(More customer reviews)Adult fans of "G.I. Joe" toys, cartoons and comics books from the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s won't find much to like about the mega-popular brand's latest incarnation, but its new fans will appreciate it.
Compared to the classic 1980s Joe cartoons, there are few funny moments, very little characterization and no complexity among the villains. The classic arguments between the mercenary Destro and the megalomaniacial Cobra Commander are gone. A new part-robotic Cobra minion seems a likely competitor with Cobra Commander, proving that bad guys always fight among themselves, but his plot never gets going. Characters are just pawns for the video game story, which is satisfying on a visual level, but will be boring to anyone looking for much of a plot or even some cartoonish jibes among such formerly cranky and opinionated troops as Tunnel Rat, Heavy Duty, Scarlett and Snake Eyes.
Boys who like the admittedly cool toys will dig watching the figures and toys at work. But only the most G.I. Joe-crazed of nostalgia fans will find these new Joes worthy of a watch. Gone is the potentially timely idea of a U.S. special-forces unit of well-trained but outmatched experts and soldiers fighting against an increasingly vicious, backstabbing, egotistical enemy terrorist force. 9/11 has done away with terrorists as a bad guy for kids, and now it's all anime-style battles and superhero costumes.
