Product Description
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.

Entertaining
 
Review Date: November 7, 2009
Reviewer: Superheroes fan,
I had low expectations of the film after hearing some of the many disappointments. But to my surprise, I found it very entertaining. It was a fun and had great martial arts sequences, good action scenes and a nice sense of humor to it. The story line for an action flick kept me attentive as well. The plot moved along well and didn't feel like there were any slow moments. I wasn't comparing it too hard to the original cartoon because it's a different time now and artists can have some creative liberty. It was still fun to see some of the old familiar characters. Great job with Snake Eyes. Overall, good entertainment.

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" movie watcher might hope for. By the way, the Editing was AWESOME!!! the cuts were supersmooth and definitely helped maintain the frenetic pulse of the movie!!! most of the time, folks don't take editing into consideration, but when you see how seamlessly the action scenes flow, one to the other, one can absolutely appreciate the editing!!
Personally, i'd have been happy to have paid rental price some of the video stores charge ($3.00-5.00)for this flick. The female leads (Sienna Miller and Rachel Nichols) are stunning and the guys do a bang-up job.
Overall, if action and mayhem are what the doctor ordered, with a simple but thorough plot, this flick is for you. Does anyone know if a sequel is planned?
You won't go wrong renting this one.
It's a kids movie, why so serious about it?

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 about really, but hardly one star fodder. I guess if you're a prepubescent teen or older, you'd be better of saving your pennies for other stuff unless you're an action fan nut, but a boy under 10 will probably love it.

My son keeps nagging me about when the follow up is coming out. He doesn't ask that very often.
Loved it!

There are a few differences from the cartoon that some die hard fans will notice, but even so the movie was excellent I really enjoyed it.
