Spoilers! G.I. Joe was one of those movies that looked awesome because of all the action in the previews. But that was one of the deal breakers for me. There were waaaaay too many explosions. Everything exploded, everywhere... I've never seen so much stuff get blown up in one movie. At some points it was hard to follow all the action (granted, I was watching it on the computer so not the best quality) At the same time some of it was pretty great. Personally I think my favorite fight scenes were between the ninja brothers. <.<; Storyline was alright. Protect these bombs someone made for us, get bombs stolen by the creators, try and steal them back, blow up half a continent in the process, reveal some twists, finally save the world, and every good guy lives to tell about it. Why didn't the creators develop the bombs (or make extra) and just use them? Did I miss something there? Ripcord should of died. His jet was COVERED in the nanobots and it came out alright. But those same nanobots take down the tower in Paris in a few seconds. Rex's character is shallow. The G.I. Joe team is a joke. Leader: "G.I. Joe doesn't exist, but if it did (blah blah)." Duke: "I want in" Leader: "You don't ask to be in G.I. Joe you get asked." -Minute later- "You're in." Even if Duke technically was qualified then what about Ripcord? A secret government group doesn't just say "You're in" and divulge all their information. They also didn't use the suits very much... I liked those suits. Oh well, it was worth the watch. I like the technology used in it. |

It's not the type of film I usually go for. Personally I prefer dramas or at least deep action films. |

Give me explosions, fart jokes, and aliens over drama, cop movies or mobster movies, I dun like them much. I just watched the movie yesterday at the theater and I thought it was ok. I thought the flashbacks were a nice addition and added some extra depth to the characters, particularly Snake Eyes seeing as how his dialogue gave nothing. I did find the plot weak. A grudge that took 700 or so years to complete... the fact that it lasted that long amazes me and why he just didn't plant a bomb in France and call it even is beyond me. Why not do something in either of the World Wars, France was ripe for the picking then! In the skirmish at the begining where the soldiers were attacked by the evil guys cyborg army (who look the characters from Army of Two) with their pulse weaponry, which had been downsized to pistol form while remaining top secret, and the Joe's came and saved the missiles why did they take Duke and Ripcord to their secret base and revealed the identity of their top secret military operation, then say "no you can't join". I fail to see any point to any of that! Is the genius lady THAT stupid! In fact how could McCullin's secret operation remain secret, with this whole army that could leak intel! How could the money needed to build this underwater base go unnoticed! The building of it again went unnoticed... HOW CAN THAT WHOLE OPERATION BE SECRET! WHY DO THE ARMIES STILL HAVE TECHNOLOGY THAT IS BEHIND THE MERCS AND THE JOE'S! WHY ARE THERE ONLY 4 JOE'S ON FIELD MISSIONS! 37 ARMIES AND THEY CAN ONLY PUT UP 4 SOLDIERS! Why did it take me this long to realize caps lock was on! (Nobody answer that) Duke's a pussy. He can't face his bride to be because her brother died in an op that the air force screwed up. He drives by the funeral on his bike, stops, keeps going. The characters for for Anna, Rex and Duke alll sucked. In fact, they all did. White Shadow and McCullin are both petty assholes. Scarlet, despite being a supposed genius is really an idiot (she rides a bike into a combat situation with no armor). Ripcord gets jet certified every chance he gets and dreams of flying fighters... yet remains infantry... even though hes filled out the transfer papers and everything... it's as if he can't live without Duke. Snake Eyes was a 10 year old white urchin living in Japan who also knows martial arts at that age, which makes no sense to me. |

DH ain't THAT bad. I don't watch it regularly, but I wouldn't even say it's over-the-top. I just don't get how it's considered a comedy...I've never ever laughed at any joke they've tried to deliver. |

When I said "Desperate Housewhores", I meant a porn movie. A random one. With "things exploding everywhere". GOD I AM SO MISUNDERSTOOD |
