The comics touched on Vietnam veterans transitioning, the Cold War, US interference in Banana Republics (the North American Banana Monopoly!!!), 9/11.
Why not make the movie topical? Have Destro sell arms to actual terrorists (pick one, there're more to choose from now compared to 1982). Make Cobra Commander a general or something in one of the terrorist groups (a regular terrorist, not a physically scarred former friend of Duke). Have CC and Destro join forces. Have a love triangle between Baroness, Destro and CC. Downplay the nanomites bit. Downplay the James Bond undersea base. Get rid of the accelerator suits, and give us a streamlined history of Snake Eyes' and Storm Shadow's relationship. Have a big land and sea battle at the end with MOBAT's, VAMP's, hiss tanks, hydrofoils, hovercrafts, a couple devilfish and an aircraft carrier. That should be plenty for a first GI Joe movie. |

looks like ultra-garbage. I mean, wth is that? it's definitely not GI JOE. it's Starship Troopers meets psuedo-ninja lameness. They dropped the ball severely on this whole mess.
This movie is going to be an abomination. I can just see old school JOE fans walking out of that theatre. |

I didn't know we were allowed to put porn up on these threads, cause I just busted-a-nut! Anybody else with me on this idea...
I'm thinking back to the days before internet...and you walked into a movie thirty and as you take a seat you realize that you're watching a trailer to tim burton's BATMAN...and you say OUT LOUD. "Holy Shiii...". Now I need to clean up. |

Also where's Sgt. Slaughter? He is of course the only real Joe of all Joes who trained them. He should be in it.
If they can make high tech suits, why not lase guns too. The plot is simple, after years past since the end of the origanal cobra leaders, a new group of bad guys continue the cobra legacy to scare the world, so the joes get called back to fight again. |

Whoa! Whoever had the idea for the accelerator suits should be dragged out into the street and shot. Before seeing this trailer, I felt they pulled that garbage because they couldn't come to terms with comic book characters who didn't have super powers. After the trailer I don't see why they don't be honest and call this movie Iron Man Part Deux.

I thought the Baroness was French, though they gave her a pseudo-Russian accent in Sunbow and Resolute.
But anyway, I have to say if the characters and vehicles looked more like GIJOEs and COBRAs I think it'd be getting more positive feedback. While I'm not fond of the accelerator suit idea, I'll give it a chance. This trailer has me more interested than I thought I'd be. That underwater city thing was very Sunbow COBRA-esque. And I love the acid attack on the Eiffel Tower, I must admit, also Sunbow COBRA over-the-top. I know the film will not have much depth or pathos. I'm just hoping it isn't overrun with bad one-liners in a misguided attempt at comedy (something that was blissfully absent in the sober Resolute). |

Ok i've pretty much have had enough of the so called hardcore fans smashing the movie and then trying to smash other fans who do find the trailer pretty cool and are waiting for what looks to be a very fun action flick. I grew up on gi joe so don't try and give me this your a true fan crap. At first i started hating everything i was first hearing about the film. Now that ive seen the teaser and now the trailer i have to say i'm getting pretty excited about the movie. This won't be anything like the the comic i grew up with fo rthe most part but i can excpet that since that just wouldn't work now. period. We haven't seen the movie to judge the characters enough to see if they are like they should be. Just becuase they put on some power suits doesn't mean they are different characters. I want to see more before i throw it under the bus.
The same thing happen before the transformers movie came out the was a a lot of hating going on, but you see how that movie turned out

The Baroness was never Scottish. She was from "Eastern Europe". And yes Cobra Commander is going to be in this. Take a look at some of the pictures on this site.
