I can tell you right now that any bad reviews you’ve read are from critics who clearly don’t get the appeal of the Real American Heroes. Fortunately for us, Sommers does. Whether you’re a fan of G.I. Joe (I am) or just like big budget, action spectacles, you will enjoy every pulse pounding moment of The Rise of Cobra. Continue reading
