Well, some kids had their first exposure to Batman from watching "Batman and Robin" in 1997. Most sane people can agree that it's one of the worst things ever created with Batman in it. It's a testament to how powerful the draw of Batman is that a trainwreck movie still managed to interest some kids enough to stick around and learn more about him.
And so it is with Joe. It's nice that RoC got you interested, but that doesn't make it a good movie. You seem to have discovered that Joe has so much more to offer than RoC would suggest, so that's good, but let's hope the next movie is something that aims to be a lot better. |

I blame no one. I liked both movies, despite obvious flaws/issues. Certainly hoping for better, though.
We always hear about the hate. What do we LIKE about the movies? I loved the nanomite destruction of the Eiffel Tower, for starters.

I like the Ninja stuff, I like the accelerator suits, I like the action, I like the PIT training montage, I like the Neo Vipers, I pretty much like all of RoC besides the cringe Ripcord & Scarlett and Duke & Anna stuff. I like all of retaliation except for the rather cringey part where Lady Jaye dances with Zartan. I do however, like RoC much more than Retaliation overall.

Retaliation was much better in comparison. Actually a while back someone posted at cut of ROC with a Sunbow score and it was a major improvement..

Well, you can never make fun of Lima ever again.
Power suits show such a basic lack of understanding G.I. Joe at a fundamental level, that it's something Lima would dream up. Joes don't need power suits, because they are the best of the best at what they do. They ARE the power suits. Show them being highly skilled specialists in their chosen field, not needing retarded robo suits to get shit done. This isn't Halo or Robocop. You shouldn't need this explained to you. Shame on you.

I never liked Stephen Summers movie style (The Mummy,etc). Part of it is his CGI cinematography. He doesn't ground a lot of his CGI shots to realistic camera shots. They look cool but scream unreal. |

Ehhh, I didn’t mind the suits, either. I hear what 48 is saying, but Joe keeps getting reinvented, and for that iteration, it simply WAS.
I loved the Cobra Steel Crusher! Movie AND toy. That whole Paris Pursuit scene was pretty cool to me. The Retaliation mountain fight was stellar. Let it be understood, though—I’d like nothing more than a true-to-form ARAH movie, especially if SE’s Hama-created back story was faithfully followed, with some Jerwa/SE Declassified thrown in for good measure.
