Saw it this morning. It was alright. It isn’t the worst movie I ever seen. And as far as raping childhoods go, it is faaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr behind Transformers 2 and Terminator: Salvation just from this summer.
As far as it no longer being an explicitly American team, that is really only brought up twice, when the Joes first meet Duke and Ripcord and then when Gen. Hawk explains who they are. Of the ones we follow for most of the movie, Duke, Ripcord and Scarlett are all American. Heavy Duty is English and Breaker is Morroccan. Snake Eyes, of course, is indeterminate.
Really, it's better than TS? I didn't see Transformers 2 (and don't plan to), but I did see TS and didn't think it was horrible. It wasn't great or even good, but was just average.
I don't think I'll see it because of the director's comments - plus the fact that my wife would me me reciprocate with a chick-flick, probably starring Matthew McConaughey. Considering I'm still in therapy trying to erase "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past" from my memory, I'm not going to risk it.
