It also has good actions scenes, like battle of ninjas in the mountains, without any dialogues or final battle on the tanks. And world leaders playing nuclear football scene was amazing.

It is not high art, but a quality modern action movie, which is dumb and fun.

Pretty much all of this, yeah.

It was definitely the closest thing we got to a valid and quality G.I. Joe flick in live action. Although I think it was actually modeled more after the G.I. Joe Renegades show thematically than ARAH.

The real killer is that they could've more easily pounded out a G.I. Joe franchise on film than a Transformers one for so many reasons, but they can't seem to do it. Hell, in some ways if I want a badass G.I. Joe film, I can watch the three Expendables flicks.
