GI Joe

[chuck]

It was a silly, fun flick. Nothing to rave about - some of the CGI was like you were watching a PS3 game.

Hot people in tight costumes - saving the planet.

Plot holes galore - and lots of open threads that lead to a sequel. The clue's in the title: "Rise of Cobra" - Cobra aren't even seen until the last 5 minutes.

Sienna Miller is nice. The guns and suits and military are cheese. Lots of things go boom.

It's Team America on steroids really.

With all this discussion of GI Joe I remembered this humorous piece from McSweeney's a few years back. Worth a read.
