It was actually pretty decent, maybe like a 6.4/10 kind of movie. I thought it was better than Transformers 2 since it at least didn't contain too much forced humor or felt like it dragged on. Of course the movie still have it share of cheesy moments and corny dialogue (though it has it moments like the "knowing is half the battle" reference), but I guess that was to be expected. Don't expect the same level of quality CGI as in the other recent summer blockbusters though. Additionally, I never followed the cartoon too much when I was a kid so I'm not too sure how faithful the movie is though.

Snake Eyes in my opinion made the movie. He was the epitome of badassness. Unlike those other Joes, he didn't need fancy weapons (although Scarlett's crossbow was cool) or accelerator suits. He only need his shurikens, pistol, and katana to get the job done. In every scene he was in, he always demonstrated his quality.
Instead of mindlessly staring at the fired warheads, Snake Eye took action by rushing back to that snow speeder thing and then shooting one of them down.


Another thing, I like the Darth Maul references since Ray Park plays Snake Eyes.
* Wielding the double sided electric baton like the doubled bladed lightsaber
* Sith robes (what's the explanation for this?)
* Standing by General Hawk's side like he's some sort of dark apprentice for Palpatine
* Ray Park not being able to talk at all

Oh and a sequel has already been confirmed before the movie was released. You can kind of see it being hinted at the end of the movie too.

For someone that isn't familiar with GI Joe whatsoever, is there a reason for seeing the film besides 90 minutes of Sienna Miller in skintight leather?

I'm not familiar with G.I. Joe / I'm seeing it in 20 minutes, will comment afterwards

It was totally like Star Wars but with a ****ton more explosions and very cheesy for a 2009 film <_<

The comic and cartoon were ridiculously cheesy. I'm guessing they've probably hit the mark, but I've yet to see the movie.



Since I haven't seen the movie I'll just comment on this one - Snake Eyes was never able to talk in the comic or cartoon. The reasons for this have been retconned a few times but involves either being shot in his face or having something explode in his face.

Ewww.

Tibby's thinking about the last time something exploded in his face. >.>

MMMM *slerp*

I can't decide whether to see this or not. I suppose I will if some friends want to.

I'll go see it with you.. but you'll have to come pick me up. >.>

I'm halfway there.

Cheesy action (but good) and dialogue with ninjas thrown in. I'm not too familiar with the source material either. And yeah, props go to the costume designers for being able to enhance Sienna Miller's cleavage since she was never known for being that "big" in the first place.

"big," nice, very subtle

vs


Doesn't look like the had to add all that much.

Maybe that second picture isn't her, but even if it isn't, she's not particularly "big" lololol in her costume.

It isn't.

Wow, that belt buckle is great

Is that a gucci belt? must have!!

Maybe the two of you have a thing in common

Yes. Small breasts.
