Hollywood Runs Childhood Memories

G.I. Joe
won a weekend at the box office two weekends ago. Between that and
the summer-long success of
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
, people are talking about the power of toy company HASBRO at the box office. But just because the promise of childhood nostalgia has been enough to lure twenty-somethings into the theater, it doesn’t necessarily mean they’ve been leaving happy.
Transformers 2
has a dismal 20% rating on
Rotten Tomatoes
.
G.I. Joe
is faring only slightly better. And these are just the latest creative disappointments in Hollywood’s never-ending quest to bring our most beloved childhood memories to life on the big screen/
