Gi joe Discussion (spoilers)

[toys2cool]

What a POS. It's sad that Hollywood can't get a simple formula right. Here are some random problems I had:
1. Duke is a homeboy portrayed by a terrible actor
2. Snake Eyes looks like a Power Ranger (especially with the white arctic gear)
3. Storm Shadow has a terribly designed costume and a Jonas Brothers haircut. I never saw a ninja with popped collars. His Saturday Night Fever white suit was a joke as well. The actor was not the right choice. I didn't find him threatening.
4.Terrible CGI. It looked like a video game.
5.Changing stories/origins/names of characters.
6.Cobra Commander is really Darth Vader. Pathetic design of the character.
7. Sigma 6 Spy Kids power suits. Nuff said.
8.The other corny suits they wore.
9.The plot.
10.Neo Vipers looked ridiculous.
11.Destro is 150 lbs with tin foil around his head.
12.Lackluster Snake Eyes vs. Storm Shadow battle.
13.The Gungan like underwater world was a joke.
14.Dr. Mindbender is an ex hippie scientist. He acted like his brain was fried after following the Dead around for so many years.
That's all I could think of now. Theres more though!

wow all i can say is that I enjoyed it and I will watch part 2

she'll definitely turn back , Man i hope Shipwreck's in the next film

[Riffster]

all they gotta do is turn the nanites on again and boom she's the baroness, and they can have the Pres. turn them on whitsling while he does it

I saw it too , and I enjoyed it. Cobra Commander still bugs me though. I have to admit that as soon as I put aside fanboy attitude , and what I know of G.I.Joe, I enjoyed even more. I took an Earth-1 , Earth -2 Approach. I did notice one cobra logo in the film and that was on sub Cobra Commander , and Destro were getting away in. So that was nice. I assume that Baroness will turn again ? I agree there is no way Mr. Tommy Arashikage is dead.

I didn't like the Scarlet/ Ripcord "romance" because it is such a cliche. The girl starts off not liking the guy but he wears her down with his "charm" and
eventually she sees him in a new light. Yaaaaaawwwwwwwwnnnnnnnnnnnn.

Considering the way M.A.R.S. and Cobra were depicted in the film there is probably genetic material somewhere to make a clone of Storm Shadow.

I also wasn't thrilled by The Baroness turning good.

I did like the movie despite these complaints.

[toys2cool]

good pick on Scarlett,her fight with the barnoness was great, but yeah I tuned out the whole her and Ripcord. the silent issue for Gi joe where Snake eyes goes and resues her was great, that's who she should be with

anybody but that guy

[BlackKnight]

yeah the Storm Shadow thing kind of bugged me, but I doubt he's dead.

There is No Way He is Dead.

[toys2cool]

I tell ya, I could watch a film just based on Snake eyes and Storm Shadow and their past

[toys2cool]

yeah the Storm Shadow thing kind of bugged me, but I doubt he's dead. I'm sure someone from Cobra picked him up and planted that crap inside him

I didn't like that it looks like Scarlett will be falling in love with Ripcord(Give me a break) everyone knows she's always been in love with Duke..as soon as she kissed him I said Horse ****! my wife was like what?

[loosiegoosie]

I want to see it . The warez site only has a cam version to download today. Waiting for a better copy to burn to DVD before I watch it. I'm really glad that they have re-released the GIJOE original cartoon and the original Transformers with all these remakes. those are the bomb.

ok saw the movie last night and i liked it, I give it a solid B+. great summer action movie. The reviews weren't fair, I think the things they slammed it for aside from acting(but who sees an action movie for acting) were way off.

only a couple things annoyed me, and it happens in all adaptations
A) why Kill Storm Shadow when they clearly set up a sequal
b) why kill cover girl? I know in the movie she was sort of gen. hawks aid but still don't kill established characters.



kinda like Smallville, I have no issue with inventing characters such as Chloe, but if you were looking for racial diveristy such as making Pete Ross black, then make the new character black and leave history alone.
