Rise of the Cobra.
Gonna see a screener tomorrow, so I did my homework and reviewed part one. Here are my notes:
Channing = top of the list for actor-who-shoulda-got-his-butt-whupped-by-Cung. He had GI Joe's signature facial scar but looked far too wimpy for the role, at least based on the original doll. I would have preferred someone more grizzled like Max Martini
Acting: This is based on a cartoon based on a plastic doll. The acting is fine for that.
Lots of explosions. An orgy of explosions. I remember playing with GI Joes when I was a kid and blew them all up with firecrackers in the end. I think that's the proper way to stop playing with dolls.
Incomprehensible level of collateral damage - the toll on innocent bystanders would be astronomical, but that's never really addressed.
There are sword fights - ninja sword fights no less. No Bollywood. Can't remember if there was blood spitting - too many explosions made me forget.
Iron Man/Clone Wars vibe. Hot girls, ninjas and explosions. What's not to like?
Looking forward to 3D shuriken. If you are into cheeseiness like me, the cheese factor for a ninja throwing shuriken at you alongside hot girls from an explosion in 3D has entertainment value.
