I personally think Brendan Fraser should give up acting. And I think he will kill the GI Joe movie that looks terrible for many reasons. Any one seen this?

Roger Ebert was one of the few reviewers that gave this one a fresh rating.

As in Ebert's review:

Quote:
Now why did I like this movie? It was just plain dumb fun, is why. It is absurd and preposterous, and proud of it. The heroes maintain their ability to think of banal cliches even in the most strenuous situations. Brendan Fraser continues to play Rick as if he is taking a ride at the Universal Studios Tour, but Maria Bello has real pluck as she uses a handgun against the hordes of terra-cotta warriors.

If it entertains, it succeeds in its main job. I still need to watch X-Files first, then this, but maybe this on the dollar theatre...

I'll wait for dvd and no doubt I will enjoy the "dumb fun". Right now I'm wondering about Starship Troopers 3. SciFi movies are just too tempting to me no matter how bad.

I Fear this movie has the Jurassic Park 3 effect. Sam Neil was upstaged by some young guy and it looks like Brenden Fraiser is in this movie. I don't understand how his son who was like 10 in the last movie become almost 30 in this one. Brenden Fraiser is not even 40, action heroes can keep going until there 60.

I think age continuity is the last thing this film needs to worry about.

No Rachel Weisz, abominal snowmen, 3 headed dragon, CGI overload (CGI army vs CGI army

), etc etc.

Do Dracula and Frankenstein make an appearance as well?
