I just saw G.I. Joe: Retaliation. What a stupid, silly movie. Be sure to check your brain—every last bit of it–at the door.
But the kid in me enjoyed it. I grew up with G.I. Joe action figures. The fights between Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes, man, I acted that stuff out with my toys so many times! Firefly’s introductory scene was awesome too; I felt a kid-ish excitement when he burst onto the scene.
Too bad the plot was so clunky and the action direction somewhat hit and miss. And some of the characters were really underdeveloped and underutilized (Flint, Cobra Commander, Joe). I felt like the movie needed another 20 minutes of character and story development. Maybe some stuff got left on the cutting room floor? Or maybe I am kidding myself and this movie was intended for tweens, not grown men…
Jonathan Pryce as the presidential impostor stole the show. That guy was funny. A dumb movie, but I had fun with it: 6.5/10
Still listening to the show, but I just had to say I, too, LOVE the movie ARTHUR. When this premiered on cable in the early ’80s, I must have watched it 20 times, and it never got old. Great pick, Karl!
