Entertaining in parts but a mess of a plot with some shoddy visual effects even by 2009 standards. Some stunt work was alright but nothing that really stands out and none of the cast really were all that memorable. Did appreciate some of the nods to the cartoons but otherwise just very forgettable. 2.75/5

People like me were waiting for a GI Joe movie for decades. It was instead kind of a hack that could have been any other movie. I don't think that the distaste came from the fact that the movie could never live up to memories of childhood play.

It hardly even resembled the cartoon.

Poor excuse for a movie. Well i watched this movie last night. And i think i'm developing a bit of esp, because this junk is getting easier to spot as it appears on the horizon. For example, when i first heard of this movie i though "oh no, another America movie, by some American company, trying to make as much money as they can, over-using cgi, and totally destroying a good thing, that being the original G. I. Joe cartoon". After watching the film that followed the usual modern day formula for a story: -BEGINNING- hype some silly problem (the missiles, you might have heard) -MIDDLE- send in captain CGI to save the day, and -END- advertise for the next installation of the film. It leaves nothing left to say except that my initial thought was right, oh, and please don't waste your time making G. I. Joe 2.
