background
After the success of the first part, a second part was commissioned. The two screenwriters from Zombieland were responsible for the script . Only Channing Tatum , Arnold Vosloo , Ray Park , Jonathan Pryce and Byung-hun Lee remained from the original line-up . Tatum had to accept the role against his will because the studio insisted on contractual obligations. A new addition was, among others , Bruce Willis and Dwayne Johnson . The original plan was to keep Stephen Sommers directing , but Paramount Pictures ended up hiring John Chu.
Filming began in Louisiana in August 2011 . On November 22, 2011, there was a tragic accident in New Orleans in which a crew member from the Sound Department died.
Originally announced for mid-2012, the start of the film was postponed so that the film could also be offered in 3D . The film was finally released in the US in March 2013.

In Pakistan , the film was banned by the censors because the state was portrayed as a hostile regime in the opening sequences.
criticism
“All of this is staged in overkill bursting with weapons with pithy sayings and no brains whatsoever. After all, the fascist outlook on the first part of the Hasbro franchise gave way to more effective 3D. Definitely questionable as a film for thinking people. "
“With breathtaking action scenes and a cast list that matches the genre, GI JOE 2: DIE ABRECHNUNG offers great entertainment for an action-packed 3D cinema evening. The respective target group will be least disturbed if the characters are only touched on superficially. "
