‘G.I. Joe’ Review: Action Movie Is ‘Big’ And ‘Dumb’

— If a big, dumb action movie knows it’s a big, dumb action movie and revels in that fact, is that preferable to a big, dumb action movie making the mistake of thinking it’s significant, relevant art?

That’s the question to ponder – if you can think straight and your ears aren’t ringing too badly – during “G.I. Joe: Retaliation.” This sequel of sorts to the 2009 blockbuster “G.I. Joe: The Rise of the Cobra” seems to have some cheeky fun with itself, from Bruce Willis cheerily revealing the arsenal he’s hiding in his quiet suburban home to RZA from the Wu-Tang Clan essentially showing up and playing himself. A major city is obliterated with the touch of a button and several others are in peril as the world hinges on nuclear destruction in what amounts to a hammy game of chicken.

Wu-Tang founder RZA makes directorial debut with The Man with the Iron Fists, which tells the story of a deep-seated conflict between competing bands of warriors, a devious madame (Lucy Liu) and her brothel, as well as a ruthless British emissary (Russell Crowe), who all descend upon a small village in feudal China, where a humble blacksmith (RZA) winds up getting caught in the fray. It’s a tale that doesn’t entirely follow through on its ambitious premise, but for fans of the kung fu genre, there is definitely a lot to enjoy here.
