Meowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww~
I've just watched this movie today..... This is first part of my review. sorry if it will displease any member right here meowmeow~ I've forgot where did I try to quote at the first place. I only save it on Notepad and paste it here, should any faults occure. Did Sommers trying not to overcross his Joes with Michael Bay's Transformers continuity? Anyone watched TF2: Revenge should recall the pun that Epps were calling support from Gen. Hawk.. Remember who he is? Didn't Joes exists in the time of TF2 (2009) instead of 2020? Were they trained to fight those alien robots instead of what that will one day become Cobra faction? S.H.A.R.K has enough potential to kill any Destrons with ease! p'rhaps their early missions were against Destrons instead of Cobra. - None of joe members were portrayed as TF wars veterans. or some of them was? - Did M.A.R.S. ever portrayed as having their own (and independent) armed forces? except in "Synthoid Conspiracy" episode where M.A.R.S. shield jets appears. - The terrorist organization (that will become Cobra) was just toooooooooo... elit. ish, as tough as transformers themselves! all normal weapons just won't do! remember TF2007 where american troops were fighting Scorponok? same feelings.... i'd even imagine whether will Nanomite works against Megatron? it seems Namomite (or even several Cobra weapons) will do against those alien threats. - And not to mention the so-called Vipers. there were just too... toughs. remember that in 80s . Cobra always make uses of a sheer number of Cobra soldiers armed with "conventional" weapons. Sector 7 in TF2007 looks much closer to Cobra.. IMO .. - The "Baroness" in this movie was american, and earn her title via marriage (Is there any Barons, Prince and Princess left in the "No Roi's land?" like Modern Republic France?). while in 80s. she was portrayed as "Born as european aristocrat..., earn her title through heredity" Dita von Tesse fits "Baroness" definition .... not Miller. Baroness never portrayed as being/was Duke's GF in 80s. - "G.I. Joe" exists for a long time, Duke and Ripcord are a latest members.... : In 80s Boths are joe members already! Duke is a "de facto" Commander of joes. not a survivor of 'Cobra'(they were MARS troops, since there are no. not even a single COBRA warcry present in the movie) raid and then become Joe. the facts that Joes (and cobra) have access to (a slightly) superior gears is okay. (although 'laser firearms exists in 80s' is not) - The First Count McCullen (Destro's ancestor) to wear an iron mask: The fact that he live during English Civil War (and even 30 years wars) is a true one. but in 80s, he got caught and punished in Britain, not in France. .... Did the movie try to say that he is the same person as "A man in the Iron Mask", and did Sommer try to overcross G.I. Joe with D'artagnan romances? - 'Cobra Commander' reveals his face too fast. his origin is too.... obivious, our well known Cobra Commander (or Old Snake) has a mysterious origin. and surprisingly. He was with Duke and Ripcord in the past. our known Cobra Commander and Duke NEVER work for the same organization before... (But Snake Eyes was one of Cobra lackeys when the organization was at the beginning stage) The fact that Snake Eyes and Stormshadow are the ninja of the same school is acceptable. - Snake Eye's origin is very obscure. our well known SnakeEyes got Ninja training in Japan voluntary, not because of a kind-hearted "Sensei" - Scarlet and Heavy Duty falls for each other: Our known Scarlet is Duke's GF (and sometimes Snake eye's). - Our well-known Zartan always portrayed as being an Indian merc. (?) always wear a long hair, and always prone to sunlight. (and he suffers this defect from his birth). not an old bloke with no known origin. His role is too small though, where was he after he got The President captured? the movie doesn't say. - And CoverGirl (starred by Karolina Kurkova, a modelswoman whom I see her first on FTV) has a very little role, nothing more than being a secretary to Gen. Hawk - Cobra new jet "Nightraven" appears too fast. Where are their Rattlers? - And "Rhino" is too weak. What will Joe APC be? will it be another "Aliens" esque thing? - Storm Shadow exposed. Our well known StormShadow always wear Ninja hoods and never wear suits. More to come... on my reviews. |

Uhm... what???
(BTW.. I don't know how you missed it, but Zartan is the president at the end..) What's with trying to draw comparasions and connections to Transformers? There isn't any. The thing with Tyrese Gibson (not Omar Epps) calling was an "easter egg", just something thrown in there for the fans to go "cool" over, not a real connection. There is no connection. Now, what did you think of the movie by itself? It already sounds like you went in expecting an exact copy of the 80s ARAH. BTW, even in the 80s, Zartan was not Indian and wore a hood. Scarlett and Heavy Duty?? What? Scarlett and Ripcord, and they don't fall for eachother. They flirt. There's a difference. This was one of the oddest reviews I've ever read.

Yeah, sorry, but I just don't follow.
You seem genuinely surprised that the film wasn't a direct translaion of 80's Joe, when that's been clear from the start. People really should be judging this film based on what it was, not what it wasn't. Sadly, I know that isnt going to happen.

*Blinks* HUH? *shakes head* Ripcord and Heavy duty.... don't.... look even remotely similar.... not... even at all. lol That's like saying Brad Pitt and Steve Bushimimi look 'very similar' because they're both white. *Is just baffled* |

This review still baffles me.
I feel somehow less intelligent after reading it.
