I like a good chunk of the first film, but felt it went a bit overboard in parts, especially towards the end.  I'm not a big GI Joe fan or expert, so I didn't know really what to expect.  But this next one looks like fun.  Although I am getting a bit tired of the common movie trope of "they set us all up and now we have to get payback."  How many times have we seen that idea?

That is arguable, but frequently true.

So, maybe the title, Retaliation, refers to the fans getting even with the filmmakers? :)

I don't know why you keep bashing the first one.. I enjoyed it. I thought it was a fun action/SFX popcorn kind of movie.

I agree. I pretty much got out of it what I expected, and had fun. Didn't expect Oscar-winning performances, it's called Rise of Cobra for crying out loud!  :P

Who cares what it was called? Just because they name a movie something silly, are we to expect to pay money for crap? I think the movie was plain and simple crap. And if this thread was intended to only promote the movie and no negative opinions allowed, then perhaps that should have been stated in the initial post?

Wow.. okay.. you think it's crap.. gotcha!!

Hmm, sense sarcasm in the Force I do...:)

Looking forward to this one, looks like a great role for the Rock. Looks like it will be a lot of Action, so should be fun. I appreciate a good story as well, but sometimes a wild action movie from start to stop is good as well. My biggest complaint in the first one, was that revealed far to much in the trailers, so when I saw it, everything was pretty much expected.

WOW - this is a shock!  They are moving this movie to be released next March to add 3-D!  Pretty late in the game to be doing this.  And of course, I think it's a mistake.  Not just for the 3-D addition, but this movie screams summer popcorn flick. 

EXCLUSIVE: The sequel G.I. Joe: Retaliation was supposed to come out this summer on June 29th. But I've learned that Paramount is moving the movie nine months to March 29, 2013, to add 3D. "We're going to do a conscientious 3D job because we've seen how it can better box office internationally," one of the studio execs just told me. "Jim Cameron did all of Titanic's 3D in post – and look how well that movie turned out." Paramount has had luck delaying films before: its decision to move Martin Scorsese's Shutter Island gave the director his biggest box office hit ever. And right now, 3D is huge internationally, with Russia and China building new 3D theaters by the week. Also the execs say that the blockbuster performance of The Hunger Games shows that March can be a prime time of the year to release movies. Of course, Paramount had to talk its partners on GI Joe 2 into the extra nine months of carrying costs – MGM which has 25%, and David Ellison's Skydance which has another 25%. The $125M-budgeted actioner stars Channing Tatum, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, and Bruce Willis and is directed by Jon Chu.
