Who is cobra in the gi joe movie

My face is in it. And that, to me, is the best. Doing G. Joe made it real easy to disappear because of all the elaborate stuff on my face. And it demands a totally different kind of acting style.

You sort of check your realism at the door. Ouch, too far! I mean that as a compliment… mostly? In a twist of fate cartoonishly tragic enough for an episode of G. Joe , the very makeup Gordon-Levitt wanted to work with became the biggest hindrance to his performance.

During the collage of the freedom summit, Cobra and his crew leave the boat to meet a small army while Zartan holds his speech.

Then, an explosive firefly lands on the blade and explodes, before Firefly enters the room and retrieves the case. More killing of Zartan's guards while rescuing the real President by Colton and Jaye. There are extra shots of Roadblock's wielding of the assault gun and the final fight with Firefly.

Lastly, Jinx wants to return the sword to Snake Eyes but is signaled to keep it, having proving her worth. Kelly , Alexander Mosley, and Poke. User reviews Review. Top review. I so wanted to like it, but I couldn't. The first G. Joe film was a surprise. I had expected to hate it or at least just enjoy it as a no brainer, but it wasn't so at all. I really liked the special effects, the villains, the story. The reason why I had made the effort of watching it was the appearance of Retaliation, which had really nice trailers.

So, after much waiting, I was able to watch G. Joe Retaliation The jokes lamer, the effects cheaper, the story linear and impossible and the script bad, the acting worse, the fighting stupid.

My conclusion: a failure that not even the presence of Ray Stevenson could not save. Arnold Vosloo practically did not act in this film, while some of the characters were killed outright for no other reason that I can see except that their actors didn't want to play this film. Don't watch this. It's a waste of time.

Connections Edited from Black Hawk Down User reviews Review. By now most of the GI Joe's had been assassinated in an attack which was spearheaded by Firefly and launched by Zartan, who was impersonating President of United States.

Upon hearing that three Joes survived the attacks partially due to negligent strategy on the behalf of one Cobra soldier, Cobra Commander is outraged that a few Joes survived and ordered Firefly and Zartan to eliminate those three quickly.

Cobra Commander fled to a secret Cobra base of unknown location where he oversaw the construction of a Zeus satellite, a weapon that could drop a Tungsten rod with a force equivalent to a nuclear bomb which he planned on using for his quest for world domination. Cobra Commander forced an eye-scan from the true President of the United States to gain him access to the United States's nuclear arsenal as part of his plan for global nuclear disarmament.

Once Zartan still disguised as the President was able to convince the world's leaders to get rid of their nuclear arsenals including the US's , he revealed the Zeus satellite array and described their power as being similar yet also different from a nuke, as the explosives aren't launched; but dropped.

Cobra Commander then entered the meeting room and ordered his soldiers to drop a Tungsten rod on London. As the world leaders were about to surrender to the Commander, Storm Shadow and Jinx immediately began killing off Cobra soldiers, forcing Cobra Commander to order all other Zeus satellites to fire on their designated targets, also ordering Firefly to protect the command briefcase for them.

Roadblock, Flint, and Lady Jaye managed to finish off the last of the Cobra soldiers, Firefly, and Zartan who was killed by Storm Shadow , but Cobra Commander was able to escapein a helicopter before he could be captured as his satellites self-destructed, ending Cobra's plan.

Later, as the real President of the United States reclaimed his position, General Joseph Colton handed Roadblock a pistol that belonged to General George Patton, asking Roadblock to use it to finish off the Commander once he finds him. Rex Lewis was originally a friendly man who was good friends with Duke and Ripcord. He was a clever scientist and Ana affectionately referred to him as her "genius, egghead brother". However Rex appeared to be obsessed with science, even saying that the nanotechnology created by Doctor Mindbender was "beautiful.

After his apparent death, Rex was badly scarred, and was unable to breathe properly without the mask he wore. He developed a great hatred of Duke, thinking that Duke had abandoned him. The trauma of being caught in an explosion, along with the hatred he felt towards Duke, caused him to go mad and he became sadistic, vengeful and power-hungry.

Rex gained the trust of James McCullen while secretly planning to take over M. S Industries and replace it with a new organization named Cobra. He was determined to make Duke suffer for abandoning him, displaying both his sadism and his lust for revenge. Rex claimed that he had loved his sister Ana and originally injected her with nanomites to spare her from the pain she felt over his "death" and Duke's abandonment. However as time went on, Rex became so corrupted that he was willing to kill his own sister.

Despite being held in a prison tube for so long, Cobra Commander's animosity was somewhat quelled for the most part. Even so, he still ordered all the Joes to be annihilated, proving it wasn't completely gone, but at the same time he was less hands-on than when he was posing as "The Doctor.

Had it not been for the high pressure of being under fire, the Commander might have succeeded if he had fled with the control briefcase himself instead of entrusting it to Firefly, who had an encounter with Roadblock and was killed, allowing the Joe to destroy Cobra Commander's Zeus satellites.
