Critics Reviews Average Grade:   C-
Source Brief Review Grade*
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
"...a loud but proficient slab of explode-o-rama summer blockbuster nonsense, perfectly entertaining if you like that sort of thing, extremely skippable if you don’t." more... B-
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
"There is never any clear sense in the action of where anything is in relation to anything else." more... D+
Chicago Tribune
Geoff Berkshire
"That G.I. Joe is completely ridiculous should come as a surprise to no one. That it's not an outright disaster might be a different story." more... B-
E! Online
Luke Y. Thompson
"...Frequently laugh-out-loud cheesy, and the digital effects are highly dubious." more... C+
Entertainment Weekly
Chris Nashawaty
"...makes Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen look like high art." more... D  
Filmcritic.com
Chris Barsanti
"...A so utterly disposable comic-book film that one forgets it before it ends." more... C  
Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
"...The screenwriters and director Stephen Sommers are determined to mainly deliver one high-octane, heavily CGI-laden action set piece after another, to ultimately deadening effect. " more... C-
New York Post
Kyle Smith
"...Disaster scenes that look like they were recycled from "The Mummy." more... D-
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
"...this pricey, juiceless pulp could never have been killed by critics, simply because it was already dead." more... F  
Reelviews
James Berardinelli
"It's pleasing to the eye but not to any other organ." more... C  
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
"...Scads of pretty people posing awkwardly in military chic and tossing out lame one-liners." more... D-
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Hartlaub
"...Dennis Quaid actually says the words 'When all else fails, we don't' with a straight face." more... C
