GI Joe 2: Retaliation (2012)
Director: Jon M. Chu
Synopsis
Nato’s futuristic hi-tech special forces unit returns for another bout of gung-ho insurgent activity, this time under the helmsmanship of, are you ready for this, a dance film director. Who knows, perhaps Jon M Chua’s experience of directing dancers for ‘Step Up 2’ and ‘Step Up 3D’ will produce some awesome, balletic fighting sequences, maybe with a few feathersteps and a moonwalk thrown in for good measure. There’s no word anywhere of what the plot involves but Channing Tatum will return as the Joes’ leader and we’re sure the makers will find a suitable way to shoehorn Bruce Willis and Dwayne Johnson (formerly known as The Rock) into the mix.
