The funny part about Jinx and Flint feeling flat was that you still more or less understood the type of characters they were for the most part.
[details=Spoiler] You knew Flint was the type to occasionally disobey orders and do things on his own. Jinx was pretty much the reliable sidekick eyecandy to Snake Eyes that was useful and skilled.
Is it just me though or did they skip some scenes when they cut to Japan and showed Jinx fighting Snake Eyes? Like there was some sort of introduction to Jinx before Snake Eyes appeared.[/details]
its clear they cut some big scenes out, when you watch the credits you see snake eyes bustin out a btwist lol. butttt i think the rza commentary was enough of a intro. snake eyes doesnt think shes ready, young ninja wanting to take on the world.
what they didnt explain is the relationship of his clan and gi joe. i know the relationship but they didnt explain it for people who never seen the comics.
lol they downgraded zartans sword creating skills.
i also liked the fact stormshadow was basically like…non of ya niggas even asked if i killed the old man. so i said fuck it, you all abandoned me so i gave no foks. im wondering if they just retconned the mind control out or saying hes too mentally strong and just went along with it cause the arashikage fucked him over.
I like the whole GI joes in the first movie are some super seekrit team that duke has never heard of… Now in this movie rock is like yea i tried out when the joes were doing their annual try outs in the ghetto…
…
Also It was the dudes very first drop mission or fight or whatever so rock was like put a bullet in your mouth to calm down… Ok time out… Super awesome team, entrusted with protecting the world… And its the dudes first time fighting? seriously?
Anyway it had ninjas, but other than that it was pretty bad lol. Like anytime they started talking I just wished for the movie to be over, I littearlly was bored and just waiting and praying that there were some more ninja fighting… Also convient to put the self destruct button RIGHT next to the launch button eh? Who designed that layout.
I just want to see Sgt. Slaughter put a ninja in a cobra clutch.
Also what has me LOL about some of the lukewarm reviews is how they say “Hardcore” GI Joe fans will be disappointed with this movie when in fact its opposite.
I’d think fans of both would agree the movie was garbage, but if I had to guess I’d say cartoon fans liked it more, because you’d have to be retarded to really enjoy the cartoons now?
yeah…no comic fans loved it too. it wasnt garbage, its a fuckin no brainer summer flick that every fuckin person is trying to dissect to death. everything i complained about was lil nitpicks…overall i loved it and a huge stepup and good direction for the franchise.
The majority of my experience is from Larry Hama’s comic run. This movie had almost no real Joes, no real Cobras, a lame boring plot, a comedic performance by Rza, and a really stupid performance by Bruce Willis. Dwayne had nothing to do the entire movie.
At least the first one was goofy so-bad-its-good entertaining. This one was just an uninspired slog that could’ve been any half-assed straight to video action movie.
Snake Eyes in broad daylight on national tv receiving a medal? gtfo with that shit…
…at least his costume didn’t have lips this time, I’ll give them that.
Just got back from the theaters. The movie sucked pretty hard and I even liked the first one. I also found it funny how in the first movie the GI Joes had no allegiance to any government but in the sequel they are magicly an US special forces unit with no explanation.
