Average Rating:5.3/10

Consensus: While fans of the Hasbro toy franchise may revel in a bit of nostalgia, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra is largely a cartoonish, over-the-top action fest propelled by silly writing, inconsistent visual effects, and merely passable performances.

Rated: PG-13 [See Full Rating] for strong sequences of action violence and mayhem throughout.

Runtime: 1 hr 58 mins

Genre: Action/Adventure

Theatrical Release:Aug 7, 2009 Wide

Box Office: $150,167,630

Synopsis: Paramount Pictures and Hasbro, whose previous collaboration was the worldwide blockbuster “TRANSFORMERS,” join forces with Spyglass Entertainment for another extraordinary action-adventure “G.I....

Joe: The Rise of Cobra” is directed by Stephen Sommers (“The Mummy,” “The Mummy Returns”). --© Paramount [More]
