Movie Review – G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009) – 3 Stars
Much like ‘Transformers II’, ‘G.I. Joe’ is a movie that is much more entertaining than critics would lead you to believe. Sure it makes little to no sense to a rational viewer, with sinking icebergs, spontaneous underwater fires, and nanobots that previously only destroyed cancer cells but have been specifically engineered to destroy everything instead. But that’s not the point – there are also ninja fight scenes, experimental fighter planes, and some nice eye-candy for both the boys (with Rachel Nichols and Sienna Millar) and Channing Tatum for the girls. As far as popcorn entertainment goes, this is a solid player.
