It wasn't a self-destruct button... it was an abort launch button. I guess aborting while the missiles are in the tubes cause the satellites to explode (which is a little strange, seeing as how they contained no explosives).

The Atomic 8 scene should have happened half way through the movie to establish Cobra's reign over the world. Countries acquiesce and the Zues satellites are used to keep them in line. More shots of Cobra flags over the White House and other major government centers, as well as President Zartan handing over the Oval Office to Cobra Commander.
Present Cobra as a world dominating force - hell they put 6 world destorying satellites in space without raising an eyebrow. Instead we get a disorganized, incompetent Cobra ... something the Sunbow fans can cheer. |

My biggest nitpick is that hasbro will never make the old lady ninja healer. Seriously, I want that figure.
And that now when the ultimate figures hit, I'll probably spend hundreds of dollars so I can do head swaps and have a mostly uniformed joe team like in the movie. I want a President Zartan and dreadnok secret service 7 pack. Someone make that happen. |

-Firefly's accent
-Lady Jaye's real name, Jane Bernett, not Alison Hart-Bernett -Storm Shadow survived but how? -Where is Scarlett? -No Baroness -Cobra's threat came to late in the movie -Lady Jaye didn't have short hair. These are the things that really stuck out to me. |

You stole my comeback! That was EXACTLY what I was thinking!

Getting back on track instead of fighting over opinions....
Let me state that I loved the movie and was very happy with it. Was it perfect? No. My nitpicks: 1) the Cobra troopers looked lame and boring! I didn't expect them to look like the original or even the movie action figure, but maybe at least a black balacava (sp?) over the mouth? It seemed like some things were so meticulously represented with faithfulness in mind, but those Cobra Troopers had no inspiration from anywhere in canon. 2) Would've loved the HISS tanks to look more accurate to the original design... 3) Would've liked Firefly to keep his mask on more (but was honestly surprised he had it on as often as he did!) 4) In such a high security prison, isn't having the worst prisoners in tanks that shatter from gunfire a little convenient?? 5) Why do the guards go to such lengths to save Storm Shadow's life, thus allowing him to escape? But although I have nitpicks, let me post my ANTI-nitpick a.k.a. "WHEW!" moment: the Arashikage logo wasn't on all the Joe vehicles like the toys have. WHEW!! Point 2: I do think it was great that the one officer explained the name of the tanks to CC as he came in though, "You're going to love this. High Speed Sentry - H.I.S.S." Fully Agree on #3 and 4. Point 5: In every prison (at least U.S. run), they have to keep prisoners in as good health as possible. They couldn't just let him die. We had a lethal injection halted a few years back because the inmate had the flu. They had to wait until he had a clean bill of health before thy could kill him!

I swear i kept hearing everyone call Roadblock "Block". Like his name was too long. But it might have been me.

Nope, I heard it too. And Lady Jaye was Jaye. If Flint had a longer name they would have shortened it. Of course that would have meant teh screenwriters actually wrote scenes involving Flint.

My only gripes were they killed off Firefly which was one my favorite characters in the show and then they killed Zartan. I wish they would have full cast Vosloo just to play him as both the president and zartan without the need for Jonathan Pryce, the CGI showing of his face after he cut himself with the knife was terrible, lowest point in the movie for me. They also really didn't explore Zandar...had some issues with the extra characters and then like wtf did they go? Like the prison warden...and then Mouse...other then that...it felt like a joe cartoon in live action to me....at least they used real bullets and didnt have stupid storm trooperesque mindless nanite drones walking around...did a good job of separating it from ROC..
