GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra

Hasbro brings their Real American Heroes to the big screen in GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra. I remember back when I was a child; I had the entire lineup on my dresser and put little parachutes on them and threw them out of my bedroom window. If I had this movie on DVD I would do the same thing except without the parachute.

In this story we have a group of special operatives, known as Joes, who, of course, try and take down the villians who are planning to destroy the planet by using a super sophisticated futuristic weapon involving nanotechnology. This weapon is a liquid looking substance that needs to be activated and consist of teeny tiny little nanorobots. These little buggers devour and destroy everything in their path until nothing exists. Believe it or not they are being launched towards a few major cities across the world, one of which is Washington DC so Cobra can take over the planet...could they be anymore original. The Joes get to use their nifty toys and fly jets that move faster than mach 1000 or whatever they say and save the day like the heroes they are.

Bottom line, this movie was stupid. The plot was lame, the acting was worse, and one of the main stars was Marlon Wayans (need I say more?). There was a lot of grandier, explosions, and special effects but at the end of the day this movie was really bad. I could not in good faith recommend this movie unless you are really just looking for some cheesy entertainment and a way to pass the time. Even though it was a crappy movie there was some entertainment value so with that said I would give it a D+.
