With all the old school cartoon classics being remade into successful movies will G.I. Joe be able to live up to the hype? Well from what I’ve been reading it’s worthy of the outstanding reviews and then some. So far though I would have to say the most recent Batman remake has been the best out of all the classics. I haven’t really seen enough to give an honest constructive opinion but here is what the LAtimes had to say:
We promised to keep regular tabs on “G.I. Joe’s” amazingly positive reviews, which are amazingly positive — so far — since Paramount has only been showing the film to certified fan-boy zealots, keeping all of the mainstream critics away from the film until it opens on Friday. Yesterday, the film registered an 80 on Rotten Tomatoes; today the film has skyrocketed to an 85, putting it up there with such genuine critical darlings as “(500) Days of Summer” and “The Hurt Locker.”
Blackfilm.com’s Wilson Morales offered this glowing assessment, saying that “despite all the brou-ha-ha … about the state of the film, ‘G.I. Joe’ is a pure adrenaline fantasy and fun ride.” Of course, if it was really that good, why would Paramount be keeping all the critics away? Let’s see how the film fares tomorrow. Could it go even higher, like into “Citizen Kane” territory.
