GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra (movie)


Recommended Posts

I love how they are only releasing the movie to only a few critics. I know that most of the time that means the movie sucks and they don't want any bad reviews before opening day, but I don't think so in this case. They claim they are striving for a more grassroots type of marketing campaign.

Watched it yesterday and this movie is way below the average summer pop-corn movie. Average stuff everywhere (CGI, acting , plot ...). Go watch something else instead.

you know, hollywood needs to stop putting my cartoons names on stuff that is loosely hanging on a thread of the original show. It only goes to hurt the original product.

GI Joe never had crisis suits. Ya ya, future whatever. Call it joe 2021 or something. but I wont consider this anything GI Joe.

the trailers i've been seeing for it look horrible. I love GI Joe, and this movie doesn't even interest me.

You said it. I've seen several trailers/clips and my god is it terrible. Not only are the special effects completely over the top but they look "photoshopped" you can easily distinguish real from CGI and thats a bad sign. I'm not surprised to hear all the troubles they were having in editing. This movie is going to blow harder than Jenna Jameson.

So when I first heard about this being made I was soooo excited... But when I seen they were doing some super suit that was the basis for the entire movie..........well..... I will never see it now.

I understand its Hollywood, and a movie and you have to add some stuff, but come on.. a STUPID SUPER SUIT?!?!

I have a friend who is really, really excited about this movie.

All of my friends are excited about it and asked me to go watch with them lol

I don't see anything watchable from the trailer. It's gonna be a sucky-story-kind-of-movie-with-hot-chicks inside

Is it even possible :D :p

I've never saw original gi joe cartoons, so i really have no idea what this is about. Fromt he trailers it looks like fun and simple action flick, and thats what i expect. I'll see it today :)

"The two grew up together, were blood brothers and now are mortal enemies."

yeah cause that's sooooo original I am surprised someone came up with it. it will revolutionize the movie industry.

still going ot see this at least once, the action seems badass and i wouldn't miss it for the world.

It is terrible. I went to a screening of it last night at the theater my brother works at. What has been seen cannot be unseen.

The entire movie is non-stop action, which in theory doesn't sound so bad, but when it's the over-the-top-impossible action punctuated by stupid one-liners from bad actors, it grates on the nerves very quickly. I don't think there was a span of longer than 2 minutes without something getting shot, or exploding. The overall plot was ok, but the rest of the way the movie came together was total garbage. One of the things they did that really ticked me off was their use of the term "nanomites" instead of "nanites". Not a big deal I guess, but it still annoys me.

Also, Sienna Miller didn't take her top off. Which, admittedly would have made the movie 1000x better had it happened.

And Yes, Denis Quaid did say "knowing is half the battle"...

Haven't seen it, but knowing it's a movie on G.I Joe, i never had much expections for this flick. Typical popcorn, cheesy hollywood action flick

It's way below your average popcorn flick mate. Don't waste your time watching this.

I think he is holding the sword incorrectly for the 1st shot. I'm not talking about the stance, just the way he's holding the sword. It's not even consistent with how he is holding it in other shots of the movie (e.g. 2nd picture). Based on most conventions, and his 2nd post, his left hand should have been holding the end of the hilt while the right hand holding the top. He should have sticks with guns...

the whole super suit thing didn't tickle my fancy thats why i'm not that excited about it. btw could any tell me if Cobra commander is in it?

only 10secs at the end and the costume is just horrible. Don't waste your time with this lame movie mate.

    • This Dell 27 inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor is really cheap after a very long time by Sayan Sen Recently we covered a really good deal on an AMD RX 9070 three-fan model that's available at slightly above its MSRP. If you are looking for a GPU for 1440p gaming that's around the performance of the Nvidia RTX 5070 you should most definitely check it out. Let's say that you are looking for a monitor to pair that up with too. The Samsung 49" G9 curved QD-OLED superultrawide is a good option that can provide an immersive experience. However despite being a very good deal currently (at $855), it may seem unaffordable to you, or you may simply not want to spend as much on a monitor. In that case Dell's S2725QS can be a very good option as it's on sale at the moment for its lowest price in over six months (purchase link under the specs table down below). The big highlight of the Dell S2725QS is its 27-inch IPS panel with a 3840 x 2160 (4K UHD) resolution, offering a high pixel density that can make text appear sharper while also providing plenty of screen space for productivity and media consumption. The display supports a refresh rate of up to 120Hz through both HDMI and DisplayPort, making it suitable not only for everyday desktop use but also for smoother gaming and scrolling. AMD FreeSync Premium support is included as well, helping reduce screen tearing during gaming sessions. The screen has fairly good brightness and color accuracy so you can use it for general work purpose, though photo/video editing is probably not going to be the best match for this. The technical specs of the Dell S2725QS are given in the table below: Specification Value Viewable Screen Size 27 in (68.58 cm) Screen Mode 4K UHD Maximum Resolution 3840 × 2160 Maximum Preset Resolution 3840 × 2160 @ 120 Hz Standard Refresh Rate 120 Hz Panel Technology In-plane Switching (IPS) Backlight Technology LED Edgelight System Aspect Ratio 16:9 Pixel Pitch 0.1554 mm × 0.1554 mm Pixel Density 163 PPI Response Time 8 ms GTG, 5 ms GTG, 4 ms GTG Horizontal Viewing Angle 178° Vertical Viewing Angle 178° Brightness 350 cd/m² Native Contrast Ratio 1500:1 Color Support 1.07 Billion Colors Color Gamut 99% sRGB (CIE 1931) Adaptive Sync AMD FreeSync Premium HDCP Support Yes Mount Type Panel Mount VESA Mount 100 × 100 mm Maximum Height Adjustment 13 cm Tilt -5° to 21° Swivel -30° to 30° Pivot ±90° Stand Adjustments Tilt, Swivel, Height, Pivot Glass Hardness 3H Horizontal Frequency 27–270 kHz (DisplayPort 1.4 / HDMI 2.1) Vertical Frequency 48–120 Hz (DisplayPort 1.4 / HDMI 2.1) Video Inputs 2 × HDMI 2.1 (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3), 1 × DisplayPort 1.4 (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3) Operating Temperature 0°C to 40°C Storage Temperature -20°C to 60°C Operating Humidity 10%–80% (Non-condensing) Storage Humidity 5%–95% (Non-condensing) Get it at the link below: Dell S2725QS 27-inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor: $218.49 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $280) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.
