Chris’ Review:
Hello folks and welcome to another addition of movie reviews with me. This review is for a movie I personally wanted to see roughly 25 years ago but had to wait. That’s right I am a proud fan of the G.I. Joe cartoons. I even got the magazine for awhile. If that hasn’t caused you to stop reading then I appreciate the fan support. Here goes with the review.
The basic plot is fairly standard for the parties involved. Bad guys want to do horrible things to the world for their own benefit and the good guys want to stop them to keep us all safe. If you decide to watch this movie you must first suspend your rational mind. The weapon itself is quasi acceptable but the multiprong attack setup at the end along with the extent of the enemy stronghold is pretty painful. Now I like a good action movie and the sight of things blowing up makes me a little giddy. But even I have my limits. This movie would have been better if they had cut out about a half hour of boom boom and tried to make a plot that could hold together for more than about 10 seconds. Oh and try to get a bad guy who doesn’t drip puddles of jackass with every step. The acting in general wasn’t bad. The film work was quality and the effects, although a little too long, were good. Only a few quotable lines that don’t make you sound like a douche bag when you use them. Overall I give this movie 3.9 stars.
Toni’s Review:
Okay. Loyal readers, I apologize for the lack of review for several months. I have been struggling to find a way to break it to you gently but I cannot.
THIS MOVIE SUCKS! This movie raped my eyes.
I tried to watch it with Chris and his family in January and lost interest ten minutes after it began. I tried, again, to watch it with my husband and both of us were bored and making fun of the film within FIVE minutes.
I hate this movie. HATE. And I want to weep at the thought that the studio is making a sequel. I won’t even dignify it with a rating.
