Knowing (what makes a good action movie) is half the battle.
Being familiar with the oft-campy source material, I knew G.I. Joe wasn’t going to be Oscar-worthy, and walking into the theatre, I felt my expectations were more than reasonable. I wanted to be entertained, nothing more. I didn’t buy my ticket expecting high-brow, but rather simply to have fun. What I got was a movie whose potential was squandered on a director who seemed to not know quite what to do with it.
