Rented "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra".
It would have been adequately enjoyable as a cartoon on Saturday morning. It even had a moment of mwhahahaha from the evil villain, who ends up calling himself the Commander. With plenty of villainous monologuing.
In some ways, I would have enjoyed the movie more if the villain had actually laughed more with maniacal glee. Instead, we don't really get to see the eeeevil geeenius until the last 1/4 of the movie, and by then, the revelation doesn't matter. The impact is lost in the midst of "meh".
Too bad. I loved seeing the Joes kick Cobra's butt every Saturday morning. I still think Snake Eyes is the best character, but that's just cos I like ninjas. And the fact that the good ninja wore black while the bad ninja wore white. Cheezy, but awesome!
What's up next:
Masters of the Universe (He-Man)
Thundercats
Smurfs
Any more I missed?
