Editorial Reviews

G.I. Joe is a highly trained, classified special operations unit composed of men and women from around the globe. Officially, these warriors don't even exist. Few know the truth – that G.I. Joe fights a secret war, as the first and last line of defense against forces that seek to plunge our world into chaos. Wherever there's trouble, G.I. Joe is there. In G.I. Joe: Resolute, the raging battle between G.I. Joe and Cobra Commander has never been more intense. Every life is at stake... and even the good guys can die. All games end today…Now you know... and knowing is half the battle.

5.0 out of 5 stars Adult Animation Awesomeness! October 13, 2009
G.I. Joe: Resolute first aired in 7-minute installments on Cartoon Network's [adult swim] in the summer of 2009. For adult fans of the 1980s cartoon series this is as close to perfection as an animated Joe feature can get. The animation style has a much more sleek and anime feel to it, but these are still the same characters and it's set in the same "universe" as the 1980s cartoon. "Resolute" has all the classic characters (Baroness, Destro, Cobra Commander, Duke, Snake Eyes, Stormshadow, Scarlett, etc.) from the '80s cartoon, but it treats them with a PG-13 rather than a "Saturday Morning" sensibility. There are bullets and blood and death.

The plot centers on another attempt by Cobra Commander to overtake the world and the Joes rallying to stop him. The highpoint of the film for me included the ultimate battle between Snake Eyes and Stormshadow I always dreamed of as a kid. If the 2009 feature film had half of the energy and emotion as this one fight alone it would've been an infintely more enjoyable film. Bottomline is if you were a 1980s Joe fan and found the live-action film lacking then you will be pleasantly shocked and awed by this outstanding animated feature.

5.0 out of 5 stars NOW This is G.I. Joe November 2, 2009
This cartoon captures the true spirit of G.I. Joe. A group of elite specially trained troopers working together to eliminate an evil organization who are determined to rule the world. It's true to the characters from both comics and the cartoon with the exception of Storm Shadow's true intentions in his background. Cobra is proven to be more of a threat then ever. Forget the movie this is the Joe fans have been looking for. Oh and yeah no acceleration suits!

5.0 out of 5 stars BETTER THAN THE LIVE ACTION FILM!!! July 21, 2010
I've harbored a love affair for the cartoon since it first burst onto TV screens across the good ole US of A so many years ago and was nothing short of supremely impressed by this DVD.

If you're a comic fan, you're familiar with the name Warren Ellis. He is a British comic writer who is best known for his books PLANETARY, THE AUTHORITY and TRANSMETROPOLITAN. He's currently writing ASTONISHING X-MEN for Marvel Comics. He also has a mini-series called RED that has been adapted for the big screen & will be coming out later this year with Bruce Willis leading an all star cast. For the most part, the man can write (although sometimes I question his sanity ala DOKTOR SLEEPLESS & his first novel CROOKED LITTLE VEIN) and boy does he deliver in this adult take on America's Elite Fighting Force.

Originally released via HASBRO's website and, later on, Cartoon Network, the series begins with two surprising deaths which alerts viewers to the fact that this isn't your 80s GI JOE. The characterizations are right on the money. The plot is old school joe but that story is elevated by the subplot involving Storm Shadow & Snake Eyes. The action is intense and story ends as great as it starts. The writing, coupled with the beautifully fluid japanese animation, makes this a must have for any GI JOE fan.

This is the live action movie the GI JOE fans would have loved -- GUARANTEED!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best G.I.Joe in over 20 Years, but NOT all Ages July 9, 2010
This is the best G.I.Joe movie/show/video since the original tv series ended in the 80s. This show is a bit more adult. People do die, so it's not for kids of all ages. I like the representation of the characters. Some things about them are changed, but there is still the basic feel of each character that is right on. The voice talents do an excellent job bringing these characters to life. Resolute bridges some of the gaps between the comic series and the original cartoon, especially covering the Snake Eyes-Scarlett-Duke-Scarlett issue. There is a Snake Eyes-Storm Shadow fight that alone is worth the cost of the video. I wish they would continue with more Resolute stories, even if they come straight to video.

This is G.I. Joe like you've never seen before. *Major* characters are killed off and the destruction of the U.S.S. Flagg all in the first 2 minutes! Say what?!?! That's right, there are real casualties and deaths of major characters occur throughout. Cobras get wasted like cannon fodder. No safe parachute ejections here! This is old-school G.I. Joe reborn with 21st century tech for the Adult-Swim crowd. For everyone who grew up with G.I. Joe in the 80's and collected the Hasbro action figures, read the outstanding Larry Hama written Marvel comic books, and watched the original Sunbow animated G.I. Joe A Real American Hero: Complete Collectors Set (The Complete Series) everyday after school, Resolute is a love-letter for the fans.

The animation is top notch. The characterizations are respectful to the 80's mythology even though some liberties are taken with some of the origins like Snake-Eyes they don't take away at all from the enjoyment of the presentation. Destro James McCullen is at last given his proper Scottish accent even though at times he does sound a bit like Sean Connery. Cobra Commander has been given a makeover with a sleek new battle helmet and Cobra Troopers are equipped with realistic SDU tech ops gear.

My biggest complaint is that Resolute is way too short! Clocking in at only 58 minutes edited together from the original 7 minute Adult-Swim episodes into one seamless full-length story.

3.0 out of 5 stars Well drawn; not very well written; partially faithful; lacked oomph.
Overall, Resolute is essentially a triple-length G.I. Joe episode with death and blood. It was interesting but not as engaging as it should have been. Read more
