If you can look past the slightly ropey 2009 era CGI plus one or two terrible examples of Foley, this film, like another Hasbro licence (I'm looking at you Battleship) is perfect for when you just want to switch your brain off and enjoy the whiz bang boom explosions as well as all the insanely corney one liners.
Sure, it wasn't greatly received in the States through it not being real G. I. Joe (having international members instead of just Americans) or the fact that it wasn't called Action Force like the cartoon in the old days for the rest of the World.
It'll never be an action classic, but I think that was sort of the point.
But it does have Brendan Fraser briefly and that's a good thing!
