Not sure if it's new, but the Apple page says it's exclusive.
We'll see how Inglorious Basterds manages against GI Joe

I never see any of those names on regular RT ever and if they're there, they're buried as shit. The only real critic there is Emmanuel Levy and his quote is, "This cartoonish flick is not as cheesy or silly as Sommers' former work (The Mummy, Van Helsing), but it's like a long, noisy, relentlessly violent videogame lacking plot and character, with the robot-like actors marginal in the overall design."

Look, i have nothing against the film, and USA Today apparently ran a bullshit story against it and it had to be bulled cause no one on their staff actually saw it and i get that people are out to get it and it sucks, but Paramount's "oh we're not hiding the film," quote seems to be suspect if only 8 critics, 7 of them being very pliant are up there.

Wolverine, which had a lot of hype before it, but leaked and got savaged by critics still got to $85 million opening weekend. But it sort of flamed out and finished with $180 domestic on a $150 million budget (foreign box office was additional $183 million).

GI Joe cost $175 (more than Wolverine, Iron Man and a little less than TDK, Pirates ?!). This can't be a huge hit. They've already screwed it up.

Let's see how it plays out. Should be interesting. It cost a shit ton, will it make its money back and or earn a profit? Remains to be seen.

Nothing we say about GI Joe will ever matter, sadly.
