The G.I. Joes are not only fighting their mortal enemy Cobra, they are forced to contend with threats from within the government that jeopardizes their existence. This time, they must fight for their country against a dangerous enemy who plans to rule the world, and they also face a threat from within.

G.I. Joe: Retaliation received generally negative reviews from critics, with many criticizing its plot, action sequences, and lack of originality. However, it was a box office success, grossing over $375 million worldwide.

• An improvement over its predecessor, but still suffers from a weak plot and generic action.

• Dwayne Johnson's charisma is a highlight, but not enough to save the film.

• Despite some entertaining moments, the film ultimately feels like a by-the-numbers action flick.

Google audience: Audiences found the film to be an entertaining popcorn flick with solid action, though some noted that the plot was predictable and the dialogue could be cheesy.

The film was originally scheduled for a June 2012 release but was postponed to March 2013 to convert it to 3D.
