Okay, I read the reviews from adult critics, non-Joe fans & Joe fans. It seems 50/50. Some loved it, some hated it. But this is what I really wanna know, how do the kids like it? Are the figures going to fly off the shelves? Is GI Joe going to become as popular as Transformers?
I don't really care what adults have to say about it, I wanna know how the kids feel about it. |

My oldest boy is 5 years old and all he has done since seeing the movie is talking about it. He absolutely loved it and wants to see it again. He has a few of the movie figures and is now fast asleep holding his duke and cobra commander figures. He played himself to sleep. <this is the only review I need.

My friend's 2 kids were already trying to hunt down their "new favorite" heroes...The 3 year old girl managed to get a Reactive Armor Scarlett but her 5 year old brother can't find a Snake Eyes. I'd want to help out since I know a few places with a Snake Eyes, but mistake #1 that I made was I showed their dad (my friend) a picture of my Paris Pursuit Snake Eyes and he wanted that one. lol that's tougher to find here right now! Especially once the collectors found out that a Gray Timber pack-in means the SE is a variant (I never actually found out until after I opened mine).
It's just fun to see these kids running around trying to get who they liked in the film. When they grow up they're gonna laugh at some of the stuff in this movie, but still remember how much they treasured that experience. I know cause I went through the same thing with Street Fighter, lol |

Why is it that the haters were the ones that had the people in the theater that thought about walking out or the kids making jokes?
Just an observation.
