movie review: G.I. Joe Retaliation



I still can't believe I got talked into seeing this movie.  A few of my fellow teachers really wanted to see it, so I went along.  Obviously I was skeptical.  I mean, a total Man Movie for sure.  And it was also a sequel!  A sequel!  Crap!  I hadn't seen the first one!

You guys, it didn't matter.  The movie was totally LEGIT.  I would actually go as far as saying I was seriously entertained watching it.  The cast was really great, my favorite being Lady Jaye - she was a badass chick with a smoking body.  Is that inappropriate?  Whatever, I'd give my left leg to be shaped like her.



And of course, the ever-hott Channing Tatum graces the screen as well.  I feel like I'm supposed to go ooooo and AHHHH over him, but he doesn't really do it for me.  He's attractive, but his acting seems a little off, awkward maybe?  I don't know.


Besides the cast, the fight scenes were out of this world awesome.  To a girl like me, fighting in movies can seem all the same, nothing unique about it.  But this was different - not only were the special effects incredible but the SCENERY was spectacular.  I don't know where they filmed some of these mountain scenes but it looks like they're 25,000 feet in the air...Nepal maybe?

Even if you haven't seen the prequel, I would suggest taking your boyfriend/husband/dude friend/brother to see this.  He'll be stoked, and you'll be entertained.
