G.I. Joe: Resolute

I grew up watching the Sunbow cartoon and was reluctant at first to give this a try as I felt it would be another failed attempt to revamp it. Then I decided to move on with time, and watched it via youtube.

Great show!!! The storyline, content, action, character development, animation, well above my expectations.

What I liked the most is that it was a group effort, and no "Joe" was the main attraction (what could have happened with Snake Eyes if Lama had 100% control over it). And it was not like that cheesy "Sigma Six" or the awful DIC Version.

In my opinion, this show has allowed the successful transition for GiJoe from the 80s to now. If the upcoming live action "Rise of Cobra" fails to make the mark, as some have predicted, I hope, in the future, they would follow a pattern similar to "GiJoe Resolute".

Please let there be an actual series.

This is what I've always wanted in a GI Joe animated (since they can't get the live action movies right).

This is what happens when GI Joe grows up. Gone are the lasers that never kill anyone. We have real weapons with real bullets and a high body count. It also gives a great origin story to the feud between Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow. Watch it to see it, it will be worth it.

Gone is the whiny Cobra Commander of old and in his place is a much more diabolic, cold Commander.

Some people have complained that there are only four voice actors. I'm not sure why. They are some of the greatest voice actors like Steve Blum and they do a superb job of voice acting.

This is in my regular rotation of what to watch each year if not multiple times a day.

HASBRO, make this a regular series. Please!

A GI JOE fan's dream come true; a mature rated, fast paced action film giving an interesting glimpse into what this type of JOE show might have been. The plot deals with terrorist organization Cobra attempting to take over the world with a superweapon created using satellites. And so it goes. Exciting action scenes and slick dialogue are undermined constantly by lousy voice acting (as the film only has four actors providing all of the voices) and a plot that is totally and utterly ridiculous.

Still, worth a look for JOE fans, others beware. Fans will have added fun identifying the many JOE characters from the assorted TV shows and comics.

I was reluctant at first to watch this show as I thought it was going to be purely Snake Eyes oriented while everybody else paled in comparison. After reading some of the comments (which were useful by the way), I decided to give it a try, and was very impressed as a fair bunch of the Joes had a part to play.

While some may have commented about the level of violence involved, do keep in mind that this is geared toward a mature audience. I used to watch GiJoe as a kid, and had no problem with nobody dying because again, it was for a younger audience. However, years have passed, and based on the show's targeted audience, I say it got my vote as the best revamp of GiJoe since the Sunbow version.

Battle scenes (A) - Animation (A) - Plot (A) - Length (B)

It is my hope that this becomes a regular series as it would be great. And if it does, then there should be more involvement from the remaining Joes.

My congratulations to the forces in play which made this possible.

"G.I. Joe", is one of the greatest franchises ever made. Next to, "Thundercats" and "Transformers". In 2009, Adult Swim did an anime eleven-part miniseries about G.I. Joe.

Like the T.V. series, It's pretty much where the Joe's fight Cobra and saving the world from evil.

"Resolute", is a great anime miniseries that has nice animation and some good fight scene's. I also like how they made Cobra Commander evil. In the show, whenever he tries to kill someone, his plans are foiled. In, "Resolute", he actually destroy's a city. It also has some nice voice acting from Steve Blum.

The only problem's I have is that each episode is about five to nine minutes long and there was not that much development for the other character's. I also wish it was a T.V. series instead of a miniseries.

"G.I. Joe: Resolute", is a nice anime take on the classic series and it's worth watching for fans of the series or someone looking for a good short show to watch.
