The One They Call Unusual: GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra Review

Flip-The-Page-Note: wow look a new article by THE ONE THEY CALL UNUSUAL. In this case however I'm trying a new method, wherein this blog has the opening paragraphs, then if you enjoy the content you jump over to his site to read the rest (and the same opening). Let's see how well this works!

(The One They Call Unusual Note: just so that it appears on this side as well as the other side, a shout out to Lee Byung-hun. He had the best acting out of the whole cast and was awesome in this film, and yes, this is a plug due to the fact that he is even more awesome in ‘The Good The Bad The Weird’. Seriously, if you want a Korean action western film and don’t mind subtitles, go for this! It’s awesome)

When I first saw the trailer of this film, I thought to myself it was undeniably stupid, probably badly acted and the CGI was not that great at all. Unlike the first Transformers film (the second one was far away worse than this), was the proof that is in the pudding that was being shown in the trailer, that plastic dolls can make a good film? The trailer said no. Bratz the movie proved this as well. DON'T WATCH THE BRATZ FILM!

Really, this movie has it all, ninjas, swords, ships, guns, ladies but it didn’t seem right… the suits in the trailer made it all the more cheesy, the plot was suspect and the overall feeling was that this film was written by the writers of Demolition Man, and that this was another Michael Bay film.
Here’s the plot if you really want it (courtesy of Paramount, Hasbro, and Spyglass Entertainment); From the Egyptian desert to deep below the polar ice caps, the elite G.I. JOE team uses the latest in next-generation spy and military equipment to fight the corrupt arms dealer Destro (McCullen actually) and the growing threat of the mysterious Cobra organization to prevent them from plunging the world into chaos.

Like destroying the Eiffel Tower. Chaos. Blowing up a forest in a fictional country. That type of chaos.


Threats include really explosive guns, hardened suits, Marlon Wayans and explosions… and those are just the Joes.
