GI Joe: Rise of Cobra - slight spoilers -


As the title suggests the film deals a lot with the Rise of Cobra. GI Joe is well established when the film opens, seeing them coming to the rescue of a NATO Convoy.

It seems pretty clear when we first see the Joe's base that it's been around for sometime and like was created to battle terrorists and have had a couple run ins with the Group that becomes Cobra.

We also learn of a history between Duke, Baroness and the man known as The Doctor. I know most purists will likely not like the film because of what it does with what's told through the Comics and Cartoon series. I myself had no issues with what was done.

All the favorites are there; Duke, Snake Eyes, Scarlett, Heavy Duty, Ripcord and Hawk for GI Joe
Destro, Baroness, Storm Shadow, and Zartan for MARS aka Cobra.

I did have a slight issue with the ending, it kind of went against what we have always seen from Cobra but the ground work is laid out for a 2nd film.
9 out of 10

As I'm not really a Comics and Cartoon series fanatic, then a 9 out of 10 from you means that this is a must see action flick! emoticon

Much like it was with Transformers, a lot of Critics don't like it but fans do

I never put much faith in critics. Matter of fact it seems to me, the more the Critics dislike a movie, the more I will like it! emoticon

Does Cobra have those black tanks with the dual guns atop it? I forget what you call them, but those tanks were sweet/ and the drivers with the red helmet and uniform/
