GI Joe - Rise of the Cobra - not as bad as you expect

I went to see the GI Joe film during the week. I actually enjoyed it. It was mindless fun but much better than Transformers 2.

As a kid I played with Action Force and GI Joe toys (as well as older action man toys). I read the British Action Force comics and the American GI Joe comics and I loved them all. I was fairly well primed for the film although I realise that a lot of British people are not.

The film is stupid and horrifically reminiscent of Team America but it is fun. It was great seeing Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow and Scarlett walking and talking the way I imagined them to as a child.

Loved it. Hope they make a follow-up.
