Hooray, another nostalgic remake of an old series. Watched it with Max & Akira over National Day weekend. I was very excited about it ever since I saw the trailers and movie posters!
G.I. Joe was kinda average for me, though if graded purely as an action movie, I guess it passes with flying colors. The entire movie is a non-stop action-packed romp from beginning to end. Strangely, all the fight scenes made me feel as though it is one big commercial to promote the new toy line. lol
It throws any semblance of a plot out the window and all back-story is told through the numerous flashback sequences for the various key characters. Speaking of which, it feels weird that almost every major character is mysteriously related to one another. And fans who watch the movie keeping an eye out for their beloved Cobra Commander might be a little disappointed.
Sort-Of-M.I.A.
Oh, well. Storm Shadow is still a badass!
After the movie, I started digging YouTube for some old G.I. Joe cartoons. I managed to catch the 90's animated movie as well as a darker series named G.I. Joe Resolute which was just released this year.
I found the 90's movie opening very catchy. All the lasers and things blowing up. All the fighting around the Statue of Liberty. This show probably taught American kids to be patriotic when they grew up. lol
