From what I read the writer of the original script was rushed due to the writers strike. So with all that considered, I think he did a pretty good job. Was it everything you wanted? Not really, but you know when the film industry gets a hold of a movie they butcher it. They did a really good job of adding in little bits and pieces for the fans. Not sure if you all are fans of the comics but the part where Breaker takes Duke's bubble gum and blows a bubble is classic! He seems to have a never ending supply of that stuff in the comics, almost every shot has him blowing a bubble.
Also for anyone dissapointed in the Baroness' accent, I read from Larry Hamma I believe that he never wrote her in the comics to have that accent. He didn't watch the cartoon version that used the accent so it was never written in his comics. I do hope they do some clean up work in the sequel. Not sure how they will explain her turning to the good side, unless the Commander brainwashes her again with the nanomites. Also, if I am not mistaken, the Hard Master was killed by Zartan and not Storm Shadow, who later turned sides and joined the Joes. If this is true how the heck do they explain that one? If Zartan flashed back the same as SE and SS he would have been a child also. Pretty evil little kid I guess. But why would he be in a Japanese temple anyway? The only real dissapointment I had was casting Channing Tatum as Duke. Had they not told me who he was I would have never known. His performance was terrible and did nothing for the character. Overall, an awesome movie and I would love to see it again. Collecting the figures before seeing the movie gave me a good heads up on the characters and vehicles. Now I just have to get more of the vehicles and the PIT after seeing them in action... although if the PIT was the same PIT in the movie how was that mobile when it was burried under the desert? And where did all the sand go when the Terrordrone doors open on it? Next movie get a new Duke and fix Cobra Commanders mask! Look at Iron Man. That was true to the history and was awesome. Joe was crap. Rushed, pure crap. RULE#1 Don't change stuff for NO reason. |

I actually reaaaalllly like the Doctor's voice. It reminded me a lot of Charlie Adlers voice work in Resolute. Kind of deep and subdued but still raspy. I didn't like the heavy effects on his voice once he donned to mask though.

I also thought it was kinda funny how Rex was like a 3rd wheel when he was hanging with Duke.. just in the background, not much to him.. the one scene he didnt even have any lines.. just standing around smiling.. kinda cheesy o & overall the Joe Team sucked.. Heavy Duty was lame as hell.. Roadblock would of been much better.. Breaker was a dork.. should of had Sparks in there.. Marlon As RipCord was terrible.. Ripcord should'nt of been an original Joe.. should of made Sgt Flash or Rock & Roll.. or some other original Joe.. & kept them as their original character.. I think if Marlon would of played Stalker i would of been ok with it.. Im just sick of them changing it up so much..

Marlon Wayans a Ripcord was retarded.
Lets take a redheaded white Halo Jumper and make him a Black Infantryman that wisecracks and macs on scarlet. WTF If they wanted a multicultural feel with Duke's buddy than use the character Stalker. Stalker rocked in the toon and comics. Marlon Wayans looked the part, cut the lame jokes and he would have been cool. Instead they made ripcord a pair of Clownshoes. Lets not forget how lame Duke was. ..... |

not liking the movie does not make one a naysayer.
the movie was poorly made. there was no dramatic tension, even in the action scenes. in the hands of a better director, the movie could have been really good, the material wasn't bad brought to life. but Sommers is absolutely awful. he is Brett Ratner awful. |

In the sequel, I am looking forward to Cobra Commander passing on his discarded wig or hair piece to Destro bec. the old hair piece should be put to good use.

I thought Marlon Waynes rocked. He was the most believable actor in the film.
They should've just used a plastic Duke action figure in place of Mr. Abercrombie, the acting would've been better.

Storm Shadow needs a better personality bec. in the movie, he acted like Destro's dog and even served as the chastity belt for the Baroness. It is unfortunate that Storm Shadow was turned into a Baroness chastity belt by Destro in the movie. Next time, Destro should just use the nanomites to create a chastity belt for the Baroness since the nanomites seem capable of doing anything like God.

When it was all over, I thought it was easily the most fun I'd had watching anything in a theater this year.

Sounds like you're a fan of the cartoon and it's DUKE/SCARLETT romance, dumb BAZOOKA, clichéd black & white villain STORM SHADOW and third-fiddle SNAKE EYES... ...And you didn't like the movie??
