G.I. Joe

Kinda loved the movie. Haha.

(There will be spoilers!)

First off, I'd like to thank Amanda Tiaoqui for getting me and my brother our tickets. Couldn't have done it without you best friend :D

Again, I loved the movie. I read one review where they said that the movie was the live-action version of the cartoon. Yes. Correct. The beginning, the attack on the convoy escorting the "nanomites" could've easily been something they took from the cartoons. The fight scenes were so bad ass too. Snake-Eyes vs Storm Shadow, past and present, AWESOME. Scarlet and Baroness, I can watch the two of you fight all day. Eventually, they'd have to lose all of their clothes right? Duke was such a boy scout too, haha. Wish I saw more Joes, even just shout-outs to the others like Wild Bill, Bazooka, Ace, hell, they could've added Snow Job or Iceberg or any of the underwater Joes (Deep Six, Wetsuit) for the fight in the arctic and Dusty or Cross-Country in the Pit fight.

The vehicles were amazing! I wish they had included some Trouble Bubbles but seeing an actual Night Raven was cool. Loved the Cobra M.A.R.S. warship during the convoy fight.

People actually died in this movie. (Cover Girl?!) The Neo-Vipers (was that what they were called?) reminded me of the B.A.T.S. from the series.

Loved Zartan and Destro. Loved seeing Dr. Mindbender. I wish we had gotten a classic Cobra Commander laugh at the end ("You can call me, COMMANDER! Muwahahahahaha!" That's not so hard is it?) but I liked how creepy he was.

And dude, was that Brendan Fraser as FLINT?? LOL.

Anyway, the acting was kinda bad (Mr. Eko was awesome and if you weren't awesomed by him, shame on you) but hot damn all I wanted to see was the fights and the lasers and the over-the-top villains and world domination schemes (this was actually pretty crafty, better than the MASS device and the weather dominator).

Loved the cast, the whole cast. Love'em all. Ray Park is a god. Rachel Nichols and Sienna Miller are too hot and Channing Tatum was serviceable. I agree the Marlon Wayans and Nichols did not have good chemistry but Wayans seems like a nice guy and I love the he was part of a summer blockbuster. Christopher Eccleston was so over-the-top, it was awesome. Breaker was cool too. General Hawk! My man. I just loved this movie.

The final word? Star Trek then G.I. Joe then Transformers 2. Good job to Paramount haha.

Can't wait for the sequel.
