Channing Tatum and Marlon Wayans need to do us a favor and kill themselves
So the 1 disc dvd has no features except a commentary and the 2 disc has 2 featurettes and a useless pos digital copy. As with Ice Age 3 I'll be getting the one disc. I've always been a 2 disc SE person but these are a waste of $7-8 more.
Well I thought it was a basic popcorn flick - but I do dig chicks in tight leather 
Pretty lame extras...

If you did not like this film you are a troll? How silly of you. Didn't care to see Terminator Salvation. Wolverine was horrible. Out of all these films Transformers 2 was the most entertaining. This film doesn't even pass as a popcorn film.

Gotta admit, that buttshot on the front of the one disc cover makes me tingly down there.
It was a decent popcorn movie. Nothing wrong with that. Good rental.

Your post made me go check out Amazon...maybe it is a slip-cover. And perhaps the Blu-ray will have the same thing? That'd be awesome.

I went in with ridiculously low expectations but was hugely surprised. This movie doesn't pretend to be somethings it's not - it knows it's an over-the-top, mindless stupid action movie and I loved it. It didn't try to be serious, realistic or dark like many of todays for example, comic book movies and it worked. The action was non-stop, damn it was fun. Definite must buy for me!

So can't wait to buy the Blu-ray on day one! Sienna Miller is now my future ex-wife after seeing her as the Baroness!!
lee Byung hun is one of my favorite actors, so this will be a purchase for me for sure!
Its not the best movie of 2009, but I still liked it better than that piece of c**p Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.
Well thats just great, the bluray cover gets rid of one hot lady, and is covering the cleavage of another. Prefer the 1 disc art but will go for Blu.
Sorry if this post seems too sexist to our female readers.

It's a given that it's a really stupid movie. BUT.....it's certainly a much better movie than other pure horse c**p that came out this summer....i.e Hangover, Ice Age 3, Harry Potter, Night in Museum 2.
What GI Joe had that those films didn't: entertainment value.

Damn, what is up with all the hate? It was by no means intelligent entertainment, but I thought it was fun.
Dang. I prefer the single disc art yet again...but the Blu art is pretty cool too.
"C.G.I. Joe" yeah very original. Like I haven't already heard that one a million times. Great movie by the way you bunch of bots. Not saying all you who hate it are. But I bet that 50% of you who hated it would have like it had it got better critical success.
Sienna Miller is a white girl w/ a black girl's booty. I'm lovin it. Oh, and I'm a white guy.

Funniest movie of the year, worth renting...you'll laugh your ass off!

I think because the original version looked nothing like her hair did in the movie overall, not that i'm paying attention to the hair on that picture lol.

Stupid, stupid movie. But oh-so-much fun. Cool 2-disc art.

I'm not interested in this "C.G.I. Joe" movie .... pass
I really didn't like the movie at all. The Special Effects were really bad and the story was pretty bad. Why make the Baroness good? Why explain how Cobra Commander came to be? The only thing worth it was the Paris sequence.
I had the toys when I was young, but I never saw the cartoons. I just managed to catch the animated movie before I saw this. I won't be picking it up, but I'd still give the sequel a chance. Unless of course, the sequel goes AWOL, like the next Superman movie!

1/3 of the movie worked the other 2/3rds didn't.
I'm usually all for mindless action; but this had absolutely no entertainment value for me. Sommers is known for less than authentic effects in his movies, but these were by far the cheapest looking SFX of the year (close with Wolverine in that department). GI Joe as a global peace keeping force totally shot to hell what GI Joe was about. Sorry if glorification of a specialized U.S. fighting force is too much for the world to handle, should have renamed this something else if they wanted to cut the balls off.
I agree
I totally agree. It was the rich man's Ultraviolet. Ultraviolet had bad FX but was incredibly pleasurable with great action and great eye candy thanx to mrs. Jovovich. Will buy or either ask for the blu for Christmas.
Another bomb of 2009. Overloaded with fanfare like Origins, Transformers 2, and Drag Me to Hell, mediocre scenes and action sequences fell short. Definitely a pass.
This movie was good! It was a mindless action flick finally done RIGHT!
lame sounding extras
Well, it wasn't perfect, but I still liked it a lot more than Transformers: ROTF, and I'm still getting that so......
This movie sucked.
Oh God, STAY AWAY! This film was painfully, horrendously, dull and terrible. I knew that walking in, hoping the experience of watching it with others would save it, but no. Had no fun or a "badass time at the theaters" with it, but I wish I did.
Occasionally has some fun moments but for the most part this was just painful.
Can't complain about Sienna Miller in leather though.

