Joe Team, providing the audience's point-of-view. Locations include the Arctic, Paris, Moscow, Washington, D.C., Australia and the Sahara. The G.I. Joe Team is based in the Pit, while it was indicated Cobra Island will appear. MOVIE TRAILER (youtube) IMDB PROFILE Now you know, AND KNOWING IS HALF THE BATTLE.

Joe movie to come out for a long time, and finally it's going to be released this Friday on August 7. Well, all over the internets, there are G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra reviews popping up. And to a lot of peoples surprise, they are mostly positive. The major consensus is that Rise of Cobra will be a good 'summer popcorn' movie. Honestly, I don�t think we were expecting anything less. [quote= Movie Reviews] �Bottom line it worked great. The cast looked great, the costumes looked good on screen, the weapons were awesome and the story moved along pretty smoothly without any major plot holes. There were enough references and cameos to keep die hard G.I. Joe fans happy.

It�s pretty much what you would expect a summer action movie to be. The biggest question, I guess, is this: �Is it a G.I. Joe movie?� Honestly, I�d have to say �No.� It�s not quite the G.I. Joe I remember, but it is a big, cheesy, fun and silly action movie that kept me entertained for about 2 hours.� - AICN �[�]but I can say that the children in the screening were having a blast, and without a doubt were pushing their parents to buy whatever action figure for the character they most identified with.� - AICN �Anyways, this was one of those test screenings so we were given ratings cards and the film was introduced by one of the exec producers of the movie. He mentioned we were one of the first audiences to see the movie but that the SFX for the final 20 minutes were still being finished, so he apologized if they seemed a little off. Honestly, it wasn�t all the noticeable.� - Jinxworld Forums �It�s a really good movie. It�s a ton of fun and a great ride. And much closer to the GI JOE I remember tha |
