I gotta start with GI Joe. What a horrid abortion of my childhood. The best I have heard anyone say is that the red head was hot. I really tried to give it a chance by watching the whole thing, but my persistence went unrewarded. Did we really need the "my army" dialog? or the fact that a giant underwater base has 3 missile silos going to the ice pack and the joe's have a submarine with torpedoes, but the best course of action they can come up with is to sneak into the base? Well if that passes for military strategy then why don't we invade Russia again? I can't tell if the actors in the movie were in on the joke or if they really thought they were doing a good job. And what is with the facial hair??? Has anyone in hollywood seen someone in uniform before? I stand by my assessment that the re dubbed GI Joe PSA's on youtube would have been a better way to spend my time.
I also have a huge pet peeve with military individuals being portrayed with long hair, beards, uniforms with garishly slapped on crap. It's almost as if movie producers go down to the local costume shop and find a vagrant and get their inspiration from the combination.
I guess I am just really annoyed by the whole thing, but here are some other military movies that I feel are utter crap;
Thin Red Line
Broken Arrow
Windtalkers |
