I know there has been a lot of negativity surrounding this movie, but I've got to say that it was pretty awesome. As a long time JOE fan I was not disappointed, there are some hardcore JOE fans that may be really hard to please and yes there was a few minor changes made but it's not a big deal people need to get over it and lighten up. I'm going to see it again tomorrow and I can't wait for the sequel. This isn't an academy award winning movie and it's not meant to be, it's just meant to be a fun movie for G.I. JOE fans and for me it was well worth the wait.

Popcorn action flicks should never be taken so seriously. Thanks for the review man.

The movie was fairly decent. Way better than I expected being a full fledged Joe fan. There was a lot of misses though that I didn't like at all but I'd give it a solid B rating

not trying to be a jerk, but could the marketing make this look any more awful?

What was Cobra Commander like in the movie? Was he done well? What about his mask and voice? Does it live up to the 80's cartoon? I thought he was pretty awesome myself. Seeing as how CC is my favorite JOE character I was a little disappointed for his lack of screen time but it was really the only way they could set up his character. There was one line in the film where he says "The Joe's will never know what hit them", that was actually my favorite line in the movie because it reminded me so much of something CC from the original cartoon would say. I would say he's more like the CC from The Resolute cartoon but had a touch of the 80s in there as well and it worked out really good. I was really skeptical of Joseph Gordon Levitt being cast as CC, but he did a really good job. You can't even tell it's him. I look forward to seeing a more developed Cobra Commander in the sequel though.

I'll see it soon hopefully. I have to. GI Joe was a HUGE part of my childhood.

Honestly, it looks pretty bad to me. And it baffles me why i'm seeing so much advertisment for it, when G.I. Joe was never popular in the UK.

I will see it because it is G.I. Joe. It looks bad, but the reviews have been kinder than I expected.

I look forward to seeing a more developed Cobra Commander in the sequel though. SPOILERS: DON'T CONTINUE IF YOU HATE SPOILERS(even though I am still going to dumb it down so it wont be completely spoiled) Agreed the character development with CC was pretty damn good and will only continue into the sequel. I just wish that he was CC for more time in the movie. The gripes I had with this movie are plentiful but I still enjoyed it very much. -I loved the fact that lines were corny becuase it was just like it was in the cartoon. -The Brendan Fraiser cameo was pretty pointless but i am super glad he did not have a bigger role. - The deaths in the movie were both kind of shitty in my eyes. 1 was pointless and rather quick and the final one was like a "come on" type of moment. - I hated the backstory with Baroness/Duke - Some of the CGI effects were blatantly obvious and looked cartoonish but most of it was pretty sweet. Cant wait for this on Blu - Zartan was brilliantly played and Destro was badass to fullest extent - Was not a fan of Storm Shadow. - Rachel Nichols was great as Scarlett and played the part extremely well - I didn't mind some of Ripcord's one liners because it wasnt overbearing like it was in so many of the Wayan's brothers films - Sienna Miller played the Baroness roel to a "T." and was smoking hot during her scenes. Is way hotter as a brunette. - I felt there was a lack of minor role Joes. - Everytime I saw Channing Tatum I couldn't stop seeing the similarities to John Cena's shitting acting - I didn't mind JGL as CC - Can't wait for the sequel

The dialog is HORRIBLE!, but anyone that watched the trailers could tell that. That being said, I really enjoyed it. This is big summer action at its best.

I agree, Chaffing Taintum looks and sounds exactly like John Cena, and probably acts just as shitty.
I don't know if I'll be seeing this, may just wait for the 'Basterds.

The kid from Step Up being in it instantly makes me refuse. This. Also the Wayans guy. Makes the movie look pathetic from the get go.
