It has a solid setup and ending for a GI Joe movie but the middle just gets bogged down with the Joes slowly figuring things out that we a) already knew going into the movie (like Zartan being president) or b)things the movie reveals early to the audience (like COBRA’s new satellite weapons). The main weakness of the movie is definitely it’s pacing. On a mission to secure a nuclear weapons facility in Pakistan, GI Joe is betrayed, Duke and most of the Joes are killed, leaving Roadblock, Lady Jaye, Flint and Snake Eyes to figure out who set them up and get revenge.
Duke leads a squad that now includes Roadblock, Lady Jaye, Flint and Snake Eyes. *Spoilers for the end of Rise of Cobra* COBRA master of disguise, Zartan, has taken over the identity of the President but, for unknown reasons, allows GI JOE to continue to operate and even destroy all remaining nanotechnology and imprison Cobra Commander and Destroy. The movie picks up an undetermined time following the first movie. With a new director, The Rock and a very tenuous tie to the original, GI Joe: Retaliation is a much more solid action movie but is still a way from being a great one.
Rise of Cobra was a financial success but was critically and popularly hated for it’s unrelenting goofiness, terrible miscasting and very few resemblances to the beloved 80’s cartoon. Following the success of the first Transformers movie, Hasbro/Paramount moved to get it’s other big franchise, GI Joe, on the big screen.
