Movie Review

Hi, my name is Stephen Sommers and I'm the director of the drama called G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra. I've been making movies since 1989, and in that time my goal has been to win an Oscar for Best Director. Or win a Razzie. I have yet to win either because Hollywood just doesn't understand my sophisticated storytelling techniques or complex, layered characters. They just don't understand. But audiences love my movies.

That's how I came to make Van Helsing, one of the most celebrated films of this generation.
