2013 film by Jon M. Chu
G.I. Joe: Retaliation is a 2013 American military science fiction action film based on the G.I. Joe toy line. It is the second installment in the G.I. Joe film series and the stand-alone sequel to G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009). Directed by Jon M. Chu and written by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, the film features an ensemble cast starring Dwayne Johnson, Bruce Willis, D. J. Cotrona, Lee Byung-hun, Adrianne Palicki, Ray Park, Jonathan Pryce, Ray Stevenson and Channing Tatum. The G.I. Joes fight their enemy Cobra again and also face threats from within the US government.
Originally slated for release in June 2012, the film was delayed to convert to 3D and boost interest in international markets. G.I. Joe: Retaliation was released in the United States on March 28, 2013, by Paramount Pictures. The film, like its predecessor, received generally negative reviews from critics, although it was considered an improvement from its predecessor and grossed $375.7 million worldwide against a budget of $130–155 million.
