G.I. Joe: The Movie (DVD, 2000)

All I can say is that after I paid the money for the g.i. joe movie, a month later I didn't have my product, I didn't have a response from the seller, and I didn't have my money back. After about 10 e-mails to the seller I finally got my money back. Needless to say the seller (gaidensaga) sucks, Don't ever buy from him. He's full of excuses and the worst communication ever. Oh and I can't review an item I never received!

HI WELL I KNOW THAT GI JOE IS A GREAT CARTOON I GREW UP WITH THE SERIES AND I LOVED THE MOVIE I HAVE THE VHS COPY AND IT IS GOOD BUT THE DVD COPY IS TEN TIMES BETTER.ALSO IT HAS THE THE ORIGINAL TV TRAILERS WHICH IS COOL AND 2 ORIGINAL TV COMMERCIALS FOR THE GI JOE DOLL BACK FROM 1960S AND 1970S THIS DVD IS FOR ANY GI JOE COLLECTOR.

I decided to buy this once I heard of it's existence since when I was a kid I watched GI Joe quite religiously, and never saw nor heard of the GI Joe Movie made in '87. I still like GI Joe and probably always will, but as an action based cartoon this is by far one of the better ones. The animation isn't half bad either, I remember the GI Joe tv show having less fluent movement. I even still have some of the figures such as Mercer and Nemesis Enforcer. I think I would have flipped my lid with excitement if I had watched this when I was younger, since I had basically every character in the movie, and from what I think and so far every kid I've known, having the action figures to a cartoon or movie intensifies how much one likes the cartoon or movie. I would recommend this to just about anyone, because it really is a good movie.

G.I. Joe is a cartoon originally made to help market Hasbro's action figure toyline. However, this movie presents a few odd facts: the Movie is actually the END OF THE SERIES, the bad guys vehicles were never made into toys and the only interesting new characters featured (Big Lob and Pythona) were never made either! It takes the origin of the bad guy organization (Cobra) and gives it an unnecessary sci-fi background. Even die-hard fans didn't like it, but it does have some saving graces. The intro set to the G.I. Joe theme is the best I've ever seen (it's a complete mini-story with fantastic animation). You could literally watch this alone and skip the the rest of the disk! The 2000 version of the DVD has some great special features including 25 Public Service Announcements where the "Knowing is Half the Battle" phrase comes from.
Pros: Great theme and extras.
Cons: not movie-quality
Overall: I think this should be watched by viewers already familiar with '80's G.I. Joe. Its still worth it if you can find it cheap.

Even It has been released years ago I have seen by first time in present days, of course ther's no animation or "computer effects" on this movie but being a G.i. Joe Fan I coul assure you it's GREAT!. As expected the movie is related to the cobra strikes against g.i. joe in order to rule the world, but now cobra has a new enemy wich also wants to rule the planet... the beggining if kind out of place but well I suppose they want to show the g.i. joe supremacy over cobra. As the movie starts is gets exciting, the initial battle is awesome. In the middle sometimes get boring and the end, even expected, the action came back. You will learn about the heroes personal troubles and even gets extra information about personal relationship, it's a good movie for G.i. Joe Fans.
I didn't rate it excellent due the begining act and because they only include some few vehicles when being able to show al the g.i. joe army.

THIS MOVIE REALLY BRINGS BACK CHILDHOOD MEMORIES, AND WHAT A GOOD WHOLESOME MOVIE. MY SON LOVES G.I. JOE MOVIES AND THIS ONE BY FAR IS HIS FAVORITE. GOOD STORY, GOOD ACTION, AND GOOD CHARACTERS

I loved it when I was a kid. This movie was rented on VHS at my house alot, along with the origional Transformers Movie. It has lost a little luster now that I have grown older, but my son will be well entertained with this movie that lacks a good plot or the star power (of the times) that helped make the Transformer movie a timeless classic.

If you like mindless action, unwarranted war cries, awesome one liners, and a plot that makes you second guess reality then this is the movie for you. Honestly, if you don't fall in love with it then there is something wrong with you.

The movie itself was good, especially if you remember watching the G.I. Joe television series.

Now, the DVD quality stinks. It basically looks like a new video tape. Many times the video jumped and such.

I HAD THE MOVIE ON VIDEO TAPE AND THE TAPE WORE OUT. I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS MOVIE ON DVD FOR YEARS AND HAVE NO LUCK IN FINDING IT, UNTIL I FOUND IT ON EBAY.
IT IS UNUSUAL THAT THE G.I. JOE TEAM IS UP AGAINST BIZARRE ENEMIES, THE ORIGIN OF SERPENTOR'S CREATION AND THE ORIGIN OF COBRA AND COBRA COMMANDER.
THIS IS THE STORY OF THE CITIZENS OF COBRALA WANTED TO TURN THE HUMAN RACE INTO MINDLESS BEAST WITH THEIR MUTATING SPORES, IN ORDER TO RECLAIM THE EARTH.

