The first half is higly enjoyable but once the brilliant Paris chase scene is over the movie just looses its steam and it gets very boring watching CGI-vehicles blowing boring CGI-stuff up(Star Wars Syndrome).

The plot sucks, the dialogue is mind-numbingly retarded, the action is repetitive, and Channing Tatum is one of the most wooden actors I've ever seen. Mainly though, I'm disappointed that Snowjob didn't make a cameo despite the latter portion of the film taking place in the fucking ARCTIC!

Horrible CGI. Terrible story. Was there story? It was like following a game, but I think that was the idea. Extra points for a couple of hot chicks in hot skintight suits. Otherwise it would not get even that much of points.

A lot more endurable and passable than I expected, but still overwhelmingly recurrent. The action scenes are decorously and properly endowed, but I'm not sold with any of the casting preferences, Channing Tatum to be precise. Oh, and Marlon Wayans.....stop trying. You haven't cultivated anything by just shouting, stomping and using unfunny phrases. The ninjas, mechanical suits and the supposed nemesis (*cough Star Wars cough*) also do not make the ranks. Just product placement for the series.

If only the entire cast were as self-aware as Joseph Gordon-Levitt...it could have been amazing. Instead it's an amusing string of unfinished CGI action sequences, G.I cleavage, and Stephen Summer's favorite actors' cameos held together by a horrible 1st draft, writer-strike-casualty script and Channing Tatum, America's finest thespian (not.).

Lower your expectations. The movie is noisy and messy with some big flaws (mute characters with no face are not worth of 1 second of screen time!), but it was easy enough to suspend my disbelief and just go along with the proposed menu of sexy women, futuristic technology and cartoonish violence. That Wayans kid actually didn't do a bad job!

Not much hope for a movie based on action figures with a plot where some madmen strive for world domination. But director Stephen Sommers delivers a surprise - a guilty pleasure, but as much fan as you can expect from a mindless action flick.

I did not like. I think a movie G. I. Joes could be much better than that. The story is very bad writing, for a terrible director who just made bad movies. The result is a film without creativity, confused and with a lot of action nonsense.

The action is too clean and superficial to leave an impression. The CGI may be convincing but it is rarely visceral. I've been told to "turn off my brain" for things like this, but shouldn't a good film be doing that for me? Oh well. At the very least, the blatant jingoism is mostly gone, definitely an improvement over the massive stiffy the cartoon and its young viewers had for the military-industrial complex. Still, dumb and unremarkable, nothing to see here. Go watch District 9 instead.

This is cheesy, roll-your-eyes at material. The action is nonstop and it doesn't matter. The movie is embarrassing in every area from start to finish. The acting is terrible, the dialogue is terrible, the plot is terrible, the special effects vary from awful to decent. I would've loved this movie at six years old, but the fact that I'm not anymore means that it's just plain awful, and it really is that bad.

About as much of a 50 as I have ever seen. Pretty bad acting and cheesy story on the one hand, but on the other hand, it delivers GI Joes shooting and fighting as promised. Let's say it falls between the complete garbage of Transformers and the unexpected high quality of Star Trek, for an equal mix of both of those other 09 blockbusters.

The good: should keep the 15 & under crowd distracted (if not necessarily entertained) for 2 hours; Sienna Miller's outfits r very pleasing 2 the fetish community; the screen time given 2 the faceless "accelerator suits" is kept 2 a minimum; & kudos 2 Eccleston 4 managing 2 make a decent villain despite some of the worst dialogue & characterization this side of George Lucas' last 3 Star Wars flicks. The bad: EVERYTHING else. The ugly: so bad a sequel isn't inevitable, but still likely.

It's stupid and ridiculous, but then, I knew it would be when I bought the ticket. It's a G.I. JOE film, and does a good job of capturing the spirit of what kids dream up when they play with action figures. Of course, this is both a strength and a weakness, as my inner child was lapping it up but my adult mind was bored, and occasionally insulted. It is quite funny though. I couldn't stop laughing during the ninja flashbacks. Also: LOL@Brendan Fraser. Weak ending. Sienna Miller has nice boobies.

A big, silly, corny, stupid, yet somewhat filling action blockbuster. Yes it is ridiculous and does have a script that seemed to be written by an eight year old. At least this movie is fun unlike Michael Bay's abomination.

an extremely fun and unapologetic action movie that'll get the kid in you wanting more and more. some of the dialog is cheesy and the plot seems a little absurd, but come on. it's a GI joe movie. the over the top action sequences make up for it with enthusiasm to spare.

Maybe the worst CGI Effect´s I´ve seen in years. And I guess 120 Minutes of mindless Action never let me so cold. The effects are crap, the actors have no charisma (expect that hot red head, damn she is beautiful), the story is on vacation, even Dennis Quaid couldn´t resque G.I. Joe for the downfall. Ridiculous and needless.

So as a movie, it was absolutely terrible. But for entertainment purposes, it was absolutely hilarious. So bad, so cheesy, so pointless, so futilely serious, that I completely enjoyed myself. Other theatergoers probably hated me since I kept laughing throughout parts that were meant to be entirely serious.

Almost every single tired action movie cliche is present in the one. The plot is simple and easy to predict and the dialogue is cheesy. The only thing it really had going for it was some OK special effects and fight scenes, and the fact that I played with the toys as a kid so my opinion is slightly biased from seeing Snake Eyes and Stormshadow in the flesh. Though I wasn't completely pleased with how they were handled either.
