G.I. Joe: The Movie

First, G.I.Joe, I never really pay attention to the show, Because I'm a huge Transformers Fan.

However I figure I would give G.I. Joe The Movie a chance. To me, when it comes to movies and TV show, I always believe in the saying "Don't Judge People Until You Give Them A Chance" Well, I have some good and bad things to say about G.I.Joe: The Movie First, The Good: The Voice is awesome!, I'm Surprise that they got Actors like Don Johnson And WWF superstar,Hall Of Famer Sgt. Slaughter to star in this movie. The animation is Phenomenal, there's rarely a mistake in G.I.Joe The Movie. The Story is well-written, The writers wrote a very new story for G.I. Joe fans Now, for the bad: My main complain about the movie is that the music was just awful!, Only good song in G.I. Joe The Movie was the opening theme song, The Music came from The Transformers Series. I just love the music in Transformers The Movie, because it was new and all of the music in the movie match every scene.

Also, There were a few scenes that make no sense what so ever.

However, I didn't dislike G.I.Joe The Movie, But giving the chance between Transformers: The Movie and G.I.Joe: The Movie, I would watch Transformers: The Movie.

All in all, I thought that G.I. Joe: The Movie was a Okay movie, It's a movie for G.I.Joe fans.

I give G.I. Joe: The Movie 7 Out Of 10 YO JOE!!!!!

G.I. Joe: The Movie is okay, but it's not as good as it should of been. There is an introduction to some new characters, which takes away from the other characters; leaving them just as undeveloped as usual. There barely showed the great Snake Eyes!! The best thing about G.I. Joe is the origin of Cobra Commander and why he's trying to take over the world. That is pretty cool, but not enough to make this movie great. If they would of took it easy on the new guys and focus more on the old, who we still don't know, this movie would of been better. But 'ol well, it's G.I. Joe, so it's a must see.

Wow this movie brought me back to my childhood, when it was this and Transformers were the go to shows for kids my age. As cheesy as it is watching this as an adult hit differently in the sense as childish as this seemed it was more adult than content you get today.

Mostly because there is a lot of violence and one of the characters actually gets hurt. Not something you typically see in GI Joe the show.

Overall the graphics are a bit dated but the story is pretty engaging, the dialogue is cheesy in the sense it felt like this was made for 10year olds... which it was.

I would recommend this to anyone with kids as an adult this would be like watching an older Rambo movie but really tamed down. Enjoyable for all ages in my opinion.

If you loved the 1980s TV show you will love this movie. G.I. Joe the movie is not mearly as good as the TV show, but rather is much much better. This movie comprises of the same guys we love (or love to hate), such as Duke, Sgt. Slaughter, Cobra Commander, Serpentor etc etc. However, it is the new characters that really bring life and intrigue into this movie (ie. jinx, lt. falcon, nemesis enforcer, golobulus etc etc).

My favorite scene of this movie was the opening scene where pythona infiltrates the inpenetrable terradrome. I also loved the slaughterhouse training, and the many changes that occur within Cobra Commander. Then again, as a child I watched this movie all the time so I may be just a tad bit biased.

My review was written in December 1988 after watching the feature on Celebrity video cassette.

"G. I. Joe" takes the familiar animated and toy characters comfortably into an action-packed animated film, released direct-to-video in 1987.

Title refers not to an individual but is a codename for a U. S. anti-terrorist team, pitted against the monstrous villains known collectively as Cobra, headed by Serpentor (voiced by Dick Gautier),k Golobulus (Burgess Meredith) and Pythona (Jennifer Darling's vocal) in battle to obtain the experimental Broadcast Energy Transmitter.

Don Johnson's immediately recognizable voice works well in the role of womanizer Lt. Falcon, while pro wrestler Sgt. Slaughter brings his gruff voice and animated wrestling moves to play his own tough self, whipping the heroes into combat readiness.

Animation by Toei of Japan is effective with minor fantasy elements well-integrated into what basically is a military actioner.
