G.I. JOE

For the 20 to 30 somethings of today we seem to be a bit nostalgic, and crave to recreate our old heroes and villains from the past. Whether it by from comics, t.v. shows, or video games, we have continually pushed our heroes/villains into the spotlight of the silver screen for good or for bad. G.I. JOE is it's newest addition to that trend. I tend to feel it played to much of the nostalgia card. Constantly giving back plot to numerous characters and in more detail throughout the movie. It does have some great fight scenes and awesome new weaponry that brings the show and comic book to life. On that same note though I would say it felt like the cartoon still sometimes. Simply put, the graphics weren't completely on par with some of the other movies to come out in its genre, but a believable plot and key characters from the comic that were in the movie are definite plus's. Overall, just make sure you watch in theatres.
