I snuck it in between work and practice on Friday. It was entertaining. Formulaic, but fun. I felt like I was watching the good parts of X-Men, Star
Wars and movies of the like. During the fight between Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes I thought I was watching the fight between Darth Maul and Obie Won
(sp?). Funny because it was the same actor as DM.

I saw it on Saturday.
I went in thinking it was going to TOTALLY suck and for the most part I enjoyed it. I think it was better than Transformers II.
complaints about the movie (no spoilers)
- Cobra Comanders mask = LAME!
- Destro's mouth moving = LAME!
- Not enough (aka none) references to other characters that were not in the movie. Would it have killed them to have a guy with a mustache wearing a
#14 football jersey in the training facility just so I could giggle to myself thinking "its Bazooka!"
side note that I found out after I saw the movie:
Brenden Frasier is in the movie and hes wearing a beret. Hes training Duke, who is fighting Skake Eyes at the time. When I saw the beret I assumed
that he was Flint. After the movie I looked on IMDB and Brenden Frasier and/or Flint are not listed in the movie.
I read a little more and found that they wanted Brenden Frasier to be Flint, but the dirrector wanted Flint to have a bigger part. Brenden Frasier
couldnt devote that much time to the movie so they changed his character to Sgt. Stone and they mayb put Flint in the sequal. I dont remember a
character named Sgt. Stone so I wonder if its a joke... He was FLINT and now hes STONE... FLINTSTONE?
I also read that they filmed TWO movies at the same time so the sequal wont take 2 years to come out hopefully.

Not really interested in this at all. I am however interested in some movies coming out this month. Namely, Inglorious Bastards and Halloween 2.
Probably gonna check out The Final Destination as well since it is going to be 3D which should make that a fun one to see in the theatre. I am also
wondering if District 9 is gonna be any good.

Plus you misspelled it twice. You're ousted from the geek club Shawn.
I have no interested in this movie. I might rent it at some point, but considering I was so disappointed with the first Transformers movie I don't
think I could stomach this. Plus... I don't know, GI Joe is something I feel like I've thoroughly out grown at this point. With the exception of maybe
Storm Shadow and Snake-Eyes. The only characters I ever really really cared about.

The movie is pretty heavy on Snake Eyes & Storm Shadow actually.

yeah there were things left out, but I think in the sequel they will hit upon some of the things we know and love. I wish the Dreadnoks were in it.

one of my best childhood memories was going to Childworld (the local toystore near my house) with my mom and being able to get all 3 original
Dreadnoks! Torch, Ripper & Buzzer!
side note: I always loved that on their files cards their last names were Winken, Blinken & Nod

Does it bother and amuse anyone else that in popular media bad guys are always given "punk looks" but beefed up to degrees you never really see in the
punk scene. Especially with guys with purple mohawks? Like Ripper there, or Bebop from TMNT.

There were more than four.
Zartan
Ripper
Buzzer
Torch
Monkeywrench
Zarana
Zandar
Thrasher (came with the Thunder Machine)
Road Pig
There a few others whose names I forgot. When it comes to G.I. Joe I'm a big geek.

I had Road Pig among others, and I took his huge arms off and put them on Dr. Mindbender. Looked pretty cool. Years later they all became bb gun
targets, or I would incinerate them with WD-40 and a lighter.I actually shot a few of them while they burned. There was never much to do in my
neighborhood.

TMNT's Bebop had the duece. He was a punker with a purple mohawk(with a rat tail mind you) and he was black... before being turned into a giant
snorting warthog. So, in some ways, he kind of had the trifecta after Shredder got to him! Hahaha.
Also, I once consigned a Flint figure to the death of dismemberment via firecracker.
