So I watched that new GI Joe movie. In all seriousness, I really liked it. Mind you, I've come to realize that I'm likely the worst person you know for movie recommendations. Anyways, it was a good action packed, over the top CGI movie. Yes, there were scenes directly taken from the original Star Wars trilogy. Yes, there were scenes directly taken from Kill Bill. Yes, there were scenes directly taken from The Matrix. Yes, there were scenes directly taken from the new Transformers. Yes, being hit with a ninja star in the torso causes you whole body to fly back a few meters. And yes, GI stands for General Infantry. And yes, Joe originally represented your regular guy. Beyond all that, and the fact that snake eyes really should have broken his vow of silence after getting his revenge - although we all know the white ninja isn't dead, he just got stabbed in the torso and fell into freezing water - it truly was a good experience watching this movie. In terms of comparative inaccuracies, I wouldn't know or care, 'cause I don't remember much from the original GI Joe.
The only thing that really bothered me was that this elitist advanced-technology group had the same rubber roll-up keyboard that my local liquidation world sells for ten bucks. Oh, and they dubbed in regular keyboard key-stroke-clicks audio for it, too.
