The whole G.I Joe thing is strange. I think Paramount is making a mistake not screening it.
I also think if the film gets a 20% positive on rottentomatoes the sites that were allowed access and gave it big time postive reviews will be somewhat tarnished by default.

well its at 91 right now, lets have faith
I think it was a smart move and I am excited to check it out (since I was a child of the 80s and loved the cartoon).
I think it’s safe to say that Transformers 2 is pretty much set to clean-up at the Razzies. It’s impending domination will echo that of Titanic’s and Return of the King’s during their Oscar-winning years.
