G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009) – 2/5

The action was too “big” – way over the top to the point where I was just like “whatever, did we win?” I guess I’m showing my age b/c kids are probably loving it.

Also, when an action scene w/ “people” is pure CGI, I just don’t really care how big the “stunts” are b/c it’s a “cartoon.” I started thinking this from the Spiderman movies – “Who cares he can swing from a building and do 10 flips? It’s a cartoon. Why not 20 flips?”

The story was ok, but I never bought into the mix of unrealistic and reality. How did this girl in a few years become a dominant evil force on world-wide levels? Granted, it’s not meant to be realistic, but I didn’t buy into their mix.
