G.I. Joe: Retaliation

I thought it was okay. But story-wise, it was a little messy with character allegiances changing ("the enemy of my enemy is my not my enemy in this movie" logic going on). Showcasing 3 Joe's after the entire group was targetted for elimination by Zartan/President made for a smaller group of characters to follow, while they re-grouped to plan their "retaliation" for the attack on their lives. The remaining plotline had a cartoon feel to the story points. The ninja fight on the mountain side was pretty cool, though. For some reason, no matter if Walton Goggins is a good guy or bad guy, I don't really mind it if his characters get hammered.

I did see it in 3D, which wasn't too bad of an up-conversion.

I give it 2.5 stars, or a grade of C+.
