Ben N This movie is dumb. It is fun and dumb for the first third, in a classic summer blockbuster way. I liked it until a turn in the middle during which the bad guys become cartoonish, the weapons go over the top in a way that makes combat impossible to grasp, and the plot goes hyper-active. The third act tries to pull things back together, but by then I'd lost all buy-in and was tired of these characters. Friends tell me I should see the second GI Joe pic, if fo no other reason that Roadbloack (The Rock) --- so maybe... but I can't imagine it's much worse than this was in the end. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/09/25 Full Review Mitch B A fun adventure that is over the top and doesn't take itself too seriously. I loved seeing Duke, Snake Eyes and Scarlett and Hawk in live action. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/06/25 Full Review Zach W. Though it has an excess of underdeveloped plot points and plenty of poor CGI and visual effects, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra is an ambitious whirlwind of boisterous action and adventure. Directed by Stephen Sommers, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra is a bombastic, explosive action film with a ridiculous blend of technology and flashiness. However, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra is also a cluttered, overindulgent story that does not refine itself for the betterment of the audience’s understanding. Channing Tatum has proven that he can lead an action film, but his performance in G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra feels hindered by his character’s lack of development. G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra does succeed in building depth with other supporting characters as I found all of the flashbacks with Snake Eyes to be cool. Dennis Quaid is underutilized, Marlon Wayans is miscast, and the villains are not clear with their motivations. Regardless, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra is memorable for its ridiculous action sequences and ambitious storyline. Overall, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra is a blockbuster franchise film that likely will never be replicated. There can be an appreciation for the absurdity of what Sommers tries to accomplish, but the adaptation does feel slightly off in comparison to previous G.I. Joe projects.
