G.I. Joe is a movie now

Like a live action one with actual actors. And it entertained me. It wasn’t good by any stretch of the imagination, but I did not want my money back.

Really I didn’t mind the cheese or the bad dialog, because it is G.I. Joe after all. What I did mind is how it falls apart at the end with really bad Star Wars idea ripoffs. It’s also made dumber than you would expect by the inclusion of a whole personal relationship subplot that is complex, silly, and doesn’t fit in the G.I. Joe story very well.

Wait for the DVD. And watch G.I. Joe Resolute first.

    I saw it last night. It was entertaining, but by no means a good movie. The impossible physics of all the “underwater dogfights” is what really bothered me. Unlike (theoretical) aerial or space battles, a submersible cannot simply “fly through” powerful explosions underwater without being crushed by the pressure waves. Just sayin’

    Also didn’t have a generic Latino running the sub.
