G.I. Joe Rise of the Cobra Review Part 1 [SPOILER FREE]

First off where have I heard "Rise of the Cobra" before? To me its sound familiar and common in the genre of action films, which I am not a fan of to be honest.

I gave this movie a chance when my girly-girl eleven year old cousin said that "It's a really good movie, Leah. I'm serious, like, really good!" I thought if she liked it then it must be decent. So I went to go see it, with her and her dad, one rainy afternoon with an open mind.

Let me first say that I look for a solid and flowing story in the movies I watch the most when it comes to action films. If it has a sustaining plot and alot of explosions I see no reason for anyone to complain. But that was not the case for this film. As you can guess it simply had alot of explosions.

At the end of the film you are well aware that this is the beginning of a trilogy but in what was an attempt to leave the audience itching to know what happens next by withholding information about certain characters just made me confused as to what was going on. I kept waiting for back stories and sometimes just names for some characters but some people who seemed important to what was going on just remained unnamed and barely spoke.

Overall, it was a very visually pleasing movie to look at but when you go see it don't try looking into what the main point of the film is or else you wont enjoy it very much. It's just the first chapter of a long action packed story. Just enjoy it for what it is. Wicked awesome visual effects and fight scenes.
