Very true and as I've posted earlier you can make a judgement on the information leaked so far without condemning the whole movie. Of course, based on that information, it's not looking good for that movie.
Here's a summation of all I've learned from a contact connected to the film...
1. The film is almost completely non-stop frenetic action occasionally interrupted by an unusual number of flashbacks.
2. Cobra Commander was formerly a member of GI Joe but he turns against the team ...and I guess the World... after a disastrous Joe mission leaves him disfigured. He was also a good pal of Duke's, but that friendship also heads south after CC's face is burnt.
3. Cobra Commander is described as wearing a monocle. His lower face is disfigured and for most of his few scenes hidden by a "cyborg mask." "Cyborg mask" is my friend's description. Not mine.
4. Cobra Commander isn't in the movie very much. Destro also has very few scenes. It looks as if Baroness and Storm Shadow do most of the work in this flick.
5. My source liked Storm Shadow's look but said he barely wears the white outfit that's been circulated. Keep in mind that my source is only a casual Joe fan. He's not a collector of the toys and probably hasn't seen the cartoon since he was a kid.
6. In one flashback to some sort of Spanish Inquisition type of ceremony, you see Destro ...or an ancestor... being given the classic Destro mask. This is one of the very few moments you see the actual mask.
7. My source described the movie as a big commercial for a lot of toys. No surprise there!
8. Brendan Fraser is described as having a cameo where he shows up on a motorcycle. He's bare-chested with a big tattoo on his chest. My source called him Gung-Ho, but again, keep in mind, he's only a casual fan.
9. For the first half of the movie, the Joes are wearing black Matrix style outfits. Later they switch to what my source described as "robot suits" which I guess we can assume are these power suits everyone keeps mentioning.
10. Wayons is in the movie A LOT! My source described him as looking "annoying" and in one scene he's being arrested while in his "power suit."
11. The movie is set in the future but you really can't tell it's the future.
12. The Cobra soldiers look nothing like the figures or the cartoon but according to my source, "they look cool." Again, he's only a casual fan.
13. GI Joe HQ has a wall of monitors above which is a sign that reads, "KNOWING IS HALF THE BATTLE."
14. Snake-Eyes' mask has a mouth that hasn't been visible in the publicity photos but can clearly be seen on screen. My source thought that looked stupid.
15. Towards the end of the film, Storm Shadow guts Hawk and kills him.
16. According to my source... and this is his opinion... it did not look like a very good movie. He didn't think the general public would like it and devoted Joe fans would surely hate it. Again, his opinion!
I know some of this information has been talked about already, but I wanted to collect everything I'd been made privy to in one post for easy reference.
