What people have to say

1. Aditya

It was the most fun I've had at a movie in a long time. Just a lot of mindless fun, awesome groundbreaking chase scenes, and sci-fi set pieces that rival anything George Lucas has ever done. I would have liked a little more character development but that's okay. GI JOE suffers from the same problem as The Transformers - too many cool, and historically-beloved characters, and not enough running time to squeeze them all in.

2. Pete Thomson

My 12 yr old loved it and had no interest in the argument that mindless rubbish like GI-Joe stops there being greater diversity and choice in today’s modern multiplex. As I am happy bringing up an illiterate child who craves stereotypes that are both sexist and violent I saw no reason to argue. Who needs culture when you have crap!

Most of the people had negative comments for the movie and only a very few liked it.

Now let’s take a look at the ratings.

Flixter 2.7 out of 5

Imbd 2.5 out of 5

Rottentomatoes 1.8 out of 5

Hinduatan times 2 out of 5

(Note: Ratings calculated from user reviews.)

My ratings 3 out of 5

Overall G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra can be termed as an average movie. Looking forward for your comments.
