I took my son to see the "#1 Movie in America" last night. Frankly, it was shallow, the characters were mostly sketches with all but the most basic outline of their motives left to our imagination, and the villainous plot had major holes in it. Basically, it exceeded my expectations for what a G.I. Joe movie ought to be. The action was relentless, mostly very well done, and less engaging than it might of been until the climax, which hooked me despite my lack of caring for the characters. Overall, I was pretty surprised it was as good as it was. So, go in with low expectations and you should be pleasantly surprised.

Say it ain't so, Joe.
If I go expecting to be pleasantly surprised because of my low expectations, my expectations won't actually be that low, will they?
Perhaps if I go see it while trying not to think of a bear in the corner ..
