Description
Directed by Stephen Sommers, best known for directing The Mummy and Van Helsing, G.I. Joe: The Rise of the Cobra promises to be an action-packed adventure that everybody can enjoy. Though written so newcomers to the franchise can easily understand the story, the film also has scenes for longtime fans of the extensive storyline, such as portraying the characters Snake-Eyes and Storm Shadow in training, as well as the induction of Duke and Ripcord into the G.I. Joe team.
The film recounts the story of the rise of the threatening Cobra Organization. As if this weren't enough for the elite team to deal with, they must also take on Destro, the corrupt arms dealer. The G.I. Joe team takes advantage of high-tech military and spy equipment and travels across the world, facing familiar foes such as the Cobra Commander and the Baroness Anastasia DeCobray in their attempt to save the world from spiraling into chaos.

Comments about PARAMOUNT HOME ENTERTAINMENT G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009):
Another of the movies from childhood cartoons.
It has great action sequences for all the boys-at-heart, a reasonable storyline that, as always, leaves it open for a sequel but is let down by the poor acting.
Most of the actors and actresses do well to put humour interspersed the movie, but fail when it comes to the serious parts of the film. Luckily the fighting, gadgets, technology and explosions hide most of the seemingly forced acting. As long as you don't expect to think too much and just enjoy the movie just as it is, then you won't be disappointed. One for a rainy day.
