Rise of Cobra felt like G.I. Joe to me, not G.I. Dwayne. There's enough goofiness in the plot that, had ROC been a cartoon or comic book, we'd be talking about how amazing it was. The actors were better, too, but Retaliation gets points for killing off Chan--er, Duke and having a better Cobra Commander.

I've seen the extended version on Amazon Prime but never have watched. Sounds like the ultimate edition of Batman v. Superman. Once I watched that Snyder cut, I've never gone back to the theatrical cut. Heck, even the extended version of The A-Team movie was better than the theatrical cut. |

The original excuse/reasoning is still valid: after Disney paid $100 million for Avengers distribution rights, Paramount felt secure to delay GI Joe to a less crowded period and add 3D effects to boost the international returns. In general, I feel Rise of Cobra is the more functionally solid film. The plot works, the characters generally work, action is serviceable, it is a perfectly functional action film. But Retaliation has the personality and "flair" that I more associate with GI Joe. Between the two, I definitely prefer Retaliation. No, it's not a "good movie", but it's FUN and has the elements, theatricality, and wackiness I expect from the brand. I appreciate the new ideas Snake Eyes brought to the mythos, but I lament it's hap hazard execution and lackluster action sequences.

I have found no evidence of that. If anything, the final film removed a fairly significant scene featuring Duke and Flint. If they were trying to "add more Channing Tatum", then I don't see why they end up cutting a major scene WITH him.

I think Rise captured the feel but flopped on the look and the execution.
I think Retaliation looked more like GI Joe but was ultimately kinda boring, and Roadblock did not rhyme or cook. |
