It came free from Disney as a reward for procuring some princess costumes and all they offered was DVD. And yeah - I hated GI Joe. I actually fast forwarded through the 2nd half to see if there was anything I wanted to watch but it just seemed like crazy, over the top action and effects but boring. I know the Transformers flicks are the same formula but they didn't bore me as much as this flick did. To each his own, I guess. Either way - they both pale in comparison to something as awesome as Avatar. That's also wall to wall effects but in service of a story, that while familiar, is also pretty epic and exciting.

I guess you didn't like the Kung Fu grip or knowing is half the battle quips! There is a lot to groan about in Bay's Transformer flicks too. Honestly, I feel they aren't that far apart from one another. At least this one had two better looking women than Megan Fox and Shia Lebouf. C'mon, it has Mr. Eko too! I keep meaning to ask if you got the kids Up on Blu-ray for Xmas... I assume yes and would love to watch with them like we did Wall-E last year. Hated it? That is pretty strong.

As much as people knock Bay for his Transformers flicks, at least they are somehwat entertaining. GI Joe just left me groaning most of the time. As for Up, you know how I feel about that flick but just to show that Pixar can do no wrong, they took a movie starring an octogenerian and made it one of the more exciting flicks of the year. Great, great movie!!! I HATED G.I. Joe. As much as people knock Bay for his Transformers flicks, at least they are somehwat entertaining. GI Joe just left me groaning most of the time.
