I’m going to keep this extremely short and sweet: if you are a huge fan of the 80’s G.I. Joe cartoon, was obsessed with collecting the action figures or were an avid reader of the comic books, this movie will piss you right the hell off. While Stephen Sommers has indeed created an escapist action/fantasy movie much in the same vein as his ‘Mummy’ and ‘Van Helsing’ efforts (read: shit), his vision of G.I. Joe bares almost no resemblance to the real American heroes of childhoods past.
