Gee, I Actually Paid To See This…

by coldsteel7 coldsteel7 is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Aug 10 '09
Pros: Great special effects, riveting action sequences, interesting gadgets.
Cons: Poor plot, weak characters.
When my son told me he wanted to see GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra, I attempted to influence his movie decision away from this film.  We looked at the other movies that were currently showing and decided on Ice Age Dawn of the ...

THE NEW "G.I. JOE": STARRING CGI-CHARACTERS WANTED

by mike.holmes mike.holmes is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Aug 09 '09
Pros: CGI
Cons: Nothing but CGI, non-existent character development
After seeing a movie which I loved on Friday ("Julie & Julia"), I decided to see the film that I knew would win the weekend "box office war":  "G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra".  What a constrast!  "Julie & Julia" is character-driven ...

GI Joe Movie Review -- A Look At The New G.I. Joe Film

by three_ster three_ster is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 10, Aug 09 '09
Pros: a few good cast members
Cons: incoherent action sequences, lacking in depth, frustratingly bad dialogue
Any G.I. Joe Movie review has to start with a reviewer admitting that they went to see the movie in the first place.  It's sort of like an admission to supporting films of lesser quality in the hope of enjoying two hours of mind-numbing ...

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra — Knowing It's Not Stellar is Half the Battle

by elvisdo elvisdo is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Aug 10 '09
Pros: Brought G.I. Joe to life; Snake Eyes vs. Storm Shadow
Cons: Bad dialogue and inconsistant special effects
I can honestly say that I have never been a diehard G. I. Joe fan and I'm glad I'm not because I would be out for blood after watching G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. Director Steven Sommers (of The Mummy trilogy franchise) actually ...

G.I. JOE: THE RISE OF COBRA - Team America: World Police, but without the comedy

by desslok desslok is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, , Aug 08 '09
Pros: The theater's popcorn was pretty tasty.
Cons: The movie is nothing but loud, bombastic nonsense.
You know the opening scene in Team America: World Police where in order to defend against Evil Terrorists, a gang of jingoistic gun crazy action movie cliches appear and blow the hell out of every single man, woman, child and landmark in Paris ...

Go Joe and Josephine!

by vemartin Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Aug 09 '09
Pros: Action, action, action; cool toys
Cons: Read review.
First let me state for the record that I, like many, many other red-blooded American boys, played with G.I. Joe action figures (not dolls) when I was a wee lad.  So I had more than a passing interest in going to see G.I. Joe: The Rise of ...

G.I. Joe: Is it as bad as they say?

by chelledun Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Aug 16 '09
Pros: Doesn't require a lot of heavy mental lifting.
Cons: Okay, it's sorta stupid.
G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra centers around the adventures of Duke (Channing Tatum) and his buddy Ripcord (Marlon Wayans), U.S. soldiers entrusted with a mission of critical importance - the delivery of non-weaponized nanomite warheads to a secure ...

GI Joe: The Rise Of Cobra - "YO, JOE!!! Wha' Happen'd?!"

by morilla Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Aug 09 '09
Pros: Gimme some time and I'll come up with something...
Cons: Not enough room in this space to go into it...
If I were to state that GI Joe: The Rise Of Cobra was a ripoff, I'd mean that in a number of meaningful ways.  If I were to accept that Hasbro's (the toy company which markets GI Joe) association with the film was strictly a ...

G.I. Joe Keep Rising

by hyperlin- , Aug 08 '09
Pros: Great performances by Sienna Miller and Leo Howard, Decent Plot, Caters to Boyhood Dreams
Cons: Casting of Channing Tatum as Duke, Rushed Ending, Disjointed Plot
SUMMARY:A decent plot and action scenes save the movie.  Casting was a mixed basket of great and not-so-great decisions.  This movie would have benefitted from a thicker plot, a bit less suspension of disbelief, better fight ...
