<\/p>\n
Back in 2004 Paramount released Team America: World Police<\/a>, a comedy in which a special forces unit goes around the world trying to stop terrorist super villains.<\/p>\n A satire on the overblown stupidity of Bush-era foreign policy<\/a> and Hollywood action films, it used plastic marionettes<\/a> instead of actors and deliberately fake sets.<\/p>\n This year with G.I. Joe<\/strong><\/a>, Paramount have essentially made the same movie, only the actors are real (despite being based on toys<\/a>) and the CGI work is only marginally more convincing than the deliberately naff sets used by Matt Stone<\/a> and Trey Parker<\/a>.<\/p>\n
