Film 312/365, Day 334/365 – G.I. Joe: The Rise of the Cobra

Some action but very little story.  This film is so desperate to be Star Wars that I almost started to feel sorry for it.  It is also a feature length advert with all of the main characters with their action figure names and flash vehicles and armour, shameless.  Some of the accents are beyond ridiculous, especially the British ones!

Synopsis:  A convoy carrying a dangerous weapon is attacked by a mysterious military team and whilst they are unsuccessful in stealing the weapon it’s just the start of things.  Soon the secret military G.I. Joe will be going head to head with the mysterious Cobra terrorists.

Film 257/365, Day 281/365 – Ballistic: Ecks vs Sever

A pointless story with one or two decent action sequences.  The only point worth watching in this film is when Lucy Liu is being followed and then in turns kicks a lot of ass.  The rest of the film is a complete and utter waste of time.  The story is appalling, the acting not much better and it failed to hold my full attention for 92 minutes which isn’t too much to ask for is it?

Synopsis:  Eck, a grieving FBI agent, is brought back into service to bring down a rogue DIA agent.  But not all is as it seems.
