Product Description:
AN ELITE MILITARY UNIT COMPRISED OF SPECIAL OPERATIVES KNOWN AS G.I. JOE, OPERATING OUT OF THE PIT, TAKES ON AN EVIL ORGANIZATION LED BY A NOTORIOUS ARMS DEALER.
Amazon.com:
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

This movie is really great. We bought it for our sons after trying to watch the horrible transformers 2 movie (never again). Unlike that movie, this is a fairly wholesome movie, there is some killing and a few cuss words, but all in all it just action packed fun. It kept my sons attention and explained some things about Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes (like why he never talks & how they are related). If your looking for a father-son movie that has a lot of action yet is wholesome, this is it..... ... Read More

My soon to be 7 boy loved it on the big screen and rates it as his "best movie ever", at least until he saw Astro Boy a few weeks ago - twice. We have hundreds of family fodder films, so his viewing experience isn't exactly limited. When a kid loves something so much, how can it not be top rated?
As an old fart of a parent, it's reasonable as generic action flicks go. Probably on par with the likes of the Fantastic Four offerings. A few gags and reasonable action, nothing to get excited ... Read More

Aside from the characters Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes, who were cool and right on target, I have real concerns about whether anyone who worked on this movie ever played with GI Joe guys at all. I guess there were a few off and on moments for Duke and Cobra and crew, but not many. I'm pretty sure if the rest of this movie was worked on by anyone who owned GI Joes, they were big sissies who also owned Barbie dolls and had the two sets playing house together. Still, if they make another movie, I'll have ... Read More

It is only entertainment dont take it seriously. The movie delivers good action and special effects. I truly recommend it.

I came to this movie totally uninformed about G.I.Joe, the team, the action figure,etc. I rented this flick for a buck and had NO EXPECTATIONS! i simply desired to be (somewhat mindlessly) entertained by what i hoped was a real action movie. This flick delivered on that level WAAAY beyond expectations!!!
Not only did i get filled in on the back story and individual characters in concise mini-flashbacks, but the entire plot and acting elements were also a bit above average for what the "average" ... Read More
