When you go to see a sequel of a movie, you generally have an expectation of the movie being bigger and better than the previous one. In this case, i don't remember seeing the 1st one, so the 2nd one was a fresh movie to me with all new characters.
G I Joe has a predictable story line... bad guys and good guys... bad guys create a problem, good guys solve it... but thats how G I Joe plots are... no surprise at that.
The story starts with pakistan going into unrest and the president of the united states making a call to retrieve nuclear warheads from a centre in pakistan and sends the G I Joes in. The president is the bad guy posing as the president. Hence, the mission is a plot for the bad guys to get all the warheads in the same place and steal them from the Joes and kill all of them. Miraculously 3 of the Joes survive in an amazing fashion by going underwater in a well and avoiding detection, make their way back to US soil and find the bad guys.
First, the president and an evil plot by the Joes to use the feminine beauty to do the work.
2nd, getting storm shadow on their side to give insider info and let him get revenue against zartan
3rd, the new Joe team to take down the bad guys
4th, win against the bad guys.
A few things that stood out in the movie:
1. The mountain fight sequence between Snake eye, Jinx in capturing Storm shadow
2. The last fight sequence where the Joes save the world from evil... just the last part of roadblock and firefly
3. The disguise technology Zartan used to make himself look like the president. nice.... i wish i had that.. :D
4. The massive amounts of ammunition that Bruce Willis has in his house in some amazing places.
In fact i went back to watch the 2 fight scenes again in 3D... ;)
What i didnt like
1. the predictability of the movie.. the good people will win at the end...
2. the thrill of seeing all the Joes working together, not just 4 and ninjas.
3. I wish they didn't destroy london, i like the city.
Most important, looked like the budget for this movie was limited to kill all the Joes in the 1st 10 minutes of the movie... poor Duke, the apparent hero of the last one, becomes non existent in this one... :D
Last said, its a movie that you can watch once and forget about... nothing lasting...
