I have to admit, I'm rather disappointed with G.I. Joe: Resolute. For those of you who don't know, Resolute is a "Mature" take on the G.I. Joe franchise that was done as a series of webisodes that, when put together, form a one hour movie. By mature, they mean less sci-fi stuff, no lasers, and any one can be killed, giving everyone the same chances they had in the comics.

So of course none of the Joes die. Roadblock and Gun-Ho almost die at the end of one episode, but the next one with them in shows them escaping the explosion at the last second. Duke almost dies, but his gunshot wound is none fatal and doesn't slow him down a couple of hours later. In fact the only ones that die are all the Cobra guys except Destro, Barroness, and Cobra Commander! Everyone else dies! Hell, they killed off Major Bludd before the show even started!

The fact that the story jumps around so much doesn't help any either, it makes it harder to follow, and hopefully the combined version will be easier to follow the story. as it is, it is rather hard when they are switching scorelines every five minutes.

What is there for the story isn't that impressive either. Warren Ellis has done better, and I'm hoping that this isn't a sign of things to come for the Castlevania movie (Which is direct to DVD and animated, not in theaters and live action like most fans hoped :( )

And finally I've seen a lot of people praising the animation, which is "better then Sigma Six, which sucked"What shows are these idiots watching. the animation in Sigma Six was good, and this isn't that much better. Maybe a bit more detailed and darker, but not that much better. If I remember right, I read that it was even done by the same studio that did Sigma Six, although I could be wrong.

Over all, disappointed, but at least it gave us some new toys to play with :) Hopefully the movie is better.
