G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra 2009 5* Preview Bash, boom. Fists, swords, guns, bombs. "We're running out of time". "This has only just begun".

Plot details are less important than heart-stopping action alternating with suspense. Good guys chase bad guys while wise-cracking quips. Visual and sound effects multiply thrills. What could be better? Surprise twists shake up premise so we can watch again and again.
