After the huge success that was Transformers, which is in my top 5 favorite movies of all time, someone in Hollywood got the bright idea to make a movie about the other super popular toy from the 80's made by Hasbro. I'm speaking of course about a live action G*I* Joe movie.
I had all the action figures, planes, tanks, motorcycles, you name it I had it when it came to G*I* Joe. I think it was because the action figures were only $2.97 at the time, and since my mom was cheap I got those. She prefers the term frugal because it paints her in a better light but whatever. I'm an only child, spoil me dammit! Transformer's by comparison were $9.97 and up so you can see where she why. I got the other vehicles for birthdays and Christmas.
Um, now that I am done ranting about my childhood, back to the movie. I am not as optimistic about this Hasbro movie as I was the Transformer's one. I just don't think it will be as enjoyable. I hope I'm proven wrong however.
Stephen Sommers is directing. I absolutely loved The Mummy. The sequel was just meh. I laughed so hard when Duane "The Rock" Johnson came out near the end I think I pee'd myself a little. Van Helsing had potential but it was garbage also, except for Kate Beckinsale. I could watch her fold laundry and get turned on.
At any rate I'll probably go check it out, just for nostalgia sake.
