The film released here in India just 2 days back and i was planning to go and see it with my friends.But then i went on and read the reviews on rottentomatoes.And i must say that they were not so exciting.Mostly people said that the movie was just mindless action.

So i am asking you guys for your take on this movie.Do you think that its good enough to be watched in a theater.If its not I really don't want to waste my money.So please help me out.

By the way i am a action movie lover.Now all i want is your opinion on this movie.

I didn't see it but my husband did. He thought it was good but not great. Sorry I can't give you first hand knowledge on it, but I usually agree with my husband's opinion when it comes to movies. So I take him at his word, he said it was entertaining enough. So perhaps a matinee where the price is reduced would be more preffered.

Yes, even I want to watch it as it looks like it has a lot of action in it, I dont care what the story is when there is good action lol
I just love watching action movies. But I would prefer to watch it when the price goes down a bit.
Now that the review shows rotten tomatoes, I would definitely watch it when it is almost on the verge of vanishing from the theaters! lol

I have watched the movie and didn't find it that good. I more like the movie Transformers than G.I Joe. Yes the action stunts are cool. But I don't like the flow of the story. Well that is just my opinion.

Trailer looks fun but you can't really expect nothing serious from a movie called "G.I. Joe"

Why is that?Cartoon based films often surprise everyone.May be its not one those films with a deep underlaying message,But i don't see any reason why it can't be a good action movie.

It's based on toys actually

I watched it last week and think that it is quite a good movie if you want an action packed, full of visual effects, and over the top story. The reason why I'm not rated this movie is great is the acting. The acting was sooo lame, especially showcased by Channing Tatum who are supposed to be leading this movie. When I watched it, I feel he is overshadowed by other casts which has stronger presence, especially Wayans, the red hair girl, and the Chinese villain. Sienna Miller also did not show her best, she's not that convincing as a vixen. Her walk does not show "b*tch" despite nailing the mimic and gesture of a villain.

Thats the problem with this kind of films usually.They spend too much time on thinking about visual effects and actions.In this process they forget about the very basic thing in a film,acting.
