I finally watched G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra yesterday, after a month of release here in the Philippines, I still got chance to witness Duke, Ripcord, Scarlett, Baroness, Heavy Duty, Snake Eyes, Breaker and the rest of the Joes in action. I thought I wouldn't be able to watch them in the big screen anymore, thanks to my recent discovery, a local movie online portal, Clickthecity.com where schedules for movies shown in the cinemas here in Metro Manila are posted. Out of 85 cinemas, only SM North Edsa in Quezon City still offers screening for the film for over a month now, and just got the chance to watch it because it is really far from our place (Taguig City to Quezon City, north to south). I tried to watch it in our place, but I was one day late when I went to Market-Market (the nearest mall to our place), I even went to Monumento to watch it a week after, still didn't catch it on time, It was already replaced by Kimmy Dora, wanna watch it though, but I thought of waiting for it in DVD instead.
Anyway, going back to G.I. Joe, it really rocks!...so cool, that I even forgot that I just had 3 hours of sleep 'coz I watched it after the night shift. It didn't send me to sleep, unlike Transformers 2, which made me missed 4 - 5 seconds of the film towards the end for several times, but I still like Transformers 2, can't wait to own it in DVD. Effects were really great (what would you expect for 175 million dollars production budget), and the story too, I like the way Stephen Sommers (also the Director of Van Helsing, The Mummy, and The Mummy Returns) presented the plot, especially the quick flash back of the characters. The actions were really breath taking. Sienna Miller and Rachel Nichols really kicked ass/asses. Can't wait to watch the sequel, I'm sure there would be a sequel, two or three years from now. G.I. Joe now is earning $283.7 millions world wide and currently at No. 13 for 2009 and at No. 225 for all time box office record. It will not surpass the Transformers 2 or HP6 earnings, but G.I. Joe will still remain the best action film and number one for me so far.
If still showing, I'll watch Gerard Butler's Gamer next week, then Bruce Willis's Surrogates a week after that, 2012 this November and James Cameron's Avatar this December.
