Description

Rounding out this trio of Hasbro toy-based films put out by Marvel/Sunbow in the mid-1980s, "GI Joe: The Movie" has the dishonorable distinction of being funneled straight to video and subsequently syndicated on television due to the lack of success for the "Transformers" and "My Little Pony" movies at the box office the year before.  But does that mean it's a bad film?  Well, some might argue yes, others hell no, and many more fall under the category of loving it because it embraces its flaws and plays them up to maximum entertainment.  Don Johnson and Burgess Meredith provide voices for this completely off-the-hook action-adventure-science fiction extravaganza that serves as a precursor to the dumb-but-fun action blockbusters people either love or love to hate from the 1990s.
