The one persistent thought that went through my mind while watching G.I. Joe: Retaliation was
that the childhood adventures I puppeteered with my G.I. Joe figures
where much more creative and fun than anything cooked up by the
filmmakers in charge of this franchise. Of course, I would throw
Transformers, Star Wars guys, He-Man and other toys into the mix, an
impractical possibility on a corporate and imaginative level, but it was
infinitely more satisfying than what they’ve put up on screen. Twice.
And in spire of all the different players I threw in during my playtime,
infinitely more logical too.
