I?ve been saying this for years. I?ve watched both about 4 times at least and every time I see more and more good things about it. It?s just a couple big issues I don?t think I?ll ever be able to get passed

I also thought this was common knowledge. I wasn?t aware, however, of him turning it down so many times because he was a fan and hated the script. It should be a sign to studios when an actor is a fan of something and doesn?t want to be in the movie because they don?t believe in it.
I will say Tatum doesn't realize that he was Duke in those movies, not GI Joe. Bruce Willis was GI Joe in those movies. Maybe it has been so long since he was in those movies that he forgot that detail. |

ROC is a moderately entertaining sci-fi action movie but bad at the GI Joe stuff. It gets the Duke, Ripcord, and Baroness characters very wrong. Duke should be a Captain-America-style boy scout, best of the best soldier before he meets the Joes, and earns their/Hawk's respect. The less said about the Duke/Baroness pairing, the better. And instead of the Duke/Scarlet or SE/Scarlet romantic pairing we get Ripcord hitting on her relentlessly and offensively. Wayans and Nichols have ZERO chemistry, but we're supposed to believe that there's some actual sexual tension there. Really? The Cobra Commander origin story is garbage. They tried to do the SE/SS sword-brother rivalry thing, but it failed in the execution for me. (Christopher Eccleston as Destro is kinda awesome, though.) Retaliation is a mostly boring movie but good at the GI Joe stuff. Some examples: The SE/Jinx/Red Ninja battle feels straight out of a Marvel Joe comic. The look & feel of Cobra fits, with the costume design of Cobra Commander and the Cobra troopers, the explosive gadgetry of Firefly, even the designs of the HISS tanks and gunboats in the final battle. And you can't tell me that the Cobra plot wouldn't fit perfectly in the Sunbow series! CC has Zartan impersonate the POTUS to rid the world of nuclear weapons, while Cobra has launched city-destroying, missile-firing satellites into orbit to hold the world hostage. Come on, that's some straight-up magnificent 1980s Cobra nonsense right there! Unfortunately, none of it seems to actually work as a coherent movie. SE: Origins was both boring and bad at the GI Joe stuff. :( |

I didn?t know how much I loved ROC & RET until that $hitshow of a movie SE Origins hit?

Hasbro had all the Sunbow multi-parters edited into single videos. You'd be better-off watching these than any of the live-action movies:

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...d2hNOxpD35psIn There for a few years, atleast locally here. Until 86 or maybe 87, I think it was channel 23, would show the Mass Device at Thanksgiving, starting at I think 6 PM, they had it on twice back to back. Then at Christmas it was the Revenge of Cobra, same time slot and on twice too but in between they had the Transformers More than Meets the Eye also edited into a movie. Ever since 2003 when the DVD's came out, I've kept that old tradition alive. Every year at Thanksgiving and Christmas. I eat too much and fall asleep on the couch watching GIJoe lol. |
