I think the movie will be sweet! I'm concerned about the robo-cop looking Techno suits. I can't wait to see Destro and Cobra Commander in their masks. I think Ray Park will make SE as bad-ass as Darth Maul. My last concern is will Sienna Miller pull off the Baroness. Seems like they've showcased her pretty good. Will her acting come off bad ass too? We shall see.

some things look great, some things not so great...
"Destro" is absolutely hands down for me so far, the worst part of this movie...forget the mask and costume change...thats nothing compared to the skinny little whimpy looking guy with a pussy voice to match...i mean, okay, he doesnt wear the mask and the bare chest outfit might be silly, but would it have hurt to find a guy with some brawn, a deep voice and maybe a bald head?...he seems more like Steve Busheme than Destro The Snake Eyes outfit is absolutely awful. Looks okay in a cartoon, horrendous in reality. |

Okay...so pretty much all I've said about the movie is that I'll remain optimistic and open minded. And even after seeing the teaser, my stance is the same. I've watched it a dozen or so times and had plenty of time to review the screenshots (I'm at work) and I just want to give my opinion of the teaser!
1) The first word that comes to mind is exciting. I think we'll see some entertaining action sequences. 2) I actually like the actor they chose for Destro. I liked him in "Gone in 60 Seconds". He IS a little on the pewny side, but his sinister acting ability makes him seem much more threatening than he looks. 3) Sienna Miller def LOOKS the part! Now let's see how devious she can be in her acting. 4) Storm Shadow is OK. I just don't see why they couldn't just make him look like a classic Ninja. He reminds me of the twins from the Matrix. Could've been better, but I can live with it. 5) The power suits are stupid! Why couldn't they have used that sort of CG and added BATS to the film? The tech advantage has always belonged to Cobra, bottom line. And the Joes always won...somehow. That's what made them great! 6) I'm really not diggin' the black uniforms at all! I think the costume designer for this film screwed the pooch here. I mean, you were given the opportunity to recreate these classic styles and all you can come up with is BLACK. Geez! 7) And finally, SE! Like I said before, the costume designer really missed a golden opportunity. His costume could have been one of the most dynamic on the screen. And would've been were it not for everyone else's bat-suits. It just doesn't look right to me. It looks like he's gonna kick some arss anyway, though! That's good! With all that said, I think the movie will be good. Not great, just good, fun, excitement. I would've preferred it had gone in a different direction, personally. But, I'm not a director. And, until I am, I'll have to live with it! |

Well said Snake Eyes. All the haters will eat their words if it rocks. I'm taking the cautiously nervous approach. It can be Good, Amazing or Horrible. It will really come down to the acting.
Baroness... All I have to say is Sienna Miller has the toughest job of them all. We all know Ray Park can kick ass. We know Destro can be menacing however, I have no idea if Siena Miller can pull off sexy and fierce all together. Will there be an accent? This movie better not appear as a Matrix rehash. I watch Matrix now and it's really not as cool as it first was in the theater. I want this movie to be unique to the GI Joe brand.

but even if (and hopefully it will be) the movie is exciting and fun and nostalgic and all of those things, the naysyers will still turn to the acting as their last grasp to attempt to criticize the movie as if it is an important element. |

Other than the S6 armor, it looks surprisingly good so far. Most of the characters look good. Except Storm Shadow' overall look. Acc Suits look like Halo/Robocop/S6 designs all smushed together. Boooo armor. Hooray beer.

What what what? Abs soooo lutley NOT what GI JOE is about...They don't need silly power suits, Sgt. Slaughter can smash 50 BATs up with is bare hands!
IT IS about "GI Joe is the codename for American's daring, highly trained special mission force (I do not read this as highly trained specialized Robo-implant suites modernized with Nanites). Quote:

Still trying to figure out if those are Rock Vipers with the Baroness, looks like they are taking some direct hits and it's not affecting them. The two that look like there from an Army of Two.
