transformers could have been alot better. it was good, but not great. but, WHAT IF the Autobots had been from planet "Autobotoria" and the decepticons from some equally stupidly named planet...then the war wasn't a civil war, but a war of conquest. What if Optimus was a Jet? What if Megatron was a medic and starscream the leader? those are big changes. so are these.
i've not complained about the casting choices, except for the Rock as shipwreck and Fraser as GungHo. i think that has been pretty good.
i've a question...WHY can't the Snake Eyes / Scarlett relationship work out? cause he's handicapped? cause in THIS movie, he is NOT.
MAJOR CHANGES: ( i hope they don't take this as a name for a knew officer for the GI Joes )
1.) no REAL AMERICAN HERO...that's about as big as they come, when you're taking an American Icon, and making it international. WHY NOT sell american ideals to the world? life, liberty, and happiness not in vogue any longer?
2.) Snake Eyes talking...DUH, that is big
3.) NO Snake Eyes / Scarlett
4.) the Arashikage Clan being based out of Vietnam...and being Korean, when the name is Japanese. ditto the Storm Shadow character.
5.) the main Joe base, the Pit, being based in EGYPT...it isn't a FOB ( forward observation base, it's their main hq...in EGYPT... )
6.) CC being a mad scientist, and the brother of the Baroness. again, pretty damn big.
7.) Snake Eyes being an orphan raised by the previously mentioned Vietnames / Korean / Japanese Ninja Clan. the story has ALWAYS, consistently been that Snake Eyes came from the typical All American family, mom, dad, sister. it even shows in DDP that his father was fairly religious later implying that Snake Eyes had his faith shattered with all that happened to him. the loss of them in his adult life deeply scarred him and is ONE of the reasons that he is as loyal and faithful to his 'new family.' that could easily be played out over 3 films and would help with the development of Scarlett's character.
8.) scarlett as an Aussie...while Aussie's are hot, so are southern girls. she's the anti snake eyes in many ways...product of a large family...he's an orphan as an adult. she has EVERYTHING to prove...he's so confident, that he has to prove nothing...
in other ways, they're the same...tight family, middle american upbringing, 'all american people' etc...
those are pretty big deals.
my opinion is that some of you guys just jumping on the bandwagon, waving away all of this character development ( that could be used in ANY storyline ) are doing so out of sheer exuberance over the movie being made.
i am a bit more picky. i know what i like...and i know GI Joe...this movie has little of either, from what i've read.
