I like different aspects of both movies and hate many of them to. Combine all the good from them and it would have been great.

I doubt the third movie will combine the concepts from the two previous movies.

As much as I enjoyed both I think, as Poddie says, RoC was closer to what ''the kids'' want, being more in line and style to something like the Transformers movies rather than the political/intrigue/White House Olympus Falling Down thriller that was Retaliation.
I just think GI Joe's problems stem from the fact that it's trying to be everything for everybody and by trying to do so, it loses its identity.

A really good film tends to net a nice fat box office for the next sequel even if the sequel isn't as good. But on the flip side sequels have a harder time if the production team didn't make people happy enough last time. |

I think it's hard to say either of the films was a box office success. Retaliation probably cost $150 million to make and another $100 to $150 million to market.
Given that, it might have made a little money, but it wasn't a smash success or anything. I'm willing to bet Paramount made more on tax credits than it did on the film. |

IMO, as a fan of all movies, I thought ROC was a lot more fun to watch. Retaliation dropped the ball. It should of been so much better, since it was the 2nd release and it ended up being worse.
It was tough going from tons of CGI, to almost none. The two movies don't flow when watching them back to back. They could of worked on that, but it shows Hasbro really doesn't give a shit. |

Can we weigh the tons of figures and vehicles made then sold for each movie? Unfortunately, ROC would win, dang it.
We liked Retaliation better. |
