Wait wait wait wait wait.

Cobra Commander has a wig?!

From the moment I saw the frist trailer for this movie, and the over the top super suits. I had a feeling this movie was going to suck. But over time I grew to have hope for it. Thinking "maybe it won't be so bad. Maybe it'll actually be a good movie". But now It seems I might of been right about it (glad I didn't see. Then again, I've lost all faith in movies years ago so thats not saying much). So... was I right? Did it really suck, or was it worth spending $15+.

Geez! You pay $15 to watch a movie?! I thought you guys payed like 5~8~10 bucks for a movie ticket. This movie is worth $10 bucks, but it's not worth $15

...i hope this makes sense on some level.

you pay 10 bucks? I just wait for it to go to the discount theater and pay a buck fifty. Though it does have the psychological hit of paying more for your drink then the movie

Ah! Just for the heck of it i found this video review at the Escapist that is somewhat on par with what i think, so, it might serve some

If you include a drink, some popcorn, and a snack or 2 it's usaully around 15.

What we have here is people nitpicking. Yes, the Baroness is controlled by nanobots, but that doesn't describe the entire movie. It's a fun action movie that accurately captures the spirit of TV series, along with awesome portrayals of most of the characters.

All of the action sequences are well-done and choreographed and the fights between Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow are really cool-looking. The movie respects the source material and actually allows all of the principal characters to live through the movie.

If you payed money to see Transformers 2 but let a few detracting factors and a bad trailer keep you from seeing this one, then I've lost all respect for you.

Wouldn't having the Baroness controlled by nanobots automatically be NOT "respecting the source material?" By something like definition? From what I can tell in past G.I. Joe cartoons and such she is a faux-Nazi (Soviet?) villainess, not a mind-controlled slave, and her romantic interest is Destro, not Duke.

You'll have to forgive me. I forgot I was talking to people who hadn't actually seen the movie for themselves and were prepared to offer up their knowledgeable critique of the film, but rather had worked themselves up over an offhand spoiler someone gave. Allow me to clarify for you.

The nanobots DO NOT control the Baroness in the traditional sense. Cobra Commander doesn't have a team of scientists standing around controlling her every action. In the film, all that they do is alter her memories and feelings, making her blame Duke for her brother's death, but other than that, her actions are her own. Her taunts, personality, and combat skills are her own, as seen during the part of the movie where she was free of the nanobots.

All the nanobots do is push her into joining Destro's cause, not make her a nanobot "zombie". So as a relative minor flaw, I can easily overlook it and enjoy the sheer awesome G.I. Joe-ness that is everything else about this movie.
