However, the lack of color is lame. If Cobra Vipers are going to be wearing dark blue (will look black basically) and the Joes are wearing all black, well...isn't that just a basic design fault? You don't have your good guys and bad guys wear the same colors.
For all those that say the original costumes wouldn't look good on film...please bury this ridiculous goose-stepping rhetoric. It's not true. The X-Men films feared their comic book costumes and what did we get? Bland black costumes. Nothing interesting about them. And they didn't sell toys either. Spider-Man's costume works on film (with minor details added). Iron Man looks great. Why weren't their costumes all black? Wouldn't that have been the way to update them?
These Sigma 6 (which I liked...as toys) type costumes are just curious choices. Sigma 6 failed. Why imitate it? IT DIDN'T WORK.
The current GI Joe line is probably the hottest toyline out there right now. And what costumes are they doing? The original, recognizable looks. And people are scooping them up. Why not imitate that in the film? Want to update them? Fine, make some tweaks. At least use some color in the costumes and try to make them look somewhat like the looks they've had for 20+ years and not like they're wearing Lazer Tag costumes.
I fear for this movie. Hopefully we'll get some cool vehicles. But I can't help but think this movie will suck...hard.
I for one really hope this movie doesn't suck.
