Top CriticJoe is the latest bloated float in Sommers's sad parade of cinematic shame...a glorified Cannon Films production with a nasty case of ADD."
Jun 2, 2010
G.I. Joe: Rise Of Cobra is a very throwaway experience, likely to be forgotten by the film world very quickly.
Apr 15, 2010
G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra is like a term paper that fulfills the word count requirement and drops in key phrases to demonstrate some familiarity with the material but is largely filler.
Jan 31, 2010
It's just as you would expect: poorly acted, conventionally written and occasionally fun.

... it's actually better (again, the wrong word; "not nearly as awful" is closer to correct) than the recent Transformers sequel, and significantly shorter to boot.
Dec 6, 2009
We're glad we didn't pay full price for our movie tickets.
Nov 14, 2009
Light entertainment with little to call memorable ... but at least therein exists some detectable evidence that the filmmakers had a soft spot for G.I. Joe and simply wanted to deliver its essence to the screen.
Nov 7, 2009
expensively produced escapist fantasy designed to protect the delicate sensibilities of the kids while never for a moment taxing their budding critical thinking skills
Oct 31, 2009
Un film bâclé qui n'obéit à aucune logique physique ou narrative
Oct 12, 2009
A typically frenetic actioner from Stephen Sommers...
Sep 25, 2009
This is an action film highlight reel, with any sense of story or purpose shoved to the corners.
Aug 23, 2009
Loud, shiny, and critic-proof, this franchise launcher is basically Transformers minus the humanity.
Aug 20, 2009
Top CriticThere are bound to be some 10-year-olds who will shout a hearty "Yo Joe!" (the G.I. Joe battle cry). The rest of us will more likely be crying, "Say it ain't so, Joe!"
Aug 18, 2009
Fans will be disappointed unless they're so desperate that they'll like anything that says it's a G.I. JOE movie.
Aug 16, 2009
The folks at Hasbro must be laughing all the way to the bank this summer.
