I mean, there are very few people here who seem to understand how silly this all is. This movie however? It takes itself about as seriously as cancer, and it manages to actually be even more stupid as a result. I know people didn't like the first film, but at least that movie knew it was silly and ran with it. My biggest issue with the film is that it's tone is way too serious for half the crap that's going on here. I wasn't bored, but I certainly wasn't thrilled at any point during it. I thought it was whatever "check your brain" entertainment. On paper this should have been a good, fun film. Cobra didn't even exist when SS was a kid. As for the Storm Shadow/Zartan stuff - I just don't get it. The promotional stuff for Firefly kept drumming up the fact that he was ex-Joe but it's never brought up once in the film. Mouse is the youngest rookie of the bunch, he gets a nice moment with Roadblock and then never mentioned again once the Joe's start getting blasted. The premier bad guy of the movie and the moment his scheme falls apart he just casually strolls into his helicopter and fucks off with 20 minutes of movie to spare.Ĭharacters like Firefly and Mouse are set up with no pay off whatsoever.

No "I'll get you next time, Joesss!!", no hint at breaking out Destro or the Baroness. They should have just kept Duke alive because all the good Joe character stuff was with the Rock and Channing Tatum.Īlso Cobra Commander just up and fucked off. For instance: Flint looks like an interesting character in the trailers but then does seriously nothing in the entire movie except for perv on Lady Jaye in a really weird moment.

There's a bunch of stuff in the trailers that doesn't make it into the movie. I feel like there must be an hour of footage that ended up on the cutting room floor. Retaliation was all over the fucking shop. It also tells a story that's pretty to the point (except for the Snake Eyes/Storm Shadow and Duke/Baroness/Cobra Commander backstories). It is by no means a good movie but it is enjoyable silly. When I saw the first movie in the cinema I had a hell of a lot of fun.
