In the 60's a toy franchise was launched that would become wildly popular in the 80's(yet always placing second behind Transformers) and then fell into obscurity....until now. G.I. Joe The Rise of Cobra has arrived but is it any good?
The answer is yes and no. G.I. Joe has a few things going for it: Awesome action that gets the adrenaline pumping and the heart racing, some downright funny moments and some solid acting. But for everything it achieves, there's something weighing it down. There's too many flashbacks, and some of the acting is wooden or just plain bad (I'm talkin to YOU, Dennis Quaid).
When all is said and done, G.I. Joe The Rise of Cobra is an entertaining way to spend a Friday night/Saturday afternoon, but nothing more and nothing less. If they hope to have the same success that Transformers has had, then they need to step it up a notch but it is a solid first effort.
3/5
