I am a LOOOOOOONG time Joe fan dating back to my first to figures in 1982 (straight arm Stalker & Snake Eyes!). Here's my analysis...
Costumes:
As far as the costumes go, it has been said in numerous interviews that the costumes we've seen (with the exception of Snake Eyes and Baroness) are battle armor and not their only costumes. They've been keeping those costumes close to their vests for the time being. Maybe those costumes will look similar to the original, maybe not, who knows? It is simply too soon to disregard a movie based off of costumes. That's just silly.
Casting:
Quaid as Hawk had me sold! Baroness is HOT. Ray Park is perfect for Snake Eyes. SO Duke is younger than he was in the toon/comic. And the casting of he & Cobra Commander make it seem like it could be a sequel to 'Stop Loss', so what, both of those actors were great in that movie as well.
Not sticking to source material:
I have bootleg copies of the entire toon series (Sunbow & DIC). I also have all of the comics (Marvel, Image, DD - OK, not Dark Horse, but do you blame me there?). I have watched and re-watched the toons... I have read and re-read the comics. They are both GREAT fun. They were also incredibly silly at times (in the case of the cartoon, silly most of the time). I think we have such a love for what was old that we overly glorify it.
I just think to say 'it sucks' before we see it is premature. Yes, it may very well suck. I haven't been happy with all of the images I've seen, but I'll still give it a chance before I discount it entirely.
I kept saying to myself, The Transformers movie is going to blow... the characters don't even look remotely the same as they did... I WAS WRONG! If Joe sucks, then so be it... If you want to continue saying it's going to suck, go for it, freedom of speech. I just think you should all see it before passing judgement.
here here! GREAT POST!!!
