How Violently Does G.I. Joe Suck?

Gawker sums up the reactions from the critics who were barred from seeing the movie before it opened and have been sharpening their knives ever since:

It's almost depressing how shamelessly ready these studios are to pump out sincerely mediocre fare. This is the kind of thing that makes Funny People look like Citizen Kane. Then again, any movie where you can watch the bottom line of an entire industry get lower in front of you might be worth the nine bucks to see. Probably not, but still: impressive.

Seriously, though. With movies like The Hurt Locker and In The Loop in theaters, there's plenty to see before you get to GI Joe.
