    the new "face" of Cobra Commander

    Not a direction I would have taken....Looks more like a dressed up Toxic Avenger!

    Umm.... Not particuliarly loving it. I am hoping that is a look for early in the film. I hope he does done his traditional helmet at some point.

        Hmmmm....

        Not a fan of the new look: too busy, looks too much like someone from one of the X-Men movies. Like everybody else....

          I don't understand what was wrong with the original look. What are the tubes for? Do they put much needed head juice into other parts of the body?

                I read in an interview that the makers of the movie felt the hooded Cobra Commander made them uncomfortable because they felt it was too KKK. I'm not joking.
                You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                  That just looks stupid.
                  Im going to try and get off my *****ing about movies rant ive been on all week but I think this movie is going to blow too.
                  It aint about the movie, its about the toys and whoever has the fast food promo for it. Sadly we will probaly see 3-4 more movies in this franchise.

                      You got that right, tailored for teenagers, and that is exacly why it will suck. Who thought that teens would dig Joe anyways? That movie should be tailored to 30+ in age,
                      This is what happens when guys with marketing degrees get invovled in things.

                        I agree with you guys. This just looks plain stupid.
                        Lo there do I see my Father.
                        Lo there do I see my Mother and my Sisters and my Brothers.
                        Lo there do I see the line of my people back to the begining.
                        Lo they do call me.
                        They bid me take my place among them.

                          C'mon guys, that looks EXACTLY like Cobra Commander!

                          Please note the sarcasm.

                          I could deal with the changed Transformers. Even giving the Joes a uniform look somewhat makes sense (but still makes them look like X-Men/Matrix rejects). But Cobra? They had a uniform dress code going? Why not use it?

                          I'm getting a Dolph Lungren "Masters of the Universe" vibe off of this. Other than Snake-Eyes being dead-on, I'm not impressed yet.

                            The movie only has 2 things going for it realy...the first is Ray Park as Snake Eyes. He looks awesome and we all know he can do the moves. The second thing is the simple fact that Sienna Miller is HOT!!!! Other than those 2 things , I am not impressed.

                              Heaven forbid a studio make a movie for young people.

                              I would imagine that they are hoping 30 somethings bring their kids, kinda like Transformers, which made a bundle if you recall.

                              We don't need to take everything that is intended for young audiences originally, and turn it into sophisticated adult type movies ala The Dark Knight.

                              I'm a huge Joe fan, and not a huge Michael Bay fan, but I see no problem with them making this a big "blow em up" type feature.

                              And Cobra Commanders mask has been remodelled so many times by hasbro (as has Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow), why get upset about it 20 years after the fact?
