Look, this wasn't one of the greatest movies of all time. But if your looking for a fast moving, action packed, special effects extravaganza, this is your movie. Just think "a cartoon that comes to life."

Serves it's purpose, but doesn't offer much else. Typical summer action movie in every way. Would've been a lot cooler if I was 10.

Full of action, great effects, poor plot and character development, 2 hour movie felt like a 3 hour movie, I just wanted it to be over.

Review - G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009)

Ladies and gentlemen, THIS is how you adapt a toy line. Bratz? Transformers? Horrible movies alike. G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, however, doesn't just get it right, but rather they excel at something no one thought was possible: a really awesome adaptation of an already established toy franchise. Wow, that's rather specific, but regardless, this is what I'm here to review.

In a top secret military base in a top secret location work several top secret world government officials doing top secret things to defend the world from top secret forces. Their current mission: Stop a new group of terrorists known as Cobra. Our story centers around two soldiers who are unwittingly recruited into the fight after a rather messy weapon retrieval operation by Cobra goes sour.

This is by far one of ...

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra Review

I have a similar story with G.I. Joe as to Transformers, I was a huge fan of the toys as a kid but barely even knew the TV show existed at the time since I didn't watch much TV when I was a kid until I was maybe 13 give or take. Now the movie adaptation has come out, and I got a chance to see it finally. The story as you might figure is based on the "Rise of Cobra" as well as providing an origin story for the main characters. Without giving away too much, that's pretty much the story in a nutshell. You may have seen the ads talking about how it's made by Stephen Sommers the same guy who made The Mummy and The Mummy Returns, and it certainly shows. The story does enough to get it's point of the characters across, but for the most part it's about cool gadgets and over the top stunts and a c...

The classic popcorn action flick is back!

copy and paste below for the audio podcast
http://www.box.net/shared/static/jzfyvmlz9z.mp3

“G.I. Joe” rated PG-13 for strong sequences of action, violence, and mayhem throughout
Starring—Dennis Quaid, Channing Tatum, Sienna Miller, Marlon Wayans
Directed by—Stephen Sommers
Welcome to classic popcorn movie with explosive action, mythical weapons, and unbelievable stunts. It’s the olde fashioned story of good guys vs. the bad guys with an exciting and engaging 1st ten minutes of the film which keeps the pace and your attention nearly all the way through. The dialogue and the script, however leaves something to be desired. Some of the transitions and character development were a little cheesy, but I liked that they maintained the same plot all the way through and didn’t try to c...

I hate this movie.  It had to be one of the worst movies I have seen.  A lot of people on this website: http://www.ranker.com/lis t-of/film  agree.  Although a lot of people on this website disagree with the majority of my views. G.I. Joe is meant to be a childhood cartoon and action figure, not a motion picture.
