Hasbro's perennially popular soldier boy G.I. Joe returns in a new CGI adventure that packs enough adventure to please longtime fans of the '80s animated series (on which this feature is based) and newcomers to the Joe universe. In Valor vs. Venom, the villainous Cobra Commander organizes worldwide abductions in order to fuel Cobra's latest global domination plot--an army of super-soldiers created from genetically altered humans and animals. When the Joe team's leader, General Hawk, is kidnapped, his second-in-command, Duke, rallies the troops to save their leader and stop Cobra's nefarious scheme. Despite the outlandish plot (even by G.I. Joe standards), Valor vs. Venom delivers what Joe's audience wants: lots of combat using a variety of high-tech weapons and gear and carried out by a cast of valiant heroes and hissable villains. The CGI animation, while a bit stiff, allows the filmmakers to pitch Joe's adventures on a grander scale, and the film's epic scope includes battles on every point on the globe (though concerned parents should know that the violence is very tame). --Paul Gaita

let go of the past folks.......2007-03-26

People should be happy that this movie was made instead of only comparing it to the 80's series. I personally love this movie and so does my five year old son. Even my wife likes it. There will never be another Joe series, movie, etc. that is better than the old toons. The ninja scenes are a highlight and the music is even semi-cool. Check it out or try it again.

didn't make sense..........2006-08-01

i don't know i watched this but why didn't it make sense??? i mean they were all over the place duke and commander fighting in a building then it switched to storm shadow and snake eyes fighting in a jungle what?!?! well other than a few problems it was ok.

Not that bad.......2006-01-14

I bought this for my son who is five, he loves the movie and watches it daily while playing with his G.I. Joe figures. If your expecting to see something that resembles the original cartoon series then you will be disapointed, but overall it really isn't that bad. It has a positive message for kids, eventhough it does show some mild violence later on in the movie. For an adult it's really boring but it keeps my child interested and that's pretty difficult to do with a young child!

wack.......2005-09-20

the onyl reason i got this was because i lvoe gi joe and wanted to see how the new re makes were as far as writers voices and looks as cgi characters but unfortunatly the story sucked and was boring , the bad guys were horrible as far as depth to character the movie was a ploy toget chumps like me to buy that reminice on the good old gi joe, the toys look awesome so i figured it would be nice, but instead i wanted to fall asleep, or shoot myself, shame on whoever was in charge of letting this new re cration turn out so horriblee and borderline homo

I missed the original series.......2005-09-20

This is an all new G.I. Joe adventure for an all new generation, so I shouldn't except the same things. With that said, I still somewhat enjoyed this, but the use of CG instead of hand drawn animation is what really made me mad. It's not the worst CG I've seen, it was actually pretty good for a direct to DVD release, but it just seem too different from the old cartoon and comics to have it feel like the same series. Despite these problems, at a mere 77 minutes, I was able to sit and enjoy it as a free rental as the story itself was still classic Joe. If you want to rent G.I. Joe rent the original series, if you want something new get this one.
