One action packed movie that came out recently was G.I. Joe: Retaliation. I was able to see it over the weekend with my girlfriend. I have to admit that it was really good.

The whole premise of the movie was about revenge and the idea of taking over the world. In this second installment of the  G.I. Joe  franchise, the Cobra Commander escaped from the maximum security prison where he was being held, and the president was really Zartan, “the master of disguise”. The cobra commander used Zartan to kill off the G.I. Joes and create some weapons that were more powerful, and use them to take over the world. Some of the Joes had survived, like the Rock, but known in the movie as RoadBlock. Well he and the other two survivors had teamed up with the old general of the Joes to take down Cobra before it became too late. General Joe Colton had teamed up  with the Joes even though he was forced to retire. During a peace summit,  Cobra had tried to take control over the world, but the Joes made a daring but successful attempt to stop Cobra.

Besides the general of the idea of the movie, I give it four out of five stars. The movie is totally action packed, including the actors it stars. Bruce Willis, known for being in action packed movies, he starred in this G.I. Joe movie taking the role of Joe Colton who created the Joes. Another great actor is Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson; playing the role of ‘RoadBlock’. Well another famous person in the movie is Rza from The Wu-Tang Clan. The movie was suspenseful and most scenes had a lot of action in it. Well you’ll be hooked from the beginning, you’ll probably enjoy it.
