Review of G.I. Joe: The Movie (1987) by David I — 14 Mar 2008
G.I. JOE: THE MOVIE (1986).
Directed by Don Jurwich.
Starring the voices of Don Johnson, Corey Burton, Dan Gilvezan«Time and time again, Cobra has been on the threshhold of global domination, only to be thwarted by the Joes. Now the ruthless terrorist organization has a new ally, the Cobra-La race, led by Golobulus. Golobulus wants to steal the Joes's «Broadcast Energy Transmitter» in order to ripen space spores and mutate the people of Earth. When Duke is injured and the rest of the force immobilized, it's up to the new «rawhides» and Slaughter's Marauders to pick up the slack and save the world.» Thats the plot according to IMDB, I used it cause watching the film I felt it was more confusing than that, there is a lot more action than plot in the animated film. The last showdown last nearly thirty minutes of almost non-stop shooting and running.The movie begins with the very patriotic song that reminds me of the parody Trey Parker sang for Team America and its quite funny. For the time it was made G.I. Joe had some pretty cool camera moves for an animated film and some cool ideas in the storyline even if its all confusing. Some cheeesy lines are priceless. Fun if you remember playing with the toys.
