A waste of what could have potentially been a great action flick

It's hard to believe this was actually written by someone despite what it said in the opening credits. I like the first movie, for whatever it's worth it, it actually had a story and characters that you can invest in for 2 hours...This on the other hand makes State Of The Union an exceptional effort in comparison and it's such a shame cause you can see glimpses of the great film it could have been.

Anytime Donnie Yen, Deepika and Vin were on screen together, you forgot that you were watching an awful movie for a second, but then it got back to the actual film with a non existent story and characters which makes G.I. Joe cartoons look realistic.

They should have gone back to the drawing board with this one. Keep Donnie Yen as the anti xXx and Deepika as the femme fatal partner, that was a really good idea. Throw everything else out the window and replace it with a better movie. Get rid of the falling satellites McGuffin, the annoying tech girl, the guy who's fun to be around or something, the guy crashing cars, Tony Jaa with the hair and the other guy and Neymar. Make Vin Diesel the lone wolf like the first film who pursues these notorious terrorists, keep the twist where they team up at the end to stop the real sinister force but make it part of a much better movie!!!
