Despite hating the G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra I decided to check out Retaliation and for what it was I quite enjoyed it. I did check out the cast for the first since it's been awhile and how the hell did they manage to make a movie with Marlon Wayans, Brendan Fraser, Dennis Quaid, and Arnold Vosloo then have Channing Tatum as the star? They're all barely tolerable alone, together it's just a mess. Also, JGL as Cobra? What an odd choice... maybe I just liked the new one more because it had The Rock, maybe I just didn't expect too much so I was pleasantly surprised, or maybe I'm just in love Adrianne Palicki? It's probably a mix of all of those.
