Snippet from My Review: (read my full review here)
Of the few defenders of 2009’s G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, many liked to say it took them back to their childhood. In my mind that means they were taken back to the days of Osh-Kosh B’Gosh and when eating anything off the ground seemed plausible. By comparison, G.I. Joe: Retaliation will also take you back to your childhood, though instead of the terrible twos, director Jon Chu and screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick — the duo responsible for Zombieland — have delivered something the 10-12 year-old audience is sure to appreciate while the rest of us look on, not entirely bored, but enough to the point where I was left thinking, close, but still needs work.
