[...] the new film, GI Joe: Rise of Cobra, is a despicable excuse for a movie. It was harshly panned by Big Hollywood as well as by me. For an action film, it is horrible, but for an American film, it is a [...]

Live action versions of the toys? You mean all the guys in the undifferentiated, bulky, black suits? I don't remember the toys looking like that.

"Right. Because we had so many of those."

Actually, we did. Just not ones where we were supposed to enjoy ourselves. Rather, we were expected to cry, rub our hands and gnash our teeth.

I'm betting on "American battleship captain goes rogue and has to be hunted down" ("Hunt For Red October" with a role-reversal), with "neo-Nazi pirates steal a battleship" as a runner-up alternative.

Because if recent movies have taught me anything, it's that We Are Our Own Worst Enemy. Well, that and There Is No Such Thing As Al-Qaeda.

Well, I will be saving money this summer and adding this to the list of the movies I won't see. Sorry you had to endure the screening. Actually, the first two paragraphs of your review did it for me. I'm tired of giving money to people who think my views and values are moronic. I'll just withold a little capital from them.

The film had a lot of problems, not only bad acting, major story plot holes, and the suspension of belief in human nature. Basically the only reason someone joins Cobra is by being brain washed by nanites injected at the base of the skull. Add in that the characters only resemble their toy counter parts by the names they call each other and you have total fail in terms of movie making.

Ray Parks was the only person who portrayed his character well, but even then they couldn't leave Snake Eyes costume alone they had to add LIPS to his mask. That showed me that the director had no clue about the original characters and their back grounds.

Bottom line don't see this movie if you have ever even seen a picture of the original G.I.Joe.
