Product Description
Paramount G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (Blu-ray)From the Egyptian desert to deep below the polar ice caps, the elite G.I. JOE team uses the latest in next-generation spy and military equipment to fight the corrupt arms dealer Destro and the growing threat of the mysterious Cobra organization to prevent them from plunging the world into chaos.

The Rise of Cobra is not your grandfather's G.I. Joe. It's more like C.G.I. Joe with explosive special-effects action sequences that provide the film with a surplus of "Boom Boom Pow" (to quote the Black Eyed Peas song that drives the end credits). This blast from the summer past is very much like the metal-munching nano-mite missiles a (literally) mad Doctor (Joseph Gordon-Levitt cashing in some of his indie cred) and McCullen, a Scottish weapons dealer (Christopher Eccleston), threaten to unleash upon the world. It never stops. Ever. The original G.I. Joe action figure was an all-American hero. These Joes are--all together now--"the best of the best," an elite multi-national squad. Two soldiers, Duke (a buff Channing Tatum), an "on the ground, in the fight" kind of guy, and Ripcord (Marlon Wayans), his wisecracking best friend, are rescued by the Joes after they are ambushed while transporting the missiles. These are no ordinary Joes. Snake-Eyes (Ray Park) is a silent ninja, Stella (Rachel Nichols) a bodacious brainiac, Heavy Duty (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) the imposing weapons specialist, and Breaker (Said Taghamaoui) the techie. They are led by gruff Gen. Hawk (Dennis Quaid), who barks out lines like, "When all else fails, we don't," with polish. Duke and Ripcord are recruited to join the classified unit after Duke discovers that Ana (Sienna Miller), his former fiancée, is in cahoots with McCullen and now sports the sinister moniker the Baroness, not to mention killer cleavage-enhancing latex outfits. This being the first in a budding franchise, there is much backstory to cover. Flashbacks date back to 1641! But the order of the day is underground military command centers, underwater evil lairs, gleaming high-tech weaponry, breakneck chases, and cool gadgets, such as a speed-accelerating hydraulic suit. It's enough to make you want to dust off your original Hasbro action figures or, the studio no doubt hopes, buy the new ones. --Donald Liebenson

 movie is great but digital copy does not work... March 16, 2010
J. Lim (Los Angeles, CA USA)
The Blu-ray is great. play's fine. But the Digital Copy disc does not work at all... there is a programing glitch where it just defaults to send the user to update there version of Win Media... which is not the problem.. I've done every update and still nothing. if i could do it all over again i wish they would just make the blu-ray disc available by itself with out this digital copy crap that usually never works...
garbage...
 Hey, not bad at all! March 11, 2010
Kevin Nazario Bartolomei (Ponce, Puerto Rico)
Ok, is not rocket science, not something for the Oscars, but is not that bad either. Visually the movies is fine, good sfx, good designs and over all atmosphere, the costumes looked good except for Cobra Commander's mask that truly looks stupid and the joe's armor suits that looks to bulky and complicated, something more in the Iron Man line would have been better. The acting is , well, good enough for the material. The only bad part was the whole Paris chase secuence, is far too long and the good guys end up doing more damage than the bad ones. That said is pretty much what i expected but better. As far as comic, toy and superhero movies go this one is a winner, and compared to Transformers:Revenge of the Fallen, this one is a work of art.
 Great Movie March 10, 2010

I usually don't like war type movies. But this show was more than a war movie. It had a great story line and cast. My son played with GIJoes. So I kinda knew the chars. I hope they make another one. 2 thumbs up GIJOE XD

(NO SPOILERS HERE) First off, I grew up watching G.I. Joe every afternoon when I got home from school, and was thrilled to hear Paramount had finally decided to make a live action film. I headed to the theater basically expecting tons of action and ZERO story, but to my surprise...it had actually had both! Explosions, ninja fights, crazy weapons, and a slew of one liners pulled directly from the cartoon will have you smiling ear to ear. Add in some cool flashbacks, an interesting plot twist, and a sultry Sienna Miller....what more can you ask for?!?!
Oh, and the Blu-Ray looks amazing as usual.
Great Movie!! March 3, 2010

I really loved this movie when I saw it at the theater. I am surprised the rating is as low as it is.
