Yo..... Joe?

Caught the GI JOE : Rise of Cobra live action movie today with my wifey, cinema was basically empty save a few couples here and there, i won't go into the habits of moviegoers ( fer cryin' out loud, i don't appreciate people kicking the back of my seat! ), that's for another time....

Overall, not too bad a movie, again, nothing great either. It pays homage to the comics with references here and there (yes, i know breaker likes to chew gum). The downer was the inclusion of Marlon Wayans for comic relief, thankfully he wasn't too off the top, but he still seems too out of place, PLUS what the F were the writers thinking? Ripcord (whom Wayans plays) as a love interest for Scarlett? Hello? Ripcord wasn't even a black man in the first place.

Did i mention Duke was boring? They could probably take all his scenes out and it wouldn't have made a difference. Still some saving points here and there, Snake Eyes was cool, but woefully underused, and of course, we're watching the movie for the Baroness (drool) who was so gosh darn cool for 2/3's of the show... till she started spazzing and all...

Oh, Scarlett is super hot, but after lip locking with Ripcord, i don't think i'll even d/l this movie. Entertaining movie for which there'll sure to be a sequel. Do something about ripcord, and i'll consider getting the bluray for part 2. I give this a 6.5/10.
