We’ve been assaulted with media for the Stephen Sommers directed, comic and toy adapted actioner G.I. JOE: THE RISE OF COBRA for quite a while now and the general fanboy consensus seemed to be that the film looks like a steaming pile of manure, due in large part to the unbelievably cheesy dialogue and ridiculously over-the-top action – things that only appeal to those of us with a soft spot for brainless action spectacle of the Michael Bay variety.
A screening was recently held, however, that left a lot of people feeling surprisingly positive about the film. Some downright enjoyed the hell out of it while some said it’s not nearly as bad as they were expecting while some offered that despite its mindless action and cheesy dialogue, it’s at least better than TRANSFORMERS 2. Go to AICN, Latino Review or Collider to read exactly what these people had to say.
It seems like this movie boils down to one word: Fun. And isn’t that what Summer’s all about? Decide for yourself on August 7th.
