Because I had nothing better to do on Sunday, I dragged myself off of the couch and went down to my local theater to catch an early screening of GI Joe. I went in with the assumption that if I expected bad things I might be pleasantly surprised. As it turned out, no amount of mental preparation could have spared me the boredom or squeezed one iota of fun out of this movie.
The plot is bad. The story is cookie cutter. The character development is laughable. The acting is piss-poor to shit awful. The arch is non-existent. The effects were terrible to serviceable, and the score was week.
If you’re 13 years old or under, then grab some sugar, and some carbonated sugar, and you’ll have a great time. Everyone else should avoid this at all costs. Take my advice and stay on the couch.
