Angry Lurker Honest Movie Review 95: G.I Joe Retaliation 2013 (3 STARS).

Framed for crimes against the country, the G.I. Joe team is terminated by the President's order, and the surviving team members face off against Zartan, his accomplices, and the world leaders he has under his influence.

You do sort of need to have seen the first one and technically this is better than the first one but I'm not sure and I'd like to say this was not my first choice of movie when I arrived at the cinema, there's a few missing characters from the first (glossed over), some being played by new people and a returning one killed off quite quickly, the action is quite fast and quick, the acting is not too bad, the Rock (Dwayne Johnson) is perfect in his role, Bruce Willis must have a tax bill to pay and physics and reality gets a real test. Harmless popcorn but maybe wait for DVD.

There are a lot of changes from the comics in these movies and I would have liked to have seen some Red Shadows and a Baron Ironblood in my movies but that's just me, in Britain you would be more familiar with the name Action Force.

I really do like when sports people move over to acting like the Rock, Vinnie Jones and have a little or a lot of success..........

Some of the cast, Jonathan Pryce does look a little bemused but he plays a good role........

28mm Painted 4Ground General Purpose Wagons with Loads from...

.....Colonel Bill's Wargame Depot. Perfect for 18th, 19th and early 20th century gaming as scenery or an objective or just something to hide behind or steal.

I have the wagons from Black Flag but had seen these from 4Ground and wanted a wagon with the canopy hoods, these are very nice kits, come with quite good instructions, a little fiddly (you will see that they only have 4 canopy hoods each instead of 5, damn my shovel sized hands!) but overall a little better than the Black Flag ones.

I bought the kits at Cavalier from Colonel Bill but he had designed loads to fit exactly and neatly in the wagons rear (lovely fit), so I bought the Napoleonic/Colonial/ACW set, not bad but with the normal resin issues you find like not fully cast but still acceptable as scenery .

Two Dixon cowboys to give an idea of size and scale.

28mm Painted Thunder Boxes or Dunny or Outhouse or Privy or Earth Closet or...............

........even Cr**per if you prefer! Many names for an essential piece of woodwork found between the 18th and 20th century in Europe, North America, South Africa, Australia or nearly anywhere you had to go!

They come from 4Ground, you get 4 in the pack, MDF and not too hard to make.

28mm appropriately attired Foundry figure to help show size and scale.......
