GIJOE F, Perfect Getaway D (would be a B if I didn't notice an outrageous "cheat") -- nm - ceregon Aug 10, 08:04 7
- Care to spoil the cheat? -- nm - MDH Aug 10, 08:12 6
  - Sure (spoiler for ridiculous twist) - ceregon Aug 10, 08:22 5
    - I didn't like the movie, but the one thing I'll say to defend that cheat (spoilers) - Danoslam Aug 10, 08:29
    - and it's pretty bad when they movie has to *advertise* that there is a twist, which of course makes it obvious what it was, without even seeing it. -- nm - znufrii Aug 10, 08:23 3
      - Yup, as soon as I saw the ad that announced "the twist" I knew what it was -- nm - Stephen Aug 10, 08:29
      - IIRC it used to be pretty common for older movies to advertise that. - con_carne Aug 10, 08:28 1
        
        That might have worked when audiences were less savvy and cynical about moviegoing and more willing to suspend disbelief. - znufrii Aug 10, 08:30

  - I didn't hate it at all. There were things to like. It was a bit too long and I didn't like some of the choices they made on changing things from - pmb Aug 10, 08:06 13
    - spoil - Spawn Aug 10, 08:08 12
      - Spoil - LMS Aug 10, 08:15 3

        (but i still gave it a B+ i think.) -- nm - Elf Andie Aug 10, 08:34
        
        Yeah, this one was all kinds of wrong. -- nm - Spawn Aug 10, 08:18

        I didn't feel that. -- nm - pmb Aug 10, 08:18 6
        
        Explain (spoil) - Spawn Aug 10, 08:19 5

        spoil - Spawn Aug 10, 08:25 3
        
        more on this (spoils) - Elf Andie Aug 10, 08:36
        
        Ok, I remember that to some degree, but I don't remember it so much as a (spoil) - pmb Aug 10, 08:30 1
        
        spoil - Spawn Aug 10, 08:37
GI Joe, D. Good Will Hunting, A. Tombstone, B-. -- nm - con_carne Aug 10, 07:54 3
- GI Joe may not have been great, but come on, it was an entertaining popcorn flick -- nm - MDH Aug 10, 07:59 2
  - It certainly wasn't boring, and the effects/action scenes were mostly solid - con_carne Aug 10, 08:04 1
    - It certainly was boring. The only thing keeping it from an F is the Paris chase scene. All the other "action" sucked. -- nm - Dano Aug 10, 08:05
