G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra by Stephen Sommers

Category: English

I enjoyed this film, growing up playing with the figures and watching the animation, the movie was a let down in places but not completely.

This film tracks down the origins of Cobra and establishes a lot of the characters and their motivations (albeit superficially). Even still, some of the characters manage to stay with you even after the film is over. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is definitely one of the characters to watch out for. Christopher Eccleston is pretty formidable as Destro.

Well it's still not the best cinema you're going to encounter and as such is pretty mindless in places including the famous chase sequence in Paris. Sienna Miller is put to good use as is Rachel Nichols.

Recommendation level: 1/5 - Christmas cheer! But very crappy in places, if you like G.I. Joe then it should be a 5/5.
