Here’s a little trivia I found fascinating. Ray Park plays “Snake Eyes” in GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra. He played “Toad” in X-Men (2000) and was Darth Maul in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace (1999).
Ray Park has won numerous championships and medals after falling in love with martial arts at the age of 7.
GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra was one of those movies that my husband was more interested in than I was. In the same way he came with me to see The Proposal, I went with him to see GI Joe. Funny thing happened though – I absolutely LOVED this movie. It is hilarious and fiercely entertaining.
GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra is one of those rare films where you don’t look away from the screen from opening credits to closing credits. There was killer action in every scene.
Afterward I thought, “Finally, another movie that was as entertaining as Star Trek.” I thought Transformers 2 was going to be but.. well, not quite.
Sienna Miller does a sensational job in GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra as bad girl/good girl Ana. I’ve seen her in a few other movies, and I just can’t get over how much she has grown as an actress. At this rate, I can’t wait to see her next movie – and I hope it’s a starring role.
She blew me away.
I was impressed with the rest of the cast as well. There were several fairly newcomers that I’d love to see more of: Rachel Nichols (Scarlett), Channing Tatum (Duke), Byung-hun Lee (Storm Shadow), Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Heavy Duty), Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Rex), Marlon Wayans (Ripcord), Jonathan Pryce (US President – best known for his Pirates of the Caribbean role.).
Marlon Wayans is beyond hilarious and puts the steal in scene stealer.
If you haven’t seen this movie yet, put your shoes on and head off for the theater. It’s a must see.
