according to one review 'marlon wayans steals the show'! - G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009) Discussion

Joseph Gordon-Levitt as The Doctor/Rex/Cobra Commander is the one who really stole the show.

Agreed. Gordon-Levitt and Eccleston did the best acting in the movie, and also had the most compelling characters. It's a shame the characters were so underdeveloped (as was pretty much every other character).

Really? I thought he was awful, he tried way to hard to replicate the cartoon voice.

I don't think Gordon sounded anything like Chris Latta's Cobra Commander. Not even close. Unless you mean one of the other cartoons?

It didn't sound exactly the same, but it was just too over the top, and like a live-action version of the cartoon, if that makes any sense.

I rather enjoyed his "Doctor" voice. The whole film is over the top really.

I didn't know there was a show worth stealing!

You can't fight in here, this is the War Room!!!

The only theft going on here is the studio for stealing 303 million dollars from the movie going public on this piece of merde.

This film was so bad that it made Arnold Vosloo look like a scene stealer!

No matter how awful something is, there's always at least one person in the world who likes it. Case and point; said review.

I think Joseph Gordon Levitt stole the show, actually.. He really hammed it up, and it worked. I've always admired his talent.

As for Marlon? How did he steal the show? Every time he's in a movie, i already know exactly what his character role will be..

The one that is:

One dimensional

Stereotypical

Requires no talent

Very "Minstrel" like the rest of his family

And contributes absolutely nothing to any film - other "comedy relief" if you want to call it that..

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that you'e white.

Your limb is non-existent, sir.

I'm native american, and marched in the civil rights movement. To add more branches to your "Limb".. Blacks and Natives fought to have movie roles that depicted us with certain level of pride in our heritage.

To add a few leaves to your limb and your branch - every thing we fought for..

the right to sit at the same table as whites

the right to have movie roles that do not depict us as stereotypical

the right to sit at the front of the bus when we have to travel off the Rez..

the right to go to a movie and smile with pride when we see us NOT being depicted as savages, minstrels, prostitutes, drug dealers, side kicks, maids, studs, pimps, or mutes.

Everything we've fought for in art, music, and the media - has been thrown back in our faces thanks to this generation of sell-outs and shameless types of our very own cultures.. All for a few bucks, and exposure.

Mine, is a perspective of a culture that is ashamed of the Wyans, The rappers, The comedians, the reality TV actors, who have no idea what we fought for. And could care less, as long as they get theirs.

So no, i'm not white.. I'm just posting the truth, which does not require "color".. only experience, and years of observation.
