So I watched G.I. Joe yesterday, and I have concluded that this summer’s movies sucked! G.I. Joe was alright. Nothing too spectacular. It’s not as bad as I thought it was though. I was told that during the screening, the movie was so bad that some critics just walked out of the movie theater. How true this is, I don’t know but you can imagine how low my expectations were. And it definitely did better than I expected it. If my rating means anything (which is doesn’t), I would give it 2 out of 5 stars.
The movie would be worth it if it wasn’t soo long. I don’t get why movies are so long now a days. You got Transformers that would never freaking end, and although I liked Funny People, it could have been shorter. Anyways, back to G.I. Joe. What really confused me was the outfits … I remember G.I. Joe action figures to be less sci-fi and more patriotic. I don’t get where this new theme came from. The new advancements were pretty cool, but the action sucked. If the action was more intense and/or interesting, it would have been a winner. I’m talking to long. Let me break it up.
What I liked:
- Sienna Miller’s hotness
- The G.I. Joe suits
What I disliked specifically:
- The way the plot unfolded. It was rather … retarded. Watch the movie you’ll see what I mean. Especially the way the flashbacks were presented … that was just Wow
- Marlon Wayans jokes. I love Marlon Wayans but his jokes were terrible in this movie. He came out as a fruit
- The main action sequence (the one in Paris). I don’t know if it’s just me but it was way shittier than the way the trailer depicted it. And what the heck was up with Scarlett … the motorcycle scene was soo unrealistic
- The ending credits soundtrack … seriously?! Was that the best they could find.
Overall the movie really sucked in my opinion. It’s probably worth 1 watch .. but I don’t know if I would be willing to pay to see that. Luckily I get to see movies for free on Tuesdays! Yay Optimum!
