Exactly. I think the critics that panned it forget that this movie really is supposed to be for kids (both in age and in spirit). I thought this movie was like a seven year old's greatest GI Joe fantasy.

That's also why I think Transformers 2 failed in every way except the special effects -- the movie was filled with nothing but sex, cock and sack jokes throughout. Personally I don't remember ever having one of my Transformers humping the leg of someone.

But yeah, GI Joe was spot on. Really fun stuff.

OH! And was that Jinx in the original scene with the camo suit? Dude, if she dons the red outfit for the sequel it's gonna be way too sweet.

(And Brendan Frasier was Falcon, right?)
 
Finally saw it. Yeah, I had a GI Joe doll (who was in constant battle with his nemesis, Steve Austin. Hey, it was the seventies).

I was surprised at how bad the effects were. Bad light matching, unstable match-moves, feet that didn't line up with the floor, bad keying, wrong perspectives. Very, very bad. Story was as I expected.

My kid wasn't interested at all, and wanted to see the "evil robots" movie again instead (Terminator Salvation).

Speaking of Terminator, that had some bad compositing too (but nowhere near as bad as GI Joe). Surprising for a film at that level.

Ignorance truly is bliss. I thought it looked great on the big screen and can't wait to get it on Bluray.
 
Oh, I still enjoyed it (for the effects). And they were pushing the envelope with the amount of CG work and effects so can be forgiven. I probably learned more from seeing the mistakes because I was able to figure out a lot easier how things were done.

It's funny because I get these movies "for the kids", but I'm the only one who watches them.
 
The blu ray audio is awesome, I have two velodyne 18" digital drive subwoofers in my home theater and this movie shakes the concrete foundation. Loudest bru ray I have.
 
G.I. Joe was the worst movie I have seen in a very long time. I rented it for $1 at Red Box and wanted that sh!t back. just horrible in every aspect.

Anyone who would say that must be in cahoots with Cobra Command. :grin::grin:

Snow day! I'm gonna have to fire up the Bluray.
