    Not sure if the post above this is meant as a jab at me, if so, big deal.

    People saw it, over $100 million worldwide.

    no jab. i thought Transformers 2 kinda sucked. And if GI Joe is worse, then no way in hell am i gonna see it.
    Even if it made over $100, that doesn't mean shit. Norbit was No. 1 at the box office when it came out. nuff said.

    Well, IMHO, despite some pretty bad backstories with the Baroness/Duke and Cobra Commander, the movie itself was pretty entertaining. Some good homages for the fanboys and the action scenes were nicely done. The Snake Eyes/Storm Shadow backstory was decent as well.

    I had to google Norbit just to see what it was about and who was in it.

    I didn't go into the movie with any great expectations. I just wanted a couple of hours of distraction on Saturday night and it worked for me in that way.

    Having Baroness turn out to be a victim of CC's nanobots seemed like a cop out, though. The suits I could live with since they weren't used over and over again. Then it would just have been "Team Iron Man," not G.I. Joe.

    Scarlett in a skin-tight suit. Mmmmmmmm. Oh, I so do love redheads! :)
