I'm just happy that there was a Joe movie to go to. Not like the cartoon at all, but a Joe movie. I'm 40, never would have dreamed it, but now we have 2 movies so far, not the Joe we envisioned but a Joe movie nonetheless. Joe will be gone sooner than later, I try to embrace whatever is offered in hopes of Hasbro continuing the brand for years to come. It will never be like it was when we were kids but come on man, Joe in this day and age? We're pretty lucky this brand is still around.

I haven't seen it yet ether, I work six days a week. When it was released I was quite busy at the time. I'm more about the figures anyways. If they never had to produce another show or movie, and still sold figures, I'd be happy.

Seeing how there is a wealth of comics, books and other back History about the Joe Universe. Seeing what finally made it to the screen for me was disappointing. The first GI JOE movie I walked out on after 30 mins.I felt no connection with any of the characters, except for Bruce. And as for the rest I didnt care if they lived or died. For me it was a step Below MANOS the Hands of Fate and between ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES

If you didn't know anything about Joe, Retaliation would make no sense. And it would be a good cross-section representation of G.I. Joe. It did Joe better than ROC, but ROC was a better movie.

You should give Jon M Chu more credit. At least use Uwe Boll as the reference. Geez.

I liked Retaliation. Much better than ROC. As always this did not go the way any particular individual wanted then it was horrible; an abomination to all things Joe.
Nostalgia is a crippling thing. I try to avoid threads and just check out the customs because of all the negative, pitiful hate... So, how about each of us write up a submission on the "one, true G.I. Joe" and send it in and then if one of us manages to be selected then the rest of us can continue on complaining about what a disappointing train wreck it was. |

I enjoyed Retaliation.
I'm going to buy the extended action version at Best Buy on Tuesday and watch it again. It was awesome. |

So, I've been putting it off all summer- finally walking out of Fred Meyer last night I saw it in Redbox- wife asked if I was going to rent it...so I did.
It was as bad as I thought it was going to be...they tried, but there was no recovering after the awful plot line from the first movie. The Rock and Bruce Willis did a good job, but there was really no way to recover the story from the first movie... At least we got some cool figures out of the deal- thats the only good thing, and the fact that the youth liked it and it made money to keep the line going... Maybe in 20 years we'll get a reboot and a better- more accurate story line to go with it.
