Retaliation for kicking Destro out of the band. And redneck Firefly.
Walton Goggins 6 minute character has more personality than Flint. Brenda's story arc with Joe Colton. He never did give him his thin mints. Nah, Rise of Cobra for Scarlett cucking Duke and Snake-Eyes for Ripcord. Also, now every villain is connected to DUKE, except Storm Shadow and Zartan. They divided the contrived connections between Duke and SE. Plus killing Cover-Girl, because why not? Somewhere between the two is a decent movie, just not sure where. RoC has Joe all dressed in black too much. A lot of bad CG effects. Retaliation kills most of the team and only 2 have personalities. Cobra infiltrates US military with spec ops outright call COBRA, I guess they can happen since RoC was actually fighting MARS, not Cobra. |

I voted Rise of Cobra over Retaliation.
The best scene of Retaliation was the cliff combat sequence. Everything else was unwatchable. Snake-Eyes: Origins was worse. |

Rise of Cobra for me, because it was just more fun to watch (apart from the baroness turning good), and was much more immersive. The plot had a clearer direction than Retaliation. Also, I liked the futuristic, near-future military look to some things. Plus, it had an international flavour that reminded me of Action Force.

Retaliation. It brought me 35 Budo and 14 Dark Ninja.
ROC got a lot callbacks but Retaliaton was a lot more fun.

I have problems with both movies.
Rise - wimpy looking Destro, dated special effects, those super suits. Retaliation - CW level Flint and Lady Jaye, Rock being generically the Rock, Bruce Willis mailing it in for an easy pay check. I do like Doctor Rex for camp value and it does lean into Cobra Commander having upside in experimental weaponry, there's a cruelty to him I can get behind as well, so I think I'll take Rise only for that. I do think retaliation has better action scenes, but I can find even better action scenes in well made actions movies so that doesn't impress me. |

Voting by the figures, Retaliation wins by a landslide. Voting by the movies, I'd have to go with ROC. Retaliation as a movie was just so unfinished, and amateur. I still can't watch it again.
