GI Joe

Not as bad as Batman and Robin.

But its pretty bad.

Some of the dialogue is laugh out loud awful, and most of the time the story line is pretty silly, but the action scenes are cool if you don't think about them too much (how are they screaming under water? And, for that matter, how are so many things burning? Under water? Don't think about it. Just don't think about it.)

Anytime the ninjas were on screen it was cool. Snake eyes was awesome, and his fight scenes with Storm Shadow were intense.

The rest...well, try not to think about it too much, or you'll find yourself wondering just how someone becomes a low level maintenance tech on a sonic pulse cannon hidden on a secret evil base deep in the arctic ocean.

Seriously, did they place a want ad? Craig's list? Evil Merchant Marine?

Also, if you eject while the plane is currently out of the atmosphere don't you just...die? Float and die?

These are just some of the questions I pondered during the course of the movie, despite my attempts at trying not to think about it.


Also, that whole, "I was forced to do it by the millions of tiny, evil, nano machines in my brain" is like the oldest line in the book. Its up there with the twinkie defense.

I think that this will be off of my list of things to see.
