Movie Power Rankings: ‘GI Joe: Retaliation’ takes down superheroes and ‘Star Trek’

After a nearly year-long delay, the sequel is finally in theaters and is cleaning up at the box office just as stars Channing Tatum, Dwayne Johnson and Bruce Willis are wiping the floor with Cobra. It seems that fans are enjoying “Retaliation” more than 2009’s “G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra,” and we surely haven’t seen the last of the Joe Team on the big screen. Here’s what The Rock himself had to say about the film when we spoke to him last week.
