    "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra" overcame bad buzz and scathing reviews to win the weekend with $56.2 million, among the best August openings in history for a non-sequel.

    I saw it and it was entertaining. It wasn't great but I didn't expect it to be. The girls were all crazy hot.

    Saw it tonight...not bad after all the bad press it got for a long time. The female talent was outstanding and action wasn't bad! Sequel is setup and shouldn't take much more box office to get it going!

    Still not buying it. Looks like the worst thing since AIDS.

    Don't go in expecting much. I went in expecting awful but it turned out to be a great comedy! As others said, girls were hot, too.

    I still think they should have used Kate Beckinsale instead.

    No way. And I'll be interested in how the box office does next week. I'll see it eventually so that I can skewer it properly.

    Is it true there's a scene where
    they blow up an iceberg or some ice somewhere and it sinks to try and crush the joes submarine?
    I hope the audience groaned out loud.

    Just saw it tonight. I went in expecting action, cheesy lines, hot chicks, and explodey stuff, and that's exactly what I got.

    Could it have been more serious and thus better? Sure. Did I groan a time or several? Yup. Was I thoroughly entertained? Absolutely.

    It's GI Joe, people....not Citizen Kane.

    didn't care for it.

    if only they had this scene in it:
    <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Sji46_rg4ec&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Sji46_rg4ec&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

    It was a good action movie. It was much easier to distinguish the characters compared to Transformers.

    It was better than Transformers 2 but that isn't saying much.

    I had advanced screening passes for it. I decided to stay in and play halo, did i make a miscall? It didn't seem as awesome as people were saying it was...

    I heard it was better than Transformers 2, and more self-aware cheesy.

    I went in with no expectations and I was still dissapointed.
