I took my 12 year old who has not grown up watching G.I. Joe as I had. It was great fun for both us...lot's of action with the perfect balance between good and evil. Definitely buying the DVD and we can't wait for part two!
I thought the movie was good although it fell far short of storyline and plot of the book. The book took you on a far more fantastic ride than the movie.However, I expected this an my disappointment was lessened as were my three children, ages 12 and 10 year old twins...I would have liked to see more of the action scenes from the book but all in all I would recommend the movie.
My family and I saw Speed Racer on Opening Night (Friday, May 9). My three sons, ages 11 and 9 year old twins were on a playdate with a friend of ours and her 9 year old son. The movie was great! I did not particularly care for Speed Racer as a child but the renewed version exceeded my expectations. Finally a children's movie made for KIDS! What a concept...Only one profane word was used in the whole movie and it was bleeped out. Keep making movies like this one and I believe kids can return to being kids. Thank you
