OK it has it's pluses.  Sienna Miller and Rachel Nichols mainly but some of the CGI is ok too.  That's it.

Minuses -

1.  The story line is stupid.  I mean yeah it's based off a comic book but it's even beyond comic book stupid.

2.  The acting is horrible.  Make my eyes bleed horrible.  Make my anus bleed horrible.  Let me replicate it in writing for you.

"Ha Ha stupid Joes we have stolen the super weapons"

in a flat monotone voice "Oh....  No.... They have stolen the super weapons. We... must... stop... them."

another GI Joe also completely lacking in inflection "Yes... we... must.  but how."

imagine that for 118 painful minutes.  

3.  The American military is painted as a bunch of incompetents.  Tactics apparently consist of hollering a lot and standing around waiting to be killed. Plus, apparently the way to clear a building is to send in an unarmed doctor (a key plot point by the way) and tell him he has 4 minutes because you have already called in an airstrike and it will be there in 5 minutes.

3a.  The costume people don't even care enough to get uniforms correct.  One of the characters is repeatedly referred to as Captain but he is wearing Majors insignia.  Another is also referred to as Captain and is wearing Master Sergeant stripes.  

4.  Not enough Sienna Miller and Rachel Nichols.

Overall I give it a 1 out of 5.
