G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra

Now, if you’re one who adores and and is a sucker for action films, it’s actually quite impossible you will miss out on the already screening in cinemas nationwide near you, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra!

For those who has yet to catch the film, and you know you love these movies (like Transformers and so on), I just have three words for you. G.I. Joe: TRoC “exceeds all expectations”! I have watched it, and I gotta say, I was pretty satisfied with the whole movie, indeed the RM9 (student card price) spent was well worth my time!

I dare say, its even better than Transformers 2: The Rise of the Fallen. You gotta trust me on that!

The explosive, the technology, the arsenals, the ninja fights, the dangerous stunts, the hot chicks,etc. Hey it has everything a typical guy loves to watch man!

Yea, hot chick like Sienna Miller (Ana, the Baronness). I likes!

I personally was awed by the amazing technology used throughout the whole film! Stuffs like nanotech weaponries, pulse guns, accelerator suits (say what??), underwater command centre, etc. I mean, no point for me telling you how excited I was throughout the whole film, you gotta watch it to understand man! xD

Man, and the scenes in France was plain epic! I was totally blown away by the non-stop thrilling action sequences that really got me on my toes, haha! I’m serious! Not to mention, the humour. Yea, lots of humour were added, so you can expect the show to be pretty entertaining on and off!

Perhaps the only thing that you can complain about the whole show is that, certain stuffs got omitted, and they didn’t really explain everything in details, just bits and parcel of things here and there, but hey, compared to Transformers 2, G.I Joe: TRoC actually makes sense! Now that’s to you hard core G.I Joe fans who knows everything about the cartoon!

Now that G.I. Joe showed us how nanotech warfare looks like, it does leave us to ponder about so many ‘What if’ questions. For all we know, the United States of America already possess such advanced weaponry. Dang, now I can truly say the world is gonna end if all hell breaks loose with all these nanotech nonsense~!

Anyway, for those who have no idea what’s the show is all about, don’t worry, I have the whole idea of the show here.

[SPOILERS ALERT, SO READ AT YOUR OWN RISK]

In the near future, weapons expert James McCullen (Christopher Eccleston) has created a nanotechnology-based weapon capable of destroying an entire city. His company MARS sells four warheads to NATO, and the U.S. Army is tasked with delivering the warheads. Duke (Channing Tatum) and Ripcord (Marlon Wayans) are delivering the warheads when they are ambushed by the Baroness (Sienna Miller), who Duke recognized to be his fiancee Ana Lewis. Duke and Ripcord are rescued by Scarlett (Rachel Nichols), Snake Eyes (Ray Park) and Heavy Duty (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje). They take the warheads to The Pit, G.I. Joe’s command center in North Africa, and upon arriving rendezvous with General Hawk (Dennis Quaid), the head of the G.I. Joe Team. Hawk takes command of the war-heads and excuses Duke and Ripcord, only to be convinced to have them join his group after Duke reveals that he knows the Baroness.

McCullen is revealed to be using the same nanotechnology to build an army of soldiers with the aid of the Doctor (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), planing on using the warheads to bring panic and bring about a new world order. Using a tracking device, McCullen locates the G.I. Joe base and sends Storm Shadow (Lee Byung-hun) and the Baroness to retrieve the warheads with assistance from Zartan (Arnold Vosloo), inflicting casualties on several G.I. Joe soldiers. After a fight, Storm Shadow and the Baroness retrieve the warheads and take them to Baron DeCobray, the Baroness’s husband, for him to weaponize and use them to destroy the Eiffel Tower to serve as a showing of the warhead’s destructive power. Making their way to Paris, the Joes pursue them through the streets but are unsuccessful in stopping them from launching the missile. Duke manages to hit the kill switch, but in doing so he is captured and taken to McCullen’s base under the Arctic.

G.I. Joe locates the secret base and fly there as McCullen loads three missiles with nano-mite warheads. After Snake Eyes takes out one, Ripcord pursues the remaining missiles in a prototype Night Raven jet while Scarlett and her group infiltrate the base. While Scarlett and Snake Eyes attempt to shut down the Arctic base, with Heavy Duty leading an attack on Cobra’s forces, Duke learns that the Doctor is Rex Lewis, Ana’s brother believed to have been killed on a mission led by Duke four years ago. He was trapped in a bunker with Doctor Mindbender (Kevin O’Connor), disfigured in the blast which everyone presumed had killed him. The Baroness tries to free Duke but the Doctor reveals he has implanted her with nano-mites which has put her under his control for the past four years, admitting his amazement that she is resisting the programming. Attempting to kill Duke, McCullen ends up being facially burned as he flees with Rex to an escape vessel. Duke and the Baroness pursue him while the Joes fall back when Rex activated the base’s self destruct sequence.

Rex then heals McCullen’s burned face with nano-mites, encasing it in silver as he christens McCullen “Destro” and assumes the identity of Cobra Commander before they are captured by G.I. Joe soon after. On board the supercarrier USS Flagg, Baroness is placed in protective custody until they can remove the nano-mites from her body. Meanwhile, Zartan, having been earlier operated on by Rex, infiltrates the White House during the missile crisis and assumes the identity of the President of the United States (Jonathan Pryce).

Don’t say I didn’t warn you about spoilers when you go yelling, “WHAT THE HECK NOW I KNOW THE WHOLE SHOW WITHOUT EVEN WATCHING IT!” Blame yourself, lol!
