Movie Review on G.I Joe

Its been a couple of weeks ago when i last seen G.I Joe (at the same time after i finished Fighting), the movie, same as Fighting, is one of the movies i've heavily anticipated for 2009. But weirdly, its better than i expected, and its worst than i thought.
G.I Joe is based on a action cartoon in the US that is military-themed. Since then the movie has spawned numerous side stories and has contributed a major success for Hasbro on their toys line. Anywayyyy the stories (as the same in movie) relates Duke Hazzard ( Channing Tatum, who also stars in Fighting....) and Ripcord to the G.I Joe, an elite army consists of the elite from the elites, the best of the best, their like the Dream Team from the World Cup Final. Now heres the funny thing starts......first of all, Duke and Ripcord are transferring the nanomite (or nanocyte) to another place when they are confront by the bad guys which turns out to be Duke's former girlfriend (!) and then when their using bullets, the baddies are using lasers ~(!!), every one dies, and Duke and Ripcord got invite to become Joes (!!!) wow.......................................................................

The thing is the technology gap between the Joes, the Baddies and the, well, military....are toooo big....way too big, that they look like something that came out of outer space. Duke and Ripcord, save in the mission, gets recruited by the Joe, and ends up wearing a 1 million high tech suit each while the other more 'senior' member sits in a van running around......WTF???????? Its wrong the whole movie is....wrong.....wearing latex....reminds me of Power Rangers, Scarlett uses a cross bow but noooo it has laser aiming devices and shoots out arrow or bullet which explodes upon contact like a bomb, reminds me of Power Rangers again. It even uses, in which i think, scenes from Star Wars Episode 1.....with the, underwater battle scene = the space battle scene were Anakin blows up the baddies in the yellow space ship thingy, the Snake Eye vs White Storm scene = Obi Wan and his master vs the Sith, White Storm even attach his sword together, oh guess what, JUST LIKE THE SITH~ If there's one character i find interesting and real enough, is Snake Eyes.....ironically, he doesn't have a single script....

Really this show is meant for kids, in some way its almost as similar to Transformers 2. Where the graphics are the main attractive and there's really no storyline at all........but still, its G.I Joe, wat story you expect~ But it does have some good points........massive CG effects......and the actions just keep flowing and flowing til the end, nothing like this (or close to this) have been on the silver screen before.....so its a new for us, and it works. Really it does keeps u focus on the movie due to the forever non stop actions.....but still, this is a movie which will work for the 1st time, not 2nd.....

Overall...acting is bad....storyline is bad...CG is top notch, action is good and Sienna Miller is HOT~~~ so theres one extra point for the good points so i'll giv it a 6/10....least we still have Sienna Miller or Ana in the film to fantasizes and dreams about when the acting and the unbelievably childish scripts and scenes gets on your nerve....
