Not horrifying, not really good either. Makes some strange narrative choices concerning the audience they're aiming for.
But instead of discussing any of that, I'll just say that Snake Eyes shouldn't have lips. They were distracting in every scene they were in.
An awsome, explosive, exciting and highly entertaining sci-fi action-thriller. It's an exhilerating, eye-popping, wickedly funny and tremendously fun rollar coaster ride from begining to end. A total blast. A first-rate adventure filled with stunning speacial effects, explosive a...( read more)
No one expected this to be a great film, but if any of you, like me, held out hope that it may at least succeed at just being silly popcorn fun, well... abandon all hope ye who enter here.
Where to start? The writing: HORRIBLE - The backstories and flashbacks are laug...( read more)
Thanks... for killing one of my favorite childhood likes. I remember when I was a kid, playing with the action figures, had a nice collection too.... had Duke, Gung Ho, and all the main ones.
Even I got the idea as a kid... American military Special Ops take on terrorists.

G.I. Joe: The rise of Cobra will please additional fans of the hasbro series but rarely it is cartoonish, over packed action with too much CGI with passable performances but it seems to bring me in with the content from the franchise, Yo Joe. A: Outstanding.
It is what it is....an action movie. Another example of me not understanding the bashing some action movies take. If you want a deep, thought provoking drama then don't go to an action movie based off a cartoon based off a toy! Effects were great, action was awesome, and the a...( read more)
Stephen Sommers' film captures the silly energy that made the series such a childhood favorite:a delightfully light, fun and action-packed kick in the ass!!!
Thanks to the movie I no longer regret throwing away my G.I Joe toys. Imagine the depreciation of value after this pile of nonsense. Outrageous.
Basically Team America: World Police played straight and minus the political edge. full review
I could load you up with more plot details, but this mercilessly incoherent, galactically stupid movie left me too numb to type. full review
G.I. Joe is a loud but proficient slab of explode-o-rama summer blockbuster nonsense, perfectly entertaining if you like that sort of thing, extremely skippable if you don't. full review
It is sure to be enjoyed by those whose movie appreciation is defined by the ability to discern that moving pictures and sound are being employed to depict violence. full review
Formerly a real American hero, G.I. Joe is no longer a hero (it's a team) or American (it's a multinational unit of military superstars, though the way they do business you'd rather have the Croatian ... full review
There is an inertia born of ceaseless, stupefying animation. full review
So over the top bad that this was actually enjoyable fun to watch.
If you go in to just enjoy the ride and remember this ISN'T based in reality then you'll be fine.
I think too many people pick this movie apart and forget what playing GI Joes was when you were a kid which was to use your imagination, your Joes could jump from the floor to the couch and there was nothing they couldn't do and in alot of ways that's what this movie is.

Why can't they just leave things alone. Everything isn't meant to be remade, revamped and brought to a movie theater.
