Product Description
The elite special missions force called G.I. Joe tries to stop the terrorist organization known as Cobra from launching missiles that could destroy la
The Rise of Cobra is not your grandfather's G.I. Joe. It's more like C.G.I. Joe with explosive special-effects action sequences that provide the film with a surplus of "Boom Boom Pow" (to quote the Black Eyed Peas song that drives the end credits). This blast from the summer past is very much like the metal-munching nano-mite missiles a (literally) mad Doctor (Joseph Gordon-Levitt cashing in some of his indie cred) and McCullen, a Scottish weapons dealer (Christopher Eccleston), threaten to unleash upon the world. It never stops. Ever. The original G.I. Joe action figure was an all-American hero. These Joes are--all together now--"the best of the best," an elite multi-national squad. Two soldiers, Duke (a buff Channing Tatum), an "on the ground, in the fight" kind of guy, and Ripcord (Marlon Wayans), his wisecracking best friend, are rescued by the Joes after they are ambushed while transporting the missiles. These are no ordinary Joes. Snake-Eyes (Ray Park) is a silent ninja, Stella (Rachel Nichols) a bodacious brainiac, Heavy Duty (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) the imposing weapons specialist, and Breaker (Said Taghamaoui) the techie. They are led by gruff Gen. Hawk (Dennis Quaid), who barks out lines like, "When all else fails, we don't," with polish. Duke and Ripcord are recruited to join the classified unit after Duke discovers that Ana (Sienna Miller), his former fiancée, is in cahoots with McCullen and now sports the sinister moniker the Baroness, not to mention killer cleavage-enhancing latex outfits. This being the first in a budding franchise, there is much backstory to cover. Flashbacks date back to 1641! But the order of the day is underground military command centers, underwater evil lairs, gleaming high-tech weaponry, breakneck chases, and cool gadgets, such as a speed-accelerating hydraulic suit. It's enough to make you want to dust off your original Hasbro action figures or, the studio no doubt hopes, buy the new ones. --Donald Liebenson

 Ugh! September 4, 2010

I'm sorry I couldn't find anything at all to like about this film. This has to be the absolute King of those blockbuster films that love to hurl all sorts of poorly edited CGI filled action sequences at the viewer and hope that no one will notice the complete lack of coherence, character development or plot. Yep, this is WORSE than TRANSFORMERS 2, TERMINATOR 4, 2012 and all the rest of the overbudgeted underwhelming nonsense the studios love to crank out. There just wasn't anything to enjoy here. I loved GI Joe as a kid but this film has no genuine relationship to the GI joe stuff I grew up with. Thats fine if the film makers had bothered to change it into something thoughtful, interesting or entertaining. They didn't. It's just one gigantic incomprehensible action sequence after another and for me, that isn't enough to make a film worthwhile.

NEGATIVE August 21, 2010
E Neel (Houston TX)
One of the worst movies of ALL time. Do NOT spend money on this drivel, if anything call up the idiots in Hollywood and demand them to pay you for wasting more than a second of your life on this. AND ALSO - since when is Government Issue Joe an international force, "GI Joe ... the AMERICAN HERO"??
 GOOD ACTION PACT MOVIE August 21, 2010
