Me and Bon just got back from GI Joe, and dammit, if you don't go in with sky-high expectations and don't ask questions, then this movie was highly enjoyable.

It's got good action, all the main characters get great screentime, and it's just a good time. If someone asked me to see this movie again, I would say sure.

I too saw, it. I believe it was a good adaption but not a "faithful" adaption. However, I'm not sure why the director wasn't so reluctant in adding more Joes, Michael did it with TF2 and it turned out pretty well.

^ Best post by Duel ever. It's even more than one sentance. Congrats.

I have yet to see the film... and recently I've become much less of a movie goer. I guess there's just been crap, crap, romatic comedy, and maybe one or two that are within the range of 'meh'. But under your recommendation, I'll see about hitting it up.

Yeah, maybe it is a nice surprise for you guys that it turned out OK or even good, but why would you even think to go see it in the first place?

I don't believe you.
Something with GI Joe's premise can't be good.

Some of my friends want to see it, so I may go with them. I was never a G.I. Joe fan, so I don't have any kind of expectations about it. Until now.

The movie is pure, mindless entertainment. I'm not telling you this is "Dark Knight" good or anything like that. You just have to enjoy it for a popcorn movie.

To answer your question, Bo, I was initially hyped, then as more came out, I was uninterested, then reviews came out that said it wasn't bad, then positive buzz, so I figured what the hell.

The movie is better than Funny People, by far.

OK, I saw it and found it entertaining. But I didn't make me feel excited or anything. (But I wasn't interested on the cartoons either)
I found it to be more Sci Fi-ish than expected tho. I couldn't dig the mini guns of mega doom, but loved the chase with those powered suits in Paris
