Maybe there's a reason that they decided to skip critics screening, deciding, wisely i might add, that they'd vote unanimously that this film is xi bei jia lat. i.e. really damnably bad.
I've enjoyed stephen sommers movies in the past - the mummy series and the scorpion king, but g.i joe suffers from bad pacing, really crummy casting and stupendously sub standard computer graphics. The lead especially is just gut wrenchingly wooden and i'm dumbfounded at the casting of marlon wayans. Just looking at wayans with the redhead, made me think of wayans in the white chicks. oh yeah! she looks like the wayans brother. well done casting....
This movie would satisfy the young average movie goer, but if you're looking for a grittier gi joe, which from the recent trends of comic- movie adaptations was what i expected, this isn't it. For the kids, it'll probably be a blast.
