I understand what you mean and agree to an extent. my whole point is this is the first movie in a possible trilogy. CC may evolve into what we know. I still have my 1983 CC and love the look of the figure. I'd love an updated version of that. but this is what we got now. so long as ROC CC still acts and behaves like ARAH CC then we still win. as we all know GI JOE has evolved over the years and has had many changes. besides they have to get us to buy new figures for the sequel somehow.
Judging solely by the trailers, it really doesn't appear that any of the Joe's have any charisma or charm (other than maybe Quaid who likely won't see any action). The most interesting character is one who never speaks! Without a good villain I fear there'll be nothing for a new audience to feel attached to. It just doesn't look like fun (even though that's the primary word I have heard Sommers and the cast use most to describe the movie)! Either way I'll be seeing it. If it is a fun and entertaining film in the spirit of the 80's show, then I suggest Paramount fires their trailer guy because he's not doing the film a service!

yea the trailers are a bit tiresome these days. why couldnt they have a sneak peek (ala mtv movie awards clip of the France fight) of Destro talking to the Doctor so we could hear how JGL sounds.

I get that too. It looks like this film primarily has M.A.R.S. as the villainous organization and somehow it grows into COBRA. My fear is that they diverge so far from what made it popular that they won't get another chance to get it right! If this isn't a hit then we'll never see it done right. I hope I'm wrong, but I have stated before that this reminds me of the 'Masters of the Universe' film of the 80's. That film was crushing to me when I was 8 years old because it got everything wrong. By trying to be more 'realistic' or more sci-fi they actually made a ridiculous film with new characters that were not 'fun'. A little camp or melodrama would have served it better (that and never having it take place on Earth).

It also irks me that none of the Cobra operatives seem to have the Cobra logo on their uniforms. Storm Shadow and Baroness were the most obvious to me. That logo is the coolest, but they don't seem wear it! The Joes have their new logo all over their stuff. I've avoided spoilers other than the trailers, but I did see some toys at Target. It looked like they had snow mobiles and other stuff. Not sure why we haven't been shown that stuff. |

I think if the Cobra Vipers are goin to wear the insignia it better be a good red version on their chest plates and the Crimson Vipers get the white version of the insignia.

I wish this wasn't a 'origin story' film. I wish they could have done the film like the new Hulk movie with Edward Norton. All you need is a cool title sequence and then just hit the ground running! Stories that exist in comics and cartoons shouldn't have to be set up all over again.

I been saying that C.C.s origin shouldnt even be revealed...it wasnt shown on the first cartoon episode, it wasnt in the first comic and it wasnt on his filecard...Its cooler when you dont know bad guys motivations, till later on....
and Storm Shadow...there shouldnt be any indication that him and Snake Eyes know each other, till the whole sleeve rip thing , like the comic...leave it for a sequel...
