Someone explain to me why someone thought making a movie about the most depressing part of life was a good idea? Seriously. I am sitting at home unemployed, looking for work after avoiding doing the very same thing after my first degree. And you think I want to go watch a movie about a better looking version of me doing the same thing? I don’t think so. Perhaps I’m not their target audience.

It is sure to be enjoyed by those whose movie appreciation is defined by the ability to discern that moving pictures and sound are being employed to depict violence. Nevertheless, it is better than Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. There is never any clear sense in the action of where anything is in relation to anything else. You get more of a binary action strategy. You see something, it fires. You see something else, it gets hit. Using the power of logic, you deduce that the first thing was aiming at the second thing.
— Roger Ebert’s review of “G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra”
