GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra

Summer blockbusters have been plentiful in the past few years, especially if they are movies that are trying to do remakes or reinvent a franchise. Movies like Star Trek, Transformers, Superman Returns, and Batman Begins have all been huge box office successes and have all drawn great reviews, but when it comes to reinventing a franchise, none do it like GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra.

This year has already been full up with hard hitting Sci-Fi summer blockbusters, with Star Trek and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, and while they were great movies, they both pale in comparison next to GI Joe. Joe has it all, its got a great cast(with the exception of Joseph Gordon-Levitt, but i'll get to that later) it has action that will blow you out of your seat, and its got a great story that you can pick right up and be immersed in for the next 2 hours.

I had heard early reports that the movie might not live up to the hype, as some people online seemed to have formed an opinion of the movie just by watching the trailer. The movie is all action from the get go and is visually stunning. There wasn't one point during the movie where i could see a single bad CGI effect. While the movie had a great cast, especially the beautiful Sienna Miller, i could not get over just how stupid the decision was to cast Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Cobra Commander. i'm sorry but i have to use a WTF here. Other than that, the movie was excellent. I recommend it to anybody. Great Movie!!!
