So, what were you expecting...pure genius?
I have seen the bad reviews and I agree, but what did you set out to watch? Did you expect some mix of Platoon with The Matrix?
This is more like "Inspector Gadget" meets "Transformers."
Set your expectations where they belong...low ...( read more) -

By far, one of the worst films of the decade.
For start, it's absolutely boring. Visual effects are disgustingly awful and look like a 90's videogame from start to finish. Every single performance is completely out of tone with the movie: Channing Tatum thinks he's in some sort ...( read more) -

Critic Reviews
Basically Team America: World Police played straight and minus the political edge. full review
I could load you up with more plot details, but this mercilessly incoherent, galactically stupid movie left me too numb to type. full review
G.I. Joe is a loud but proficient slab of explode-o-rama summer blockbuster nonsense, perfectly entertaining if you like that sort of thing, extremely skippable if you don't. full review
It is sure to be enjoyed by those whose movie appreciation is defined by the ability to discern that moving pictures and sound are being employed to depict violence. full review

There is an inertia born of ceaseless, stupefying animation. full review

August 15, 2009So over the top bad that this was actually enjoyable fun to watch.
If you go in to just enjoy the ride and remember this ISN'T based in reality then you'll be fine.
I think too many people pick this movie apart and forget what playing GI Joes was when you were a kid which was to use your imagination, your Joes could jump from the floor to the couch and there was nothing they couldn't do and in alot of ways that's what this movie is. -

August 9, 2009Why can't they just leave things alone. Everything isn't meant to be remade, revamped and brought to a movie theater.
