Who's off to see GI Joe this Friday?
- Thread starter ...shay sinster...
- Start date
Absolute rubbish IMO.
Seen it tonight, basdly acted, no real plot, and random things just happen for no apparent reason.
Christopher Eccleston with the worst Scottish accent in history
I mean come on oh wait he scottish,
and the "twist " 3/4 the way through as to who the baddie is, i mean come on, i could just see the writers sat there saying, "yeah dude they will never see that coming", well no we wont because iy was just pulled out your arse for no real reason.
I could go on, it was a stinker, but no doubt will spawn 5 sequels
Great effects, all guns blazing the whole way through, but you will be praying the next scene will finaly bring it to a close so can just get out of there.

I went with my fella - who is Scottish - and he thought he was the best bit in it including accent apart from the female eye candy of course.
But why he is in the film is a bit beyond me unless it's on the back of his success in Heroes and Doctor Who? Eccleston is capable of so much more - I was fortunate to get a day ticket to the Donmar Warehouse to see him and Gillian Anderson in Dollhouse, he's a very clever, astute actor so GI Joe is an odd choice but probably well paid...

CGI film based on a doll most British folk have never heard of....
Think Ill pass.

Eccleston is a great actor, he would have been far better using his own accent, but for the "plot" amd reasons i dont understand, there was a scottish element, and he was required to be scottish.
Quite why we needed to see some bloke in the 11th century being Tortured i dont know
, it linked to Ecclestons character obviously, but why was it all their in the first place?
And god.....those flashbacks, at certain points of the movie, i was expecting it to turn into scary movie or something, good god the whole film was like a parody.

Good grief, not me for definite It looks like a pile of crap, and Sienna Miller being in it does nothing to dispel that

is this review a joke??
this film is one of the worst i have ever seen.
just picking bits at random here (i could fill a page on why i thought it was so bad):
the paris chase was pure cgi - cheap looking copies of men in those suits bounding down the road, the car crashes were all cgi, rachel nicholls on the bike zooming in and out of the traffic was cgi, the villians car flipping over 10 times (and them escaping unhurt) was cgi... absolutely no tension and no real stunts...all done on a computer
channing tatum - block of wood
why did the guy who was in the mummy (arnold vorsloo?) kill that arab in the desert and dress up like him - right after his frienRAB had just escaped in the plane???? it made absolutely no sense at all
some of the cgi was so cheap looking - the joes arriving at the base for the first time being a good example
the fight scenes were edited so fast you got no sense of them being good fighters
haha the stupid flashbacks - especially the sudden one in the middle of the fight between snake and the guy in white. quite ridiculous

stephen sommers is a moron. read an interview with him where the interviewer likened this film (quite rightly) to team america. sommers was clearly p*ssed off (there have been quite a few reviews saying how similar they are) and said he had never heard of team america. haha AS IF!!
he may have directed the mummy which i like, but i think that was a fluke. he followed it up with the rubbish cgi fests the mummy returns and van helsing.
i think he may be one of the worst directors in hollywood at the moment..

and damon wayans...
do we still live in a world where its ok for the black guy to be going on about 'white folks' and waving his hanRAB round like he's been living in uncle tom's cabin. absolutely appalling racism i thought

I watched this last night, and in a strange, masochistic kind of way, it was actually quite enjoyable. In fact it was more enjoyable than Transformers 2, although I'll grant you that's not hard to achieve.
Really terrible CGI which reminded me of THAT scene in Matrix Reloaded with Reeves and the hundreRAB of Hugo Weaving clones. But the whole film was so loud, gormless and downright dumb, I didn't care.
And Ecclestone should get a Razzie for his fine impersonation of Sean Connery playing a Russian with a Scottish accent.
