Actors try to promote films the way they think is best without consulting a studio. She apparently thinks she's really hot and that all of us fans like hot women shooting guns. Someone should tell her we thought we were getting a 4 hour "talky" chick flick.

Well, the pictures of her as Baroness are now explained. This girl is just a victim of a story with no story in. We must prepare to endure a sad experience in august 2009. Please Mr Hama stop the nightmare (and don't ruin Zartan) ...

Swafus you are right on the money man! The characters are very complex and have been carefully developed over 25 years. I don't think any of us thought the new joe movie would be more like Dolph Lundgrens "HE-MAN" but it looks a lot like it only with a slightly bigger budget.

yeah, nothing screams complex like a villain who creates a global terrorist organization out of an Amway scheme, who exhibits such B-Movie behaviors like killing his own men -- because he's bad! these characters never behave in a manner that is conflicting or shows real drama. they behave like archetypes through and through. sure, it was most our first experience with a tale that wasn't juvenile or pandering, but the absence of such does not equate to complex. complex is Platoon, or the Godfather. G.I. Joe has all the complexity of Armageddon or American Ninja. sure, people die, and they make sacrifices in those movies too, but no one would ever accuse them of being complex.
Exactly. I think people are mistaking complexity with longetivity. |

if you think the characters are so weak and stereotypical why do you even care about gi joe at all. why not focus on something more complex that you find more valid and interesting.
