I can't take G. I. Joe seriously in any context. Maybe the old 12 inch because they basically were soliders with little flair. The 80's reboot and beyond is just crazy stuff. Not saying that I don't like it - I mean, it's awesome stuff. You got ninjas and hot russian chicks with glasses wearing skin tight pvc. But there's also a dude wearing a football jersey who's code name is the weapon he's carrying, a big black dude who speaks in rhymes, a muscleman mad scientist (with no sleeves on his evil labcoat even) and evil british twins. It's just silly and appeals greatly to the little boy in me.

Or take resolute, which is that same silly stuff with a big fistful of dark and gritty thrown in that appeals to the 20-something in me who liked all that stuff as a little boy.

The only complaint I have about the new movie is cobra comander. Who's that douchebag in the suit? Where is the shrill-voiced guy wearing the metal mask screaming 'you idiots!' When his mooks screw up?
