Oh yeah, for those that say what will defeat the movie is the disconnection to the established backstories: 75% of the movie's intended audience HAS NO CLUE ABOUT ANY ESTABLISHED BACKSTORIES!!!

Also keep in mind, the cartoon backstories are different from the comic. So which is correct? And why can't there be another set?
Hell, even the "savior" Resolute had a different backstory for Snake-Eyes (that's closer to RoC then it is RAH). Hell, in the cartoon, Snake-Eyes and Storm Shadow didn't even have a feud, it was Spirit and Storm Shadow.

Its just a movie and its meant to entertain. An open minded person will go into this with that thought and just escape into this new vision of GI JOE and let it stand on its own legs.

But if the costumes were more in keeping with the franchise, I would be more excited about it. The way it is, its like they slapped a GI Joe title on a pre-existing, unrelated movie and tossed in a couple of ninjas and a guy in an iron mask for kicks. |

hollywood just thinks their vision is more exciting and flashy.....even if it means it will be dumb, mindless entertainment.

oh yeah, and i'm NOT open minded about my entertainment (movies, games, music) in the sense that i won't just blindly watch a mindless exploding action flick that makes a mockery of my favorite action figure franchise. that's how it looks to be shaping up to me, and i'm entitled to my disdain for the picture just as you are entitled to your excitement for it.

How's it make a mockery?
It's a G.I. Joe movie. Just like Sigma Six was Joe, Extreme was Joe, Sgt. Savage was Joe, Spytroops was Joe, VvV was Joe, Adventure Team was Joe, ARAH was Joe, and so on.. It can't be a mockery if it's just a version you don't like.
