To be honest I wasn't a big GI Joe fan until I marathoned this whole series. Well, I didn't marathon it but Kisscartoon clustered up all of the episodes in a single movie which I saw.The action sequences were good even though this would be too violent and mature for children, in fact, there is the use of the words "Dammit" and "Crap" used so it would be aimed at teenagers. There is also blood used in the movie. The voice acting was really good. This movie did focus a little bit on Duke and Scarlet's relationship which is relevant. But as a downside, the animation is too bright.

"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.

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.

You have it all wrong"If the characters are going to be that "foreign" to how everyone remembers them, then they should just write new characters so that anyone who comes into the series has "low" expectations going in."I take it you haven't kept up with Gi Joe at all. Lady Jay is dead hence why she wasn't in the new show. People have changed war has changed them.Killing off well known characters under the guise of "advancing the plot"? This was done to do away with the childish realism of everyone jumping out of a plane with a parachute or always missing the bullet. No one is safe from death.Snake eye surviving a bullet that took his vocal cords from an extreme range sniper, yet a similar sniper shot, from the same sniper at the same time kills his ninja master?Snake-eyes was running, the Hard Master was standing still.Gratuitous violence, from the Joes? Joe's luring cobra soldiers out in the open and gunning them down from behind without saying a word or giving them the chance to surrender?Obvioulsly you never been in battle or war. "Have a plan to kill everyone you meet." nu-ff said.Personally this is the best revision of GI Joe to date, hands down. Only thing wrong with it was the time factor. Way too short for my taste with all that happened. Hasbro bring on more!!!
