Super Freak
I've never seen the movie but I'm aware that it was blasted for the introduction of Cobra-La and the changes made to Cobra Commander's origins. Did that really "ruin" the movie? I mean is it really bad overall or just "cheesy 80's cartoon" bad? If I like the show can the movie be that different?
All I've seen are a couple of clips and that sweet opening at the Statue of Liberty.
Yes, the GI Joe movie was really bad. For one thing, they introduced the Cobra-La. The Cobra-La was so bad that Larry Hama refused to write them into the comic. The comic has the best GI Joe stories without question. Falcon was a lame addition to the group. He is a cool looking figure but the officer younger brother of Duke, who is an enlisted man. You can watch the entire GI Joe movie on youtube if you want. Some people love the cheesy aspect of it, but I never cared for it. It was so bad the movie was scheduled for theatrical release but was pushed to direct to video. Watch it if you must, but I warned you.
