idk i kind'a like the thought of the next movie of him just doing his own thing. having nothing to do with cobra, or the Joes. He is a great character. and i'd like to see just a snake eyes, jinx and storm shadow movie. the ninja stuff was by far the best part. i could watch a two hour movie of just that! should keep it with no dialog too!
I saw it a few hours ago. The only thing I hate is the London part. It was a mass murder, a genocide. I mean, in the first movie, the Eiffel tower gets knocked down, no big deal not so different, but here it was a complete genocide. And at the end they just wave it and almost ignore it like they're like '' Eh, who's going to remember London?'' EVERYBODY!
He is not her dad. Also i saw the movie today. It started off really good but Spoiler killing duke off ruined the movie for me. I MEAN REALLY! Out of all the G.I. Joes to be killed they kill off one of the most essential to the franchise not to mention my favorite (tied with Snake Eyes of course But the action was great in the movie. Also Dwayne Johnson was a perfect Roadblock
here's another issue. What happened to the Baroness? and another thing that doesn't tie in with Rise of Cobra. In the first movie, the JOE organisation feels like a huge top soldiers agency that has members from all the world. In this one however, it just feels like an american unit, before Zartan pulls the ''Order 66''.
that is one of the main things that pissed me off about Retaliation , no mention of the original team, no mention of General Hawk, no mention of the PIT or the U.S.S Flagg
well they did stay that they attacked ALL gi joe military installations. and gi joe was more of a military unit, rather then a huge military agency. remember this is mostly a reboot, that just sort'a takes some of the plot elements from the first one. but it is a sequel that really ignored a lot of the first film. to it's benefit too.
Only thing I didn't really cover here was Bruce Willis, who was just Bruce Willis playing Bruce Willis using the name of Joe Colton. Oh, and the Blind Master was absolute garbage!
in my opinion they should have continued instead of discarded, what a freaking waste of time. All they did was just please the hardcore fans an give the middle finger to those who enjoyed the first film. Chu could have improved the first team just like he did with Duke and Snake eyes.
lol here i thought they set out to make a good action film, silly me. you can't please everyone, so i am glad they went the route they did, and ignored the first movie. as it made for a much better movie. besides they couldn't afford to get the old cast, so this was the best way to go.
Saw it once with family and friends (i ended up buying all the tickets) an that will be the only time, I aint spending money to see it again
To add to my fanboy rant this is something i posted on Hisstank on what i think about the one thing in the movie that really annoyed me. Spoiler Well the movie was pretty good as a whole but there is one thing that just plain out ruined it for me. Of course that is killing off Duke. I am still pist off that he is dead. Of course Duke is my favorite character (Along with Snake eyes) So now that he is 100% dead now ruined what is an awesome movie. I will admit the movie itself was awesome but when my favorite character in the whole franchise if killed off then of course i am going to be angry. Especially how much better he was in this movie. In Rise of Cobra Tatum did an average job as Duke. Not great not horrible. But in Retaliation he was done so well. His interaction with Roadblock was great! Also another complaint about his death was it just was to soon to kill Duke. I MEAN REALLY TO SOON. In the first movie he was more of just a solider. Sure he was in charge of the convoy in the beginning but when he was part of G.I. Joe in the first movie Hawk was the full on leader (The way it should be if Hawk appears) and Heavy Duty seemed to be more of the field leader for the team. Although this made sense because it would be strange for Duke to be leader of his own team right off the bat. So i am fine with this. But since Duke got to be leader in Retaliation only to be killed off that means that Duke got what only got twenty minutes of time to be tin a leadership position? Now the character Conrad Houser aka Duke is permanently killed in this whole movie continuity forever! (Or until a reboot) That means Duke didn't even get a full movie to be leader or at least second in command. This is just a plain on waste of a character. Not just any character but one of the most essential characters in the franchise. Only to be killed in the beginning of the second movie right when he gets to be in the leadership position. (i don't mean that as if he was just literally made leader but i mean as much time WE got to see him lead) So yeah what a fucking waste. But the thing is the whole movie i thought he could have lived since we didn't actually see and confirm a dead body besides the dog tag but that could have just come off in the explosion. Especially after a nine month delay that included reshoots! I kept expecting him to show up at some point but no. The thing is there are so many ways they could have brought him back. Such as: Have him captured by Cobra since he would be a valuable prisoner. Also during this time we could have some interaction with him and Cobra Commander. Eventually Roadblock and the others could have rescued him or he escaped by himself somehow. Or with Cobra controlling the government have them go after the Joes families. So after the battle Duke think about this possibility and goes to Roadblocks house and keep his daughters safe. Have a scene when cobra troop break in and have Duke stop them. This would be a good way to keep Duke alive and give him a good reason for him not being in the final battle. Besides his time as a G.I. Joe is too short for the character and even shorter as a leader (For what the audience gets to see) another thing that plain on sucks about Dukes death is it was for saving Flint. Once again Duke is screwed over by Flint. In the 80's Duke was written out of the show more and more for Flint and now Duke is killed to save Flint. Over the years i always held this grudge over Flint but lately i have been letting it go. Now it does not help that he is a reason in Duke's death. I know they are just fictional characters but it sucks seeing one of my favorites get screwed over again.
was firefly from the south or australia? his accent was horrible. Otherwise, no complaints... I like action movies though, so it was a blast!
Saw it, Liked it. I used to credit Javik from Mass Effect 3 as the best Fictional Troll character, I'd like to give President Zartan that credit now. While I enjoyed Cobra Commander's New Look, I really wished they could've given him a Raspy, High-Pitched Voice to go with the Classic Visor. I was okay with Roadblock being the new Joe leader, and not to be a Pixel-hog, but I really wished a Scriptwriter could've at least once fit a bit of rhyming into the Rock's Dialogue (See what I did there). Flint still gets no love (except from Lady Jaye)