Haven't seen this movie since I was a kid. It brought back many fond memories. Thank you for the quick turnaround time in getting it to me.

It must be said that "GI Joe: The Movie" was nothing less a serious disappointment for GI Joe fans in the 80's. I can only recommend this movie if you are a Joe fan and are determined to see the entire GI Joe saga.

A bit of history: "GI Joe: A Real American Hero" was the 80's cartoon series commissioned by Hasbro to sell the GI Joe toy line. The first season was perhaps 50-some episodes detailing how GI Joe thwarted the schemes of Cobra, "an evil terrorist organization determined to rule the world." Cobra was led by the villainous Cobra Commander, sort of a cross between Dr. Evil and Yosemite Sam. The second season was only 25-some episodes, and began when the Cobra leaders deposed Cobra Commander with Serpentor, a genetically-bred leader who proved to be even more inept than his predecessor. Good or bad, every episode was packed with action, vivid characters, and a lot of cool hardware. Generally the episodes were really quite good! We kids of the 80's loved it.

Rather than produce a third season, Hasbro elected to make "GI Joe: The Movie." Clearly there was also a decision to take the GI Joe story in a very different direction. The movie opens with the discovery of Cobra-La, an ancient civilization hidden away in the Himalayas. Cobra-La's technology is all organically-based, meaning they use giant insects instead of airplanes and weird plants instead of buildings. Very bizarre.

We discover that Cobra Commander was actually born as a member of this civilization and was sent out into the world to raise an army (Cobra) and seek revenge on all of humanity on behalf of Cobra-La. Why the ruler of Cobra-La is so irate at the rest of the world is never really explained, but never mind.

With this one plot development, GI Joe went from being an action-adventure show with science-fiction elements to becoming, well, just wacky and completely indigestible. GI Joe fans were asked to swallow a string of ridiculous plot points including (a) Cobra-La's scheme to mutate all of humanity into animals, (b) the GI Joe team launching into battle against giant bugs and worms, (c) the entire veteran GI Joe team tied up by intelligent vines, (d) Sgt. Slaughter and five others singlehandedly blowing up Cobra's headquarters without the benefit of weapons, (e) and a lot worse.

Perhaps the biggest disappointment in the film was the elimination of one of the series' most popular characters. I won't say who if you are still interested in seeing the flick for yourself. But be warned: if you're a fan of series' characters, watch this movie at your own risk.

So you might be asking yourself: if I saw this movie back in the 80s and hated it then, why did I buy a copy on eBay? The movie does have one redeeming feature - the opening sequence depicts a Cobra attack on the Statue of Liberty. GI Joe shows up in the nick of time and an AMAZING battle sequence follows while an expanded version of the GI Joe theme song plays on the soundtrack. The animation, action, and music of the movie's first five minutes are all top-notch, great, great stuff.

For all of those G.I. Joe's fans out there, this is the real deal. Best G.I.Joe movie ever made, for family and kids super entertaining.
Love the movie and the price even better. Must have in your collection.

Smooth transaction. Received my product in a timely manner. Recommend anytime no concerns or disappointment. Love the movie remember it as a child.

I bought G.I. Joe: The Movie (DVD, 2000)three weeks ago and was immediately impressed with the number of features available on this movie. Overall, I'd recommend the movie if you're on a budget.

Great seller, delivery was fast, product was as advertised.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I loved this movie as a child and I still love this movie some 20 years later...couldnt be happier to have it on DVD since this is out of production.

I bought this to replace a copy that I had lost, and it is an excellent classic from the 80's that I grew up with. This is a good starter movie for the newer and younger generation for a back story on the new and the old G.I. Joes.

It's freaking GI Joe!! I remember this movie when I was a kid. Brings back good times memories. Do not hesitate to get this movie, if you watched it as a kid. Pass on the good times with your family.

It was an awesome movie!!! I got it pretty quickly and I was very satisfied!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Making a G.I. Joe movie was a must at the time this movie was released. The story line isn't bad (a little far fetched), and overall very watchable. In my opinion the major deterant is the introduction of Cobrala. Where did this come from? G.I. Joe must now face mutated non-human species as foes? As this concept is pretty out of the ordinary for most Joe themes, this is a movie and most tv themed movies do go out of the norm when converted to the big screen. All-in-all, a must have for most Joe fans.

I bought the movie because I remember watching it as a child.
I bought "Transformers The Movie" for the same reason.

The movie is GREAT!!! I love it!!!

The DVD I purchased from them was in fantastic shape! I would definitely recommend them if you are ever looking for quality dvd's. Thank you for everything guys!!

ok like every cartoon from the 80's it was amazing as a kid!!! but as an adult i gotta say that i found it kinda corny.. but i loved every minute of watching it again!
