"obvious plot holes such as why anyone would be allowed anywhere near a mission against his scorned lover when their connection could severely compromise his judgment..." -- Yes. First thing I noticed too!

Also, RTFM, Ripcord! Elite counter-terrorist personnel do not screw up with not knowing how to use their gear! You had a clear shot, a wrist-mounted GATLING GUN, and at least 2-3 seconds before Stormshadow fired that rocket. You could've saved the Eiffel Tower!

"Then again, considering she graduated college at 12, I suppose she's allowed to be emotionally stunted." --- Hmmm, you do have a point here. I found her very two-dimensional in the movie.

Also, I laughed so hard at her 4-laser-pointer crossbow with a built in camera-rewinding-targetting system. So impractical.

"There is not one scene displaying a woman that does not show off her cleavage." -- And they're supposed to be a professional outfits too! (Terrorists/Military have images to keep!).

I found it funny that Scarlett's accelerator suit has specifically designed spaces for her breasts. Custom-made is custom-made, I guess. What if they get a girl who doesn't have the Most Common Superpower? Back to the drawing board.

I wonder if the girl G.I. Joes are called "Joes" too, or if they use "Janes". Hmm.

When my movie-mates waited 'til the end of the credits, I was soooo waiting for the Unrelated Lesson that happens after the movie. Alas, nothing.

P.S. Sienna Miller is still the hotness.

Exactly! Women can be hot without flashing everyone.

Ahahaha yes it's so weird.

Duke did say knowledge is half the battle somewhere in the movie. :p
