This one was a definite not sure if I'd like it. I originally ordered it for my husband but it was amazing!! I like it more than he does. It definitely amazed me. From the first 10 minutes until the end it's non-stop action and secrets that'll keep you guessing until the end. Now I just need to get the 2nd one. :)

If the characters had never opened their mouths, this would have been a decent movie.
The special effects are good (not great), the music is alright, and the storyline is interesting.
Man, oh man, why did the characters have to talk? Horrible, horrible, horrible dialogue.
If you have not seen a Sci-Fi/Action Flick, since before Starship Troopers, you might enjoy this. But if you have ... your time will be better spent watching a different Stephen Sommer's film.
I believe that every line spoken in this film has been done, dozens of times before and so much better.
Sommers really disappointed me, this time.

The Movie was an explosion of action and special effects! Bu

"Yesterday, I received my 2 disc edition of G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, and I looked over the sleeve and it looked nice and got me all excited, reminded me of the G.I. Joe days of when I was a kid watching the cartoon! Then, I later last night put the second disc in to check out the extras! HA that was a joke! The only extras on this 2 disc is the making of the movie, and the special effects behind the scenes thing. Now granted those were cool, but the only real reason for the second disc is for the digital copy! I honestly think this movie is not worth [...] at all, maybe 16.99! Big deal you get the digital copy! How many of us out there really use the digital copy? Where was the deleted and alternate scenes? Is it really coming to the point where things are going to Blu Ray and not to regular dvd which their are a heck of a lot more dvd player owners then blu ray! I say if you are looking at this review on deciding whether to purchase the 2 disc, wait till it goes cheaper and get it! Don't spend over 10 bucks for it! Thanks for your time I hope this helps!"

"I had low expectations of the film after hearing some of the many disappointments. But to my surprise, I found it very entertaining. It was a fun and had great martial arts sequences, good action scenes and a nice sense of humor to it. The story line for an action flick kept me attentive as well. The plot moved along well and didn't feel like there were any slow moments. I wasn't comparing it too hard to the original cartoon because it's a different time now and artists can have some creative liberty. It was still fun to see some of the old familiar characters. Great job with Snake Eyes. Overall, good entertainment."
