Forget about how stupid some lines can get (and that's a difficult one, with things like "Nice shoes" or "that's the first fight I've ever lost since I was five" or even when Destro actually becomes Destro). Forget about the annoying habit every character has of explaining every single part of the plot. Forget about how cliché or unimportant the newly introduced characters can be (For the Love of Bono, they have names like Dr. Mindbender and Heavy Duty!!!) Forget about how predictable and even disappointing the end can get. Done? OK, now you can actually enjoy G.I: Joe: Rise of Cobra! You see, the important thing about ROC is that they KNOW this isn't meant to be taken seriously. It's just harmless fun. Last time I went to look for that, I was shocked by one of the worst movies I've ever seen: Transformers 2:ROTF. And this year has been A Series of Unfortunate Events if I ever saw one: Wolverine, Terminator, Transformers. Definitely, a year to forget. Sure there have been masterpieces like Star Treak and Watchmen (I loved them both, so you may be, by now, beginning to understand what's the difference between you and me on movie tastes), but ROC is the first DUMB movie of the year that is actually good.
So how can I have liked ROC and hated ROTF if they are pretty much the same movie? Well, yea ROC has everything Transformers had, but done in the correct way. Explotions, action? Check. And these look good enough, not the metal orgy you had on ROTF. Hot chicks? Check, and on waaaay more likable characters than the overrated Megan Fox or the Terminatrix (yes, the one that appears on Transformers). Comedy? Check, still kinda stupid and stuff but not offensive and racist as ROTF. Cartoon characters? Check. And not nearly as obnoxious and idiotic as Shia's excuse of a troubled teenager.
It's just a ride. A dumb easily forgotten ride, but a fun one nonetheless. As long as you don't go expecting Kusturica, I promise you at least you won't get Bay.
