More reviews...

and the movie is getting universal approval. Everyone who has seen it really likes it, or outright LOVES it.

I think my favourite quote from any review so far:

And many of the money shots are really violent - heads are pierced, exploded, and chopped off. Hundreds, if not thousands, die (just barely) off screen, while dozens upon dozens of Cobra guys (or I guess proto-Cobra guys, as the terrorist group only becomes Cobra at the end) meet their maker at the hands, bullets, shuriken, blades and other explosives of our heroes. There's not much by way of blood, but Sommers has taken the gloves off and delivered the kind of serious ass-kicking PG-13 movie we haven't seen in a while.

I'll let you know what I think on Tuesday night

.....as will I.

I'm being cautiously optimistic, about this movie.  I have no doubt it'll be good and probably one of the more fun movies this summer - but all the trailers and commercials leave me with a nagging doubt in the back of my mind.  The same one that was there when I watched Wolverine, the Ang Lee Hulk Movie, Spiderman 3... 


BUT... like I say, cautious optimism. 


(It's also concerning that any "real" critics haven't been given a screening, yet.  Or at least, if they have, that they're not saying anything one way or the other.  Seems they're only letting the fan-critics see/say anything about it, so far.  Kind of defeats the purpose, when you hand-pick your reviewers... )

I'll let you know what I think on Tuesday night

Why Tuesday?

[B]

I've got more of a feeling that I've seen all the best parts of the movie already from all the tv spots showing daily. Hope that isn't so, but I had watched Paul Blart: Mall Cop, and really all the funny parts I had seen on the tv spots. Rest of the movie: not very funny.

For me there a fine line for advertising but I think sometimes you have to leave something for your viewer instead of the usual "oh they must be the scene where...." etc.

Why Tuesday?

Advance passes. 

[pdaat]

Where?  Are they available for only certain venues?

[BHMike]

No. They're kinda an "inside" thing. Only Stealth and I are going. As well as the winners from the 2009 Canadian Joe Con.

[thatcarlguy]

Advanced passes? You're scooping the guy who works at the movie theater?

There is a midnight showing on the Thursday. Or rather 12:01am Friday. I'll likely be seeing it then.

[BHMike]

GI Joe was in all honesty.... Amazing.

I'll type more later, but it was fun the entire way through. Cobra Commander is surprisingly damn good, and I LOVED the little things they put in for old school fans - like Breaker "needing" the Bubble gum and blowing bubbles. :-)

My nephew said on the way home that he liked it more than Transformers - and he wants to be Snake Eyes for Halloween now.

[Redmao]

We're going to see it Thursday at midnight.

[Stealth Viper]

It was awesome. The best you could hope for, all thing considered.

I sincerely hope it does very well at the box office because I want more!
