Don't wait until the end of the film for Destro to be Destro, and Cobra Commander to be CC. Make that happen within the first Act.
Change Ripcord to Stalker. Eliminate the relationships between Duke, Baroness, and Rex "The Doctor." |

Don't make Cobra Commander Dukes, ex girlfriends little brother
Less CGI Over land battle, instead of underwater But seriously I liked ROC and Retaliation.

As I've mentioned before, if I forget that this was a G.I.Joe movie, then I'd say it was very enjoyable.

-Start the movie with Cobra doing something badass and destructive, close in on Cobra Commander with some great villain line
-Title Credits -Introduce the Joes and their mission. Skip the crap about somebody joining the team. It's not needed. Hawk or some Gov't Official says a line about "Highly trained special ops force (whatever). Boom. Now the unfamiliar audience members know who they are. -Destro and the Baroness lead some attack somewhere. The Joes show up and we get our first big fight -Snake-Eyes is shocked to see Storm Shadow pop up toward the end of the battle. Cobra gets away with something they need. -Snake-Eyes is visibly disturbed. One of the Joes asks him what's up and we go into a flashback about their history, a version of the Larry Hama history where they're Army buddies. And LOSE the "Vow of Silence" crap. He can't speak because of a heroic sacrifice. -Joes regroup, GEAR-UP SCENE (no Accelerator armor!), Joes go on the attack. -Final Battle. Joes win. Some Cobras are captured. Some get away to set up the sequel.

I've done both...doesn't work.
I agree with the elimination of the relationship between Duke, Baroness, and The Doctor. I would've made Marlon Wayans play the role of Airborne. And Cobra Commander would have started out as Cobra Commander and I would've added his back story in the form of flashbacks. And I would have stuck to their 80's style uniforms but upgraded them to a more modern look, I hate the "everybody wears black" idea. Really dumb. |

I really liked ROC. The only big thing I would change is the Rex-Duke relationship. Rex could have been Mindbender and already the bad guy. Gets pissed after Duke leads the team that blew him up. Maybe throw Mindbender's family being killed during the bombing to ramp up the hate, then he gets personal revenge by taking what's her name and turns her into the Baroness. The Duke-Baroness relationship didn't really bother me. The nanomites thing was cool.

Let me break down the main problems. Rise of Cobra is just too weak of a movie story wise.
1. Destro's motivations for his convoluted takeover plan is never clearly explained. This is actually a REALLY big narrative problem, because without this, he's basically a LOL BLOW SHET UP PROFIT WHO CARES type of villian. Cobra Commander is worse, his motivations don't MAKE ANY SENSE. 2. Characters are not just cookie cutter traits like "BRAVERY" and "FUNNY". You have to SHOW these traits on screen, not tell us. Also, you have to SHOW the interactions and motivations between characters and how they react to each other to demonstrate character, no BARONESS IS MY FIANCEE because I SAID SO!!! 3. Plot events must have realistic consequences and continuity. When Cobra blew up Paris. . . . . no French armies were sent against Cobra. No Fred Fuchs were given. That's bad, Cobra is running blowing shet up willy nilly and no governments help? What, nanites make your soldiers almost invincibile? That sounds stupid, then how do the heroes ever win then? *Spoiler's they don't actually fight that many of them! They just talk their foes to death and auto win mostly. That's dumb. 4. Protagonists motivations. OH MY GOD, besides Duke and Snake Eyes, can you even remember what the protagonists were fighting for? You will likely have a hard time because they used AVENGING THE GI JOES and STOPPING COBRA as the motivation. No, no no no no!!! That's not a personal motivation, it would be like saying I want to save Coke-Cola, or I want to prevent Foot in Moth Disease, no one in the audience CARES!!! Show and tell us why they wanted to save Coke Cola, or prevent Foot in Mouth Disease, etc. 5. There's too much telling and not showing!!! I don't want you to spend 20 minutes talking about every single detail, condense it so you don't have to and save the telling for facts,less important events you can't show or condensed lore during conversations! |
