Actually, the best part is he did the voice spot on when he took off the breather.

Yeah, I had to turn my brain off for that part.  Told myself that all the huge slabs of ice must have been weighed down by all manner of machinery.

Yeah, well maybe those air bubbles were packed with some invisible gas that's far heavier than regular air?  OMG WAIT.  They were also crawling with invisible nano-mites, and those things are pure metal.

Ok, shut up all of you. This was an asskicker popcorn movie, with hot chicks fighting each other, and just barely not too much Marlon Wayans.

Really though, I quite enjoyed it. While it was full of braindead moments, I liked the fact that they tried to have an explanation or motivation behind each character, especially the bad guys - except maybe Zartan, who's motivation seemed to be that he liked stabbing people.

I think the biggest suprise for me was how much I didn't care for Eccelston, who I've loved in everything else he's done. I really think it was the atrocious accent.

Despite making fun of the falling ice chunks, I agree with you.  I liked this movie a surprising amount.

Also, isn't that what a Scottish accent is supposed to sound like?

Watch Stargate Atlantis.  Watch the Doctor.

That's what it sounds like.

For special kicks, track down the episode where they're 'writing home' to love ones through the compression video camera.  See how he reacts when talking to his mum ?  That's what Scottish people sound AND feel like.

Went last night with the wife.
Well as the token guy who normally likes all the explosion filled pop corn movies... I didnt really like this. I didnt not like but was more "meh" as an over all feeling about it.

The CG sucked. Flat out sucked. And normally Im not one to get all nerd bitchy about shit like that. That first scene where the Osprey jet rip offs were hovering down into the giant mechanical asshole in the sand...that couldnt have gotten any worse. There were a few scenes like that where the awfulness of the CG just leapt out at me.

Baroness versus Scarlett.......Scarlett wins hands down. Holy shit her red-haired-giant-tittiness had me turned on when the wife and I got home last night.

The sequel should be GI Joe: Scarlett in the Bikini Battle

Fake edit- Why doesnt spellcheck like "leapt"? Its a word.

I saw this for free piggybacking off Inglorious Basterds.

I'm glad I did. Paying for it would has ruined what little entertainment that wasn't T&A appreciation that I got out of this film.

You mean the fact that they actually went out of their way to point out in the movie that it was ice and steel by SAYING OUT LOUD that it was ice and steel wasn't enough?  Finally watched this on blue ray last night, loved it for the most part.  I specially liked Storm Shadow and Baroness basically waltzing into the super secret JOE fortress and walking out with the super secret bombs after kicking the shit out of everyone.   Hope it made enough money for a sequel.

"It had some steel in it." isn't really a very good answer, it's about the displacement.  You see?

Let me put it this way.  The ice was floating with the steel in it ALREADY.

My biggest problem with the movie was when Heavy Duty said "Yo Joe!" it wasn't big enough. He just sorta kinda said it. I wanted a huge, drawn-out "YOOOOOOOOOO JOE!!!!!"

I loved how they didn't explain away nicknames. I hate that. "Wow, that scientist is a real...mind...BENDER!!!!!" No, his name was Doctor Mindbender, and that's that, like he was born with it.

Which was part of the surface ice flow.  So once the chunks of steel and ice were blown free, there was less ice to help to keep it floating.

I honestly think the recent G.I. Joe comic does a way better version of GI Joe getting started than this movie. It's not really any more realistic but the first storyline mostly consists of Snake Eyes out to prove that there's this super secret terrorist organisation called Cobra and goes rogue with Scarlet helping him and ensuing firefights and arrests of GI Joe rogue agents along with whole towns in America that are secretly Cobra run, etc. It's over the top and ridiculous but in a far more awesome way than this film was.

I really don't think so, these things were ice mountains pretty much.  Displacing millions of tons of salt water (which is already more buoyant).  I don't think we ever saw near enough steel structure in the surface area to even come close to sinking them.  Add to the that the fact that none of the steel was solid, it's all hollow (conduits and building structures) and probably trapping air thus displacing more water for it's given mass I'm just not buying it.

I mean, steel ships with just a little air trapped in them sit and bob around on the surface for days while they are sinking.  Just saying it had steel in it doesn't cut it.

Finally bothered to acquire this, yikes, terrible terrible movie.

+1 amazed I found a redhead so hot, I really loved those black plastic boob armor vests they kept putting her in.

Storm Shadow was way cooler then Snake Eyes and neither was as cool as they should have been considering they were ninjas.

Watched it today thanks to Netflix.  It was a fun movie with hot chicks.  And they tried to have some character development anyway.  My expectations were pretty low, so I was pleasantly surprised.  Did I mention the hot chicks?  OMG the redhead, oh meow!  And yes, I liked it too when outnumbered Cobra agents break into the MAIN GIJoe base and kick ass.  Good job making the bad guys bad-ass!  Lastly, I really liked Cobra Commanders origin.  Didn't see it coming.

I never was a fan of the cartoon, but I would go see a sequel.  As long as the red-head keeps wearing skintight outfits!

Making this arise from the grave just to mention that it just went up on Netflix streaming.

So I was bored and watched it.

Hot chicks were hot.

Got confused because I remember Duke and Scarlett being an item as a kid so that was kinda weird. Marlon Wayons was less annoying than the guy who played Duke to me.

Overall enjoyed it because I was not expecting much.

Actually in the comics Scarlet and Snake Eyes were an item and he couldn't talk because he'd gotten a mouthful of flame while saving her life during a mission.
