[[Movie Review.]]

Yes, it's once again time for another review. So here it goes..

G.I. JOE : The rise of Cobra
Let me first say that I expected alot from this movie, maybe because of the hype created from the adverts, but I was gravely disappointed when the first fight took place 10 mins into the film. All I could do was just sit there and go "oh no, its another mindless action movie with a bad plot and unreal physics". Although I'm not one to usually criticise a movie so badly, I had to make an exception this time, cos I know that alot of you will watch this show and this is just to prepare you for the impending disappointment. Firstly, the scenes in the show, especially the action ones, did not coordinate well with each other ( cos of physics errors, of which there were a ton ). An example would be the black Hummer that the baddies drove. In the movie, it could hit cars, flip them over, smash buses, and not get even a single dent. However, when it cam to crossing the light rail, or tram, a small hit suddenly turned it into a friggin fireball. And flew like 50 feet up. Big error there cos I could see very clearly the explosive charged detonated to make it flip. Second science error. There's a scene where the black dude chases an intercontinental missile, all fine by me, but he's doing aerial acrobatics while going at 6G. 6G! If you can turn on a dime at that speed please join the air force straightaway, they really could use a guy like you. If you don't kill yourself or destroy their planes first. The entire show was just full of these problems. Like how detonating ice can make it sink and stuff like that.
But suffice to say all wasn't lost. There was a fair share of eye-candy from Sienna Miller and Rachel Nichols. Maybe that was the best part of the show... haha. CG wasn't bad, but it was inconsistent, most parts seemed sort of real, then fantasy takes over and suddenly stuff pops out that look as fake as pamela anderson's boobs. Seriously. The characters had bad lines, where most of their punchlines went unheeded by the audience, and made them lame. Small scenes injected into the film seemed to try and make them 3D, but it wasn't enough for me to understand them well enough. And some characters were just plain 2D, with minimal or no background at all.
So with such a thorough review like that, I hope that this will be informative enough for you guys before you go watch the movie. Now I'm not stopping you, but if you want to watch it, please do. It's all for the action movie junkie that likes explosions, hot women and stupid villains ( sounds like a typical redneck to me). But please be warned that the advertisements did make too much of a hype and you might walk out after the movie is over and realise " This movie isn't fantastic, but its sad that it's going to make millions and have a sequel" and then proceed to shoot yourself in the foot ( don't take it literally ).

My rating : 4.5/10
