Penguin Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 I'm kinda conflicted about the movie. I loved the Marvel comic (pre-Ninja Force, anyway), and IDW is pretty good too (Devil's Due hit and miss), but thought the cartoon was dumb (except G.I.Joe Absolute - I loved it). So when it came to the movie, I have fun watching it as a dumb action film, but then every once in a while my head says "remember: this is the G.I.Joe movie" and I get annoyed at the movie interpretation. If I think about the movie compared to the G.I.Joe stuff I enjoyed, things big and small just tick me off: - Why does Snake-Eyes' mask have a mouth? And would people let go of that stupid visor? The first "commando" look was always best. (Okay, that last bit is just my preference.) - Scarlett's speciaity is counter-intelligence, a task often involving deep understanding of people and their motivations in order to recognize and defeat attempts at infiltration. Now she's child genius, "emotions-don't-compute", with a crossbow for no reason. Bah. - Dumbest Cobra Command mask ever at the end. - Ice sinks? That's a neat trick. (I know the dialogue says "ice and steel", but the visuals don't back it up.) - "Green shirts." Hated them in the cartoon, hate 'em still. This is supposed to be an elite, covert team, not a mini-army. - Delta Six Accelerator Suits... unnecessary, ugly. Did I mention the team was supposed to be covert? The whole film reminds me of Brosnan Bond films, filled with dumb sci-fi junk technology. - Did we need a Sgt. Slaughter revamp? On the other hand I loved Chris Eccleston and Dennis Quaid... great choices there. Arnold Vosloo wasn't too bad either. Quote

VFTF1 Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 Well... does that mean Cobra Commander will wear blue? Or will we see him in a battle suit? A silver metalic face mask? The one he put on in the movie was kind of uninspiring. I mean...it was a face mask - ok. And it showed his eyes. Ok... but... I dunno... I guess it wasn't THAT bad. It was ok... just not what I was used to... Oh! Oh! I know!! Tomax and Xamot! They could introduce the twins for sure!! Bettin' they will do just that!! And Dread Knocks!! Pete not even a GI Joe fan Quote
