Good action but no logic. Review on G.I.Joe The Rise of Cobra

Watchin this movie is like playin a vidoe game for the same duration, lot of imagination and work have been done to create cool gadgets and weaponery but it is again pure imagination no logic as ofcourse it is an adaptation of the cartoon characters, like as in one of the scenes a chase through the streets of Paris involving the combined force of a dozen Joes, deadly missiles and million-dollar accelerator suits all in pursuit of a Hummer filled with the bad guys, there’s lot of sound, fury, car crashes, and explosions galore, but never an explanation for why no one shoots out the Hummer’s tyres but again it was entertaining.

in the story line we can see that some weapons exprt who is anti or the french people invents a missile full of devastation stuff in nano form aspiring to weapoise the same stuff but not equipped to do so, sells that stuff to the us govt, with a plan to steal the same with help of a villain with fleets of high-tech submarines and jets at his command would have the weapon driven to its first target in the above mentioned Hummer.

The G.I. Joe squad is run by Hawk, an American General who recruits, trains and makes part of his special-ops team the best and brightest from 23 nations. Duke on the other hand with ripcord were part of the military transport ambushed by McCullen and saved by the Joes. Hawk’s had his eye on Duke for a while and brings both to his secret facility hidden deep beneath the Egyptian sand. In less time than it takes for, say, a montage set to a remixed pop song and an awkward Brendan Fraser cameo, both men are trained and ready to go.

now here in the story other than being anti french McCullen’s endgame is never fully explained and one character’s Darth Vader-ish turn to the darkside comes completely out of nowhere after a look at a real neat piece of military hardware.

A number of back stories are told through frequent flashbacks that halt an already lumbering plot to a complete stop. There’s no sense making explanation of what the ultimate stakes are, and therefore ther is even less suspense or sense of peril. There is a moment at the end of the movie that tries to wrap up what it all meant the promise of a sequel that feels like more of a threat.

over all as said before also one may enjoy the not making sense, scenes of action with breathtaking visual and sound effects. worth a watch atleast once.
