G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1046173/

I've seen a lot worse movies.

The one downside to this movie is it had some pretty awful CG Scenes at times. The acting was also quite horrible.

As an action packed movie it tried its best. So I give it a C+

But damn some of that CG was bad.

Here is a screenshot I found online to demonstrate just how bad it looked at times.

Also found a thread on the IMDB on the topic

The one thing I will give this movie credit for is the first action sequence in the first 10 mins of the movie. That was pretty awesome.

I enjoyed it :)

an action fest for nearly 2 hours

I loved this movie. It was a hell of a lot better than a C+. I'm thinking maybe this wasn't your genre ;P

It's not a great movie, but it was pretty good fun - what Transformers 2 should have been.

Also, as far as I can tell the cheesy, cartoonish CGI was deliberate, and it if wasn't, then it sure as hell worked in favour of the movie. I wouldn't want realistic CGI like what we had in TF2. Sometimes cartoonish CGI does have its charm, especially in context of a movie based off a toyline.

I hear ya dude! Movie sucked, especially acting....

Although I like Dennis Quaid, who ever put Marlon Wayans in the movie should get fired.

Never the less, movie made some cash, it was pretty popular around younger population.... Actually believe it or not it got 37% on RottenTomatoes, I would have given it 10-15%

Cheers

It wasn't a great movie but I did enjoy it. I didn't expect much out of something called G.I. Joe anyway.

Being Scottish I was highly offended by this movie! The Scottish accent was appalling as well as the choice of words!

[Razorwing]

The girls were very hot. That's all I care about. lol.

[DeathSniper]

The movie was ok, loved the last 10 minutes though. I'll go pick it up today and give it a watch again.

There were girls in there? I never noticed. :whistle:

I cannot wait to see this film, I personally think the American version of Action Man GI: Joe sounds a lot better than the British version Action Man, it just does not have the ring to it as GI: Joe does it, the special FX in this film are awesome one film I want to see.

As in rent or buy?

I was really letdown by this. I didn't think the CGI was that bad in the trailers, but in the final movie, it was atrocious, to put it lightly. I've never seen a movie with such a large budget have such horrid CGI.

If that wasn't bad enough, the story was dumb and the acting was cringe-inducing. I get it's a movie from a toy line, but come on... Transformers was fine. It was somewhat serious, somewhat slapstick at times. But this was like it just tried to be B-movie material the entire time. I really expected more from the director of The Mummy movies -- at least those were a good time.

2/5

[Arpit]

i grew up with GI joes and this movie ruined it for me. i agree with warwagon on all points but i give it a D?

[ichi]

I like the crap-yet-still-entertaining movies as much as the next guy, but still I didn't find this movie to be fun at all :huh:

3/10

[buckboii]

amazing. graphics was amazing too.

[Andrew Lyle Global Moderator]

I wish they stuck to the original TV with the plot of this movie. Some of the stuff was too much for me, as it just seemed like a regular hollywood movie. It could have been better, and for that I can only give this movie...

7/10

A good kids movie, which is more than I can say for Transformers2. It was canon enough that it didn't make me mad, except for this possible B.Fraiser as Sgt.Slaughter business. The overblown CGI was generally well intentioned and fun, even if the blaster pistol got old quick. Maybe I'm prude but it could have easily just gone the PG route and lost the deaths. Hell, even the Wayans put in a palatable Ripcord and the (brunette) Baroness is always welcome on screen (sorry Megan, you're just a prop). Duke and Cobra notably my least favorite characters, though I do like it that the scientist finally snaps and turns the table on the military industrial complex.

Misc Errata:

-Snake Eyes has a plastic mouth, seriously WTF

-Like a retarded cobra, CC waits until his base is destroyed, his missiles shot down, and then decides to reveal himself to the world just as they put the cuffs on. Some supervillan. At least the recent animated movie had a decent ending. Plus, Cobra Commander is ****ing vain, why is he going to put on a helmet that accentuates his hideousness?

-The Baroness backstory was painful and bad on so many levels. So you are ****ing this guy to weaponize...a weapon?

+Mindbender was all win

+Totally unnecessary weapons and vehicles, sell those toys! They even worked in the underwater supercanon, how cheese was that!

+Quaid isn't onscreen long enough to annoy me and predictably went down like a bitch

[McCordRm]

Scarlett was a D all by herself. Two of them, in fact.

Didnt expect much, but actually enjoyed it... it was fun!

I actually REALLY enjoyed it (for what it was - a big dumb action film).

[John Freeman]

Eh, this. I for one thought it was catastrophically bad. It had no redeeming qualities other then Sienna Miller and felt like leg humping scene from TF2 expanded in to a full feature film. Eye-rolling bad and perfectly fitting in Marlon Wayans's recent career.

yeah exactly how I felt
