A Fun Action-Packed Adventure
PostedAugust 8, 2009

Like most kids of the 80's I grew up watching GI Joe, Playing with GI Joes, and being sold on their adventures. My favorite parts were the grossly impractical technology that the GI Joe world had, and Cobra's ridiculous plans for world domination. That being said, this film did not disappoint, it was packed with action over the top world domination plans and technology we wish we had.
It was a film that must be seen in the theaters to appreciate it, my wife and I went in expecting to hate it, but being fans felt we had to see it anyway. We walked away liking the movie and cannot wait to see a sequel.
This is one of the best jobs of a film adaptation of an 80's cartoon I've ever seen.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I saw this movie last night with my wife. She heard it was horrible, and I intentionally avoided hearing too much about before going to see it. So I walked in with an open mind, and I was very satisfied with what I saw.
The role of John Connor was surprisingly played down, he wasn't even the main focus of the film. They unveiled realistic (in terminator universe) new machines and a fascinating and horrifying views of the post-apocalyptic future, and really helped you understand the important yet understated role that John Connor had.
Use of puppets and natural special effects and not drowning it in CG was a welcome relief from blockbuster films today. The terminators looked and felt real. Definitely worth seeing in the theater.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
