On the one hand, there's an unlabeled spoiler right there.

On the other hand, the warning must be given. The people must be told.

I blame the movie's director for taking such a shockingly stupid direction with The Baroness that parts of my brain had to shut down in self defense just from reading about it.

Spoiler tags added.

But then Baroness interrupts the evil nanite-slaving because she still loves Duke deep down! And then it turns out that ALL ALONG Baroness was in fact a nanite zombie slave the whole time! This is awesome because instead of having Baroness be an independent woman who has chosen a malicious path, this confirms that secretly all along she wanted to be a good upstanding wife and have babies and salute the flag and be blonde.

please for the love of all that is good in this world tell me that is sarcasm

Actually the basic facts there are pretty true... yeah...

Also? The main plot of the movie.

Seriously. The Joe / Cobra war has just as much screentime or maybe a little less.

Also, the Duke / Baroness Flashbacks become a tad more creepy because the only other characters that do get a flashback are Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes.

...so, there is that extra level of creepy there.

Look, if it makes you feel better I'll go edit the post. Then we can all move on to address the outanding issues in this thread.

    All and all, it's no masterpiece. But it IS a well put together action flick. Totally worth your viewing, even if just once. Its way better than what we're used to see in these kinds of movies recently.

Well, the bottom line is that it actually is a fun movie and the plot IS in fact nicely put together... for the source material.

If you can accept Both transformers movie, if you enjoyed Live Free or Die Hard, or if, someway somehow, you liked Terminator Salvation... well... G.I. Joe just doesn't fall behind.

What is so bad about it is that every time Duke and the baroness are on screen you have 80% chance of rolling your eyes, and the other 20% is because they are there but someone else is talking. So, the main flaw of the movie is the fact that they are important to the plot... but the villains? Well done! The rest of the joe team? Hell, that was well done too...

The action is fun and actually better than what i expected (The Super Suits actually come off as Rookie training devices, which i though was a nicely done push for a obvious toy)

You don't loose anything if you wait for a DVD or Bludisc of it. You can certainly enjoy it outside of a movie theater. But there is sure as hell no need to toss it into the abyss of hellfire and claim roaring "Unclean! Uncleaaaan!"... ok i might have gone a tad overboard on the last bad analogy.
