I saw the movie last night and I can say that I really enjoyed it. There's one thing that happens in the movie that really pissed me off though. This one was better than the first one and stayed true to the cartoon as possible. Cobra Commander stole the show for me. I loved the way they made his character in the movie. I really hope they do a third one.

I think it was better than the first, but still ehhhh. Lady Jaye was cool, Storm Shadow, Snake Eyes, Cobra Commander and Firefly but the rest were....

The biggest problem for me was the lack of individuality for the Joes. Where were the specialized skills and the characterizations? G.I. Joe is a ragtag special forces of the best of the best in their respective fields, and that's what's still missing from the Joe team. My only other gripe is that there were many opportunities to include more of the G.I. Joe universe, that were not capitalized on. The beginning, who is "Mouse"? Why not make that Dusty, Cutter, Recondo? Gen Colton's team could've been Sgt Slaughter, Beachhead, Doc, etc

Didn't see the first but this one looked good.

Was completely average IMO. Would not recommend.

do not watch this movie...It is worst than the first one.

First one was better. Too choppy. It did not flow right.

Cobra commander was under used. He said like 5 - 10 sentences.

HOw did storm shadow survive the first one? Didn't he die?

Only thing good about it was looking at Lady Jaye. She did not use any javelins
