G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra - Settle in For Mindless Action

by dragonfire88 dragonfire88 is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Aug 14 '09
Pros: Somewhat entertaining
Cons: Plot not that strong.  There's a snake.  Shaky camera work at times.  Flat characters.
Sometimes I still decide to go see a movie even when most of what I have heard about it has been negative.  In those cases, I end up agreeing with the negative things at times and other times I actually end up enjoying the movie.  I decided to ...

An Utter Failure From Start to Finish in Every Aspect of Moviemaking - G.I. Joe

by Goatius Goatius is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, , Aug 17 '09
Pros: Er, lots of good looking people
Cons: Every other thing you can imagine
Stupid action movies have their purpose, I understand that.  Every so often people need to just watch crap blowing up and dudes running around and hot chicks kick each other's butts.  It's a way to unwind at the movies with unrealistic looking ...

Rise of the Toy Inspired Films

by Alena Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Aug 13 '09
Pros: effects, decent plot and acting
Cons: campy script
G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra is the second toy/cartoon turned film hitting the big screen for the summer movie blockbuster season. And fortunately for those who grew up with the toys the movie is very good. G.I. Joe is a great summer action ...

If you're a fan, go in with low expectations

by videodude , Oct 05 '09
Pros: The live action version, characters and appearances
Cons: Overblown CG, cardboard-thin character development, bad camp factor, sucky dialogue
I grew up with G.I. Joe.  I had the action figures, the lunch box, the video games and watched the TV show endlessly after school.  I loved the animated movie, played with the toys, read the comics and practically lived at my local Child World ...

GI Joe - Dumb, Loud, Pointless........BUT FUN!

by silentrascal , Aug 21 '09
Pros: Lots of great action. Terrific visual effects. Plenty of humor. Overall an extremely entertaining flick.
Cons: HORRIBLE acting and dialogue. Lame plotline. Stepped WAY over the limits of reality at times.
Ok, right off the bat we can get a few obvious points out of the way when discussing a GI Joe movie: (1) It will NOT, by any means, be an Oscar-nominated film for: acting, direction, screenplay, or....well, let's face it.....anything. (2) ...

by xenoranger , Nov 10 '09
Pros: Action
Perspective
Appeals to non-fan
Cons: Some character's development
Uninteresting special features
Since 1964, GI Joe has made itself known to the American public. In 1982, the franchise launched a cartoon series that promoted the "Real American Hero". 2009 marked the release of the first, live-action film. I was quite surprised with the finished ...

B.I. Joe: Why Cobra Won't Rise

by arguablysamson , Aug 13 '09
Pros: None really.
Cons: Clangy, noisy, almost non-existent plot. Poorly written.
If a contest was being held for the clangiest, noisiest, and most annoying science fiction movie with a major release budget, this one would undoubtedly be a contender. Any broken-in moviegoer knows that “big budget” doesn’t necessarily ...
