Rounding out the Joe’s are Heavy Duty and Breaker, whose names I’ve had to look up for this article. His relationship with Scarlet gives them both more depth than it first appears, but not much. As likeable an actor as Tatum is, Duke doesn’t have any defining characteristics outside of his previous relationship and his friendship with Ripcord, who just seems to be along for the ride for comic relief reasons, rather than actual team value. With Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow having a shared history and rivalry, whilst Baroness has a shared past with Channing Tatum’s Duke.

Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow and the Baroness all get some development by some (oddly placed) flashbacks. The main villains fair a little better, as does Snake Eyes (there’s a reason he’s getting a spin-off) as these characters are more distinctive. Most of the Joes’ abilities are fairly similar visually, with the usual henchman for cannon fodder. Unfortunately, while the film has a lot of action, none of it is particularly impressive or memorable.

Pretty simple stuff, but no one goes into this for the plot. The Joe’s are an elite military unit, with each one having their own particular skill set and equipment.

Like the Transformers films, Rise of Cobra takes various elements from the cartoon, comics and toys, giving them a 21st century upgrade at the same time. The rivalry between Snake Eyes (Ray Park) and Storm Shadow (Lee Byung-Hun) is a highlight // Credit: Hasbro, Paramount, 2009
