Although, GI Joe received a lot of bad feedback from the critics (what a surprise!), the general movie goers actually had fun watching the movie. I personally expected to be disappointed based on the trailers, but I was wrong. Sure, the costumes look cheesy, and Channing Tatum can’t act for sh*t. But, the action scenes were very entertaining and brought me back to the good ol’ days of the GI Joe cartoons.
Stephen Sommers
Not having Stephen Sommers might be bad for the sequel. He knew what he was doing. Who else can make a campy movie actually fun?

I’m still on the fence on who needs to be blamed for writing a lousy ending to the movie. Was it the “10” writers who knew very little about G.I. Joe, or was it the director? If part 2 is a continuation of the first, hopefully it’ll be cleaned up properly. Sienna Miller said in an interview that the Baroness needs to get out of where she is–as in, she is a villain who was imprisoned by the good guys–amazing that an actress who grew up in England and knew next to nothing about G.I. Joe knows her character.
As for Tatum, even if he can’t act very well, I liked him as Duke, I think the cast was fine but the writing had too many hands in the pot–only Larry Hama or the many writers of the cartoon have the right to tell the story their own way; because in the end, they will keep with the plot and the characters back stories.
I love G.I. Joe, I had to comment–I’m actually watching the cartoon box set now…Yo Joe! –sorry– Cobra!
