GI Joe likes big fists.

I was actually kinda looking forward to it cause it's directed by the guy who did The Mummy. And I liked that quite a bit even if it was a total ripoff of Indiana Jones.
But it's probably gonna suck anyway.

It wasn't nearly as terrible as I was expecting it to be. That said, it was quite far from good. A few drinks were consumed by myself and friend prior to watching it over lunch and I think that helped the overall enjoyment of the film.

I would gladly watch GI Joe again before I would ever subject myself to Transformers 1 or 2 though.

It was a silly, fun flick. Nothing to rave about - some of the CGI was like you were watching a PS3 game.

Hot people in tight costumes - saving the planet.

Plot holes galore - and lots of open threads that lead to a sequel. The clue's in the title: "Rise of Cobra" - Cobra aren't even seen until the last 5 minutes.

Sienna Miller is nice. The guns and suits and military are cheese. Lots of things go boom.

It's Team America on steroids really.

With all this discussion of GI Joe I remembered this humorous piece from McSweeney's a few years back. Worth a read.
