Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Infamousta brilliant actors, brilliant editing

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Tilantha hansanath G I Joe: The Rise of Cobra is the movie was great in action and adventure in everything it was the movie of the summer I have been a fan of G.I.Joe

valadas Yes, lots of odd devices not fully explained. Here is one more film of this kind which is only worth for the visual effects and digital animation as a matter of fact in large profusion sometimes tiresome. The story is a mere pretext to the display of these effects and animation. This is a more than ordinary story in this kind of movies. The honourable guys and the evil ones (the former very good and the latter very bad) are typical. The story develops itself through a series of violent episodes some absurd and even unintelligible. A group of malefactors called the Cobra who are the owners of a high technology intends to lay hold on the world using nanomite warheads. The Joes are a special team of the good ones who fight the Cobra to prevent that they reach their aim. A detail of this is that the man who runs a company that sells those warheads to NATO gives them also to Cobra. Nothing more dull-witted.

funkyrobo Enjoyed the pace of the movie. For all GI Joe fans it is slightly disheartening as the characters were not well built. Graphics were good for 2009. Cast was strong but like mentioned earlier the characters were very weak. Portrayal of animosity and romance was fairly platonic. The villains were great escape artists and the hero's were good seekers. Almost the entire movie was a prolonged hide and seek game and GPS was almost always used to locate the enemy. Anyhow, now that watched GI Joe rise of cobra, I may as well watch GI Joe Retaliation.

Dominic LeRose Every male plays with a G.I. Joe action figure at some point in his childhood. They're an iconic toy that when put to the screen has no toy aspect or good quality. When 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... well let's just say explosion after explosion occurs with horrendous dialogue read belligerently by actors with as much talent as an inoperative typewriter. The premise of bringing the imaginations of children to the big screen involving cool costumes, destruction, endless action, and more destruction sounded like something I would totally dig. "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra" stalls out and lacks any source of inspiration in respecting the honorable toy that is the G.I. Joe doll. Instead, director Stephen Sommers guides his team to deliver sharp sound fused with some decent visuals, but a whole lot more of laughable words flying out of the action-stars mouths while trying to lighten the mood by adding laughless comedy. I wondered if Sommers ever took each actor aside and said, "That was decent, now act in a less sucky way." On and on we're succumbed to lame CGI and a bunch of wacky characters that lacks any originality or potential for a fun sequel. This is the exact type of film that would please dim-witted audiences who just want to see something blow up. Trust me, you'd rather make firecrackers than spend money on this squawky action adventure.
