G.I. Joe: The Rise of the Cobra was premiered in Dublin’s Cineworld recently. The movie is probably the last big summer blockbuster action movie of this year. It’s big, brash and fast paced and will undoubtedly do very well all around the world.
Starring Channing Tatum, Sienna Miller, Marlon Wayans and Christopher Eccleston among others the story is farfetched and ridiculous but hey, that doesn’t matter!
Some great chase scenes and high octane fight scenarios keep the whole show moving at break neck speed. Interestingly Paramount Pictures didn’t show this movie to many critics in advance of release, I guess they didn’t need to. It does exactly what it says on the tin.
