Reports already coming in: GI Joe sucks

[EternalHorn]

This does not surprise:

The Link

At least he didn't really dump on my man Joey. I'd have to kill him if he did.

from rainn wilson's (dwight schrute on the office) twitter:

"Does the 'cash for clunkers' program extend to ticket refunds for "GI JOE: RISE OF COBRA"?"

The scary thing is that you only give it a title like that if you intend to make a sequel.

I'm almost intrigued to go see it b/c it looks amazingly bad. How did they not pull the plug on this at some point and just cut their losses?

THis looks so bad i actually want to see it.

Hey, not every superhero movie can be as good as The Dark Knight.

The only movie I almost walked out of was Starship Troopers. This movie looks worse. Sadly they will make money off of it.

 

[ACuriae]

Starship Troopers was so bad it was good. Not like Waterworld. So the question is whether G.I. Joe will be Starship G.I. Joe or G.I. Joeworld.

 

[YoLaDu]

starship troopers was aewesome.

Looks like it is making a crap ton of money this weekend. Thought for sure it would tank. Hollywood loves big openings, should be a second one in the works.

GI JOE

On twitter the reviews aren't too bad. most seem to be saying it isn't great but is good summer fare.

Transformers 2. GI Joe.

The summer of 09 is the year they officially ruined my childhood. Maybe if they made another He-Man starring Fabio, it would complete the trifecta of crap.

 

[Colonel Sanders]

This review is dead on. This is one of the worst movies of all time.

The He-man movie ruined my childhood DURING my childhood.

 

[Hornswaggled]

I didn't think it was that bad. It was by no means on par with previous summer fare such as Iron man. but it was an engaging and fun summer popcorn flick. have any of you bemoaning how terrible it is, seen it? or are you just going by reviews and expectations?

I was sitting just outside the doors to the theater showing it while waiting for another film and saw an endless stream of gangstas and their idiot girlfriends and already retarded kids going in last night.

Where do these idle loafers get the money for all the ugly tattoos and goofy clothes? I never see any of them working. And can't imagine anybody in their right mind hiring them.

Do they pay wages for being on probation or parole? Do the beer companies pay them to sample their products? Do the Cowboys hire them to wear their logo paraphernalia?

Later, sitting in the theater next door I heard a lot of thunderous noise and explosions coming from the film and wondered why anybody would want to watch two hours of this mindless junk.

And then I thought that the government has to have some cannon fodder for the next Imperial Adventure overseas and thought of the gangstas' kids and how the steady diet of violence and porn they get on tv and at the multiplex will make them perfect recruits for the military and prison-industrial complex and it all made sense.

And who wouldn't want to serve in the same unit with GI Jane? At least I guess that was who the woman in the ads was supposed to be.

Welfare.

"it was an engaging and fun summer popcorn flick."

It's been my experience that "fun summer popcorn flick" is code for "a steaming, unwatchable pile of dogshit".

I can confirm the suckitude. I took the boy last night. He says he liked it, but wasn't as excited by it, during and after, as he has been about other movies. But, then again, he is 11.
