This is a fun popcorn action film with loads of action, great banter, and a ridiculous plot. Fifteen minutes into the film the G.I. Joes are enemies of the world and the president is an imposter. The Joes must rekindle old alliances and friendships to save the world from the evil-doers.The film incorporates advances in science, miniature drones, and nanotechnology to the extreme. Bruce Willis is added to the mix and James Carvel plays himself in a cameo. The most incredible scene is the mountain fighting which happens about midway. The film appears to be designed for an action game, one in which my character would die in the first 20 minutes. Worth a view on the big screen if all you crave is action.Parental Guide: No f-bombs, sex, or nudity. Plenty of killing

Just a remark: I was programming and had this film running in the background on TV when at the very end I suddenly noticed that "The Rock" took a pistol out of a box by grabbing it from its trigger.Come on!!!I do love (some) US action movies, but especially for stuff targeted towards kids (as in this case) I do expect the actors to feel at least a little bit responsible for what they do/show, meaning that they should at least take some firearms training before showing others how to deal with them.

Well, looking back at this movie, I guess it wasn't that much of a lackluster as I thought it was. I mean, maybe people just assumed that this movie would be exactly like the cartoon. But, not as much. I mean, there are some parts to the movie that is exactly more faithful to the G.I. Joe comic books than it is to the cartoons.But, if there's any missteps here, I'd say it's the representation of Lady Jaye's character in the movie. I mean, from what I've been seeing from the cartoons, Lady Jaye is supposed to be described as a stereotypical tomboy character. But in the movie, she's just a substitute for Scarlett and Cover Girl's characters since Scarlett is absent and Cover Girl is now dead in the first live-action movie.Overall, I'd say that this movie is very underrated. I've give it a "7 out of 10".

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.
