"Worst film of 20009"!!
This was 1 film I wasted money on and sat through it in theaters!!
John Travolta needs a Razzie Nod for "Worst Supporting Actor"!
I wish I had seen "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra" in theaters (AMC Theaters any show before 12 Noon is only $5.00!!) ...but hey $1.00 Redbox rental made by night!
"G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra" was that odd mix of straight-faced earnestness and bananas action that made the cartoon so much fun, and that's what the movie delivers on.
Horrible movie.
this is still a fun dumb summer flick :)
