    Yeah, I missed the entire desert ambush scene. I started watching from where G.I. Joe were having a meeting with Destro's hologram where he sneakily activated the warhead's tracking beacon without the Joes' knowledge.

    I'm not really a GI Joe fan so I dunno if I'd see it again. Also finding spare time to watch movies for me now is $#/&^@ hard! I still haven't seen Terminator Salvation or the latest Harry Potter yet!!

    (who knew having a baby could be so time-consuming?!??)

    Saw this over hte weekend and I have to say that it was very good. Not the most well-constructed masterpiece but it was plenty of fun while giving fans enough. GI Joe is a distant memory to me and what bits I remember come from comic solicitations! But I did find this to be a very enjoyable action flick in its own right. The cutting edge technology, vehicles and weapons and fight scenes all made it very enjoyable.

    I was pretty sure that Duke and Baroness enver hooked up but it worked for me until it was revealed she under the control of Rex as that was what made it quite interesting. Not that I didn't care for her and Duke's r/ship less but to me its far too an easy out and destroys a lot of potential character work

    Cobra Commander or just the Commander?To me, the moment at the start when there was the Cobra, it seemed like he'd be Cobra Commander

    Gotta say too the chick playing Baroness looks much better in dark hair.

    And yup, I agree with others that this was better than ROTF. Not TFM though. The thing about TFM is that it had a bit of heart, it made you watch in wonder as you saw robots you grew up knowing take new form and centre stage. GI Joe was very much the same thing.

    How is the movie doing in the US? Are there chances of a sequel? Cos I'd certainly look forward to

    From what I saw, at 3 weeks its ranked 16th on the US yearly gross for 2009 chart just below Terminator Salvation currently.

    It hasn't flopped but nor has it achieved true Blockbuster status. A sequel is plausible but far from guaranteed.

    If worse comes to worse and there is no sequel, I hope Hasbro make a cartoon or comic.
