Why when I have never enjoyed and asked for my money back after seeing the Mummy and have never bothered with another Steven Sommers film? I never have seen a movie of anyone but Dennis Quaid, and I only like him half the time. I've hated everything ever made into a movie by this set of screen writers.

If by pompous you mean people who can divorce GI Joe and analyze things like plot, pacing, character development etc, all things that matter when you only get $60 to spend on things like movies/books/toys a month, you have to be very careful with your money. IMDB is mostly movie fans, people who just go to movies because they like the theater. Rottentomatoes is minus most of the critics this time, so it's not just critics who are panning it.

I don't have to like something just because they slap GI Joe on the banner. Excuse me if I ask for quality or at least people capable of it.

Is for constructive criticism (will even settle for destructive) just anything but "Nice shot" or "Awesome".
