it's only fail if you weren't that big into GI Joe when you were growing up.

I loved it. I thought the whole accelerated suits thing would have turned me off from it but they managed to make it work.

The GI Joes (or Action Force as they were known over here) were my second favourite after the Transformers. I'm guessing I'm gonna like it

To say this movie is absurdly racist and an enormous steaming pile of revisionist history bullshit is an understatement. However, it is a landmark film in the history of cinema filled with many innovations which are now completely entrenched pieces of the language of cinema especially in terms of the camera work and the editing. It's also an interesting unintentional document of how socially acceptable extreme racism was in American culture back in those days. On the other hand, it was controversial even in it's day so that at least gives me a little hope. Worth watching if you have an interest in the history of cinema and don't mind sitting through a silent film that's over three hours long but be advised that this movie will probably piss you off.

By far the most polarizing film ever made.

DW Griffith was the true pioneer of American filmmaking, and this film is probably his greatest technical achievement. And in all it's technical achievements it IS a brilliantly made film.

People need to understand that this was a different movie for a different time, and of course times change, today just about anyone who is not a klansmen or skinhead can agree that this is probably the most ridiculously offensive film ever made.

Well, at least until Eddie Griffin, Martin Lawrence and The Wayans Brothers starting doing movies.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't have a fascination with racist iconography though.

Transformers 2, Terminator Salvation and X-Men Origins Wolverine were my last. Have been traveling since so yet to catch up on the new ones. BTW anyone saw District 9 and if so how is it?

I want to see District 9 for sure, I heard its amazing anyway.. The last movie I saw was the original Inglorious Bastards. Very funny. Generally kinda old and stuff but a good laugh. Before that I saw Public Enemies which made me want to be cool enough to pull off a bank robbery...ya. I recommend.

Red x? Never heard of it.

Lol, but seriously I love Good Will Hunting too. I know people who really hate it, but you can't please everybody.

Plus getting a decent performance out of Ben Affleck is no easy task.
