Haven't been here in a while......
Anyways, the last movie that I saw was GI Joe: Retaliation, on March 28th at mid-night.
I LOVED Retaliation, and as a Cobra Commander fanatic, my only complain was that Cobra Commander sounded like
Aside from that, Cobra Commander had an awesome demeanor, and was VERY badass in Retaliation.
I hated the first movie GI Joe movie for many reasons, including:
1 - Cobra Commander never served with Duke in the army, at ANY time.
2 - Cobra Commander and The Baroness were never brother and sister either.
3 - Cobra Commander being a doctor was dumb. I know that the animated movie also made him a doctor, but according to Cobra Commander's origins in the comics and 80s cartoons, it never happened.
4 - Ripcord felt weak in GI Joe 1, being played by Marlon Wayans.
I get that people like Marlon, but he played a very terrible Ripcord in part 1.
5 - Snake Eyes mask in the first movie had a stupid permanent grin on it, which made it hard to take the character seriously.
Not in this movie. Snake Eyes' costume had a good, much needed, revamp.
Retaliation was a 100% improvement upon Rise Of Cobra.
In fact, people should forget that the crappy Rise Of Cobra movie ever existed, and just count Retaliation as part 1.
I won't spoil anything, but Retaliation does set things up for 1 villain, in general, which would make part 3 very interesting.
I give it a
9/10, due to some stupid things, such as RZA playing the the role of the Blind Master.
The good thing is that he doesn't play a big role in the movie, so I'm not really that upset about it.
It was more like "Really, they chose him to do that?"
Otherwise, the movie was perfect for me.
