What's wrong with wanting to watch a good movie? I think you're the one who needs to get over yourself...

I'm sure that there are Germans out there who would actively defend those people who buy those movies of people who like to eat poop by resorting to personal insults and hypocritical stereotypes. Preeny get's put in that category. Just admit it, you like to eat poop, don't you Preeny?

It's at 41% on the UK version of Rotten Tomatoes, that includes UK and US reviews.
The UK reviewers seem much harsher and are really cutting it to pieces.

Here is a few of my favorites:

Puppet satire Team America got there first, on a fraction of the budget and with more animated performances.

I was more excited by last week’s G-Force 3-D, if only because the guinea pigs give the better performances

Watching "G.I. Joe" is like being slapped across the face with utility-grade meat for two hours and for all I know, that is exactly what screenwriters Stuart Beattie and David Elliot & Paul Lovett did to get themselves in the proper frame of mind.

I wont, and cant defend it...because its not a good movie. If you're looking for fun with a few Joe characters, and maybe put aside your fanisms, you might enjoy it. But dont expect anything other then cool action, and cool tech. Reaaaaally loved that tech. Super cool.

And from a cinematic side, I do admit, I love to "eat poop". I dont care. Its summer. If a movie is fun, i'm there. So TF and GI JOE gave me my fun, so now bring on District 9, Lovely Bones, 9, and Avatar. The more meaty films.

I think this will be the most awesome movie ever. It will dwarf Star Wars and rival Lord of the Rings in cinematic impact. You know why?

Chris Eccleston.

Either that or wind up being the polyp of his career that gets stricken from his resume.

It's a big dumb summer blockbuster with explosions and fights. Quite enjoyable mindless entertainment. Fun to see those characters on the screen. Some of you dorky, pretentious fanboys need to get over yourselves and your sad comic book obsessions. GI Joe isn't for adults, as much as you'd like it to be in order to avoid real human interaction. It's fun, it's not high art. GI Joe was NEVER high art and there is no real established canon for it. Comic book fans like the comic and cartoon fans like the cartoons. Who the F cares? Why do some of you expend so much energy hating on such a petty thing? I'm sure you'll all come back at me with some self important, condescending rebuttals but I won't be back on this board so save your time. You have all proven to be losers and I have outgrown you. Enjoy your dolls.

you sure did put a lot of energy into this self important condescending rebuttal. Not sure why the F you care cause its all just fun, not high art ...... nice dolls in your sig too ....

Re: I know it's only 12 reviews, but I am a bit shocked!

lol, so i click to the first page and think hmmmm maybe i should go see this and take the wife and then i decide to click on the last page to see if there's any new information and now i'm thinking there are much better ways to spend $20

i normally try not to look at too many reviews because everybodies tastes are different but after seeing the trailers and hearing this i'll probably still see it but it'll probably be a $1 rental instead of big theater trip

Re: I know it's only 12 reviews, but I am a bit shocked!

It all depends what you want. Do you want something fun to kill a few hours, or something more?

It was better then Van Helsing...thats for sure. It wasnt insulting as that movie was.

43% and still dropping. Paramount's ruse of inviting only those they knew would give it a positive review almost worked, but now it's become utterly apparent.

These quotes are just too delicious:

G.I. Joe: The Rise Of Cobblers, as it must now be known, is a 118-minute war crime that does for the army what Steve Martin's Inspector Clouseau did for the French police force - except with more fake-looking explosions.

It’s noisy, fast-paced and stuffed with special effects. The screenplay? You’ve got to be joking!

The tongue-in-cheek action film they've inspired aims for 'so bad it's good' cheesiness, but just ends up being -- well, bad.

And from the 1/2 star NY POST review:

Formerly a real American hero, "G.I. Joe" is no longer a hero or American. (It's a multinational team of military superstars, though the way it does business, you'd feel safer with the Croatian navy on your side.)

...the Joes gain entrance to the Schmo control room by sticking another sword in a security panel, have their martial-arts guy (Snake Eyes) face off in long, irrelevant battles with his Schmo foe (Storm Shadow), and do their best to prevent the Schmoes from destroying the world -- although the scheme turns out to be an irrelevant distraction and the movie ends with nothing resolved.

By the way, in the movie Cover Girl is from the Czech Republic.

This movie is basically a $200 million practical joke on anyone who ever cared about G.I. Joe at all. It's not just that it's bad... it's that it seems as if they went out of their way to ^^^^ all over everything.

LMAO. I'm going to call Sommers up, and say you're a sick kid, and hold a private screening at your house.
