      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      While fans of the Hasbro toy franchise may revel in a bit of nostalgia, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra is largely a cartoonish, over-the-top action fest propelled by silly writing, inconsistent visual effects, and merely passable performances.

      Georgan G 3.25 stars. Better than expected, and fun to see a great cast have fun with this new franchise. Some laughs, but nothing exciting with special effects. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/17/24 Full Review Derek L Stephen Sommers' take on the live action G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra, failed to shine with a rather silly and messy script, underwhelming characters to mediocre performances and visuals. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/14/24 Full Review Jay F Great action. Fun characters. Decent storyline. Fun to watch. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/16/24 Full Review The H boom boom boom, what else? Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/24 Full Review Antonio B It's my favourite movie ever made Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/16/23 Full Review Michael M Ug, if you grew up in the 80's watching the original cartoon, or reading the Marvel Comics you should avoid this movie at all costs. You will be disappointed at its lack of faithfulness to the source material. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Cliff Doerksen Chicago Reader Loud, shiny, and critic-proof, this franchise launcher is basically Transformers minus the humanity. Aug 20, 2009 Full Review Michael Phillips Chicago Tribune [Director] Sommers did the first two chaotic Mummy remakes; those play like Tender Mercies compared to this one. Rated: 2/4 Aug 14, 2009 Full Review Nick Schager Lessons of Darkness Basically Team America: World Police played straight and minus the political edge. Rated: C Aug 12, 2009 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review You’d be better off buying the toys and acting out your own adventures—the result would prove more satisfying. Rated: 1/4 Sep 4, 2023 Full Review Allison Rose FlickDirect Tatum fits the bill as a soldier well, physically and mentally, but his acting skills are rough. Rated: 3/5 Jul 28, 2021 Full Review Owen Nicholls NME (New Musical Express) Appalling blockbuster garbage. Apr 23, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
