Entertaining in parts but a mess of a plot with some shoddy visual effects even by 2009 standards. Some stunt work was alright but nothing that really stands out and none of the cast really were all that memorable. Did appreciate some of the nods to the cartoons but otherwise just very forgettable. **2.75/5**

From the Egyptian desert to deep below the polar ice caps, the elite G.I. JOE team uses the latest in next-generation spy and military equipment to fight the corrupt arms dealer Destro and the growing threat of the mysterious Cobra organization to prevent them from plunging the world into chaos.

**Poor excuse for a movie.** Well i watched this movie last night. And i think i'm developing a bit of esp, because this junk is getting easier to spot as it appears on the horizon. For example, when i first heard of this movie i though "oh no, another America movie, by some American company, trying to make as much money as they can, over-using cgi, and totally destroying a good thing, that being the original…
