yup, it sucked! they played that trailer so many times that i eventually wanted to go see this thing. i even went into it with low expectations and just ready to have a fun action time, yet they couldn't even deliver on that front.
the first big fight/battle scene in the G.I. Joe headquarters was pretty good and the crazy car chase/fight/action sequence through the streets of paris was just ridiculously fun, but thats pretty much it. the rest of the movie is mediocre acting, bland directing and a script that was literally laugh out loud bad much of the time.
if i had had a pen and paper in the theatre with me i would have written them all down, but needless to say the script was line after line of typical, predictable and corny dialogue in the vain of: "i'll be back for you", "i'm not giving up on you", "what we are about to do could get us in lots of trouble so if anyone wants to leave now, i will understand"(yup, you guessed it... no one leaves), "i know you still love me", "this was our mission, so we aren't leaving"... you get the idea (and those are just paraphrased and not as good as the real ones). oh yeah, i almost forget about the sunglasses-wearing-toughguy-cemetery-motorcycle-driveby... that's a classic move.
remember those really funny Hot Shots movies? the ones that used all those stereotypical moments and dialogue bits because they were making a satire of those kinds of films? well, that is what G.I. Joe felt like - except it isn't trying to be a satire of anything which just makes it funny and kind of sad.

Seconds Like after a figure from a distance like a monkey swing over, and then light falls on the north face of the tree trunk on the station from the north
