shyt was ok... granted i'm not familiar with the GI Joe mytho like that, but the main problem with the movie to me was that most of the character portrayals, except for rock/channing early on and bruce in spurts, were pretty bland if not straight up lame. like a buncha them just seemed dressed up with no where to go.

-Flynn, dude was pointless. he was just there to give duke a reason to die and after that, he's just kinda there. nothing entertaining about him, no reason to give a fukk about him.

-lady jaye was cast as the bad bytch who'd typically have the sexual tension thing with one or both of the male leads as a subplot.. except duke died and roadblock was cast as taken/with kids, so they had to settle for flynn.. and then its like they realized right away that no one would care for that or the generic daddy's girl issue... so they tried to salvaged it with the bruce willis stuff.

-jinx was bad bytch #2 but after the mountain top fight scene she was bascally just a background character that didn't have anything to do or say.

-snake eyes/storm shadow served their purpose with the fight scenes, and yea they're not supposed to talk anyway.

-rza... cobra commander... :manny:


so i do see why audiences in the 1st screening a year back said that they wanted more rock/channing scenes... they did have the best chemistry by far and after duke died there was no more character growth or exploration for roadblock. why wasn't he taking promotions? who was lookin after his kids the whole time? where's the baby momma and if she's gone then shiiiit why aint he tryna tap lady jaye?

i didn't go in expecting much sense or reason with the main plot so thats whatever, but i just didn't care much for any of the characters or what was going on except for in the beginning and during the mountain top fight sequence.

This movie made less opening weekend than the original, which also didn't open on Easter weekend. Channing Tatum is a bigger box office draw than Dwayne, which is also proven.

Box office draw, my ass :pachaha:

So fukking what, movie and video game "analysts" or whatever you wanna call them give out the worst fukking advice on what to play/watch :scusthov: . Listen to the people 76% :obama:

But honestly, you're a grown ass adult, if the movie interests you, check it out, if it doesn't, don't. Why so many people rely on unreliable sources to dictate what they play and watch is :mindblown:

Besides, I actually enjoyed the first one and that's at 34% :manny:

The Chaperone - Rotten Tomatoes 29%, really?! It's not a bad movie
That's What I Am - Rotten Tomatoes maybe their best to date, only 60%
Life - Rotten Tomatoes 50?! :pacspit:

See what I mean, I can keep going...



All lies rotten tomatoes is the got damm best place for reviews. I havent picked a bad movie in 4 years because of this site.


I no longer waste my damm money on dumb ass movies because i like the actor :rudy:

I'll take that chance with red box shyt its only a dollar.

Only thing you have to take a gamble with movies between 50%-65% they could still be :ehh: or ass :beli:

So you view their opinion as authority over what you like and don't like before hand......and? I prefer to form my own opinions without the aide of anybody unless I know them personally and know their tastes.

The Class - Rotten Tomatoes
TRASH, Eurocentric bullshyt movie...97 :comeon:

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/coming_to_america/
One of the greatest comedies of all time...68 :mjpls:


I'm not gonna even get into how reviewers, imdb, metacritic, etc shyt on black movies off top, just know somebody else's opinion CAN effect how you watch a movie, listen to a cd, etc etc etc...whether you want to believe it or not, once those seeds are planted, they're there.

Yes I can, fukk those cacs :rudy:

We're supposed to respect their corny no rhythm nor soul having dog kissing opinion on what's good or bad?

I've looked deeply into this (and spent probably way too much time) and the comparison of black movies ratings and white movies is astounding :wow:


With that said, everybody has biases, and I'm not gonna say they're always wrong, but to claim them as some sort of authoritarian over MY views of a movie? In the immortal words of Sho Nuff "........nikka Please" :childplease:


As far as the class goes, you already have it set in your mind that RT can't be wrong therefore you'll "like" the movie off top......hell you saw the 97 and got :inlove: didn't you

I don't watch that shyt. I watch the flick and keep it moving. Just shows how much of a draw he is if they raise the price and they STILL want to see him


Team Bring It 2013

thats not why they did it, they raised the price to garuntee that they would turn a good profit from the bad word of mouth from the first movie. the movie opened well but 3d played a huge part in it. im not saying rock is not a draw, but its a combination of 3d, a huge intellectual property like G.I. Joe and the rock, bruce willis

they did everything they could to try to improve upon the first movie while turning some kind of profit

No matter what.it's #1 and that's that. There's always some excuses for this and for a little of that but I didn't see any of those excuses for the Call when they made a profit. shyt made $132 million worldwide first week. Get serious.
