Sometimes nothing suits the eyes better than a bit of mindless mayhem at the end of summer. That’s what G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra is.

G.I. Joe is unvarnished eye candy that sports hunky studs (Channing Tatum, Marlon Wayans) and shapely cheesecake (Rachel Nichols, Sienna Miller) in tight form-fitting and form-enhancing plastiform suits.

There’s a little bit of story, just enough to provide segues to the extended CGI action sequences – rife with kung-fu swordplay, splatter guns, missiles, and all kinds of punches and explosions – that will keep young or inert intellects drooling down both sides of their chins.

G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra is easy fun, and it continues to do well at the box office. In fact, despite the presence of better films, the Fairmount Cinema 6 reports that it has been and is, generally, their top ticket seller.

G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra
is rated PG-13, mostly for action violence. Our Sebring Cinema and Sports rating, on a scale of zero to five reels, five being the best:
