Christopher Eccleston wasn't doing an accent.... that's how he actually talks.

They didnt use any of the other black JOEs cause none of them come close to being anywhere near planes.

Wait.... did this dude watch the money? Breaker was acting like he failed. And wasnt the fish a JOE spy?

The voice activated test plane was in a GI JOE episode.

They ice was actually referred as "ice packs." I dont know what that means but it probably explains why they sink. Probably.

but if the cartoon is a defense then every Joe knows how to fly a plane.

And wasnt the fish a JOE spy?
hmm, I never thought that to be the case.

very funny review and pretty spot-on.

I know some people find it enjoyable but it is like The Phantom Menace to me, I just keep watching it because I can't believe it is as bad as it is and am waiting to actually enjoy it at some point because maybe I misunderstood it all the other times.

hahaha! Couldn't agree more. I've only watched Roc and The Phantom Menace twice for that very reason. I've always said that I'm willing to try anything twice. You never know. Maybe the first time was a fluke or you were in a bad mood or whatever. But, yeah, unfortunately both of those films sucked both times that I watched them and I won't watch either one again.

That guy is an idiot, is he serious when he says" isn't this movie for kids?" Because of quite a few guys dying on camera. i thought most of the nutty fan boys wanted to be more dark? This movie is based on TOYS and COMICS! it's going to be over the top!

Geez, that sounds like you some have some self-hatred issues you've got going on there. :D

That's like hitting your hand with a hammer over and over to see if eventually it will start to tickle.

Seriously man, stop. You're only hurting yourself the more you do it!

/Unless of course, the pain feels good... not that there's anything wrong with that

LOL DJ said the following below
"DJ Cotrona states the following about GI Joe Retaliation
It's grittier
Less childish/sci fi
More realistic without being dark
Focused on being as close to canon as possible
Seems to be getting a good reception with what little footage has been shown so far"

I just find it funny that this scifiguy said isn't ROC suppose to be for kids and now DJ is saying Retaliation is less childish.

He did bring up a good point. As much as I love Rise of Cobra, it was pretty much the first act for a (hopefully)three-act movie. It set up the backstory and showed Cobra rising, then ended to lead in to Retaliation.

All and all, a great review. Then again, everything on that site is awesome.

Ya i agree but like most people he has probably only seen the cartoon show and was expecting something simular. I found the tone of ROC to be all over the place imo. It "tried" to be funny in some places with "cartoony" action and childish dialogue which felt like a family movie (which is another reason he probably thought it was for kids) then the movie suddenly goes all violent with stabbings to the eye/impalement by forklift/ impalement by two metal prongs followed by a horrifying deteriorating face dont sum up "fun for the whole family" lol

Hah! I was hoping the Nostalgia Critic himself would take a crack at RoC, but hey, I'll take what I can get. That whole site is pure, unadulterated win (especially Spoony, Linkara, and Nostalgia Critic).

This is a little off topic but SW:TPM is in 3D now. Lucas is trying to milk this dead cow for what it is worth. Probably changed some continuity while he was at it.

The Phantom Menace has to be the worst movie of all time! I cannot believe Lucas made us wait 16 years for that total waste of time.

Here is a youtube link to the best reviewer of this monumental piece of shitty toilet paper. I have been wanting him to review RoC buy has hasn't gotten around to it yet.

Mike Stoklasa is an AMAZING analyst and reviewer! I've been following his work for a few years now and he never disappoints. : )

He does have ROC on his movie SUCK chart lmfao, maybe one day he will ; )
