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

If you are looking for something with cool effects, some action scenes and a little eye candy here and there for a kick back evening, this will probably do. It's worth a rent just for kicks, but honestly, it was just entertaining enough to overcome some really horrible acting from Channing Tatum. His stilted lines, rushed delivery and lifeless performance is enough to be truly distracting. I like several of the other actors and frankly they along with the effects save this movie from abject failure. ... Read More

This movie is full of action. Sometimes you can have a little too much action, but very good.

I've always held to the belief that the more of an attachment one has to literary characters, the more apt that person is to criticize a cinematic portrayal of those characters. The G.I. Joe comics were a big part of my life growing up, so when I heard that a movie was being made - scheduled for an August 2009 release (August is, traditionally, a month for dud movies to be released) - I was skeptical.
As far as the acting goes, some of it was adequate, and some of it was awful. Dennis Quaid ... Read More

I had heard a lot of bad stuff about G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra and it was, for the most part, a bad rap. Sure, it wasn't set back in the 60's when G.I. Joe was founded, but World War 2 and Vietnam movies have been done to death. So, it was refreshing to see them take G.I. Joe in a completely different direction. The future. With new weapons, new technology and new faces.
Sure the script has been criticized as being non-existent and smothered by action sequences and special effects. Yet, G.I. Joe: ... Read More

This movie is close to one of the worst I have ever seen. The plot, special effects, and acting are all downright horrible. This should have been a release-to-DVD movie or ABC miniseries.
