That being said, it's not all bad. I mean Rachel Nichols is in it, so I'm predisposed to like it. But, Joseph Gordon Levitt, WTF?!?!?!? This movie and the level of your performance could not be any more different if you tried. I know it had to be difficult acting behind the mask, but even when he was just normal, it was off. Maybe it was that he had more talent than everyone on the screen, my first instinct was that he was just phoning it in. But, that runs in the face of everything I've heard about him from people who have worked with him. My guess is that he just didn't have the experience to play a broad, poorly written character, having played mostly nuanced smaller characters in considerably better written films ["(500) Days of Summer", "Brick"]
Yet still, I look forward to GI Joe II, as there will be less backstory and hopefully a couple more rewrites on the script.
