It was a pleasure getting to bed early last night, I'll admit.

Oh boy. Out come the bash the movie critics. That didn't take long, have to try to wreck it for everyone else.

Straight up genre films generally get ripped to shreds, for the critics they don't take enough chances or provoke enough thought - just the way it is. Critics that care for "lowbrow" entertainmnet aren't among the most respected, just the way the industry is. And with profit as king, no one wants to take a risk. Sad but true, just because the critics don't like it doesn't mean it won't make money - plenty of examples to the contrary.

I think it will do well, would be good to get some back stories in the next movie to flesh out the characters more and less 2 dimensional as they stand now.

I never felt backstories were that important to the Joe story, character development doesn't require much about where one has been so much as where one is going. A character arc requires growth of somekind, not that the audience understands where they came from only that the see where they began and where they end up.

Near as I can tell, as far as the Joe mythos goes only one back story ever gets an credence and it has been resolved with the new film. For the brand to truly move forward, it's time to shed the ninja fetish.
