    Worst movie of the year is easy...

    Is it still Ishtar?

    How there could be any hope for this movie, when right there, at the top in the poster we see Cobra Commander looking like Cillian Murphy with a horrible dental problem. Truly, one of the greatest cartoon villains of all has fallen immeasurably far

    "Oh, and I should mention that Max Allan Collins is one of my fave writers, and he does a great job with an incredibly silly story."



    How can you say that after some of those silly quotes?



    'But they all knew that when it came to killing bad guys, he was the man.'



    '...squeals "like a Girl Scout whose cookies had been snatched from her"'



    It was almost like reading a 14 year old's online fanfic. I could almost hear the author laughing under his breath about some of the things he was writing. I mean, it seemed too comical to have been unintentional.

    No spoiler alert? And seriously, how could they make a G.I. Joe movie awesome without taking what G.I. Joe truly is completely out of it?



    Nostalgia glasses need to be taken off. It was a cartoon designed to sell toys.

    I thought maybe you were going to farm this one out, like you did with Transformers, but now I see why you kept this all to yourself.



    It's Bulwer-Lytton worthy.



    (BTW, I'm still available for novelization reviews -- I can read one of those in an afternoon.)

    I like the poster for this movie because of how prominently it displays the Baroness's butt. All the other characters face forward, but not her!



    Hot ass, dead center of the poster.



    What's this movie about? Ninja, robot...nano somethings? What?

    @braak: Seriously. Hot Baroness? Check. Hot Scarlett? Check. Slight BDSM undertones? Check. 'S far as I'm concerned the movie's already a triumph. I look forward to pirating it and splicing together the twenty or so minutes I actually care about.

    Are you sure you weren't reading the Children's Novelization with pretty picture every other page?



    Cause good god is that some shitty prose.


    I hope they make an audiobook of this narrated by Snake-Eyes.
