Dove Review
This movie has almost non-stop violence. Included in the mix are people set on fire, explosions, people shot and blasted, stabbings, bloodied bodies, and…well, you get the idea. Although there are a few twists in the story which are interesting, this film is not family-friendly at all, especially with the strong language that is included.
This is not the G.I. Joe some fans might have expected. It is a CGI showcase, with lots of death, betrayal, and darkness. We unfortunately cannot award our Dove “Family-Approved” Seal to this violent movie.
