This movie should have been called G.I. Joe: Cash For Clunkers. Even the special effects that evryone was talking about as this movie's only saving grace were really cartoony andfake looking. When stormshadow fell into that icy water, I could have sworn that they simply filmed someone dropping the old action figure in the water...
All of Marlon Wayan's cooning is really getting on my nerves and the "Black Action Movie Sidekick" thing is sooooo 80's.
The writing in this movie was AWFUL....like AWFUL...I literally predicted just about all of the one liners in my head befre they were said and the movie was not a good homage to the cartoon...
If I could give it less than one star, I would. Lord knows I tried to.
Fantastic movie...EXCEPT for those extremely culturally insulting robot twins ("Mudflap" and "Shuck-N-Jive," or whatever). As an African-American male, I was horribly insulted by these characters...who resembled monkeys and one of which had a bucked gold tooth who spoke ebonics the entire time. The little redneck kids behind me kept referring to them as the "black ones." I almost left the theater. I will not recomend this to anyone else and all of my African-American friends had the same issue (to varying degrees) with this movie...VERY insulting.
