G.I. Joe: The Movie

DVD Review
G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero Season 1.1
Cast: Duke, Scarlett, Cobra Commander, Flint, Destro, Zartan, Snake Eyes
Running Time: 22 episodes (22 minutes each)
Due out: July 21, 2009
Plot: G. I. Joe is the codename for America’s daring, highly trained, special mission force. Its purpose: To defend human freedom against Cobra, a ruthless, terrorist organization determined to rule the world. Yes, that’s straight from the theme song, but that pretty much sums it up, right? Maybe this will help more … Duke & Flint = good guys. Cobra Commander & Destro = bad guys.
Who’s It For? Kids, kids kids … and then after that, guys who grew up loving the cartoons and toys.
Episodes: There are four DVDs in the mix and each are separated by a continuous story, except for the final disc. It’s great to have the mini-series, but the one thing they do a terrible job of is character development.

The spots feature quotes from America’s prima-fanboy - Harry Knowles of Ain’t It Cool News from his recent review of the film, which is pretty cool stuff. Even cooler is that I was also given a chance to see the film this past weekend, so take a look at my review here.

"G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra" is the big-ticket item this week, but it is far from your only option. The two other wide releases are joined by a trio of attention-worthy limited openings. In short, there's a lot of good stuff on tap for this weekend. So start planning for multiple trips to the theater now.
First up of course is "Joe." I saw it on Saturday. Shhhhh! You know how there's been some negative buzz following it around, along with a dash of controversy? Forget the hype, forget the controversy. Sommers deserved the gig, and he did a great job. The trailers and clips have totally undersold this movie. "Joe" fans of old: buy your tickets now. Remember-- knowing is half the battle.
For those who prefer feeling good to getting pumped, there's always "Julie & Julia." Writer/director Nora Ephron based the film on not one, but
