So what can I say about GI Joe, her new summer blockbuster? Not much, except that is insultingly inane, cynically commercial, and almost unwatchably awful.If you programmed a computer to cobble together a movie out of every cinematic cliche - futuristic weaponry, interminable explosions, dodgy accents, leather catsuits - GI Joe is pretty much what you would end up with.
