G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra
Why I’ve Picked this choice – When this movie came out I couldn’t get enough of it, it is a pure silly popcorn action film, it is directed by Stephen Sommers who bought us The Mummy, which was an automatic selling point, as I am a fan of all of his films, being Deep Rising, Van Helsing or Odd Thomas, I like his style and this is a film that continues his flare for action. It might well be your typical America to the rescue storyline, but it works with ease, as I don’t know anything about the original action figures the characters are meant to based on. We do also have a wonderful cast, that lets everybody play to their strengths and even though the most part of the critic world didn’t enjoy it too much, you can just have fun with this one.
