VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Eric Stevenson I saw the original live-action "G.I. Joe" and honestly? I barely remember a thing about it. I remember that I thought it was just okay and easy to forget. If you want to see the best movie that represents "G. I. Joe", watch the 1987 animated movie. The plot of this movie is that a member of Cobra has infiltrated the White House disguised as the President. He frames G. I. Joe for the assassination of the leader of Pakistan.The movie stars Dwayne Johnson, who is honestly a good actor. Bruce Willis also appears, but he doesn't have that much of a role. The movie gives us plenty of explosions and clichés about betrayal and stuff. It's mostly pointless. I'll at least give it credit for being better than most of the Transformers sequels. There's just so much better stuff out there. **
BatStarIndyFreak I don't know if it was on purpose, but here they took an 80's property, gave it the same flavor as "Commando" with all its extreme scenarios, and gave it 10's level practical effects. This is one movie I obligated myself to watch it. Why? It had my favorite Joe in Roadblock, who was given the best possible casting (seeing how Michael Clarke Duncan's passing made him unavailable). It's generally accepted that Dwayne Johnson makes good with his time on camera in every role, and I loved every minute of it here. No argument that the plot is paper-thin...OK--RICE paper, but you take on that 80's mentality, it becomes a worthwhile guilty pleasure. Cobra Commander's few scenes showed him being more convincing than what we saw in the 80's cartoons. It was something interesting to see Jonathan Pryce as a good guy, though he's cast to primarily use his bad guy acting skills. Too bad we didn't get much of Arnold Vosloo. I enjoyed Flint (though in the cartoon, he was much higher in command) and Lady Jay. So overall, a good bit of "check your brains at the box office fun".
patriceangela Well the movie opened up very interestingly, with the characters rescuing a north Korean deserter. The movie carried out very well i should admit, but unfortunately it didn't bold well as a sequel to the original movie, "G. I Joe: rise of cobra". The movie lacks several characters from the original movie, Instead chose to use the movie to introduce new characters rather than focusing on the older ones which the director has chosen to kill off one by one. The movie also tends to deal with the sudden death of duke from the previous movie and how his death brings about the new upbringing of the new G. I. Joe team. Overall, in my honest unbiased opinion, this movie would rather serve better as a stand alone movie instead of a sequel to the rise of cobra.
loganriese When I received the call to work on this movie I was ecstatic Says Logan one of his favorite characters was always firefly. Gi Joe is an intense ride into the world of Cobra Commander. Every minute you are on the edge of your seat. Logan sewed the super hero costume for Ray Stevenson In the Retaliation movie. Logan Riese was not credited but had a major roll in making the costume for Ray Stevenson AKA Firefly. Bruce Willis Wore Logan Riese shirts. Assistant on the cobra commander Jacket. The costumes were all memorable as was the movie. I would recommend this to any comic book fan as well as adventure seekers. you will not be let down by the fast pace of part two in an amazing series.
