G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra

Is it just me, or is Channing Tatum like some robot actor created for action movies? Not saying this is a good thing either. It just seems that he's used because he fits the description of tall, handsome, and fit. I'm not completely knocking him because he doesn't completely lack talent, he is just an average actor, nothing more, nothing less. That aside, this movie is what it is - action. It cut right to the chase.

I think it was made to seem like the cartoon/toys came to life. Which feeling that way, it wasn't that bad when Dennis Quaid had a ridiculous voice the entire movie, or that the fight scenes were unrealistic and action packed. The movie was marketed as a thrill ride and that's what it was.

In addition they tossed in a little action. Some sexy names like Sienna Miller, and some comedy from Marlon Wayans, and some decent writing.

The real trouble with the movie was the lacking of Joseph Gordon-Levitt. For such a good, versatile actor, they really didn't allow him to do much, except for set up the next movie in which he will. Trouble is, this gigantic budget has set to produce results and there may not be a 2nd movie.

However, if there is, I'd expect it to be a lot better. This movie had the right intentions, and just didn't deliver. Seriously, half these movies have too much CGI and its just silly at times.

I rate this movie 6 of 10.
