AdventFalls G.I. D'oh

It's a bad sign when a half-hearted pun like the title of this review is wittier than an entire film. It's a worse sign when you put that film next to Michael Bay's ' Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen' and can't figure out which is worse.   Yes, Hollywood's new maxim ...

CrimsonAvenger Underhwelming

Like most people I was looking forward to this movie when it was announced that is until the cast was announced. I have fond memories of the now classic cartoon from the early 80's and I was hoping this would and wouldn't be similar to it. I'm a big G.I. ...

MrPilkington Worst film of 2009!

"The Rise of Cobra", which is titled after the "G.I. Joe" in the title, indicates that this is the first in a new series of films based on the Hasbro toy line that swept the nation many years ago. That title teases us with the concept that this film is ...

BagronkeN Destroying your childhood

This actually wasn't as bad as I imagined, but the trailer, reviews and how well other childhood memories are treated by the Hollywood scallywags prepared me for the worst. The story is ludicrous, but as expected in a G.I. Joe setting. The characters do lack all sort of respect of ...

MasterPr0phet Better Then Expected...and My Expectations Were Low!!!

  Teetering on the rim of not terrible but not great, "G. I. Joe" is a action romp that does decent justice to the famous 80's cartoon. You can't expect much from actors like Channing "Step Up" Tatum or Marlon Wayans, but you can always count on some sweet stunt ...

MarieBell90 Not the Best, but Not the Worst, Either.

I look at all of the forums and reviews about this movie, and all anybody ever has to say about it is negative.  I didn't watch the cartoon as a kid, so maybe that's why I don't mind it so much.    Personally, I don't think this movie is all that ...

holabendez Simple, snappy set piece action

I was in two minds coming into the film. On the one hand the trailers make the movie look cheesy, but on the other Stephen Sommers has never let me down. The good news is, Stephen Sommers has not disappointed. Taking what was quite frankly kind of dubious quality source ...

phoenix87x I loved it, even though everyone else hates it

I love this movie, Un-remorsefully and un-apolegetically. Having just been very underwhelmed by Retaliation, I decided to go back and see what went down in the first film. All I heard from everyone about Rise of Cobra was that it was the worst piece of shit every created and that ...
