G.I. JaneJun 03, 2010 This movie is very good for those times when a woman needs to feel like she's in control. Some of my more favorite actors play significant roles in the movie.
The packaging and shipment were very fast and arrived safely.

Fun to watch military drama, but about as realistic as Iron Eagle or Starship TroopersMay 07, 2010 Fast-tracker Jordan O'Neil (Moore) is an elite Naval Intel specialist and accomplished triathlete (despite her incongruous bra size). When Senator Lillian DeHaven (Bancroft) realizes possible political gain in the first female admittance into the Navy SEAL program, O'Neil's name comes up. It's just a political ploy, however, because nobody expects her to last a week in training that weeds out the strongest and fastest men, let alone women.
Upon arrival to training, O'Neil is an outcast, and reminded by condescending remarks from fellow classmates as well as instructors, specifically hard-nosed Command Master Chief John James Urgayle (Mortenson). CMC Urgayle is a harsh but fair instructor who does not take kindly to O'Neil's presence and the seeming celebrity of her career, believing female integration into front-line combat units potentially weaken a unit. During one moment when talking to her in the shower, he mentions that he got the Navy Cross for pulling a 250-pound man out of a burning tank. Therein lies his ambivalence, the problem as he sees it: O'Neil doesn't have the physical capabilities of the elite men in the program (cue foreshadowing).
While I was never a tabbed Special Forces soldier, I WAS in a Special Forces unit. The young look like Olympic athletes, able to tirelessly sprint like track stars and capable of lifting well beyond their bodyweight. The older guys were often built like gorillas, not as fast as before, but handy when you have a flat tire and no jack stand. With that said, there is absolutely no way a Navy Seal instructor would beat or faux-rape a trainee; they are highly skilled, highly trained professionals. The best of the best. Similarly, there is no way Demi Moore could hack it as a Navy Seal. Period. This is not up for debate. That does not, however, make this movie bad or unenjoyable. It's as unrealistic as Iron Eagle, which is not a slight...heck, I LIKED Iron Eagle!
I enjoy this movie quite a bit, and watch it just about every time it's on TV, but a grain of salt is needed for this Ridley Scott film (which are always superb) highlighting Demi Moore's stellar performance (and physical shape), Viggo Mortensen's psychotic portrayal, and Bancroft's version of a seasoned politician.

G. I. Jane DVD - not the whole packageJan 12, 2010 I just bought this DVD, as I am gradually replacing my laser disc collection. I was disappointed to find that it didn't have all of the material on my laser disc, which included director commentary from Ridley Scott and deleted scenes. Guess I'll keep the LD and hope Scott's work gets a more complete treatment later. I just looked at the Blu-Ray listing and it seems to be similarly short-changed.
I really like this movie. Though not a fan of Moore, I almost always enjoy Ridley Scott. I think anyone who expects "realism" from most war movies is destined to be disappointed.

SealsNov 13, 2009 I doubt if there are many women who could do the rigorous training in actuality. Apparently Demi Moore did some amazing physical drills and was in great shape for this movie.
The movie was fanatsy but well done, acceptable & enjoyable...only 4 stars for the fanasty part...
