Well, the movie did NOT suck. It was not an art film by any means but I'd guess it was about on par with Transformers; plenty of action, not a lot of acting skills, **** blows up good...that kind of thing.
There is some really bad CGI in places. Some ridiculous situations and continuity errors that stand out. The accelerator suits? Blah. Not a fan, mostly because they're part of a kind of crappy sequence which owned a lot of that bad CGI I mentioned.
Scarlett, supposed to be hot. Baroness, supposed to be hot. Cover Girl, supposed to be hotter. Not in the movie. Karolina Kurkova is good looking but doesn't do it for me. Rachel Nichols and Sienna Miller, on the other hand, are both insanely hot in this film.
Wayans is not annoying. He, in fact, has some pretty funny one-liners early in the film, most of which are nods to both RAH and vintage GI Joe. It actually was a fun way to get some of that stuff in without making him a clown in the movie. Of course, if you've seen the trailers, you've seen he has at least one sight gag.
A lot of the film's dialog seems to be delivered with overly serious, tough sounding one-liners...like the writers just strung together a bunch of stuff by going through a bunch of Schwarzenegger and Stalone films.
I liked Breaker, funny guy.
The way they tied together the stories of SE/SS, Duke, Ripcord, Baroness, Destro and the Commander is way off book. It's all new continuity. Not sure what I think of some of it. There's some awesome (SE/SS), some good (Commander & Destro), some just okay (Duke & Baroness).
Nanomites. Meh. I think the film relied too much on that crutch. But, that's what you get when you rush a script out before an industry-crippling strike.
Outfits were generally good. The accelerator suits I'm not ever going to like. Didn't like the mouth on Snake Eyes' mask. Sienna Miller can rock the leather. Dennis Quaid could have been used better.
Decent film. Has sequel potential but I'm not thinking that this film is going to burn up the charts. There were less than 50 people for the midnight showing last night. Even Angels & Demons had better turnout and that film sucked.
E...
