Back in the 80’s, every boy wanted to be like a G.I. Joe. Fight evil, fly special jets, be armed with awesome weapons, and always be on the winning team. U-S-A, U-S-A, U-S-A, U-S-A! The show was so awesome back then because they always used state-of-the-art technology. I mean, they always fired lasers from their guns! That’s much more cooler than lame bullets, am I right?
The toys were even cooler. To pretend that you’re making you’re own episode or skit, just like they did in the commercials you would watch on Saturday mornings. Saying, “MOMMY! BUY ME THAT!”
But now, as I look back on this once great cartoon, I realize that real war isn’t all fun and games. Real people die in wars. In G.I. Joe, the enemies usually escaped out of their tanks before it was hit with a missile. So, no one actually dies. And now, G.I. Joe is coming back as a live action film.
Releasing in theaters near the end of the movie summer rush, G.I. Joe is sure to kill my childhood. Will I watch this? Maybe. If someone pays for my ticket, then definitely. They are taking the G.I. Joe franchise in a weird direction that I’m not sure is going to work. Are they supposed to be super heroes with special gadgets? Unless they have an awesome plot and story to go with the new weapons, suits, tech, and cleavage, I doubt this movie or franchise will go any further. Batman and Ironman already did it, and they did it good.
Sienna Miller is hot. Well look, shes taking off her jacket.
One last thing. They casted a Wayans brother?! How am I supposed to take that guy seriously after all the stupid movies he has made with his brother?
