Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Fluke_Skywalker When a cult begins committing a rash of murders, the LAPD are forced to turn to one of their detectives who goes to the very edge of the law and beyond.Clocking in at just under 90 minutes, Cobra is a movie with even less fat than its famously muscled star. Essentially a Dirty Harry for the 80s, it features the standard "The law isn't always justice" cop who shows his milquetoast superiors how it's done. Stallone awkwardly tries to graft a sarcastic edge to his match chewing, sunglasses wearing monosyllabic avatar, but the quips fall flatter than a 14th century globe. Paired with wife Brigitte Nielsen--who's not exactly Meryl Streep, but better than you'd think--he scowls and shoots his way to the final showdown with the main villain, played with an unnerving intensity by Brian Thompson (you may not know the name, but you know the face). Honestly he's the best thing about the movie, and I only wish there'd been more of him.

gorf It's sad that Cobra is so darn violent, because it has a lot of good stuff in it, stuff like:1. How Cobra feels like something out of an old pulp magazine, like The Spider. The tough vigilante gunslinger dressed in black, a secret society of villains that are pure evil, helpless police, a super-fast car, a damsel in distress. It's a low budget movie that feels so big and epic. "Cobra" even sounds like the title of a pulp magazine. If you changed a few things, this could have been a pretty good Spider movie.2. The villains are scary, and believable. A secret society based on Darwinian principles. One can easily imagine a group of psychopaths inspired by someone like Richard Dawkins or Peter Singer kill off of people they deem "weak". And Brian Thompson is great as the boss. Almost makes me forget his role in Mortal Kombat: Annihilation.3. Robert Tepper's music sets the mood.4. Stallone as Cobra. He's a tough guy with a heart of gold. It's amazing that they didn't make more movies about this character. The matchstick, the sunglasses...he's so cool and tough that it becomes hilarious.5. Surprisingly, no unnecessary sex scenes/nudity. There is, however, some disturbing references to sexual violence, and the movie is pretty violent and gritty. I know, I know...it's an action movie where Rambo fights a gang of dangerous serial killers, but still. It is possible to make dark and gritty movies without all of the gory violence. And then there's the language. Had they toned it down a bit, I would have liked it much better.But, for all it's faults, I'll admit that Cobra still is a pretty exciting movie. A combination of pulse pounding action and chilling horror. If you like pulp magazines, you will probably like Cobra. And if you like Cobra, maybe you should check out some pulps?

BA_Harrison 1986: the battle for '80s action hero supremacy rages on, Sylvester Stallone countering Arnold Schwarzenegger's Commando (1985) with Cobra, a violent, ego-stroking exercise in machismo in which the Italian Stallion stars as hard-boiled, no-nonsense cop Marion Cobretti, whose policing methods make Dirty Harry look like a liberal by comparison.Clad in trench-coat and bun-hugging jeans, and wearing aviator shades while chewing a matchstick, cool-as-a-cucumber Cobretti is called in to do the jobs considered too dangerous for the other cops, which usually means gunning down armed psychos. This makes him the perfect man to protect fashion model Ingrid Knudsen (Brigitte Nielsen), who is the only person who can identify the leader of a gang of crazed killers that have been terrorising Los Angeles.Just about as '80s as an action flick can get, this film is full of embarrassing macho posturing from its star, and lots of expensive set-pieces in which cars get trashed, stuff blows up, and people are riddled with bullets, all accompanied by a nasty soundtrack of forgettable pop/rock songs. Cobretti saunters through the death and destruction suffering nary a scratch while offing countless bad guys with ease, pausing occasionally to mumble the obligatory witty one-liners (although none of them are very memorable on this occasion).Giving able support are Andrew Robinson as Cobretti's asshole colleague Detective Monte and Reni Santoni as gruff police boss Sergeant Tony Gonzales (both of whom were in Dirty Harry—coincidence? I think not). At the other end of the acting scale we have Brian Thompson as Night Slasher, who is truly awful, and Nielsen, who is as wooden as always, but who was cast for her looks and her willingness to sleep with the star (unsurprisingly, her mid-'80s career boost was as short-lived as her relationship with Sly).

adonis98-743-186503 Cutting a Pizza with a scissors is enough for me of why this movie is awesome first and most important Stallone is hilarious and amazing he totally owns the role, also Brigitte Nielsen is pretty good too and Brian Thompson in his 2nd and probably last good performance 2 years before this movie came out he looked like a skeleton now 2 years later the dude is ripped as hell. Let's also not forget the amazing soundtrack like 'Feel The Heat' and 'Angel Of The City' easily one of my favorite movies of Stallone next to Rambo, Rocky, Expendables and many many more. It's not meant to be taken seriously but it's one hell of an experience. Cobra is without a doubt a classic movie and it gets an A+
