Cobra throw 2 or why did I look at it?!
Last Thursday, an epoch -making premiere took place: the continuation of the stupid, but very precious action movie “Cobra Throw”, bounced by Russian translators “G.I.Joe: Cobra Throw 2 “. Of course, the localizers do not care about what the first film was called in the original “G.I.Joe: The Rise of Cobra, ”that is,“ Soldiers Joe: Sunrise of Cobra ”, and the second -“ G.I.Joe: Retaliation “AK” Soldiers Joe: Retribution “. Although compared with the incomparable translation of the name “Star Trek into Darkness” as “Starting: Retribution” nothing can be compared! True, this is still not about that.
To begin with, I liked the first “throw of cobra”, as there was humor, the sea of action and charismatic characters. Therefore, there is nothing surprising that I was waiting for the second film. Although, of course, not as much as we would like, since part of the first part of their favorite characters was removed, replacing them with new. Only the inexpressive in their acting game Channing Tatum, which suddenly became a star after the film about male striptease, and the charismatic in his silence Snake Aiz. They added Dwayne the “rock” of Johnson, playing Dwine’s “Rock” Johnson, a girl of model appearance Edrianne Palika, who looks better than Sienna Miller from the first part, and Bruce Willis himself, returned to the life of Ninju Storm Shaddou’a from the first part. How the latter managed to survive after hitting a sword and swimming in ice water in the film did not explain how why it was he suddenly switched to the side of the good guys.
At first, everything goes more or less smoothly: steep guys steal Pakistani nuclear warheads, the pseudo-president of America orders them to destroy (thank God, the hero of Tatum died!), only three survive, Storm SHEDOU rescues the commander of Cobra from prison, some kind of muddy character of Faurflay (“Firefly”, yeah) appears, everything explodes and burns, and the characters exchange pathos, especially the silly head of the super-secret prison, which heroically explodes this very super-secret prison (sic!).
Then everything went back somehow. The fgfox.co.uk film was filled with absolutely meaningless and unnecessary characters, such as Kuzina Storm Shadou’a Jinx or one-eyed black-ninja performed by RZA rapper, ultrapathos and not banal, and sometimes stupid dialogues and tired Bruce Willis, who in this film is 10 minutes in about 10 minutes. Actually, all the scenes that you saw in the trailer are actually all scenes with his participation. But the most indicative is the moment when the US president threatens the heads of nuclear powers, playing at Angry Birds simultaneously, and then destroys London. Only the moment looked funny with the head of North Korea, who until the last could not destroy his nuclear warheads, taking into account what is happening in this country now.
The action turned out to be boring and unrestrained. A fight on the rocks between the ninja looks protected, and ropes of this length should weigh as a good wheel from an SUV. At the same time, before this very fight, there is a clarification of the relationship between Snayk Aise and Storm Shedow, pouring into the execution of shurikens and breaking windows, and between Jinx and some kind of granny, who ended in unilateral BBPE. Where all this time (about 15 minutes) there were those very enemy ninja is incomprehensible.
The final battle – the template is the template and the template lobbles. The hero of Johnson goes to the operational spaciousness on the miracle of technology, the hybrid of Baggie, the tank and the air cushion, which it is not clear how they managed to drag to the venue of the anti -aidant summit. Snayk Aise and Storm Shedow fights back to the back, after which the silent ninja gives his opponent a sword, the appearance of which can be called a reference to “kill Bill”, with the help of which the pseudo-president safely goes to the world of another.
And during all this, the Cobra commander leisurely goes into the sunset, flying away by helicopter and promising the third part. And he absolutely cares that his plan broke.
As a result, we have a boring, template and uninteresting pseudo-fantastic action movie, clinging a pair of successful jokes, a reference to nubes in the games of the Call of Duty series and several interesting action scenes (the destruction of London in 3D looks “excellent”, but still we have to survive). Although what else to expect from the director of the film about Justin Bieber. And the epigraph for this film can serve as the phrase of one of the villains: “I will shoot him a head” at a time when he aimed at the back.
P.WITH.: I would like to speak separately on the topic of the age rating. This film, in which there were a lot of scammers, explosions, several ambiguous jokes and almost no blood, received a 12+ rating while the Jurassic Park in 3D, containing scenes of eating people, torn goat and hand of Samuel L. Jackson and generally rather tense, has a rating 6+. I have only one question: what the hell?!
