Saw G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra the other day. Good movie, but not great. I didn't expect much, but got more then I expected.
In all, I'd give it about a 3 1/2 out of 5.
(warning Spoilers in White Text below here: If you don't want to know, don't read it.)
So, What did I like about the movie;
1) They came up with a good storyline that was (somewhat) believable.
2) Great action in the movie, but plenty of storyline as well.
3) Had a lot of comedy in there as well.
What I didn't like about it;
1) The storyline tied in too perfectly (most of the hero's had a "past" with the villains)
2) Cobra wasn't introduced until the very end (even though he'd been shown through the whole movie) and he came off extremely week.
3) Though they did do a lot of backstory, it was a little too much too soon. If they had waited on the white ninja and introduced him in the second movie, then that would have made for a better story line and not have made this one feel so rushed (for me at lest).
4) It tied too much at the end of the movie, three of the villains were in jail, one dead, and one gets away free without anyone knowing he was even gone (but you got one final glimpse at him.)
5) Some of the actors where out of their rang of acting. (and others where just doing horrible acting.)
All in all, not a bad action flick, but I left it wanting more from it.
And from the movie news front, they will be making a GI Joe 2, now in script writing. Maybe they can come out with a great movie now that the characters have already been introduced, but not holding my breath. Still, it's is worth watching (maybe renting).
Also in movie news, Microsoft says not too get too excited about a Halo movie yet. They say that right now their focusing on the Halo games first, then the movie project. Until then, the movies still on hold.
