I wish I had my $13.00 back. My mind cannot be made clean again. For entertainment sake, I wish I had taken my wife to see Julie and Julia or instead gone to Target and bought a new toy.
Don't see it unless you need to confirm for yourself just how bad it could be. You've already seen most of the only enjoyable things in the film from countless trailers and commercials: Sienna Miller as the Baroness and the Paris chase scene. I feel like it's 1986-1987 all over again. Transformers gets the cool movie with Orson Wells and Leonard Nimoy and G.I.Joe gets Don Johnson and Burgess Meredith. First off, I saw it this morning with my wife at a 9:40 digital presentation. My wife, we barely knows who the main characters are, and barely watched the cartoon as a child, and not with me, groaned at every bad one lines or supposed fan boy reference. She also wants to know why Scarlet's "flak jacket" has built-in c-cups. Those are her words. She loves Kevin Smith, likes Star Trek, can enjoy Star Wars and enjoyed Transformers II more than she liked the first and she liked the first one. She loved Die Hard. So she isn't anti-sci fi or anti-geek. I thoughts some of the acting was terrible. Wayans, Eccleston, Taghmaoui, and Miller were good. Nichols was bad. The others looked like they were acting over the top. The CGI was bad. The scenes in the desert near the PIT were bad. I wish they would have just used semi-realistic technology for the G.I.Joe planes. The Osprey like jet things looked silly. The PIT looked unbelievable. The scene where they took the heavy elevator and Hawk explains what G.I.Joe is made me laugh out loud. Full underwater exercises in a underwater lake. The levels looked impossibly big. I also disliked the Neo-Viper concept. Why has Hasbro been stuck on Neo-Vipers since 2002. The fact they were basically invulnerable to flames or heavy blunt trauma or heavy weapons fire was ridiculous. The fact that each Cobra had a pulse cannon or magetic rail-gun or whatever they had didn't make the seem dangerous or threatening. It just made G.I.Joe seem pointless. I hated the underwater battle. I liked Snake-Eyes and the mouth thing didn't bother me. I liked Wayans as Ripcord. I liked Quaid as Hawk. I said this when I reviewed the novelization. Fans of the Sunbow cartoon will recognize and like this G.I.Joe. Fans of the Marvel comic will probably groan. To be fair, I never liked the cartoon and I had origin films. I wondered aloud with my wife if the fans who said they enjoyed this movie are merely suffering from fanboy delusions. They want their beloved property to be loved and respected that they cannot accept to see it besmirched or criticized. They want their movie to be enjoyed and be successful to be validated in some way. This is a film for those under 12. It was well made 2 hour toy commercial. Those kids will like the one-liners. Those kids will snap up the toys. Me, I will not buy any more movie figures than what I already did: Helix, wave 1 Stormshadow, Baroness, and Snake-Eyes, Desert Scarlet and Paris Snake-Eyes. There may be a sequel, but the fans who liked it will have to hope that the Saturday grosses don't drop precipitously from the Friday grosses. |

If that movie was called "Elite Combat" and didnt have anything to do with GIJOE it'd still suck. Plot was that of crap, acting for the most part.... CRAP... CGI in most parts... CRAP. The viper costues were of the suck. Concept behind the soldiers and the nanobytes... not bad.
My son was bored and was ready to go home... I kept looking at my watch cause I was ready to go myself. Didn't stay to see if there was anything after the credits roll by.... didn't care either. If Larry Hama signed off on this.... it'd make me puke. THE BEST THING TO HAPPEN TO GIJOE THIS YEAR? RESOLUTE!!!!! |

Its enjoyable as a silly scifi/fantasy movie for kids first. Ive always liked the toys more than the Sunbow cartoon, the comics and this movie anyway. Ive mostly skipped ROC toys because I like the old school look better. Heres hoping everybody else will like it and they will make part 2 better and pump out more 25th figs along with the movie stuff
I Dont hate it but I wouldnt watch it ever again. |

I saw the movie yesterday with my wife at the 7:15pm showing. The theater is medium sized and it was about 70% full. The audience had very few children. Most of the crowd were groups of teenagers around 13 to 16 years old. They were grouped in packs and it looked like date night or something like that. There were maybe 4 kids under 13 in the audience that I noticed.
I wouldn't say I hated the movie, but I didn't like it either. The CGI was not great and some scenes were downright awful. The Paris Pursuit scene for example was so obviously CGI it was dreadful. The cast was all over the place in acting skills. Quaid was really awful I thought. The PIT scene was ridiculous. It didn't seem believable in the least. During the opening battle scene people in the audience starting laughing when Heavy Duty started the hologram projector and Hawk popped up. There was laughing during several parts of the film, and not the good kind. People were actually laughing about how bad those particular scenes were. I hated the storyline between CC, Duke and The Baroness. I hated Snake Eyes lips, they looked ridiculous. I hated the plot, if you can call it that. I hated most of it I guess. I even thought the fight scenes between SE and SS were not all that. Honestly I've seen better fights in all of the Transporter movies. The entire movie was disappointing. I just can't believe there are people that actually say they liked it. Last edited by Life4Dreadnok; 08-09-2009 at 08:30 PM.. |
