So when I was a young lad I, like many others, was a GI Joe fan. I watched the cartoon and the feature length animated films religiously. So naturally I was really excited to hear that there was going to be a live action film being make about the "Joes". I was excited until I saw the trailer. Seriously? It looked more corny than squirrel terds. The review confirmed my fears. Both new comers and old school fans agreed that this film was covered in cheese. To be honest, I forgot about the movie until I started looking for titles that I've missed in the theater and haven't bother to pick up. So my netflix que finally got around to G.I. Joe. I was actually excited to see it. I had forgotten what crap I was convinced it was. Well the film was a great reminder. Super-suits? Pulse Cannons? Nanobots? Its like they took every lame gimmick from Jackie Chan movie's and combined them into this one. I know I'm being harsh and there are some really neat parts. Snake eyes was probably the best part of the entire movie and he didn't have any lines... I am glad that they got "knowing is half the battle" in there. Oh the good 'ol days.
Oh well,
Cobra!
