Well, that was a heck of a lot more fun than I was expecting.
I’ve only seen the first G.I. Joe movie and thought it was pretty meh.
This was suggested to me as being worth the time, and they were right.
Just mindless crazy stunts and fights with a plot that stands firmly with feet in the real world and fantasy and makes no apologies for it.
