G.I Joe : The Rise of Cobra

This is perhaps one of my favorite movie I ever watched. My taste, however, is not the same as with those of critics. I found out that the rating of this movie is so low I can assume people would hate it. I've encountered this situation so many times, so I can just ignore it. After all, what does matters is my own taste, not others.

I'm particularly amazed with the action form this movie. It is not like other movie; when we are talking about action movie, we do expect action-packed movie. Not just a few actions and still called action movie. What a shame. The most striking scene is the scene when G.I Joe wants to stop the villains from demolishing Eiffel tower. I can feel adrenaline rushing through my blood vessels, the action was vividly rendered, and the sound is just amazing. Those 'flying' cars just make me terrified, but that's good. It signals the anticipation from audience.

Usually, I can feel bored when the movie is too long. This movie is an incredible exception. I watch it without feeling pushed back. I am so passionate I wish I could watch it again and again.

I also find out that the use of flashbacks so many occasions in this movie actually risen curiosity, thus keeping me in my seat. After some flashbacks between Baroness and Duke, I am quite curious on how a beautiful and kind Anna would become a heartless Baroness. The story of the Anna's brother, however, is not so surprising. For me, it's just a typical twist so that audience is expected to be surprised.

I really hope I can watch this again and again but there are many movies out there waiting.

Verdict : 5 stars
