Hey guys,
As you know, Rise of Cobra was released yesterday here in the US. I just
got in from seeing it today. All I have to say is WOW. The movie was very well
done. For the most part, it stayed true to the comic book series. It did have
it's campy moments, but they were few and far between while remaining enjoyable
at the same time. There were some twists on a few action movie cliches. One
bright spot, you didn't have to wait for the action. G.I. Joe shows up pretty
early in the movie and brings tonnes of action with them. While I didn't and
still don't like the international Special Forces thing, I have to say that it
really works. Best of all, for fans of G.I.Joe there were plenty of easter eggs
throughout the movie. They really don't contribute to the plot, but your heart
skips a beat everytime you see one. It's really kid friendly without being
overtly so. There's almost no profanity, although the characters do say sugar
honey iced tea a few times but that's about it. ALL of the characters were
executed very well. There weren't any that felt like an after thought or filler
characters. All in all it was a really good movie. Definitely see it if you
can. I've been waiting for a GIJoe live action movie since I was 12. (I'm 31
now) Out of what I'd really want to see in a live action GIJoe flick I'd say
that I got about 85% of what I really wanted. Please if you've seen the movie
don't talk about it in this thread. I just wanted to endorse the movie for all
of those who had doubts about it. I hope this helps.
