Are you a comic fan? Are you an action freak? Well, then voila! I’m
sure you’re a fan of G.I. Joes then. The origin of these ‘action
figures’ can be traced from the comic strip that used to be the buzz
of the town back in 1980s. I remember every kid was crazy about the G.I.
Joes.
Also the cartoon series based on the adventures of G.I. Joes was
quite a fad that time around. Many would still find the theme song quite
appealing.
‘G.I. Joe is the code name for America's daring, highly trained
special mission force. Its purpose: to defend human freedom against
Cobra, a ruthless terrorist organization determined to rule the
world.’
It was like an anthem back then.
And to revive that spirit and the passion for the Joes, you can
consider watching ‘G.I. Joe Retaliation’. The plus point is the
amazing cast that is the part of this movie. In fact, the brownie point
that many would consider giving to this one over ‘G.I. Joe: The Rise
of Cobra’ is due to the presence of Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock.
The regular fans would know that the usual tension in this comic streak
is between G.I. Joes and Cobra. ‘G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra’ was
all about that tussle while in ‘G.I. Joe Retaliation’, they are not
only fighting their mortal enemy Cobra... but they are also facing the
tension internally. The main USP of the movie is to see how Zartan, the
master of make-up and disguise, tries to weaken the G.I. Joes.
Other than the amazing action and everything, this movie is known for
its amazing dialogues. Don’t forget to notice the one where Dwayne
Johnson (aka The Rock) who plays Roadblock in the movie says- ‘Do you
smell what The Rock is cooking?’ As a wrestler, Dwayne Johnson is
known for this line.
Apart from this, some of the very catchy or funny (for that matter) quotes are right here.
Roadblock: In the immortal words of Jay-Z: "Whatever deity may guide
my life, dear lord don't let me die tonight. But if I shall before I
wake, I'd accept my fate."
Zartan: Well the good news is no global warming summit next month.
Captain Duke Hauser: Drive it like you stole it!
