G.I. Joe: Retaliation poster

Why people love it

G.I. Joe: Retaliation (2013) stuck because it commits to its action premise without apologizing—viewers remember set pieces and momentum as much as plot. Jon M. Chu's control of tone keeps the ride coherent. The action and science fiction blend is the engine: it lets the film shift registers without feeling like two different movies stitched together.
