Zartan can turn invisible or "holographically" change his appearance. That's not even realistic now much less in the early 80's. SNAKE suits provide extra strength and armor. They may not have super-speed but they get built-in weaponry and brainwashing devices. Why is that any different? Just because they're bigger? No, we know the real answer is "because it was imagined in the 80's instead of today!" It really just boils down to some folks being completely unable to take off their nostalgia glasses. |

After seeing this I'm looking forward to this re-imagining of the Joe universe. I think a lot of people are forgetting that this is a re-imagining, much like almost every comic book movie from the last 9 years and transformers. Just because it isn't exactly what we all remember from our childhoods doesn't make it bad, or negate the good parts from the other mediums that these characters have been a part of, rather it enhances them and brings a new spin on some old favorites.

watched it twice. Where's Baroness' accent. Im still pissed habro made the resolute Duke figure look like tatum! It all looks very busy. sure lots of action but will the story get lost in this? I still prefer resolute but i'll see this 2 or 3 weeks after its out. there was nothing impressive about SE/SS duel..two guys clashing swords...woopie! This is 2009 joe, not our joe. I'll work with it.

You know what I love about this? It brings out all the wankers who live to criticize in the name of being a 'pissed off hard core collector, yeah!' ... The really funny thing is that you will ALL go see the movie, love the hell out of it, and then come home and then launch smear campaigns because it isn't canon. No kidding sherlocks. If they just catered to the hard-core fans then VERY FEW people would see it relatively. Hell, it wouldn't even had been produced if they were just aiming to that audience.
It's just a trailer, quit your crying. Better yet, don't see the movie! That way I (a fan and giving it a chance) and people like me don't have to sit next to people like you in the theater. The same people are doing this for Trek, and the same people will see the movie, enjoy it, then smash it on the forums when they get home. Calling the people that see it traitors, is a mentally challenged comment from someone that instead of being a fan, is just a poseur. Quote:

Looks like a Sci-Fi channel movie of the week!....*sigh*.......No one wanted to love this movie more than I did. This movie will be to G.I.Joe what X3 was to X-Men. Wake me up when G.I.Joe Origins: Snake Eyes goes into production.

Sorry to get off the "This is the worst/best movie ever, even though nobody's seen the movie yet" topic. But did anybody else notice that Duke is holding a beat up Baroness right after Hawk says the mission is a go.

They're fundamentally the same thing. The JUMP packs were portrayed as being capable of things no Earthly Jet Pack could do. Just like these suits.

It looked like the pilot of the night raven took on WIld Weasel's mask??? It didn't look like a strato viper at all.
I think the trailer looked VERY entertaining, no Cobra yet just M.A.R.S but that is why the movie is called the rise of Cobra, perhaps the next movie will be more like what some of you are looking for. Dont get me wrong I was looking forward to seeing Cora Commander wearing his battle mask and cobra troopers attacking wearing their blue uniforms with red cobra symbols. I wanted a dark movie where Cobra was all powerful.... We might get that in the second movie (If there is one) This is basically like Star Wars where you know Anikin is going to become Vader and you just want to hurry the damn thing up and get there and oh look we get 5 seconds of Vader looking out a window at the Death Star. Ok I am done rambling now :-) COBRA!!!!!!
