OMG it’s awesome. I completely understand why they dent let the critics review the movie beforehand. Keep in mind this us based on a cartoon and toy line from the 80s (yes I know the history of GI Joe goes further back, I too had a 12″ action figure) who ran around yelling Yo Joe and Cobra like they were out of west side story or something. Keeping it in context it was awesome, these were the battles I dreamed of when playing with the toys. The build up to the epic battle was done quite well.
There was a great balance between backstory and moving to the big build up. And without revealing too much it was great to see in action the history behind Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow. They have everything in place for a sequel and I can’t wait to see what happens next.
Habsro you’ve knocked it out of the park with both GI Joe and Transformers franchises, my only worry is that My Little Pony is next…
Go see it! Yo Joe!
