3.0 out of 5 stars guilty pleasure popcorn movie.., November 26, 2009
This review is from: G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (DVD)
I am a fan of this director-Stephen Sommers...."Mummy", "Mummy Returns", "Van Helsing". He really knows how to direct an action pic.

Based upon, yes, the popular action figure for several generations. This film throws a lot of CGI effects (which are impressive) and good-looking actors on the screen. I enjoyed all the eye candy and the action scenes.

the story has something to do with good guys protecting an ultimate weapon from the bad guys; the usual chaos follows.

this movie is a nice way to warm up your cold winter days with heavy action.

recommended mood to be in when you are about to watch this movie: lethargic. You won't feel lethargic after watching it!

fun, energetic film..

4.0 out of 5 stars The Movie was an explosion of action and special effects! But......, November 5, 2009

This review is from: G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (Two-Disc Edition) (DVD)
Yesterday, I received my 2 disc edition of G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, and I looked over the sleeve and it looked nice and got me all excited, reminded me of the G.I. Joe days of when I was a kid watching the cartoon! Then, I later last night put the second disc in to check out the extras! HA that was a joke! The only extras on this 2 disc is the making of the movie, and the special effects behind the scenes thing. Now granted those were cool, but the only real reason for the second disc is for the digital copy! I honestly think this movie is not worth [...] at all, maybe 16.99! Big deal you get the digital copy! How many of us out there really use the digital copy? Where was the deleted and alternate scenes? Is it really coming to the point where things are going to Blu Ray and not to regular dvd which their are a heck of a lot more dvd player owners then blu ray! I say if you are looking at this review on deciding whether to purchase the 2 disc, wait till it goes cheaper and get it! Don't spend over 10 bucks for it! Thanks for your time I hope this helps!

1.0 out of 5 stars Great special effects but stupid plot, December 28, 2009
This review is from: G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (Two-Disc Edition) (DVD)
I liked the special effects of this movie but that was all it had going for it. I didn't like the characters, the plot was as stupid as stupid can be and I felt that a lot of good actors were wasted in minor or ridiculous parts. Christopher Eccleston, my favorite Doctor Who of the recent regenerations, was wasted in this movie. Dennis Quaid was a stereotype and Brendan Fraser was in and out of the movie on the blink of an eye. The major characters were silly and I didn't care for or even like the "Duke" character wearing his self-assured, cocky smirk throughout most of the movie, with the exception of the scenes where he attempted to make doe-eyes at his lost love. In fact, this whole movie was one long action sequence interlaced with soap opera mini stories in between to make a sad and half hearted attempt at character development. I kept yelling at the screen, "Oh, come on!" It was so predictable and obvious how the movie makers were trying to manipulate the viewer. Even the end was a blatant setup for a sequel, which I hope never comes to pass. Don't bother seeing this movie unless you are addicted to CG actions scenes. The rest is a waste of time and talent (which was not evident in any performance here.) If I could give it a 1/2 start I would!!
