Either we’re living in Bizarro Summer, or Stephen Sommers’ G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra is kicking Michael Bay’s Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen in the ass this summer.
Granted, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen made an ungodly amount of money, expecially for being the ball of shit that it was. However, early reviews for Stephen Sommers’ G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra are surprisingly good. So far after an handful reviews it is tracking 88% on Rottentomatoes.
I’ve been making fun of it until now. I think I’m going to actually plan an opening weekend screening!
Here are some bits of reviews from RottenTomatoes.
If I was 10 years old, GI Joe would be one of the best movies I had ever seen. As a grown up it’s one of the better summer movies; a delightfully light, fun and action-packed kick in the ass.
