Movie Night -- G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra

I do not give away anything in this "review" about the movie so do not be afraid to read it :-)

Ever since I saw the preview for this movie during the Super Bowl this year I have been geeking out and so excited to see GI Joe. And when I say geeking out I mean immediately looking up to see the release date of the movie and going online and watching any and all trailers about the movie.

I know that GI Joe was around back when my parents were kids, but they didn't have the cartoon show like we did when my husband and I were kids, and that was a cool show! All summer long I've been looking forward to seeing this movie and tonight my wait was finally over.

For those of you that grew up watching GI Joe on TV and playing with the action figures, you will not be disappointed. This movie is without a doubt awesome! The characters were well cast and the things they did in the movie (such as the action scenes with those amazing power suits) were just so cool to watch. I don't want to give anything away because I want you to be able to enjoy the movie as much as I did.

If there are any of you with young kids that are on the fence about whether or not you want to take them, as long as you don't mind some of the fighting sequences, I say go for it! Now I loved the Transformers movies, but one thing about the second Transformers movie that I thought they could have done without was some of the bad language. I think if you're making a movie that a younger audience is going to want to see as well, you can do without a lot of the language. With the GI Joe movie, you don't have to worry about any bad language. This is a great movie for the entire family to go see.

If you like action....if you have fond memories of GI Joe as a kid....if you're like my girlfriend and just want to see it because of the cute guy in the movie....go see it!!

GO JOE!
