Hopefully it's entertaining and they can make a good franchise out of it. It looks ok in the trailers but you know how that goes.

The only legit part of the entire thing I'm looking forward to is Snake Eyes and I'm petrified they screwed him up, too.
(What kind of movies don't screen for critics? Stuff the studio knows will be a hit like SAW or total crap they want audiences to pay for before they see how terribly bad it is. I'm going with the latter here...)

The lesson: if you make crap, you will probably get a big opening weekend and then self destruct. And GI Joe is going to be crap. No amount of Harry Knowles fanboy love is going to chance that.

I don't think I'm discounting it as much as saying crap movies have no legs whatsoever. They make their money in week 1 and, by that time, word of mouth spreads that it's overlong (RotF) or nothing happens (Potter). A good, solid movie holds up over time. The Dark Knight last year, for example.
GI Joe will be a huge money maker, no doubt. But box office gross does not equal quality.

Don't forget, I'm one of the very few critics that loved "Ultraviolet".
You are right, though, the GI Joe movie does not interest me in the least. It looks stupid as hell to me, and with early reviews on RT, it usually depends on who directed it before you can trust anything up front. This is a movie you want to wait until Friday to see what "real" reviews come in.
Nevertheless, I doubt I'd even waste my time on rental for this one. I might catch it on cable in a couple years as "stand by" material, but I may need a few drinks belted down me. Besides, where's the GI Joe with the Kung-Fu Grip?

Don't feel bad Tim, it's like when for some odd reason the good girl falls for the bad boy. You don't even want to know why, just accept it.
