Any info? It came out on Friday and nothing posted yet. That is so not like CA. Help me out here. Is it worth it?

I am waiting to watch it. I loved GI Joe as I kid but the movie looked a little ridiculous. I hope I am wrong though.

I saw it Friday. Was much better than expected, based on what I had heard. Lots of good action. Not much story or character development, but you didn't expect any, so you won't be disappointed. I liked it better than Transformers 2.

I watched it on Saturday night. The movie's effects were good, but it is not something that I would really care to see again. Poe and Xcytez went and saw it as well and they both loved it.

Wasn't the best movie of the summer, but also not the worst. my 2c.

Those were my feelings too. I LOVED the cartoon show as a kid and if the ex-wife hadn't tossed ALL my Joes (and the 7 foot aircraft carrier too, the #*&$#*& ) I'd still be playing with them!!! Well, probably not, but I'd still like to have them.

My wife and I saw the movie yesterday. She didn't have any feelings about the toys/cartoons as a kid so she had an open mind and enjoyed it. I enjoyed it too but I kept thinking "Hawk wouldn't say that" or "Why does Snake Eyes' suit look like skin instead of a suit?" or stuff like that.

My opinion, watch it as an action movie and enjoy it but don't expect that same old nostalgic GI Joe feeling to come back - it just ain't in that movie. My :-)

I think I may have to see it... I did love G I Joe's as a kid, and even though the reviews haven't been amazing, I feel like I'm "obligated" to see it.

I will likely catch this movie on DVD, unless I go to the theater and their is nothing else to see. I loved G.I. Joe as a kid, but something about this movie is just ehhh not me.

Everything I've heard about this movie has been BAD. I mean REALLY bad. I'll probably wait till it comes out on Blu-ray. FWIW, I loved Transformers 1 and 2 so I may actually be entertained by GI Joe.

I'm guessing that if you go expecting an action movie it should be good.

I played with GI Joes as a child, but never got into the cartoon. So I won't be too dissapointed if the movie doesn't cross over as well as Transformers did.

Same here Darrell. I loved The cartoon and toys as a kid and kinda feel that the only thing in common is the title G.I. Joe and the names of the characters.

I had Castle Greyskull and Snake Mountain! Always wanted the carrier too, but the He-Man sets took up my room.

Haven't seen it and likely won't - until the DVD anyway. Your best judgement might come after the 2nd weekend take - if it drops from $56 million to, say, $15, then skip it.
