It's no surprise that G.I. Joe: Retaliation topped the box office, it was going to make some money when it was released. The big thing for the movie is that it's already popular overseas, where it made an additional $80 Million, and that puts its grand total near $130 Million (which is the reported budget).

At times the film is completely ridiculous, but REALLY great. I guess Universal Pictures and Gore Verbinski (Pirates I,II, III and The Ring) saw the same thing I...
