DVD Reviews of G.I. Joe: The Movie
DVD Review: Superb!
Summary: 5 Stars
Superb GI Joe movie that represents the pinnacle of Joe storytelling (outside the original comics) that is the perfect blend of Sci Fi and earth based
military. Joe, Cobra, and beyond are represented and a good amount of screen time to bunches of characters makes for a perfect movie.
Writing like in this movie, and Transformers The Movie (the original one with Unicron and Galvatron, you know the good one) SIMPLY JUST DOES NOT HAPPEN IN THIS DAY AND AGE ANYMORE!!! The writing proved that you could do a huge epic story with SCOPE (something writers cannot do anymore) and still make a movie that made sense and most of all.... ENTERTAINED!!!
Simply one of the best movies of all time, with great voice talent (Burgess Meredith, anyone?) and an epic tale.... make this movie a must see.....
too bad it's NOT AVAILABLE ANY LONGER ON DVD!!! I got my copy when it was first released on DVD.... too bad the morons in charge can't see that THIS is the real Joe movie, and not that 2009 Rise of Cobra bullcrap.....
5 stars, Simply perfect.... my highest recommendation....
DVD Review: GI Joe the Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie changed GI Joe after it was shown. I think the cartoon series would have lasted much longer if the movie had not come out.DVD Review: Great Quality Buy
Summary: 5 Stars
This was a great find. The quality is outstanding. It was great to share this with my 2 boys.DVD Review: G.I. Joe: The Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Great movie! Story and action is awesome. Any fan of the old G.I. Joe cartoon will love this movie. It's good to have it on DVD, as now you can watch the unforgettable excitement of the goose bump-inducing opening sequence over and over without degrading the video quality. :-)
Starring the voices of Don Johnson ("Miami Vice") as Lt. Falcon, Burgess Meredith ("Rocky" films and "Batman" TV series) as Golobulus, and Robert Remus (WWF/WWE) as Sgt. Slaughter.
This DVD contains
* 25 "And knowing is half the battle" Public Service Announcements
* 2 "Theatrical" Movie trailers (although they look to be TV ads)
* 2 Vintage Commercials that feature the 70's 12" G.I. Joe dolls (remember this is a Rhino release)
* 5.1 Audio
NOTE: Although this film was originally meant to be a theatrical release it was released straight to video in the 80's so it is not in letterbox (if such a version even exists).
You get to see a version of the origins of both Cobra Commander and the Cobra Organization...and you get to see Cobra Commander's face.
This marks the last story of the Sunbow 80's cartoon and some of the events were used and concluded when DiC revised the show.
DVD Review: Blast form the past!
Summary: 5 Stars
Story streight up, good vrs bad! Love watching this GI Joe movie, takes me back to my youth. I remeber wathcing GI Joe when I was sixs.
Description of G.I. Joe: The Movie
A 40,000-year-old race of snake people resurface, and with help of Serpentor, Desto, Baroness and Dr. Mindbender, plan to eliminate all of mankind and rebuild Cobrala. Once rulers of Earth, the Snake people were driven underground by ice-age temperatures. While in exile, they developed a plant whose spores turn ordinary men into mindless, weak animals. The key to their plan is G.I. Joe's secret project--the Broadcast Energy Emitter. Only this device generates enough heat so that the spores can mature. Humankind's very existance depends on G.I. Joe, but are they strong enough, smart enough, cunning enough to fight a warrior race with 40,000 years of experience?Our favorite American hero has returned in this rerelease of the now cult-classic G.I. Joe movie from 1987. Once again G.I. Joe must protect the world from total obliteration. Cobra, the deadliest of foes and leader of an underground race of snake people, is proving to be a great threat to humankind. After spending many generations underground, he plans to take over the world again (with the help of his evil foes Pythona and Serpentor) by releasing deadly spores into the atmosphere. These spores can transform all life into the weakest of creatures, which means humans could potentially devolve into amoebas. However, in order to accomplish this, Cobra must acquire the Broadcast Energy Transmitter. (The BET activates the spores.) Luckily G.I. Joe is there to stop Cobra and his evil army. There are terrific fight scenes in which nobody gets hurt (like in all great A-Team episodes) and the cartoon style is true to the G.I. Joe character. All your favorite G.I. Joe characters are here, including Falcon, Bazooka, Alpine, Duke, Snowjob, and Roadblock. Starring voices also help lend a hand: Don Johnson, Burgess Meredith, and Sergeant Slaughter. Forever and always G.I. Joe will be "fighting for freedom wherever there's trouble, over land and sea and air!" --Samantha Allen Storey
