Director Stephen Sommers (The Mummy, Van Helsing) adapts the beloved Hasbro G.I. Joe toy line with this Paramount Pictures production that pits the Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity against the evil forces of the organization known as Cobra. [Jeremy Wheeler, All Movie Guide]
Review:
No movie this summer has been made fun of pre-release like Stephen Sommers‘ take on G. I. Joe. The marketing was horrible. The scenes we saw early were unimpressive. And the characters looked stupid, uninspired and goofy. Meanwhile, the Transformers 2 marketing seemed to showcase a better take on cartoons and toys from the 80s, and we all know how Transformers 2 failed on all levels as a film (yet raked in tons of brainless cash). So, is G. I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra better than this summers earlier disappointments? Yes!
Well, over the years Stephen Sommers ‘ grasp of CGI still hasn’t improved. Check out 45 seconds of crappiness from G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra. Really. This looks bad. The Master Chief Halo suites are ridiculous.
Here’s confirmation that Cobra Commander looks like a doofus in Stephen Sommers potential crap-fest G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra. Really, though, I don’t know why I keep complaining. Stephen Sommers has directed total crap before. Have you seen The Jungle Book, Deep Rising, The Mummy, The Mummy Returns, and Van Helsing? ALL CRAP.
I do notice that the marketing is relying heavily on Sienna Miller’s breasts (see trailer) and ass (see poster) to get pre-pubescent boys into the theaters. We’ll see how it all pans out on August 7th.
