G.I. Joe: Retaliation treats "worldbuilding" the way a toddler treats a fruit bowl — enthusiastically, briefly, then forgotten.

Counted four explosions before the studio logo finished. G.I. Joe: Retaliation knows its audience.

G.I. Joe: Retaliation: where physics filed for emotional distress and lost.

G.I. Joe: Retaliation should come with a complimentary pillow for when the third-act CGI soup inevitably kicks in.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in G.I. Joe: Retaliation?
Rewatched G.I. Joe: Retaliation last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

Unpopular opinion: G.I. Joe: Retaliation is the most overrated film of the decade
Look, I wanted to love G.I. Joe: Retaliation. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in G.I. Joe: Retaliation?
Everyone praising the G.I. Joe: Retaliation performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in G.I. Joe: Retaliation actually is?
Director clearly thought G.I. Joe: Retaliation was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.
