Fun movie - not even close to realistic, but fun.

Let me first say that I knew absolutely nothing about the GI Joe franchise except that they were (are?) toys. But that did not hinder me from enjoying this movie. What do you get if you mix a few parts James... Full review
Delivers exactly what it promises and that's the point.

Please, take note that I rated this film 8 only because of it's value as an action film, but that's exactly the point I came here to get across. Everybody seems to have the same argument when they trash this film..... Full review

If you thought Transformers ROTF was bad, you ain't seen nothing! The new G.I. Joke is one of the worst films I've ever seen in my life! First of all, the characters are totally miscasted, and the acting is horrible! Baroness... Full review

This isn't a movie one expects much depth or detail from, so you won't get much from this review, either. What I will say about G.I. Joe, is that it knows what it is, who it's going to entertain, and why... Full review
At 7 years old I was at the perfect age to enjoy the 80's version of GI Joe when the toys and comics came in 1982, with the cartoon not far behind as the most popular storyteller (it was on TV... Full review

If you just want to sit down and enjoy taking a break from thinking for 2 hours this is the movie for you. Great action and special effects/CGI. I loved this movie even with the strange storyline and brutal acting. Marlon... Full review

I saw G.I.Joe with no real high expectations. For the most part I thought that it was a good film that was entertaining. Basically it is about a secret government army organization called G.I.JOe who takes in the best military people... Full review
Strangely decent in its own way. ....

The Rise of Cobra is action-packed chaos....A lot more purchase could have been had from some sensible plot and character development.....The CGI is also excessive.... ... Full Review

It'd be nice to believe there's a spark of genuine inspiration at a movie's inception, but one has to wonder....There's no rule that says movies inspired by toys or TV shows can't be good.....A bunch of mysterious figures clearly designed to make cool action figures ambushes the convoy....Unfortunately there won't be G.I. Joe Amber Lager, G.I. Joe Tapenade and G.I. Joe Antacids..... ... Full Review
