There should be a "Fans Only" sign at the door of every theater.
Neil Genzlinger, New York Times, 03.28.2013 -
To borrow from Jack in the Box, "G. I. Joe: Retaliation" is one hot mess.
Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times, 03.28.2013 -
What's the difference between an action figure and an action star? Very little in G.I. Joe: Retaliation, which features no performances of note, even from such combat-tested thespians as Bruce Willis, Jonathan Pryce and Dwayne Johnson.
Mark Jenkins, NPR, 03.28.2013 -
The filmmakers appear to have handed a dozen or so G.I. Joe dolls to a 9-year-old, watched him play for 110 minutes, and then shot a scene-for-scene remake.
