For the casual cinemagoer with a nostalgic affection for action figures, it’s looking to be a great year for movies, with Stephen Sommer’s G.I.

Being the geekiest kid in school I naturally read the 80s Marvel series, and remember Storm Shadow, Snake Eyes, Destro and company with a fondness even greater than my love for transforming robots. Still, I’m gonna wait for the reviews on this one before getting all carried away. I managed to resist Transformers 2 last week, and watched Coraline instead – and I don’t regret a thing. But whether my cultured tastes will be able to stand firm against super ninjas and Christopher Eccleston in a steel mask is another matter entirely.
