G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra
Action, Sci-fi
2 stars
Mindless action film with fighting, explosions, and MORE fighting; designed for those action fans inflicted with ADHD. Jim made me go to this one… Channing Tatum and Marlon Wayans are two soldiers out to save the world against a man set on world domination (Christopher Eccleston) by using destructive metal-eating nano-bugs – the bug idea was blatantly stolen from The Day The Earth Stood Still. And what action film is complete without storm trooper-like soldiers being led by a hot chick in a cat suit? In this case the hot chick (Sienna Miller) resembles Tina Fey with Pamela Anderson’s, um, assets displayed with beaucoup décolletage. There’s even a second hot chick (Rachel Nichols), so of course an obligatory cat fight is inevitable (at least this chick has red hair). Oh, I almost forgot the creepy Japanese guy (Lee Byung-hun) with the ninja warrior kung-fu talents. This movie just has it all for die-hard action lovers, and it’s even left wide open for a sequel. Ya, Jim is SO going to take me to a chick flick now.
