first which was kinda meh. Cool action and fight sequences, hot dudes and chicks gallore, what more do you want?

Not bad. But definitely not something I'd go out of my way to see if it wasn't near me LOL. You can wait for video.

He's not that good of an actor and not that hot. But that's just my opinion.

He's a fine actor. Just one who tends to pull a Nic Cage and take any movie role offered to him (The Tooth Fairy...)

didn't get to see it in 3D in theaters, so watching it now. I take it for what it is, just a dumb action flick. Miles better than the first, but as a fan from back in the day two things bug me,

but neither are necessarily edged in stone so they could return for GI Joe 3.

I hope most of the characters from the first return for the third. Weird how they were just left out. I want to see my Scarlet again. Good news is though I read an interview with the director and he said its a high possibility she'll return in the next one.

This is pretty good, but I like RISE OF COBRA more. Too many new characters, with hardly any older ones. I hope the third unites the casts. I'd also like to see a TRANSFORMERS crossover.

I liked it. It wasn't as good as the first one and it bugged me that some of the old characters were not in it as well. Too many new characters.

Agreed the new characters were distracting. I hope it's a better balance in part 3

Overall this one wasn't all that bad and did come off rather well at times when it really wanted to. The opening attack on the missile silo and then resulting trap where they get taken out is a lot of fun with plenty of explosive action set-pieces that really get the movie started off on a right note by displaying exactly the kind of bullet-riddled, explosion-happy stunt-filled sequence that should be utilized in an occasion like this which is what makes it so much fun. Likewise, the entire final half is similarly packed with exciting moments from the tense confrontation in the war room to the attempt to seize control of the situation and all the different shootouts and confrontations needed to get things under control, this all became quite an exciting time with these slew of scenes featuring a lot to enjoy and makes for a rousing time overall. As well, the reason for the imposter featured in the first one is nicely paid off here with a rational reason for including such a lame storyline from the first one while at the same time using it to further a straightforward plot that allows for some rather fun times keeping it on track. Still, there's a few problems with this one mainly in the fact that the film doesn't really let itself do a whole lot from the time of the interception and the final assault, taken up with endless blathering from the villains, a search from the heroes for a safe base-of-operations and one of the lamest action scenes in the film which is the ninja attack on the mountain fortress, done with such obvious CGI and wire-works that it really takes you out of the movie because the rest of the action was a lot more grounded and realistic so the sight of people flying hundreds of feet through the air, attacking each other with swords while spelunking down a mountain side thousands of feet up strikes as being obviously fake by comparison. That all together combines to halt the mid-section of the film down considerably, but not enough to hold this from being entertaining.
Do illiterate people get the full effect of alphabet soup?

Some people are like slinkies: not good for anything, but you can't help but laugh when one falls down the stairs.

Agreed, I enjoyed it better than the original. Though I hope to see a few more characters that were in the first but missed out on this one. Most notably Scarlet!

I'm glad I watched this at the drive-in, because I couldn't tell how bad some parts looked. This should never have been converted to 3D, because it looked terrible.

I've only seen about fifteen minutes of it since it was in theaters, and I only remember a short bit of the plot. It's very generic, but I think they did a really good job with the casting. It always feels easily skippable, but the cast is likable enough that it kept me willing to keep watching.

I was never a fan of the franchise to begin with, I'd never even seen anything pertaining to it other than the original film and simply watched both as standalone Action films. That was all that mattered to me.
