Purely based on having a bunch of those 3 3/4 in toys as a kid, I’ve always preferred G.I. Joe to Transformers, despite the fact that the latter is objectively better. This was hammered home while watching this movie that HEAVILY relies on a deep knowledge of the TV show, unlike the Transformers movie which just rules no matter what your familiarity is.
There’s so much baggage in this movie that I had to just learn and accept in real time and ALL of it was stupid. Their leader isn’t Cobra Commander, but rather a dude they genetically engineered from ancient snake DNA. But then we learn that he was ACTUALLY made by an ancient snake society of which Cobra Commander is a member.
So this devolves into the new and less known Joes fighting a bunch of monsters to stop them from doing the same thing Bowser wants to do in the 90s Super Mario Bros movie. Oh, and I guess all the more well known Joes were captured before the movie started? That’s right, no Snake Eyes! Can you imagine!
Anyway this thing is a toothless bore that doesn’t even have the balls to kill any characters, unlike Transformers who will kill your best friends on screen and laugh while you scream for them.
