Well i went ahead and watched the GI JOE RISE OF COBRA again just to see if i had missed anything or if I would feel diferently about it. Turns out I someow missed TWO WHOLE CRUCIAL SCENES. I missed the entire assault on the PIT by Cobra. I missed the secret origin Flashback of Snakeeyes and there was something else. Basically This is how I saw things. One moment I'm watching Destro plan the attack on the PIT with Baroness and Stormshadow then where in the Middle East Flashback with Duke and Anna while the JOES are deploying to Paris to get the Nanno weapons (which by my account somehow magically apeared in the Baroness hands.

One of two things must have happened. Either I fell assleep during those key moments, or somehow the projecter skiped over it on the reel.

either way the paradoxical feeling kinna ruined most of the story for me.

Now I think it's pretty damn cool. I like the conflict of intrests between Destro Baroness and Duke. The love/ hate triangle really adds an element of realism to the chars.

I did have a problem with Ripcords scene with the Nightraven (as cool as it was). The fact that Ripcord was reported at doing "Mach 6 and loving it" without wearing an oxygen mask really pushes the boundries of the beleivability. I'm not sure exactly WHY assited breathing is needed. I imagine it has something to do with the thin air aloft and the G-force affects on the lungs. pherhaps the cabin could have been pressurized though that would be a revolutionary concept on a fighter plane as far as i know. but Even old WWII pilots wore Oxygen masks so I dunnaoh.

Anyway it was really awsome and def a movie i will be owning in the near future.
