It took me a second to realize you weren't talking about Paul Thomas Anderson. I was like, "MANWAT?!" lol

Uh, the guy that did the first Mortal Kombat and Event Horizon. The same guy who does the god awful Resident Evil movies. Does it really matter?

Yes because they are very different movies. To me, it's great that Retaliation is a much better movie but even if ROC never made it to the screen I still would like Retaliation as much as I do now. Having a worse predecessor doesn't necessarily make the successor better.

To me, roc had a ridiculous plot that made it seem like it was written by 9 yr olds. Common sense or adherence to source material was not a priority.
Retaliation seemed like it was put together by a director who had some fun ideas for some action scenes and the script/plot was tertiary. Neither is Shakespeare, but I prefer the ridiculousness of Roc. I was entertained by both, impressed by neither. |

Good things come from lowered expectations.

I look at cobra commanders role in this franchise the same way I look at Ernst Staveros Blofeld from the early bond movies. you know he's in charge but his generals are the ones doing the real dirty work. Wouldn't be surprised if we saw Tomax and Xamot were in charge of Cobra's next operation.