What no exclusive Special Features for the BD. That is weird was hoping for a cool PiP feature or something like that
Meh.
This movie was very 50/50 for me. I wasn't expecting a true-to-the-original cartoon and/or comics, but this left a lot to be wanting.
Spoiler I truly hated the Snake-Eyes/Storm Shadow origin/dynamic. Why even mention that Snake-Eyes isn't mute, but only took a vow of silence? IMO it would have been better left unexplained that he's INCAPABLE of speech due to injury, or even have a flashback where Storm Shadow cut his throat on his way out after killing their master. I know it seems trivial, but it sets the rest of Snake-Eyes' story to fail mode. I'm not expecting this kind of realism, but what branch of the armed forces accepts someone who CHOOSES not to speak? Ugh.
The nanomachines bit was topical and relevant, but I was surprised they didn't touch on the real-life ABSOLUTE HORROR that is the Gray Goo scenario. And if I were Destro, I'd be pretty perturbed if someone rebuilt my face into metal as opposed to flesh, although it was a very predictable scenario. And screwing with or even revealing the "Commander"'s origins I felt was a bad move.
In any case, I'd watch a sequel, as long as they brought on some old faves like Shipwreck, Flint, Lady Jaye, etc.

Insultingly bad film. Even Snake Eyes wasn't cool. What a waste of money, space, brain cells, pixels and celluloid. My childhood is destroyed forever.
Really enjoyed this one. Brainless maybe, but more than exceeded my very low expectations (based on the reviews it looked as if it was gonna be pure torture). Concerning the SRP's, there seems to be a problem. Amazon has the SRP's at $29.98/$34.98/$39.99 for the 1-disc DVD, 2-disc DVD and Blu-ray respectively. Can you please check those Tom?
I own both of the 'Mummy' flicks (3 doesn't exist in my world) and 'Van Helsing' on Blu, so I may add this blindly to my collection because I enjoy Sommers' work.
I have a feeling the cover art will be pretty cool...should they decide to use maybe the soundtrack cover or one of the posters, that is.

Worst Movie Ever!!!
This movie is the biggest piece of s**te. I saw this for free & I still want the time I wasted back.
The acting is atrocious. Dennis Quaid was more alive in "Jaws 3-D".
Marlon Wayans sucks. Period. I never hated a performance so much.

LOVED this movie, so glad it's coming out so quickly! What's weird is that it's coming out BEFORE Star Trek, Angels & Demons, Up, Harry Potter, etc...movies that came out WAY before this in theaters. But whatever, this is great news, only a month wait now!
Hands down the worst movie of the year.
Great movie? Oh lord. Let me not get into it.
And 'Maximus' I agree 110%, the CGI/Special Effects were not terrible but horrendous. They feel the need to contradict themselves with a featurette called: "The Amazing Visual FX and Design of G.I. JOE". LMAO
No matter how bad Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen was, it was an instant masterpiece compared to G.I Joe

this movie was so ridiculously over the top, the special effects were terrible, and it was completely unbelievable, but damnit it was a badass good time at the movies.
Was this suppose to be parody?
The 2009 "Street Fighter"

I'll pass. Looks like c**p. Actually, it may not be so bad, except it's called G.I. Joe, which makes me not want to see it. If it weren't a G.I. Joe movie I may have watched it. Sounds stupid, I know, but I can't get over it being G.I. Joe. It's not really my kind of movie anyway.
Can't wait. This was the movie I thought would be the worse this summer, but it ended up being one of the most fun and entertaining
Oh yeah, it's a an early release : November 3rd !
Can't wait
Can't wait
Awesome movie!
Must buy.
Must buy.
Great! Just Great! Transformers at the end of october, GI Joe now on the 3rd of november, and STAR TREK on the 17 of Novembr. And to top it off, HARRY POTTER the 8th of December. And that's thankfully without the pleasures/pain of LOTR (the pleasures/pain depending on point of view...hehehe pleasure to your eyes, pain to your wallet)
Great movie but pass.
