As G.I. Joe begins, you’ll want to remember to turn off your cell phone. And your brain. Either one could cause distractions that will lessen your enjoyment of a movie designed for 12 year olds.
Speaking of which, it’s worth mentioning that this is a movie based on a cheesy cartoon that was designed to sell plastic action figures. For some reason this movie has attracted political cannon fire from both directions. Some people are perplexed that G.I. Joe is now a United Nations team (Globally Integrated Joint Operating Entity), while others see it as imperial American propaganda.
Both groups are spotting the movie about 50 more IQ points than it deserves. A list of improbabilities and silliness in the movie would be pointless, but it’s clearly intended for 12 year olds who won’t ask a lot of questions as long as all buildings have metal interiors and all guns go “bang!” and “pew! pew!”
It’s an OK popcorn movie I guess, but if someone in your house wants to see it consider waiting for the DVD.

When i was a kid, i watched GI Joe animated version on TV all the time. GI Joe Movie is also a very good rendition of the original GI Joe cartoon series.

i love the graphics and special effects on the GI JOE Movie. the story line and action sequences are good too.
Did you people see the same movie I did? I’ve been waiting 25 years for this to come out, and I wish they had waited 26. Even Snake Eyes and his retarted lips were a disappointment. The Baroness was pretty good though, and I like the idea of the sequel dealing with Destro. Of course they’re going to throw history out the window and make up a new origin. I’m surprised they didn’t change his race and gender.
