      There was a story line to the original cartoons? Wasn't it pretty much just "Cobra tries to take over the world, GI Joe stops them, rinse, repeat"?

        As I recall, in the comics Cobra Commander's backstory involved him being a former used car salesman. High concept stuff there.

          Pretty much, Hell, about the only time they they really had much of a plot change was like that one two part episode where the Joes and Cobra team up to take out that drug dealer with a mountain fortress. And hell, Cobra was only in it for the chance to take the Dealers money so they could finance their next crazy hairbrain idea. That and they didn't like the idea of their future subjects being hooked on something that they didn't control.

              There's no Shipwreck or Snow Job in the movie. The homosexual undertones are cut WAY back I guess.

                  Yeah, only movies made about comic book characters have deep story lines and rich characters.

                    Knowing is 7/13's divided by pi of the battle?

                      This is a bad comparison. Ironman was great, both transformers sucked ***, and GI Joe was a live action version of the cartoon. Unlike transformers it didn't seem to try and be anything but action.

                      It was fun, but nothing really there, and some of the action required you to follow the rule of cool. (If it looks cool enough, it doesn't matter that it makes no sense) Cobra commanders mask looks terrible, what's wrong with this? They didn't have to use the hood, not like the guy who's going to wipe 4 cities off the map is better than the KKK anyways. Destro was good though, if a little fake looking.

                      I'm not really sure how they screwed this gun up during the assault on the Joe base. Duke empties it like it was an assault rifle, complete with the same sound effect for the assault rifles. When it's so much more awesome as an automatic shotgun.

                        Yeah, CC's mask sucked in the movie. Something more like the helmet with the mirror faceshield would have worked a lot better.


                        Went and saw Bruno last night. Well worth the 50 cents I spent for it at the theature at Briarwood Mall. Normally its like 2 bucks there, but on Mondays its 50 cents. Just so distubingly wrong that its funny. Really liked where they're handcuffed together and go past the WBC there.

                            I could recommend some for you.

                            Go watch Highlander 2 or Jaws: The Revenge.

                                Jaws 4 was f-cking terrible. Jaws 3 at least has actual stars in it and a hilariously bad scene with Jaws busting through glass.
