Movie Review: G.I. Joe

While a good attempt, it failed miserably

This movie had some potential but it was thrown out the window. The first five minutes of the movie you are thrown into a surface to air battle in which you have computer generated helicopters by Andrew Kramer of http://www.videocopilot.net. While they look pretty darn good you are still able to tell they are CG. However, this isn't my biggest complaint of the first five minutes. My biggest complaint is the fact you are thrown into an action scene without being told anything first.

You are not drawn into the fight and have no clue as to what is going on. It's simply a bunch of stuff blowing up and people running around.

The whole time I was watching the movie I kept thinking how much the lead actor's accent sounded like it was from here in Alabama. Well I just looked him up and Channing Tatum was born about an hour away from me in Cullman, Alabama. So I guess that buys him a little support from me that he otherwise did not have.

After some ridiculous special effects and a "silly" script I give this movie a 5/10.
