Our take on G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra

Stephen Sommers directs this 2009 blockbuster adaptation of the toy and cartoon line, sending the elite G.I. Joe team from the Egyptian desert to the polar ice caps with a full arsenal of next-generation gadgetry. Their mission: stop corrupt arms dealer Destro and the rising Cobra organization from tipping the world into chaos. Spanning action, adventure, sci-fi and thriller, it's built as loud, globe-trotting spectacle, favoring gleaming hardware and large-scale set pieces over nuance. It suits viewers hungry for uncomplicated popcorn action and comic-book villainy, ideally watched with expectations set for maximalist fun. Anyone seeking grounded realism or restraint will find little of it here; escapism is the whole point.
