Everything in this movie is just wrong. Why did they change everything, why was it so stupid, why so much bad acting? I guess I was hoping for too much being a fan of the cartoon. Hopefully it can be fixed in the sequel, oh and the Baroness being Dukes fiance and from the States and no accent STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID!!!!!!!!!!! Ok I'm fine now just need to relax and let it go.
Pirates are returning. This great movie lied in the hands of Gore Verbinski and he didn't mess it up. A film full of adventure, treachery, piracy, amazing battles and victory.
Rex will live on as the infamous Cobra in G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra. Michael B. Gordon did it again as a movie writer. When will we see more of his work? I rate this movie as a five star piece of entertainment. It has all of the plot twists, love triangles, and drama that you would expect in Gone with the Wind, yet rolled into a modern scifi adventure. I'll be waiting for the obvious sequel, for this movie took great pains to set up the whole past, present, and future of Team GiJoe while delivering a stand up plot of its own. See it soon.
THIS MOVIE IS A PERFECT COMBINATION OF WAR, ADVENTURE & SCI-FI, MICHAEL IS ONE OF THE BEST WRITERS IN HOLLYWOOD!!!
THANK YOU MICHAEL FOR ANOTHER EXCELLENT PIECE OF CREATIVE WRITING. 300 WAS A MASTERPIECE & G.I. JOE IS RIGHT BEHIND IT. LOOKING FORWARD TO (G.I.JOE >2< RETURN OF THE COBRA) WITH REX, ANA AND DUKE.....FROM YOUR BIGGEST FAN MARTHA tothe4orce@yahoo.com
He will make star in amazement and laugh. You wonder if some of his lines were meant to be said the way he says them and think about how weird he makes captain jack. He alone is a good reason to watch it.
There is only two reasons to watch this film... 1) if you are so utterly bored, and 2) if you are a fan of Orlando Bloom or Johnny Depp. The movie never should of been made. The worst part is the end, it sets itself up so that some moron could very well continue the Pirates saga if they had enough cash to throw around.
If you have never seen the previous Pirates film this movie would seem disjointed at best. Its clearly set up as filler for the 1st and last movies. It is far better than the 3rd movie in the series, however not as good as the first. Main reasons to see the film are if you are like me, a fan of Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom. They both really carried the film and are imho, the best actors of all 3 films in this trilogy.
True favorite

Gilliam is the king of the "love em or hate em" filmmakers, but Brazil is his best-loved film, and there's a reason. It's visionary, weird, sad, shocking, funny, and dark - plus De Niro plays a terrorist plumber. Might be my favorite movie ever.
Moving, overlooked British saga

Based on the real life story of poets Wilfrid Owen and Siegfried Sassoon's treatment by Dr. William Rivers during the horrors of World War I. When Sassoon writes an anti-war pamphlet, he's sent away for 'the cure', although he's not imbalanced, just rebellious. Excellent acting, wonderful cinematography and sure to bring a tear to your eye, minus over-syrupy sentiment. Bunce steals the movie with his quiet and sensitive portrayal.
