Gi Joe: The Rise of Cobra. Wow, let me explain. To help me endure the twisted late 60’s and the early 70’s as a ten year old was vintage Gi Joe and all the really super cool (accessories) that came with him. However, Hasbro’s Television Commercials last words were, “Sold Separately”. My mother made sure I had every item available, God Bless her. Hasbro’s vintage Gi Joe in my opinion, is America’s first irrefutable introduction of the “Action Figure” as we know it today.
Last year, when I heard the news about Hasbro and Paramount Studios and their top secret plans to produce a full Feature Gi Joe Film, I was totally shocked with disbelief. For over a year, I anxiously waited and read every Hollywood Varity news article that I could find regarding the production of this Film. Then, the HUSH, HUSH was over and the Trailers were released.
This Film’s portrayal of Gi Joe was introduced to young America in the mid 1980’s and its cartoon version aired the television waves on Saturdays mornings for years. This generation of the Gi Joe was way after my action figure days. Hasbro’s brilliant marketing schemes and their something or another’s decided to down size the action figure from 12 inches tall to 3 ½ inches tall. The high demand for the Vintage 1960’s Gi Joes remains strong on ebay along with maintaining high value for premium action figures. I collect them personally, so my brother and I decided to go and check this Film out.
The Storyline was totally awesome and flowed like a river. The back stories were outstanding and right on point, gave the viewers the info needed, not to get lost. Screenwriter, Stuart Bettie delivered an awesome script. The Special effects department entirely blew my mind with their continuous creative weaponry, visual graphics and the underwater production sets. Let’s not forget all the cool gadgets and computer imaging, OUTSTANDING! The Roller Coaster kept going and going. Director, Stephen Sommers artistic vision compiled with his positive high energy will make this Film one of the summer’s best ACTION blockbusters. Well Done.
The amazing cast was lead by Hollywood Veteran, Dennis Quaid, Channing Tatum, Sienna Miller, Marlon Wayans, Joseph Gordon Levitt, Ray Park, Christopher Eccleston, Brendan Fraser, Rachel Nichols, Jonathan Pryce, Arnold Vosloo and many other great cast members. This entire cast was Fantastic. Composer, Alan Silvestri gave this Film a Hugh dose of MOJO, BABY. The music score was Ingenious, Bravo!
Fat Cat Randy says, “The simple fact is, America, there will be Prequels and Sequels oozing from all the parts of Gi Joe’s Accelerator Suit”. Welcome Hasbro’s newest Billion dollar BLOCKBUSTER FRANCHISE. Scoot over Transformers, “Look Out Baby, Gi Joe is coming after your shares of the Billions”. Either way, it’s a big big hit for Hasbro because now this toy giant is playing with the big dogs in Comic Book Land. I believe this Film will gross over $300M Worldwide. Get to the Theaters and catch this flick.
