Posted by Belphegorite at 7:00pm Aug 27 '09Like you, I also enjoyed the senselessness of it all. I mean, it's GI Joe. Home of weather controlling machines, giant insects, a used car salesman who leads a global criminal empire more powerful than the standing army of any nation and an orthodontist who's half genetic engineer/half Jesus.
My three problems:
1) They not only thoroughly explained the McGuffin Device, they did it in the first 10 minutes.
2) Duke doesn't punch out enough vipers.
3) No PSA at the end. I sat through all the credits waiting for a little thing at the end where Barbecue shows up saying, "Hey kids, fire is hot and if you play in it, you'll be permanently disfigured if you don't die a horrible screaming death!" And the kids are all, "And now we know!" and the Joes are all, "And knowing is half the battle!"
